SUBJECT: Treasurer’s Report for the Quarter Ending
March 31, 2024
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Finance Department – City Treasurer
SUMMARY
PORTFOLIO VALUE:
The City’s portfolio ended the quarter with a market value of $84,729,236. This represents a discount of $2,536,838 from par value, or purchase price. As the City maintains an Investment Policy that follows a strict “buy and hold” strategy, there is no economic gain or loss upon call or maturity. The City’s securities continue to earn interest at the stated rates through the dates of redemption.
LIQUIDITY:
Liquidity meets the statutory requirements with $35,150,074 in LAIF for immediate availability. “LAIF” stands for Local Agency Investment Fund, and is operated by the California State Treasurer to act as an immediate-access account for local governments and special districts in California.
EARNINGS:
Investment earnings from the invested portfolio of government agency bonds, corporate securities, and certificates of deposit, but excluding LAIF, for the current quarter collected from January 1, 2024, through March 31, 2024, total $340,936, which represents an annualized rate of 2.62%. Investment earnings from LAIF for the current quarter total $358,734, which represents an annualized rate of 4.08%. Combined, investment earnings were $699,670, representing a total annualized rate of return of 3.21% for this quarter.
Please note that this represents interest payments and dividends actually earned by the City during the quarter, and may not necessarily reflect all interest payments and dividends payable to the City for the current quarter due to differing payment schedules and variable interest rates.

PORTFOLIO COMPLIANCE
The portfolio complies with California code sections concerning safety and liquidity in the investment of public funds. Investment strategies are based on liquidity requirements and interest rate projections and have been collaboratively determined by the City Treasurer, City Manager, and Director of Finance. The City Treasurer executes trades in accordance with these strategies.
Required Contents of Investment Reports
California Government Code Section 53646(b) suggests that the quarterly investment report of a local agency contain certain items. These items include the type of investment, the issuer’s name, the date of maturity of the security, the par amount of the instrument, the market value, and the dollar amount invested in each security. The source of the market value also should be included in the report. The report also must reference all funds that are under the management of external investment providers, such as investment advisors and investment managers. A local government’s quarterly report, if submitted, must state the portfolio’s compliance with the agency’s investment policy or manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance. Finally, the investment report must include a statement regarding the local agency’s ability to meet its cash flow needs for the next six months.
Accordingly, I advise you of the following facts in compliance with Government Code Section 53646(b):
1. The source of the valuations included herein is U.S. Bank, Saint Paul, MN 55107.
2. No funds are under the management of external providers or managers. Investment decisions are made by a consensus of the City Treasurer, City Manager, and Director of Finance.
3. The City’s portfolio remains in strict compliance with the Investment Policy of the City of La Mesa for FY 2023-2024.
4. The City of La Mesa’s investment portfolio more than adequately assures the City’s ability to meet its cash flow needs during the ensuing six months.

BACKGROUND:
The 0.44-acre project site includes a total of three legal lots, one of which has frontage on the east side of La Mesa Boulevard, and two of which have frontage on the west side of Wood Street, as can be seen on the vicinity map. The property located at 8923 La Mesa Boulevard is currently developed with an existing two-story commercial building with a parking lot on the adjacent parcel to the west. Driveway entrances exist off of La Mesa Boulevard and Wood Street. A 15-foot easement for vehicular and incidental purposes is located on the south side of the property and serves as common driveway access to the properties addressed 8923 La Mesa Boulevard and 8917 La Mesa Boulevard. The project proposes to construct a 3,694 square foot addition to create a three-story, three-unit commercial building and improve the existing parking lot. In addition, the project proposes to demolish an existing single-family residence located at 5264 Wood Street in order to provide additional parking for the development. Existing photos of the project site are provided in Attachment C.

La Mesa Boulevard, an arterial street, is
a high capacity road that carries longerdistance flows between important centers of activity and serves as a major
transit corridor running east-west
through the center of the City. Wood
Street is classified as a local street,
which is a low-volume street providing
access to adjacent private property. The
California State Route 125 is located
nearby to the west and the Interstate 8
is located nearby to the north as can be
seen on the vicinity map. MTS bus route
852 runs along University Avenue to La
Mesa Boulevard, and the closest stop is
approximately 250 feet from the project
site located on the corner of La Mesa
Boulevard and Grossmont Boulevard.
The MTS Orange Line at the Grossmont Station is also located approximately 0.7 miles away from the project site. Existing improvements along the frontages of La Mesa Boulevard and Wood Street include sidewalk, curb and gutter. On-street parking is also available on both streets.
The surrounding area is developed with a variety of commercial and residential uses, including shops, offices, and services along La Mesa Boulevard. Offices, single-family and multifamily residences are located along Wood Street. Surrounding development includes the Sedano Lincoln dealership to the west, a licensed cannabis dispensary to the north, commercial and office complexes to the east, and single-family residential to the north.
Zoning and Entitlements
The project (three parcels) is located in both the C-D-MU (General Commercial/Urban Design Overlay/Mixed Use Overlay) zone and the R3-P-MU (Multiple Unit Residential/ Scenic Preservation Overlay/ Mixed Use Overlay) zone, as shown on the Zoning Map.
The base zone, General Commercial (C), allows for commercial development, including retail, office, and service uses. The site’s Planned Land Use Designation of Mixed Use Urban corresponds to the Mixed Use Overlay (MU) zone, which also allows for commercial uses, with an emphasis on neighborhood serving uses that generate pedestrian activity. Additionally, the Scenic Preservation Overlay (P) zone, allows for projects that retain natural topography, vegetation, and scenic features of the site insofar

as feasible and incorporated into each
proposed development with minimal
grading.
Per Chapter 24.18 (A7), of the La Mesa
Municipal Code (LMMC), Urban Design
Review is required for all new
development and major renovation of
existing development that includes
remodeling of, or additions to, existing
structures that exceeds two thousand
five hundred square feet within the MU
zone. The Design Review Board (DRB)
reviewed for consistency with the City’s
Urban Design Program and the Design
Guidelines for Properties in the MU
Zone and recommended approval of the
project on March 25, 2024. The DRB
Certification of Action is provided as
Attachment A.
Additionally, LMMC 24.18 (A7) requires Site Development Plan review for all new development and major renovation over 2,500 square feet for analysis as to whether development requirements are complied with, design objectives are achieved, and whether any detriment to the public health, safety or welfare would result from the project.
For this project, Site Development Plan review is subject to Planning Commission approval for the requested collective parking modification. The Planning Commission shall review and approve site development plans with parking modifications for collective parking when it is demonstrated that all uses can be sufficiently served because of varying hours of operation and for varying peak parking demand times. The Site Development Plan was approved by the Planning Commission on April 17, 2024. Planning Commission Resolution No. PC-2024-03 is provided as Attachment B. The approval was subject to appeal to the City Council for ten calendar days. No appeals were filed.
DISCUSSION:
The project consists of a 3,694 square foot third story addition and major renovation to an existing two-story modern commercial building. The intent of the Urban Design Program is to assure the future quality of the City’s appearance and to enhance the beauty of La Mesa through urban design principles such as fit, vitality, function, form and texture, access, sense of place, pedestrian interest, and structural orientation. The project appears to meet the intent of the Urban Design Program policies and the Design

Guidelines for Properties in the MU Zone through architectural design principles, pedestrian orientation, and site design. On March 25, 2024, the Design Review Board reviewed the project plans in consideration of the City’s Urban Design Program and Design Guidelines for Properties in the Mixed Use Overlay and determined the following:
Architectural Design Principles
The project proposes to modernize the existing building through simple, clean lines, and large geometric block forms. Although the neighborhood mainly consists of older buildings built in the 1960s and 1970s, the proposed modernization of the building is compatible with the architectural design of the newly renovated Sedano Lincoln dealership located to the west at 8930 La Mesa Boulevard. The addition of more modern architectural design in the area helps contribute to the variety of uses and design in the City. A combination of building wall color and materials of white stucco for the base color, and black metal and finished natural wood as accents, is proposed for the building. Window and door frames are proposed to have a black metal frame.
The use of varying neutrals and earth tones for the building colors provides visual interest and contrast, while not detracting from the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the Urban Design Program states that the colors for a building should reflect the application techniques that relate to the material’s architectural heritage. The project does this through the natural wood finish, white stucco, and black metal for the building. The project also provides a consistent use of the proposed colors, materials, and detailing across all elevations, creating architectural consistency across the entirety of the building. Project plans are provided as Attachment D, project renderings, to illustrate how the development would appear from the street, are provided as Attachment E, and a color and materials board is included as Attachment F.
The variety in surface planes, forms, and textures appears to create variety and interest across all building elevations. Horizontal and vertical offsets, and varying roof projections have all been applied to achieve visual interest, including the beveled edge on the northwest corner of the building, the projecting staircase enclosures, and the setback of the third floor to create an area for rooftop outdoor dining. These offsets contribute to the human scale, proportion, and massing of the building. All rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened and integrated into the design through wood parapet walls.
Additional interest is provided through the use of the blue tinted glass railings for the building stairways. The exposed breezeways provide architectural relief, and connect the building with the outside. The large expanse of windows on the North, South, and West Elevations also help connect the interior spaces to the outdoors by visually extending interior spaces outside through glazing. These features can be an important feature of the urban environment, and provide natural surveillance to the property.

Pedestrian Orientation
The intent of the MU Design Guidelines is to create walkable and lively places where people want to live, work, and stroll by improving the pedestrian experience. The project improves the pedestrian experience through the addition of street trees and wider sidewalk on La Mesa Boulevard, and by providing visual interest at the ground floor of the building.
To activate the streetscape in the MU zone, a twelve-foot wide pedestrian realm is required in front of all mixed-use projects along Circulation Element designated streets.
The pedestrian realm requirement would apply to the street frontage on La Mesa Boulevard, but not the street frontages on Wood Street. The project’s pedestrian realm on La Mesa Boulevard is proposed to implement sidewalk improvements including the addition of two Gold Medallion street trees in pedestrian-friendly tree grates. There are no visual disruptions along the frontage of the project such as open parking lots, parking structures, and blank walls which provides for continuity of the pedestrian movement experience. A common driveway easement exists on the property, creating a shared internal circulation system. The curb cuts for the common driveway are off of La Mesa Boulevard and Wood Street. Providing vehicular access to more than one site through one, shared driveway, reduces the number of driveway cut-outs along both streets which enhances connectivity and promotes pedestrian activity. The existing parking lot is located at the rear of the building, and is proposed to remain in this location. Keeping the existing parking lot towards the rear of the building, reduces the visibility of the parking area from arterial streets and further contributes to a walkable and pedestrian oriented environment along La Mesa Boulevard.
To create a pedestrian activity area along the street edge, new non-residential and mixed-use buildings shall be built directly adjacent to the twelve-foot wide pedestrian realm at or near the same elevation of the sidewalk, with entrances to the commercial uses located directly from the sidewalk. However, setbacks up to an additional ten feet from the interior edge of the pedestrian realm edge may be permitted for non-residential and mixed-use buildings to allow for pedestrian entrances, outdoor dining areas, pedestrian arcades, or for building articulation. Currently, the existing building is sited at an angle to the sidewalk and street with a building setback of up to eight feet from the pedestrian realm. In order to maintain business operations for the existing tenant, the applicant is proposing to maintain the existing first floor of the building. The angling of the building provides for planting area, walkways to the building, and for building articulation.
Therefore, the structural orientation of the existing building meets the intent of the MU zone to provide access and pedestrian interest. Further, the MU development standards require that for visual interest at the pedestrian level, at least fifty percent of the total ground floor building frontage of any new or reconstructed building facing the public
Report to Mayor and Councilmembers

realm shall have with clear un-tinted glass windows and/or doors. In order to meet the MU design guidelines, the project provides floor to ceiling glass door and windows to approximately half of the existing building’s first floor frontage on the west elevation, not including the proposed staircase enclosure that is located along the building frontage.
The addition of the building’s first floor entrance on the street, glass windows and doors on the west elevation, and the metal awning above the entry door create a sense of entry for the building, and elevate the pedestrian experience along the street frontage while maintaining the existing siting of the building. Additionally, the open breezeways and rooftop dining area provide for additional pedestrian interest to the building. By improving the pedestrian realm, and situating the entrance of the commercial building along La Mesa Boulevard, the project appears to meet the vision of the Mixed-Use Overlay zone to activate the street and provide pedestrian orientation to the currently auto-oriented character of this portion of La Mesa Boulevard.
Site Design
The project includes an addition to an existing building, a redesign of an existing parking lot, and the demolition of an existing single-family residence for a new parking lot. The existing lots are relatively flat, and therefore, no grading is proposed for the project. The development meets underlying development standards, including setbacks and building height.
The building addition is an example of infill development that provides improvements that modernize and enhance an existing site. With the improvements of the pedestrian realm and the existing siting of the property with the building oriented towards La Mesa Boulevard and the parking located toward the rear, a safe and pedestrian oriented environment is created along La Mesa Boulevard. To continue to provide sufficient, safe, and minimal interference with on and offsite walkways and crossing, existing curb openings on the property addressed 8923 La Mesa Boulevard remain unchanged and only minor modifications are proposed to internal site circulation. The existing parking lot is proposed to be modified to meet current parking lot and parking lot landscaping requirements. To provide connectivity between the proposed parking lots on 8923 La Mesa Boulevard and 5264 Wood Street, the applicant is required to provide sidewalk, curb, and gutter along the street frontage of 5252 Wood Street.
Two of the three lots are located in the Scenic Preservation Overlay zone. Within the Scenic Preservation Overlay zone, natural topography, vegetation, and scenic features of sites are to be retained insofar as feasible and incorporated into each proposed development with minimal grading. The Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone also stipulates that a landscape plan be provided with new development, and requires that all specimen size trees (24-inch box or larger) must be replaced with healthy trees of specimen size.
There are eight existing trees on the property addressed 8923 La Mesa Boulevard and
Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: May 14, 2024
Page: 8 of 9
three existing trees on the property addressed 5264 Wood Street. All existing trees are specimen size trees, and are proposed to be removed and replaced. A total of nine Gold Medallion and Western Redbud trees are proposed on the property addressed 8923 La Mesa Boulevard and a total of five Gold Medallion and Western Redbud trees are proposed on the property addressed 5264 Wood Street as part of the Landscape Plan.
These trees are proposed together with accent plants and shrubs, including French Lavender, Sweetbay Laurel, Cape Honeysucle, Furcraea, and Birds of Paradise for ornamental landscaping areas in the parking lot and planting areas around the building.
Plants have been selected for drought tolerance, and are consistent across the two properties. The planting areas are also meant to act as screening to address privacy between the adjacent single-family residential house addressed 5252 Wood Street. A decorative six-foot black wrought iron fence is also proposed for privacy screening. Other site features downward facing site lighting and a trash enclosure in the parking area. The proposed covered trash enclosure has metal gates and stucco finish to match the building.
The project improves a commercial site in need of revitalization and does so in a manner that appears to be consistent with the Urban Design Program and the MU zone. The use of the varied building surface planes and texture help make the building proportional to human scale, and further activates the pedestrian experience.
Design Review Board Recommendations
The Design Review Board concluded that the project’s design meets the expected standards of the design guidelines with the revision of the following items:
1. The applicant shall provide clear, uncolored glass on the railings.
2. The applicant shall use a dark anodized bronze matte metal for the proposed metal building material.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council ratify the Design Review Board’s approval of Project 2022-0898.

I am familiar with the requirements for landscape and
irrigation plans contained in the City of La Mesa Water Efficient Landscape Regulations. I have prepared
this plan in compliance with those regulations. I
certify that the plan implements those regulations
to provide efficient use of water.
ELEVATION
SECTION A-A PLAN
NOTES:
The landscape plan is designed to achieve architectural and environmental enhancement in the followingareas: a. Screening of parking, storage areas, and unsightly objects such as public utilities and
substations. b. Creating buffer zones between
residential and commercial. c. Erosion control. d. Wind and noise barriers. e. Streetscape enhancement. f.
Improving the relationship of site to structure through the use of shade, screening, accent, and foundation
plantings. Plant materials were selected for their ability to withstand drought conditions. Plant materials were
selected with low water requirements. Plants withsimilar water requirements are grouped together on the same irrigation system. All areas provided with a
mixture of groundcover, shrubs, and trees. Trees are aminimum 15 gallon containers and shrubs in 5 gallon containers.

I am familiar with the requirements for landscape and
irrigation plans contained in the City of La Mesa Water Efficient Landscape Regulations. I have prepared
this plan in compliance with those regulations. I
certify that the plan implements those regulations
to provide efficient use of water.
ELEVATION
SECTION A-A PLAN
NOTES:
The landscape plan is designed to achieve architectural and environmental enhancement in the followingareas: a. Screening of parking, storage areas, and unsightly objects such as public utilities and
substations. b. Creating buffer zones between
residential and commercial. c. Erosion control. d. Wind and noise barriers. e. Streetscape enhancement. f.
Improving the relationship of site to structure through the use of shade, screening, accent, and foundation
plantings. Plant materials were selected for their ability to withstand drought conditions. Plant materials were
selected with low water requirements. Plants withsimilar water requirements are grouped together on the same irrigation system. All areas provided with a
mixture of groundcover, shrubs, and trees. Trees are aminimum 15 gallon containers and shrubs in 5 gallon containers.

BACKGROUND:
A commercial retail center has occupied a 13.4-acre site along the south side of I-8, east of Jackson Drive, since the 1960s. The only remaining original building is currently a Sherwin-Williams paint store near the southwest corner of the property. Buildings dating to the 1990s occupied by Hobby Lobby and Walmart Neighborhood Market and a 2014 building occupied by Ross Dress for Less all replaced earlier buildings in roughly the same locations. A drive-thru credit union situated near Grossmont Boulevard was completed in 2015. Various parking lot improvements and re-landscaping have accompanied each revitalization campaign. Towards the west end of the Center is an approximately 38,000-square-foot retail building that dates to the 1970s. It has been unoccupied since the departure of the prior tenant, Toys-R-Us, six years ago.
The shopping center, commonly known as the Grossmont Retail Center (Center) is served by four curb openings on Grossmont Boulevard and two on Jackson Drive. A treelined embankment, partially improved with a retaining wall, separates the site from Jackson Drive below. Surrounding development includes Grossmont Shopping Center on the opposite side of I-8 to the north, a smaller retail center to the west, single-family residential and small-scale commercial service uses to the south, and a regional car dealership to the east. The Assessor Parcel Map sheet is provided as Attachment B, site photos are provided as Attachment C, and a vicinity map is shown below.
A three-sided pylon sign marks the
entrance to the property at the signalized
intersection of Grossmont Boulevard and
Jackson Drive. A second pylon sign at
the rear of the site faces I-8. Signage
within the Center is subject to a
comprehensive sign program that was
most recently updated by the Planning
Commission in 2016.
Grossmont Boulevard in the vicinity of
the project site is classified as a major
collector street in the Circulation
Element. Jackson Drive is classified as
an arterial street and is a major
north/south corridor through the City.
Existing improvements along both street
frontages include sidewalk, curb and
gutter, turn pockets at vehicle entrances,

and Class 2 bike lanes. The project site is served by bus route 852 located at La Mesa Boulevard 0.15 miles to the east.
Design Review by the City’s Design Review Board (DRB) is required for new development in the C-D (General Commercial/Urban Design Overlay) zone to ensure consistency with the Urban Design Program. The Urban Design Program identifies the project location as one of nine major commercial nodes and includes design guidelines specific to those areas. On March 11, 2024, the DRB reviewed the application in consideration of the City’s Urban Design Program and unanimously approved the project, with conditions. The Design Review Board Certification of Action provided as Attachment A.
Project entitlement also includes site development plan review. The site development plan was approved by Community Development Director’s Notice of Decision on April 17, 2024, with conditions (Attachment D). No appeals were filed.
DISCUSSION:
The property owner proposes to replace the former Toys-R-Us building in the western portion of the site with a two-tenant retail shell building of 32,550 square feet, and a singletenant retail shell of 2,880 square feet, as shown on the project plans (Attachment E).
The new buildings are proposed to retain the same south-facing orientation as the former building and align with the other building storefronts across the site. Design elements considered by the Design Review Board are discussed below.
Circulation
To continue to provide sufficient, safe, and minimal interference with on and offsite walkways and crossing, existing curb openings will remain unchanged and only minor modifications will be made to internal site circulation. Existing angled parking in front of the new buildings will be reconfigured to north/south drive aisles and right-angle alignment to match the rest of the site for a more consistent circulation pattern. New parking lot landscaping is also proposed that will provide clear separation of pedestrian pathways and vehicular circulation. Overall the project provides for improved circulation.
Building Location and Orientation
While it is generally preferred that on larger sites a substantial portion of the building area be located at the street perimeter, the placement of existing buildings within this Center and a significant grade change from Jackson Drive favors continuation of the established site orientation. Operational activities are situated towards the rear, including the loading dock and trash enclosure, and angled away from the parking lot to minimize their view from customers. The proposed covered trash enclosure has metal gates and stucco finish to match the building.
Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: May 14, 2024
Page: 4 of 5
Landscaping
To provide shade canopy and to screen the parking area from public streets, the landscape plan includes 33 new and replacement 36-inch box carrotwood trees in the parking lot to match the existing landscape palette, eight new 36-inch box Eldarica Pines in the west portion of the site, and four 36-inch box Podocarpus Gracilior hedge trees at the northwest corner of the building. Water efficient plantings include Natal Plum, Indian Hawthorn, Texas Privet, Deer Grass, and Cape Rush. Existing mature landscaping in adjacent right-of-way areas and Torrey Pines in the western portion of the site will remain undisturbed.
Lighting
The project’s exterior lighting matches existing decorative fixtures in the Center. Parking lot light fixtures are down-directed and designed to minimize glare.
Unified Design Theme
The project expresses the design theme of the Center through the use of consistent building materials, colors, and textures, including stucco finish, a neutral color palette, and prominent storefront entrances flanked by pilaster-type elements in a contrasting neutral tone. Cornices are present along rooflines. Differentiated accent colors provide individual character and visual interest. The proposed buildings continue the use of pilasters, canopies, and cornice treatments. Colors include a white tone for the field color, tan primary accents, and red secondary accents depicted on a materials board provided by the applicant. Proposed roof-mounted mechanical equipment is screened behind parapet walls that are fully integrated into the building design. The proposed color scheme and styling is compatible with the other buildings in the Center.
Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: May 14, 2024
Page: 5 of 5
Signage
No new freestanding signs are proposed. The adopted sign program for the Center allows individual face illuminated channel letter wall signs on all exterior elevations, sized relative to the tenant lease areas. The applicant is not proposing to amend the Comprehensive Sign Program at this time.
Architectural Interest
The proposed building exteriors provide sufficient variety of surface planes, forms and textures. Staggered footprints, horizontal and vertical offsets, and varying roof projections have all been applied to achieve visual interest, particularly on the front elevation. While the project does provide a low bulkhead around the building in a contrasting color, the sides and rear are otherwise unadorned. The DRB noted that the west side and rear building elevations would benefit from enhancement to provide a level of treatment comparable to the front elevation and requested additional trees along the west building elevation and variation in color on the north building elevation as conditions of approval.
The DRB determined that the project fully achieves the design and architectural quality and character expressed by the guidelines in the Urban Design Overlay Zone.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council ratify the Design Review Board’s approval of Project 2023-2466.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION DESIGNATING AUTHORIZING AGENTS
WITH THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNORS OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR THE PURPOSE OF
OBTAINING STATE DISASTER RELIEF FOR ANY
OPEN AND FUTURE DISASTERS OR GRANTS
DECLARED FOR UP TO THREE YEARS
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUMMARY:
Issues:
Should the City of La Mesa adopt a resolution designating authorizing agents with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services for the purpose of obtaining state disaster relief for any open and future disasters or grants declared for up to three years?
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution designating the City Manager, Director of Finance, and Director of Public Works as authorized agents with Cal OES for a period of three years.
Fiscal Impact:
None
City’s Strategic Goals:
Invest in infrastructure to serve the needs of the community.
Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: May 14, 2024
Page: 2 of 3
Ensure a strong financial outlook through careful planning, sustainable service levels, and fiscal sustainability.
BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 2024, severe storms brought historic levels of rainfall causing widespread flooding and damage throughout the City of La Mesa. On January 23rd, Governor Newsom issued a State of Emergency proclamation for the storms beginning January 21st. This proclamation allows the City of La Mesa to access state resources and recover up to 75% of eligible costs incurred due to storm damage, debris removal, emergency protective measures, and infrastructure repairs.
DISCUSSION:
Given the catastrophic damage caused by the January storms, it is critical that the City take all necessary steps to access available state disaster relief funds. Designating authorized agents is a key requirement imposed by Cal OES. By approving this resolution, the City Council will grant the City Manager, Director of Finance, and Director of Public Works the authority to interface directly with Cal OES staff, submit required documentation, and otherwise represent the City's interests throughout the reimbursement process for a three-year period. This will ensure the City can efficiently navigate the process without needing to return to Council for duplicative authorizations.
Should the City unfortunately experience any future declared disaster events over the next three years, this resolution will enable the designated agents to rapidly engage Cal OES without delay.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt this resolution granting authority to the City Manager, Director of Finance and the Director of Public Works to seek reimbursement from the State for the substantial costs already incurred and expected to incur due to the January storms, as well as be prepared for any future declared disasters over the next three years.

Cal OES Form 130 Instructions
A Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies is required of all Applicants to be eligible to receive funding. A new resolution must be submitted if a previously submitted resolution is older than three (3) years from the last date of approval, is invalid, or has not been submitted.
When completing the Cal OES Form 130, Applicants should fill in the blanks on pages 1 and 2. The blanks are to be filled in as follows:
Resolution Section:
Governing Body: This is the group responsible for appointing and approving the Authorized Agents.
Examples include: Board of Directors, City Council, Board of Supervisors, Board of Education, etc.
Name of Applicant: The public entity established under the laws of the State of California.
Examples include: School District, Office of Education, City, County or Non-profit agency that has applied for the grant, such as: City of San Diego, Sacramento County, Burbank Unified School District, Napa County Office of Education, University Southern California.
Authorized Agent: These are the individuals that are authorized by the Governing Body to engage with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services regarding grants for which they have applied.
There are two ways of completing this section:
1. Titles Only: The titles of the Authorized Agents should be entered here, not their names. This allows the document to remain valid if an Authorized Agent leaves the position and is replaced by another individual. If “Titles Only” is the chosen method, this document must be accompanied by either a cover letter naming the Authorized Agents by name and title, or the Cal OES AA Names document. The supporting document can be completed by any authorized person within the Agency (e.g., administrative assistant, the Authorized Agent, secretary to the Director). It does not require the Governing Body’s signature.
2. Names and Titles: If the Governing Body so chooses, the names and titles of the Authorized Agents would be listed. A new Cal OES Form 130 will be required if any of the Authorized Agents are replaced, leave the position listed on the document, or their title changes.

Checking Universal or Disaster-Specific Box: A Universal resolution is effective for all past disasters and for those declared up to three (3) years following the date of approval. Upon expiration it is no longer effective for new disasters, but it remains in effect for disasters declared prior to expiration. It remains effective until the disaster goes through closeout unless it is superseded by a newer resolution.
Governing Body Representative: These are the names and titles of the approving Board Members.
Examples include: Chairman of the Board, Director, Superintendent, etc. The names and titles cannot be one of the designated Authorized Agents. A minimum of three (3) approving board members must be listed. If less than three are present, meeting minutes must be attached in order to verify a quorum was met.
Certification Section:
Name and Title: This is the individual in attendance who recorded the creation and approval of this resolution.
Examples include: City Clerk, Secretary to the Board of Directors, County Clerk, etc. This person cannot be one of the designated Authorized Agents or Approving Board Member. If a person holds two positions (such as City Manager and Secretary to the Board) and the City Manager is to be listed as an Authorized Agent, then that person could sign the document as Secretary to the Board (not City Manager) to eliminate “Self-Certification.”

Climate Action Plan Reduction Strategy:
T-1 Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure – Encourage active transportation options through planning and development of safe active transportation infrastructure and facilities in the City.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issued a call for applications for Active Transportation Program (ATP) grants for Fiscal Years 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24, and 2024/25. In September 2020, the City submitted an ATP grant application for the La Mesa Bike and Sidewalk Connections Project (project) and in April 2021 the City was notified that the Project was awarded $3,962,000 in grant funds. The plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E) portion of this grant award is $375,000 with the City to provide a minimum of 20% of local matching funds.
DISCUSSION:
The goal of the La Mesa Bike and Sidewalk Connections project is to complete the gaps in the bike and pedestrian circulation networks along collector and arterial streets within the City of La Mesa to improve safety and access to transit, schools, parks, healthcare, and other essential services.
The scope of the current PS&E phase of the project is to develop a construction-ready plan set and specifications package, and the engineer’s estimate for seventeen street segments along: Jackson Drive, Grossmont Center Drive, Severin Drive, Bancroft Drive, Murray Drive, Water Street, Center Drive, Alvarado Road, Lake Murray Boulevard, Baltimore Drive, Parks Avenue, Riviera Drive, Panorama Drive, and Mariposa Street.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) for transportation design services was prepared and sent to six of the City’s preselected consultants on February 22, 2024. Three proposals were received. The proposals were ranked based on criteria provided in the RFP and all three consultants were interviewed by City staff. After the interviews, engineering staff was able to come to an agreement on project scope and budget with Rick Engineering Company.
Rick Engineering Company is a local consulting firm, has been in business for more than 65 years, and specializes in roadway and site design, including the University Median Project. Following negotiations with staff, it is recommended that a professional services agreement be awarded to Rick Engineering Company in the amount of $420,220.

Re: Proposal for Dry Weather MS4 Outfall Monitoring for the 2023-2024 Monitoring Year
Dear Mr. Kuhn:
D-MAX Engineering, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal to assist the City of La Mesa (City) storm water program with monitoring tasks required by San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. R9-2013-0001 as amended by Order Nos. R9-2015-0001 and R9- 2015-0100 (Municipal Permit) for the 2023-2024 monitoring year.
Scope of Services
The scope of services for major tasks to be completed are described below.
I. Dry Weather Major MS4 Outfall Discharge Monitoring and Reporting The Municipal Permit requires the City to perform Dry Weather Major MS4 Outfall Discharge Monitoring each monitoring year (October 1 through September 30). The City is required to visit at least 80 percent of its major MS4 outfalls within each Watershed Management Area (WMA) twice per monitoring year. The City has 23 major MS4 outfalls (19 within the San Diego River WMA and 4 within the San Diego Bay WMA), which equates to a total of 40 required site visits (32 in San Diego River and 8 in San Diego Bay).
The field work will include performing flow measurement, collecting visual observations, conducting trash assessments, and performing discharge source investigations. In cases where outfalls are inaccessible, upstream proxy sites are used a replacements. Data will be recorded such that relevant parameters can be reported in the regional standard format for delivery to the watershed groups.
A summary report of the completed monitoring will be provided to the City upon completion of the monitoring program, which will include an updated inventory of monitoring sites, results in tabular form, and recommendations based on monitoring results. The summary report will also include a map of monitoring locations and monitoring site photos as attachments. A spreadsheet of relevant data in regional data sharing format will be provided along with the report.
II. Non-Storm Water Persistent Flow Sampling
In accordance with Section D.2.b. of the Municipal Permit, the City is required to perform nonstorm water persistent flow MS4 outfall discharge monitoring. In each WMA, the “highest priority” persistently flowing (HPPF) outfalls are selected for lab sampling. Based on results from last year’s monitoring program, the numbers of highest priority outfalls in each watershed are as follows:
• San Diego River (Alvarado): 5
Mr. Joe Kuhn
April 11, 2024
5440 Morehouse Dive Suite 4500 San Diego, CA 92121 (858) 352-6816 Fax (858)352-6817 • San Diego Bay (University): 2
Note that although the San Diego Bay WMA has two persistently flowing sites, in recent years the flow rate at one of the sites has been too small to sample and costs have only scoped to sample one site. However, since the 2023-2024 monitoring year has been very wet, there is a higher likelihood of having to sample both sites and therefore costs have been allocated accordingly.
As required by the Municipal Permit, we will visit each of the highest priority persistently flowing outfalls to collect samples twice during the monitoring year. When measurable flowing water is observed,
• Field tests will be completed for pH, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen using calibrated field meters.
• Grab samples will also be collected and submitted to certified laboratories for the constituents identified in the Storm Drain Outfall Monitoring Plan of the San Diego River WMA WQIP and in the MS4 Outfall Monitoring Program Monitoring Plan of the San Diego Bay WMA WQIP, depending on which WMA the outfall is located in.
All sampling and analyses will be conducted in accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 136. Lab reports will be delivered from our lab in CEDEN compatible format, as requested by the WQIP groups.
As directed by the San Diego River WMA and the San Diego Bay WMA monitoring plans, a field duplicate and a field blank will be submitted for the monitoring program. For cost effectiveness, these will be completed as follows:
• 1 duplicate for San Diego Bay.
• 1 duplicate for San Diego River, but it will only include the tests that were not already run as part of the San Diego Bay duplicate.
• 1 blank covering all analytes that are required in either of the two watersheds.
In addition, as required by the WQIPs, we will also collect one sample for total hardness, total organic carbon, and total dissolved carbon from the receiving water upstream of the point where any flow from the outfall converges with the receiving water. During each round of sampling a maximum of seven receiving water samples will be collected. Data from these samples will be incorporated into compliance calculations during reporting.
The monitoring summary report will summarize the results of the analyses, including a comparison of results to the applicable NALs as provided in the Municipal Permit. We will also discuss potential sources of NAL exceedances and recommendations for further investigation if applicable.
III. Discharge Source Investigations
Source investigations will be required in order to determine a source of any non-storm water discharges observed at each major outfall. Investigations will be conducted in accordance with the County of San Diego Follow Up Investigation Procedures and will focus on identifying sources of flow, particularly in cases where observations (color, clarity, odor, floatables, etc.) indicate a high possibility of an illegal discharge occurring. Any illegal discharges identified will be directly reported to the City via shared tracking spreadsheet, and investigation results will be summarized and included in the monitoring report.

5440 Morehouse Dive Suite 4500 San Diego, CA 92121 (858) 352-6816 Fax (858)352-6817 IV. As-Needed Services
We are also available to conduct additional services to help the City comply with storm water regulations on an as-needed basis. It is anticipated that most funds will be spent assisting the City with regional Time Schedule Order Number R9-2024-0010 compliance tasks, including monitoring plan creation, annual reporting coordination, and monitoring activities. Other asneeded services may also include, but are not limited to, additional discharge source investigations, conducting inspections at facilities or areas identified as potential sources of NAL exceedances, additional monitoring, data analysis, reporting, responding to regulatory requests or orders, and literature review.
Cost Estimate
Our proposed costs to complete the scope of services described above are as follows:
Service Cost
1. Dry Weather MS4 Outfall Monitoring and Reporting $13,179
2. Non-Storm Water Persistent Flow Sampling (time and
materials, not to exceed) $43,142
3. Discharge Source Investigations (time and materials, not to exceed) $4,000
4. As-needed Tasks (time and materials, not to exceed) $15,000 Total $75,321
Costs for Task 1 are based on lump sum service, and the costs for Tasks 2 through 4 are based on time and materials. Time and materials services will be completed in accordance with our attached fee schedule.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to discuss this proposal in more detail. We look forward to working with you on this project.

CITYWIDE STRATEGIC PLAN 2023 - 2028
A well-designed strategic plan is like a reliable roadmap that points out a destination and provides a clear and concise path to reach it. The strategic plan establishes priority areas of focus for the City over the next five years, highlights specific strategies that will be executed to achieve desired outcomes, and establishes a framework to keep the public updated on the City's progress.
Introduction
A Message from the Mayor and City Council

This strategic plan articulates the City Council's vision, mission and priorities to balance the needs of the community to retain a safe and healthy environment, preserve our small-town charm and provide inclusive access to high-quality public services. Our City Council, along with our dedicated City staff, is committed to carrying out these strategies over the next five years to achieve our vision of a thriving community where everyone feels at home.

The Strategic Plan is a living document, featuring a framework that balances the needs of the community and the City’s resource capacity.
A citywide Strategic Plan is fundamental to successful work planning. It is a policy document that reflects the priorities of the City Council. It informs budgeting and annual staff work plans. After adoption, staff integrates the policy focus areas into its operations and workplans. City staff also reports back regularly to City Council on progress.
• The vision sets the focus for the future. It is an aspirational statement of where the organization wants to be.
• The City’s mission is a statement of purpose of the organization. It fundamentally describes what that organization stands for and what it will do.
• Organizational values provide the basis for how the organization and its members will work to achieve the vision and drive how identified goals will be implemented. • Goal areas will guide the direction and focus of the organization for the next several years. They are closely aligned with the vision and state the desired outcomes to be achieved. They help City leaders decide which of the many worthy projects should be done and when, within available resources. • Goal statements elaborate what is to be achieved in each goal area. • Strategies express how the City plans to accomplish its goals. They articulate the means to achieve desired outcomes for each strategic focus area. Strategies generally include broad areas to pursue, rather than individual projects.
• A workplan is the blueprint for carrying out the strategic plan. It contains the detailed steps that must be taken to assure that the goals and strategies are achieved. Workplans provide a framework for determining specific timelines, assignments, and resource allocations. They are designed to be a management tool to help the organization assure that goals are attained and are well suited to periodic check-in about progress, changes or challenges.
