REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: August 12, 2025
SUBJECT: Treasurer’s Report for the Quarter Ending
June 30, 2025
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Finance Department – City Treasurer

SUMMARY
PORTFOLIO VALUE:

The City’s portfolio ended the quarter with a market value of $96,434,487. This represents a discount of $676,474 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 $50,192,961 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 April 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025, total $252,164, which represents an annualized rate of 2.15%. Investment earnings from LAIF for the current quarter total $469,561, which represents an annualized rate of 3.74%. Combined, investment earnings were $721,725, representing a total annualized rate of return of 2.97% 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, nor be representative of future quarterly performance, due to differing payment schedules and variable interest rates.

Additionally, as investments mature, they can be reinvested at then-current rates or redeemed to provide additional operating cash. The invested portfolio of government agency bonds, corporate securities, and certificates of deposit has an average maturity of 1 year and 9 months with $11,743,000 maturing within one year for added liquidity.

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 2024-2025.

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.

VACANCY ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION
On July 8, 2025, the City Council interviewed applicants seeking appointment or reappointment to the City’s various boards and commissions. Appointments and reappointments were made at the July 22, 2025, City Council meeting. However, due to the limited number of vacancies, not all interested applicants were selected.

Pursuant to Government Code §54974, when an unscheduled vacancy occurs on a board, commission, or committee appointed by the legislative body, a final appointment may not be made until at least 10 working days after a notice of the vacancy has been posted in the City Clerk’s Office.

A Notice of Unscheduled Vacancy for the Planning Commission was posted to the City’s website on Monday, July 21. As a result, the City Council could not fill the vacancy at the July 22 meeting. The appointment to fill this unscheduled vacancy will be considered at the August 12, 2025, City Council meeting.

Planning Commission members are appointed by the City Council. During the meeting, nomination forms will be distributed to the Mayor and Councilmembers. Each member will indicate their nomination on the form, which will be collected and read aloud by the City Clerk. The process will continue until a nominee receives a majority vote.

Attached is a summary of the eligibility requirements, number of vacancies, and names of the applicants seeking appointment.

Staff recommends the City Council make the appointment to fill the unscheduled vacancy and adopt the attached resolution confirming the appointment.

ISSUING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
SUMMARY:

Issue:

Should the City Council approve a Buy/Sell Agreement to convey a 6,970 square foot remnant parcel located at 8213 University Ave (the “Parcel”) to Carlton Sell, LLC?
Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Buy/Sell Agreement, in substantial form, subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney; and, authorize the City Manager to execute the same on behalf of the City Council.

Fiscal Impact:

If approved, proceeds from the sale in the amount of $190,000 will be deposited in the General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

In 2024, the City received a letter from Carlton Sell, LLC (Carlton Sell) requesting to purchase a City owned 6,970 square foot remnant parcel located at 8213 University Ave (Parcel). Carlton Sell owns the adjacent property and is interested in redeveloping the southeast corner of University Avenue and Spring Street. Carlton Sell currently leases the Parcel from the City, which is used for parking for their commercial tenant (automotive use).

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 12, 205
Page: 2 of 2
At the March 11, 2025, Closed Session meeting, the City Council authorized the City Manager to begin negotiations for the sale of the Parcel, substantiated by an appraisal at the prospective buyer’s expense. An appraisal by a qualified consultant determined the market value of the Parcel to be $190,000. At the May 27, 2025, Closed Session meeting, the City Council directed the City Manager to bring back an appropriate Buy/Sell Agreement associated with the Parcel.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Buy/Sell Agreement, in substantial form, subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney; and, authorize the City Manager to execute the same on behalf of the Council. The draft Buy/Sell Agreement is attached as Attachment “A”.

24. Disclosures Regarding the Nature of a Real Estate Agency RelaƟonship.

24.1 The ParƟes and Brokers agree that their relaƟonship(s) shall be governed by the principles set forth in the applicable secƟons of the California Civil Code, as summarized in paragraph 24.2.

24.2 When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transacƟon, a Buyer or Seller should from the outset understand what type of agency relaƟonship or representaƟon it has with the agent or agentsin the transacƟon. Buyer and Seller acknowledge being advised by the Brokersin this transacƟon, as follows:
(a) Seller's Agent. A Seller's agent under a lisƟng agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or subagent hasthe following affirmaƟve obligaƟons: (1) To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duƟes. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecƟng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent aƩenƟon and observaƟon of, the ParƟes. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidenƟal informaƟon obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmaƟve duƟes set forth above.
(b) Buyer's Agent. A selling agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situaƟons, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensaƟon for services rendered, either in full orin part from the Seller. An agent acƟng only for a Buyer has the following affirmaƟve obligaƟons. (1) To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duƟes. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecƟng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent aƩenƟon and observaƟon of, the ParƟes. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidenƟal informaƟon obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmaƟve duƟes set forth above.
(c) Agent RepresenƟng Both Seller and Buyer. A real estate agent, either acƟng directly or through one or more associate licensees, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transacƟon, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. (1) In a dual agency situaƟon, the agent has the following affirmaƟve obligaƟons to both the Seller and the Buyer: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Seller or the Buyer. b. Other duƟes to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respecƟve secƟons (a) or (b) of this paragraph 24.2. (2) In represenƟng both Seller and Buyer, the agent may not, without the express permission of the respecƟve Party, disclose to the other Party confidenƟal informaƟon, including, but not limited to, facts relaƟng to either Buyer's or Seller's financial posiƟon, moƟvaƟons, bargaining posiƟon, or other personal informaƟon that may impact price, including Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the lisƟng price or Buyer's willingnessto pay a price greater than the price offered. (3) The above duƟes of the agent in a real estate transacƟon do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Buyer and Seller should carefully read all

agreementsto assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transacƟon. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. Buyer hasthe duty to exercise reasonable care to protect Buyer, including asto those facts about the Property which are known to Buyer or within Buyer's diligent aƩenƟon and observaƟon. Both Seller and Buyer should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transacƟon can be complex and subject to change. (d) Further Disclosures. Throughout this transacƟon Buyer and Seller may receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents assisƟng in the transacƟon. Buyer and Seller should each read its contents each Ɵme it is presented, considering the relaƟonship between them and the real estate agent in thistransacƟon and that disclosure. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge receipt of a disclosure of the possibility of mulƟple representaƟon by the Broker represenƟng that principal. This disclosure may be part of a lisƟng agreement, buyer representaƟon agreement or separate document. Buyer understands that Broker represenƟng Buyer may also represent other potenƟal buyers, who may consider, make offers on or ulƟmately acquire the Property. Seller understands that Broker represenƟng Seller may also represent other sellers with compeƟng properƟes that may be of interest to this Buyer. Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The ParƟes agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relaƟng to thistransacƟon may be brought against Broker more than one year aŌer the Date of Agreement and that the liability (including court costs and aƩorneys' fees), of any Broker with respect to any breach of duty, error or omission relaƟng to this Agreementshall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing limitaƟon on each Broker'sliability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.

24.3 ConfidenƟal InformaƟon. Buyer and Seller agree to idenƟfy to Brokers as "ConfidenƟal" any communicaƟon or informaƟon given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidenƟal.

25. ConstrucƟon of Agreement. In construing this Agreement, all headings and Ɵtles are for the convenience of the ParƟes only and shall not be considered a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

SUBJECT: QUARTERLY PERMIT AND DEVELOPMENT UPDATE (APRIL 2025 – JUNE 2025)
The Quarterly Permit and Development Update shows how the City continues to meet its mission of providing high-quality public services through improvements to permit processes and turnaround times. This update covers permit activity—including applications and issued permits, as well as process improvements made between April and June 2025.

As part of ongoing efforts to educate, inform, and streamline the development process for applicants, the Community Development Department continues to regularly update the department’s webpage, including the Interactive Development Project Map. This map is updated monthly to provide key information about new projects and their status in the planning process. In addition, the MaintStar permitting map remains a valuable resource for those interested in viewing active or completed projects.

As shown in Table 1, development and construction activity increased during the second quarter of 2025 with 466 applications received and 432 permits issued. In the tables below, the 2nd Quarter covers April through June of 2025, and the 1st Quarter covers January through March of 2025.

Table 1 - Total Applications and Permits
Year Quarter Applications Issued Permits
2025 2nd Quarter 466 432
2025
1st Quarter 397 415

A summary of applications and issued permits since the first quarter of 2024 has been provided in Attachment A for comparative purposes.

Review and Processing Times
Community Development continues to see success with the MaintStar Permitting Portal along with the City’s instant solar permitting platform Symbium. Staff utilizes the MaintStar portal’s permit tracking system to track review timeframes of permit submittals. This system allows staff to track submittal dates, the number of reviews, and the length of each review.

Review and processing times for various projects continue to improve. Table 2 shows the average review and processing times for additions/alterations and miscellaneous projects in both the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2025. Since the 1st quarter, processing times for these permits have improved, while review times have either remained consistent or also shown improvement.

Miscellaneous
2nd Quarter - 2025 4 days 7 days
1st Quarter - 2025 4 days 9 days
Solar
The use of instant solar permitting remains consistent with previous quarters. Out of 72 solar permits issued in the 2nd quarter, 47 permits were issued instantly via the Symbium platform. We continue to encourage the use of the instant permitting platform through the instant permitting portal from the solar permit webpage. Staff anticipates a continuous increase in Symbium submittals moving into the third quarter of 2025.

Processing and review times for standard (non-Symbium) solar submittals remained fairly consistent with the first quarter, showing only a one-day difference between the two quarters.

Accessory Dwelling Units
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit processing times have improved. As shown in Table 4, the average time from application to approval has decreased by 29%, from 64 days to 45 days. This improvement is the result of several ongoing efforts, including enhanced staff knowledge of state ADU laws, updates to application handouts, and increased use of the ADU guidebook by applicants. Additional process improvements are discussed below.

First Review
Average Processing Time
(Application to Approval)
2025 2nd Quarter 20 days 45 days
2025 1st Quarter 18 days 64 days
As reported in the first quarter update, the City implemented a Pre-approved ADU Plans program. The Pre-Approved Plans program provides five pre-approved ADU plans, available to the public via City’s ADU webpage. Staff will continue to work to develop and improve this program, which will further expedite the ADU application and permit issuance process.

Community Development continues to seek ways to improve customer service. As part of this effort, the department created a MaintStar portal survey that went live in January 2024. A link to the survey is provided to all applicants at the time of permit issuance but is also available directly from the portal. To date, the department has received 24 surveys, 21 of which have provided positive feedback towards both the permit portal and City staff. Three of the surveys received reported issues with using the system; however, no concerns were raised about in-person or online customer service. The team has been able to utilize survey feedback to implement system modifications to make the permitting process even easier and more streamlined for applicants. Staff will continue to explore ways to promote and incentivize survey participation in order to gather more feedback that can help guide further improvements.

1. Attachment A – Applications and Issued Permits By Permit Type

Attachment A – Applications and Issued Permits by Permit Type As shown in the tables above, both the number of applications and issued permits increased in the second quarter of 2025, with applications rising by 17% and permits by 4%. This rise in applications from the first to the second quarter was expected, based on similar trends observed in 2024. While issued permits fluctuate more between quarters, they consistently range between 400 and 450. Overall, the data indicates a seasonal decline toward the end of the year, with steady growth leading up to mid-year. Staff anticipates that this trend in both applications and permits will carry into the third quarter of 2025, as well.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 12, 2025
Page: 2 of 5
City’s Strategic Goals:
 Promote a high quality of life that current and future generations can afford to call home.

Environmental Review:

This project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15303.

Climate Action Plan Reduction Strategy:
 U-1: Increase Urban Forest Canopy Cover
BACKGROUND:

The 0.39 project site is comprised of two lots located at 8303 Parkway Drive, bounded by Jackson Drive to the west, Parkway Drive to the north, and Fletcher Parkway to the south as seen on the vicinity map. The lot is triangular and resembles the shape of a tear drop.

The property is currently developed with a vacant commercial building and associated parking lot. A City of San Diego water main pipeline runs underneath the project site, and a City of San Diego no-build easement is located on the entirety of the southern property for the existing water main pipeline. The City of San Diego has reviewed the project and issued a letter approving the conceptual design. The applicant is also required to enter into an Encroachment Maintenance and Removal Agreement (“EMRA”) with the City of San Diego for any proposed work within the City of San Diego easement, following project approval by the City of La Mesa. An ERMA with the City of La Mesa will also be required for the installation and maintenance of all proposed landscaping within the City’s right-ofway.

Existing right-of-way improvements along Parkway Drive and Jackson Drive include sidewalks, curbs, gutters, streetlights, traffic signals, and two curb openings. Along Fletcher Parkway, improvements include curbs, gutters, streetlights, and a large, landscaped area. Photos of the project site are provided as Attachment B.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 12, 2025
Page: 3 of 5
Zoning for the project site is C-G-D (General Commercial/ Grossmont Specific Plan Overlay/ Urban Design Overlay) zone, and the General Plan planned land use designation is Regional Serving Commercial. General Commercial zoning is generally applied along major streets and in shopping centers and provides areas in which all types of retail businesses, offices, and services can be conducted. Surrounding development includes commercial uses and shopping centers to the north, southeast, and west. For reference, a Vicinity Map and Zoning Map have been included to provide context for the project location and applicable zoning designations.

The Grossmont Specific Plan states that all new projects within the Specific Plan area requires Site Development Plan review by the Planning Commission and Design Review through the DRB and City Council. The Grossmont Specific Plan and the City’s Urban Design Program prescribe urban design principles to new projects that are located within the subject overlay zones.

On May 12, 2025, the DRB reviewed the application and unanimously approved the project, with conditions (Attachment C). On June 23, 2025, a staff report and Notice of Decision for the lot consolidation was posted for public review. After five (5) calendar days, the Community Development Director considered the staff report and public comments received and approved the lot consolidation (Attachment D). On July 16, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed and adopted Resolution PC-2025-14 unanimously approving the project, subject to conditions of approval (Attachment E).

DISCUSSION:

The Applicant proposes to demolish existing on-site improvements to construct a onestory, 1,903 square foot drive-thru restaurant, with a new parking lot, paving, and pedestrian access as shown on the project plans provided as Attachment F. A color and materials board is included as Attachment G.

The Urban Design Program identifies the portion of Fletcher Parkway along the project site as one of four major circulation corridors in the City. The intersection adjacent to the project site is identified as a node—a key point in the city that draws attention and serves as a focal area for movement and activity. The purpose of the Urban Design Program is to provide clear guidelines that assist both the DRB and project applicants in achieving consistent, high-quality site and architectural design. These guidelines help ensure a minimum standard of design excellence.

Similarly, the Grossmont Specific Plan includes special urban design principles for projects within the Specific Plan area to support projects to exhibit superior design principles in both site and architectural design for this key commercial node in the City.

In alignment with the Urban Design Program and the Grossmont Specific Plan, the project supports these goals by:
 Positioning the building near the prominent intersection to emphasize its presence;  Locating parking areas away from the intersection to reduce visual impact;  Enhancing the right-of-way with landscaping that both screens views and improves the character of the streetscape. (Subject to an executed ERMA with the City of La Mesa); and
 Incorporating a variety of colors and materials, as well as varied rooflines and canopies on all building elevations to create visual interest and architectural richness.

The DRB considered the project and concluded that the project’s design meets the expected standards of the Urban Design Program and Grossmont Specific Plan design guidelines with the following conditions:

1. The Applicant shall install and maintain all landscaping as noted on plans stamped received by the City on April 1, 2025, and as outlined in the City of La Mesa Encroachment Removal Maintenance Agreement (“EMRA”).

2. The Applicant shall replace the Canary Island Pine trees adjacent to the street on Fletcher Parkway with Jacaranda trees subject to Public Works approval.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 12, 2025
Page: 5 of 5
For further analysis of the site design and architectural design considered by the DRB, the DRB staff report is provided as Attachment H.

The Planning Commission determined that the project complies with development standards of the C zone, including, but not limited to, setbacks, height, and parking. To address potential impacts from changes to internal circulation and a drive thru use at this location, the applicant submitted a queuing analysis. As part of the approval process, and in agreement with the applicant/owner, the Planning Commission included a condition in Resolution PC-2025-14 (Attachment E) which authorizes the City to require changes to the site’s internal circulation, at the sole expense of the owner/operator, if the City Engineer determines that on-site queuing is significantly impacting traffic flow or public safety.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council ratify the DRB approval of Project 2022-1599.

REPORT to the LA MESA DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
DATE: May 12, 2025
SUBJECT: PROJECT NUMBER 2022-1599 (CALI QUESO CORP) –
DESIGN REVIEW CONSIDERATION FOR A DRIVETHRU RESTAURANT AT 8303 PARKWAY DRIVE, APN 490-592-04-00 AND 490-592-02-00 IN THE C-G-D
(GENERAL COMMERCIAL/ GROSSMONT OVERLAY/

URBAN DESIGN OVERLAY) ZONE
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUMMARY:

Issue(s):

Does the proposed design meet the intent of the Urban Design Program policies and the Grossmont Specific Plan?
Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the Design Review Board approve the project, subject to City Council ratification (Attachment A).

BACKGROUND:

The 0.39 project site is comprised of two lots located at 8303 Parkway Drive, bounded by Jackson Drive to the west, Parkway Drive to the north, and Fletcher Parkway to the south as seen on the vicinity map. The lot is triangular and resembles the shape of a tear drop.

The property is currently developed with a vacant commercial building and associated parking lot. A City of San Diego water main pipeline runs underneath the project site, and a City of San Diego no-build easement is located on the entirety of the southern property for the existing water main pipeline. The City of San Diego has reviewed the project and provided a letter noting their approval of the conceptual design (Attachment B). In order to build within the easement, the City of San Diego will require that an Encroachment Maintenance Removal Agreement (EMRA) be executed upon project approval by the City of La Mesa. Existing right-of-way improvements along Parkway Drive and Jackson Drive include sidewalk, curb, gutter, streetlights, traffic stoplights, and two curb openings. RightPage 102 of 266 Report to Design Review Board Project No. 2022-1599 (CALI QUESO CORP) Date: May 12, 2025 Page: 2 of 7
of-way improvements along Fletcher Parkway include curb, gutter, streetlights, and a large, landscaped area. Photos of the project site are provided as Attachment C.

Zoning for the project site is C-G-D (General Commercial/ Grossmont Specific Plan Overlay/ Urban Design Overlay) zone, and the General Plan planned land use designation is Regional Serving Commercial. General Commercial zoning is generally applied along major streets and in shopping centers and provides areas in which all types of retail businesses, offices, and services can be conducted. Surrounding development includes commercial uses and shopping centers to the north, southeast, and west.

The Grossmont Specific Plan states that all new projects within the Specific Plan area requires Site Development Plan review by the Planning Commission and Design Review through the Design Review Board and City Council. The Grossmont Specific Plan and the City’s Urban Design Program prescribe urban design principles to new projects that are located within the subject overlay zones. Project entitlement consists of Site Development Plan review by the Planning Commission, Lot Consolidation review by the Director of Community Development, and Design Review by the Design Review Board, subject to City Council ratification.

DISCUSSION:

The property owner (Applicant) proposes to demolish existing on-site improvements to construct a one-story, 1,903 square foot (s.f.) drive-thru restaurant, with a new parking lot, paving, and pedestrian access as shown on the project plans provided as Attachment D. A color and materials board is included as Attachment E. It appears that the project

Report to Design Review Board Project No. 2022-1599 (CALI QUESO CORP) Date: May 12, 2025 Page: 3 of 7
meets underlying development standards of the C zone, including but not limited to setbacks, height, and parking. Additionally, the Applicant provided the City with written consent from the City of San Diego verifying that the proposed site design and improvements across their easements is permitted.

The intent of the Urban Design Program is to use the guidelines as an instrument to give direction and support to the Design Review Board and the Applicant in their designs and assure a minimum level of design quality for site design and architectural design. The Urban Design Program’s Community Image Diagram designates the intersection located adjacent to the project site as a node, a strategic spot in the city into which an observer can enter, and which are the intensive foci to and from which they are traveling. The Urban Design Program also identifies the portion of Fletcher Parkway along the project site as one of four major circulation corridors in the City.

Similarly, the Grossmont Specific Plan includes special urban design principles for projects within the Specific Plan area to support projects to exhibit superior design principles in both site and architectural design for this key commercial node in the City.

The project appears to meet the intent of both the Urban Design Program and Grossmont Overlay Zone through the project’s site design and architectural design as further discussed below.

URBAN DESIGN PROGRAM SITE DESIGN GUIDELINES
Site Design
The Urban Design Program finds that building location and orientation, buffering and screening, circulation, refuse considerations, and lighting all contribute to a desirable site design for commercial projects. The proposed project meets these considerations as follows:
 The project meets guidelines for building orientation and location by siting the building near the street, and the major intersection, rather than behind the parking lot. The building is setback approximately 12 – 15 feet away from the north and west property lines, with the drive-thru portion located within the setback. The parking lot is proposed along the southeast portion of the site, further from the intersection.
 The project will be buffered by landscaping along the perimeter of the site. This meets the Urban Design Program by creating a buffer to separate the vehicular circulation from the pedestrian circulation within the right-of-way. Within the project site, handicap accessible walkways are included and provide connection from the street and the parking lot to the entrance of the building. Signs and painted arrows will provide patrons clearly defined directions for vehicular and pedestrian movements through the site. Clearly defined circulation patterns meet the Urban

Report to Design Review Board Project No. 2022-1599 (CALI QUESO CORP) Date: May 12, 2025 Page: 4 of 7
Design Program by addressing pedestrian requirements and needs.  The refuse container meets the requirements of the Urban Design Program by locating it away from the public street and building entrance and screening it with materials that are compatible with the building exterior.  Exterior lighting was also considered as part of the architectural and landscape concept of the project. A combination of pole lights and wall packs are proposed on the site to illuminate building and sight entrances, walkways, and parking areas, and other areas of the site to enhance the building design and landscaping as well as provide for safety and security. The area lighting is predominantly downdirected and shielded which assists in avoiding glare or adverse spill-over of light off the site. The lighting plan and lighting fixture cut sheets are provided as Attachment F.

These considerations will reinforce and strengthen the streetscape, creating a pleasing transition that will provide for safer and more attractive walkways, parking and planting.

Landscape Design
A total of 20,401 s.f. of landscaping is proposed for the project, with 3,006 s.f. of landscaping located within the property lines (private property) and 17,395 s.f. of landscaping located within the public right-of-way. The applicant would be responsible for maintenance of the landscaping within the right-of-way and an EMRA with the City of La Mesa will be required to ensure ongoing maintenance of this area. 33 trees are proposed to line all three adjacent streets to create ample screening/buffering while enhancing the overall character of the streetscape. In addition, 7 trees are proposed on the subject property and surround the parking lot. These trees include a combination of accent and broad-spreading shade trees and are proposed together with accent plants and shrubs that were selected for low water use.

Off-Street Parking Design
The project includes 16 off-street parking spaces. The parking area includes interior and perimeter landscaping around the paved areas to meet the City’s Parking and Landscape Standards. The project meets the Off-Street Parking Design Guidelines by providing concrete curbing around landscaped areas, striping and wheel stops, and use of compact parking spaces.

Energy Conservation
The project meets the Energy Conservation Guidelines through its site orientation, and landscaping. The orientation and siting of structures and landscaping consider water conservation, by management of water run-off and use of plant materials appropriate to the climate. The number of trees proposed for the project exceeds the CalGreen requirement for 50% shade coverage, which will lead to a decreased heat island effect

Report to Design Review Board Project No. 2022-1599 (CALI QUESO CORP) Date: May 12, 2025 Page: 5 of 7
as the shade trees will cool the pavement below.

Safety Design
The Urban Design Program encourages the consideration of safety when designing a development in ways such as creating defensible spaces that clearly define physical spaces into areas of public, semi-public, semi-private, and private spaces. Along the street frontage of the project site, street trees and additional landscaping are proposed.

The drive-thru lane sits between the public right-of-way landscaping, and the new building. The project meets the intent of the safety design guidelines through the use of space between the public right-of-way and private property, and creates a transition and symbolic barrier on the site. In addition, parking lot lighting is selected and oriented so that points and areas vulnerable to crime are accented.

To continue to provide sufficient, safe, and minimally disrupted walkways and traffic, the existing curb opening will remain unchanged. The internal site circulation will change due to the new building and addition of the drive thru. In order to address these internal circulation changes, a queuing analysis was submitted. The queuing analysis will be reviewed by the Planning Commission as part of the Site Development Plan review, and a condition of approval will be included to address offsite impacts due to queuing delays.

Other public health, safety, and welfare findings and discussions will also be addressed as part of the Site Development Plan review, not the Design Review.

Major Circulation Corridor
The project site is located on the I-8/Fletcher Parkway corridor, which is considered a Major Circulation Corridor in the Urban Design Program. The project meets the Major Circulation Corridor guidelines through the use of landscaping, street trees, and pedestrian pathways along the right-of-way. By maintaining three of the existing jacaranda street trees along Fletcher Parkway, proposing additional flowering trees, and incorporating pine trees to create cohesion with the property to the south will strengthen the character and image of the corridor.

URBAN DESIGN PROGRAM ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
Architectural Design
The project meets the following Urban Design Program elements for architectural design:
consistency, form and texture, human scale, neighborhood character, pedestrian interest, and rooftops. The proposed design for the building is modern. The variety in surface planes, forms, and textures appears to create variety and interest across all building elevations, while also creating consistency. Projecting canopies, and horizontal and vertical offsets create visual relief, while an interesting variety of window sizes and types

Report to Design Review Board Project No. 2022-1599 (CALI QUESO CORP) Date: May 12, 2025 Page: 6 of 7
are organized into a regular pattern. These offsets and patterns contribute to the human scale, proportion, and massing of the building, which is consistent with the Urban Design Program. In addition, the rooftop mechanical equipment is screened by the building’s parapet walls, and the proposed screening method is cohesive with the building’s design.

The neighborhood is commercial in character, and the proposed design is consistent with the character of the neighborhood.

Architectural Finish and Details
The proposed building utilizes a variety of colors and materials to create further visual interest. The project utilizes thin brick and EIFS (exterior insulation and finish systems) (similar to stucco) for the building’s base surface materials, with metal canopies, composite wood, illumination panels, and cultered stone for the accent materials. Colors used in the design include orange, blue, black, gray, and chestnut. The combination of the neutral colors and the accent colors provides for a distinct color theme for the building that is cohesive with the branding of the proposed restaurant. The color scheme and proposed materials are consistent with the Urban Design Program Guidelines by providing visual interest and contrast, while not detracting from the surrounding neighborhood.

GROSSMONT SPECIFIC PLAN SITE AND BUILDING DESIGN GUIDELINES The Grossmont Specific Plan site and building design guidelines call to the importance of how the building interacts with the street since the area is part of a key commercial node in the City. In consideration of the guidelines, the project meets the intent by placing the building close to the major intersection, placing the parking away from the intersection, minimizing driveway openings, encouraging interconnecting on-site pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns, providing landscaping and canopy trees throughout parking lots, and providing street trees. In addition, the Grossmont Specific Plan calls for new buildings to provide equal architectural relief and detailing on all building sides to achieve a more elevated design. The project provides a variety of color and materials, varying roof lines, and canopies across all building elevations in order to provide visual interest. By providing relatively equal amount of architectural relief, materials, and color across all building walls, the project meets the architectural design intent for the Grossmont Specific Plan.

CONCLUSION:

As discussed above, the project appears to meet the site design guidelines and architectural design guidelines of the Urban Design Program and Grossmont Specific Plan. Staff recommends that the Design Review Board approve Project 2022-1599, subject to City Council ratification.

The HOME Team utilizes progressive engagement and harm reduction to assist individuals who are unable to access homeless services on their own. This report breaks down the the HOME Team efforts and successes during the 2nd quarter of 2025.

Since the beginning of the quarter, the HOME program outreach specialists have:
• Contacted 174 total individuals experiencing homelessness and newly enrolled 107 adults and 13 children. Many of these newly enrolled adults are one-time contacts that were provided shortterm services as they passed through La Mesa. A total of 15 individuals contacted this quarter were connected to a temporary or permanent home.
• Responded to 631 service calls routed through LMPD dispatch, HOME hotline or city email, and as follow-ups to previous contacts. Historically, many of these calls would have been handled by city emergency response services and law enforcement. • Prioritized the most vulnerable individuals in the City of La Mesa, including individuals living on the street with chronic physical and mental health conditions, households with children, and individuals facing chronic homelessness.

Clients Served
The HOME Team operates out of LMPD headquarters in downtown La Mesa and responds to nonemergency calls for service related to homelessness that are generated through police dispatch, HOME email, and The HOME Hotline. Each of these calls is first attended by a HOME Team outreach specialist; PD or PERT officers are only requested for rare cases involving legal or safety concerns. 120

Housing Matches
Housing matches provided through the Coordinated Entry System (CES) are an essential part of people attempting to access permanent housing. In short, a housing match is when a person is connected to a housing provider for assistance in the form of a subsidized room or ongoing rental assistance. Once a person has been matched through CES, the HOME Team does their best to help a client connect with the housing provider to complete the housing process. During this quarter, the HOME Team received 21 housing matches. Connecting people to housing without matches continues to be a significant struggle for the HOME Team.

Client Services
The HOME Team continues to excel in helping clients navigate and connect with a variety of existing services within the community. Some of these services include ongoing nutritional, medical, and financial support through programs such as Cal-Fresh, Medical, and General Relief.

The HOME Team was able to connect multiple people with these services by transporting and supporting these clients in navigating these services at the Family Resource Centers located in Lemon Grove and El Cajon.

The HOME Team has continued to provide housing navigation throughout this quarter. Housing Navigation aids individuals who have an income, housing voucher, or rental assistance subsidies that could support a rental unit on an ongoing basis. The HOME Team Housing Navigator works with these clients to identify suitable units, pay for application fees, advocate to landlords, and provide financial assistance to cover the move-in costs related to the rental unit.

The HOME Team also continues to assist with acquiring identifying documentation. Almost all of the clients who successfully exited the program during this quarter worked with the HOME Team to acquire both State Identification cards and/ or Social Security Cards; attaining these documents was a necessity for their housing placements.

The HOME Team has continued working closely with a non-profit: 2nd Chance. This non-profit provides a Job Readiness Training (JRT) course for clients who struggle with connecting to employment due to their homelessness status and/ or involvement with the justice system. As part of the JRT, the participants are provided with professional interview attire. During the last week of JRT, the participants take part in a round of interviews with potential employers including but not limited to Western Towing, ACE Parking, and Sycuan Casino.

The HOME Team having consistent access to a van continues to be an important resource for clients.

During the quarter, the HOME Team utilized the van to view units for rent in El Cajon, Downtown San Diego, and San Diego County. Being able to go to units quickly and with little notice has resulted in clients being able to successfully exit our program into rental assistance programs. The HOME Team has also utilized this van to clear encampments by taking clients and their belongings to storage, housing opportunities, or alternative camping locations. Most importantly, this van is accessible to people that have disabilities or are experiencing mobility issues.

During this quarter, the HOME Team has provided some form of financial and/or basic-needs assistance to all enrolled clients with the dual objectives of moving them toward a housing outcome and keeping them safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. These objectives have not changed throughout this quarter.

All clients received COVID-19-related services, including updates related to local public-health guidelines, vaccine information, hygiene supplies, and personal protective equipment (PPE), such as face masks and hand sanitizer.

All clients received food, water, or other nutrition services, with approximately 65 prioritized for on-going meal support.

HOME program staff distributed $8,848.77 in direct financial assistance, including vehicle repair, and funds used to secure new rental units. 3 household (4 person) received accommodation in a motel, designed to provide short-term, bridge shelter for those with a concrete housing plan.

HOME program staff arranged 23 rides to apartment viewings, shelter stays, program intake interviews, and other critical appointments via ridesharing service.
14 Clients were connected to ongoing physical, mental, and/or behavioral healthcare.
3 Instances of clients connected to CA ID, Birth Certificate, and/ or Social Security Card.

Ongoing Care
Throughout the life of the program, HOME has noticed that the majority of calls related to someone experiencing homelessness were generated because of another community members concern for a person’s mental, physical, or behavioral health. Because of this, the HOME Team has prioritized connecting people to ongoing healthcare through organizations such as Family Health Centers, East County Behavioral Health, Jane Westin, Alvarado Parkway Institute, and Volunteers in Medicine. All of these organizations provide low to no-cost services to people experiencing homelessness. Connecting people to ongoing and preventative care such as what is being offered at these organizations is essential to addressing issues that invariably result in emergent health situations for people experiencing homelessness. These situations result in over-burdend emergency rooms, ambulances, and other emergency services. Additionally, due to the limited nature of HOME services provided to a person after they are housed, having connections to ongoing community support is an important part of someone maintaining housing stability.

Calls for Service
The HOME Team responded to 631 calls for service during the quarter. This number includes service calls routed through LMPD dispatch, HOME hotline or city email, and follow-ups to previous contacts.

Of these calls for service, 144 calls were new requests for assistance related to homelessness in the City. Historically, these calls would have been addressed by city emergency response services and law enforcement.

Of these calls, 204 were direct responses to calls to the HOME hotline and email requests made by community members regarding someone experiencing homelessness.

Additionally, 341 calls were service driven appointments with clients or proactive rapport-building contacts, in support of the HOME Team’s mission.

During the entirety of this quarter, the HOME Team was connected to the La Mesa Police Department’s dispatch center via police radio. Starting the 4th quarter of 2021, the HOME Team has been able to realize the benefits of the technology and partnerships with call-takers through decreased response times to current calls for service, improved support to police officers, enhanced understanding of the program workload and service provision through data tracking, and improved safety of the HOME Team members and the community.

Hotel Utilization
The HOME Team provided a hotel stay to 4 clients (3 households) the quarter. All of these stays were directly related to upcoming housing appointments. Three of the 4 occupants were able to move directly into housing from the motel. 1 occupant is still waiting on a determination from the housing commission and property manager regarding if the client will be able to access the Permanent Supportive Housing that they were matched to.

Client success stories
A client contacted the HOME team and was
enrolled in February 2025, bringing with him a
unique background as a young man who served
in the military for approximately a year. Since his
discharge in 2019, he has faced the difficult
reality of homelessness, spending the last two
years living intermittently in his car with his
partner. This challenging situation has taken a
toll on him, but the client has shown tremendous
resilience in the face of adversity. Before
reaching out to HOME, this client had crossed
paths with various social workers and outreach
personnel who began the qualification process a
VASH (Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing)
voucher. Unfortunately, the service provider did
not monitor the application process. Upon
contacting HOME in February, the client found a
team eager to support him. The clinical outreach
specialist worked closely with him to refine his
resume and navigate job applications. With
HOME’s assistance, the client was able to
gather his bank statements, which were
necessary to establish his connection with
Veterans Affairs (VA)). The client was matched
with a social worker at the VA, who guided him
through the necessary steps. The client’s
determination quickly paid off when he secured a part-time position as a security guard at a local high school, marking a significant turning point in his life. In April 2025, this client received the good news of his acceptance as a VASH voucher recipient, a testament to his perseverance and hard work. By early June, he was able to move into his own apartment, finally giving him a stable place to call home.

Throughout this entire journey, this client has exemplified extraordinary resolve and determination, transforming his challenges into opportunities for a brighter future.

Client Quote: I can't thank you, and Mathew enough. Thank you Taja! I got a place, a job, and very soon, hopefully, have my car up and driving. Mathew was even able to get my best friend his dd214.

He's been having difficulty with it the past 20 or so years. You guys are absolutely awesome! In 2, almost 3 months, I went from homeless, to having a home, and then a job one month after getting my new home.

Another success story from this quarter involves a couple who originally began working with the HOME program in 2023. Both persons are over 65 years of age. One person was employed on a part-time basis. The other person was not working or collecting a monthly income. Throughout their work with the HOME Team, this couple oscillated between living in encampments, accessing safe parking programs in the county, and living in their car on the street. Due to a variety of barriers, mostly related to income constraints, this couple had not been able to access permanent ongoing housing despite having regular income. These clients worked diligently to stay connected to HOME as well as a variety

of other health-related services. Earlier this year, one of the clients began collecting Social Security retirement. This additional income allowed the clients to be considered for a larger variety of properties.

After working closely with the HOME Housing Navigator and submitting applications to a variety of places, the couple was accepted to a low-income property geared towards older adults in San Diego.

Additionally, the HOME Team was able to connect these clients to Townspeople to provide some ongoing case management and a limited rental subsidy as part of the City of La Mesa & Townspeople Shared Housing Collaborative.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: August 12, 2025
SUBJECT: SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT TO THE POLICE
OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION (“POA”) MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING (“MOU”) AND UNREPRESENTED

EMPLOYEES BENEFIT PLAN
DESCRIPTION: AMENDMENT TO THE POA MOU TO REFLECT

CHANGES TO THE POST INCENTIVE PAY FOR

POLICE SERVICES TECHNICIANS, AS WELL AS

CHANGES TO THE UNREPRESENTED BENEFIT PLAN

FOR FIRE MANAGEMENT AND THE POLICE CHIEF
CLASSIFICATIONS.

ISSUING DEPARTMENT: HUMAN RESOURCES
SUMMARY:

Issues:

1. Should the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Side Letter of Agreement to the 2024-2027 Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City of La Mesa and the Police Officers’ Association (“POA”), to add incentive pay for the POST Dispatchers Basic Course for the Police Services Technician (“PST”) classification?

2. Should the City Council adopt a resolution approving amendments to the unrepresented compensation plan to include a POST incentive pay for the Police Chief classification and for the Fire Safety Management classifications to have the same conversion factor for leave banks, based on 80-hour or 112-hour per pay period schedule, as represented fire employees?

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 12, 2025
Page: 2 of 4
Recommendation:

1. That City Council adopt a resolution approving a Side Letter of Agreement to the 2024-2027 Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City of La Mesa and the Police Officers’ Association (“POA”), to add incentive pay for the POST Dispatchers Basic Course for the Police Services Technician (“PST”) classifications.

2. That City Council adopt a resolution approving amendments to the unrepresented compensation plan to include a POST incentive pay for the Police Chief classification and for the Fire Safety Management classifications to have the same conversion factor for leave banks, based on 80-hour or 112-hour per pay period schedule, as represented fire employees.

Fiscal Impact: The fiscal impact of the POST certification pay for the three Police Services Technicians and Police Chief is less than $40,000 per fiscal year. The fiscal impact for the Fire Safety Management leave conversion is limited to long term leave liability for the two affected employees and costs for all proposed adjustments can be managed within the existing departmental budgets.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Ensure a strong financial outlook through careful planning, sustainable service levels, and fiscal sustainability.
 Nurture an organizational culture where employees are recognized for the delivery of high-quality services to the community.

DISCUSSION:

POST Certification Pay
Police Services Technician: The City has three Police Services Technicians in the Police Department whose primary role is to serve as the first point of contact for the Police Department, receiving emergency and non-emergency calls, assisting the public, and managing law enforcement records. The current POA MOU includes an agreement to conduct a classification and compensation audit for the Police Services Technician classification and meet and confer over any impacts no later than June 30, 2025.

The City utilized an outside consultant to conduct the audit and met with POA within the required timeframe. The audit included the analysis of the current job duties as described in each incumbent’s position description questionnaire, their supervisor’s comments, the

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 12, 2025
Page: 3 of 4
PST job description as well as other City classifications, and an analysis of the external market salary benchmarks.

The consultant concluded that the PSTs are currently performing job duties within the PST classification, but recommended the City revise the job description to include the Police Officer Standards and Training (“POST”) Dispatchers Basic Course as a required certification to be obtained within 12 months of appointment. All PSTs currently have the POST Basic Dispatchers Course certificate.

The current POA MOU includes a POST educational incentive pay for Dispatchers and the Communication Supervisor of 5% of Step E of their respective classification. Because the PST job description will now also require a POST Basic Dispatcher certification, the City and POA agreed to include the POST educational incentive pay of 5% of Step E for the PST classification as well. The attached resolution amends the terms of the POA MOU to reflect that change.

Police Chief: The City currently offers POST incentive pay to sworn police officers and the Police Lieutenant and Police Captain management classifications. The incentive encourages ongoing education and leadership training, and provides compensation for those who have obtained intermediate, advanced, supervisory or management POST certifications.

The current compensation package for the Police Chief classification does not include POST incentive pay. The Police Chief position requires extensive law enforcement experience, training and possession of a POST certification in the management level.

Staff recommends amending the unrepresented management compensation plan to provide an educational incentive pay based on 5% of Police Chief Step E for a Management POST, or 10% of Police Chief Step E for an Executive POST certificate.

The Executive POST certificate requires a minimum of 60 semester units at an accredited college, serving as head of their current law enforcement agency for at least two years, and have completed the POST executive development course. The Police Chief currently holds the Executive POST certificate. Amending the compensation package to include this incentive recognizes the Chief’s qualifications and also enhances the City’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified leadership in the future.

Fire Management Employees:

Fire suppression personnel in the City are typically scheduled on a 56-hour work week (or 112 hours per pay period). Heartland Firefighters of La Mesa Local #4759 currently receive leave accruals and balances that reflect this 112-hour schedule. Battalion Chiefs who may be assigned from suppression to an 80-hour administrative work schedule

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 12, 2025
Page: 4 of 4
convert their leave accrual from 112 hours to 80 hours. Per the fire MOU, “in the event the 9/80 Battalion Chief retires or changes to a 112-hour work schedule, their sick leave and combined vacation/holiday banks shall be converted back to their original value. They shall be multiplied by a factor of 1.4, this factor is calculated by dividing 56 by 40.” To ensure consistency, fairness, and internal equity, staff recommends aligning the leave accrual conversion for Fire Safety Management employees with the same standard for suppression employees. This adjustment would convert existing and future leave balances for eligible Fire Safety Management classifications at time of retirement or schedule change from an 80-hour schedule to a 112-hour schedule using the standard conversion factor of 1.4.

This adjustment would only apply to Fire Safety Management positions, specifically: Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief, and Fire Division Chief classifications. At this time, only two positions are filled within these positions.

SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT AMENDING
THE 2024-2027 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE CITY OF LA MESA AND THE LA MESA POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION WHEREAS, on June 25, 2024, the City of La Mesa (“City”) and the La Mesa Police Officers’ Association (POA) executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027;
WHEREAS, on November 10, 2024, the City of La Mesa (“City”) and the La Mesa Police Officers’ Association (POA) executed a side letter to the MOU for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027 to add terms related to a reduced workweek for sworn employees (Section 1.11.03); WHEREAS, as a result of the Classification and Compensation Audit for the Police Services Technician (PST) classification, conducted per Section 1.24.02 of the MOU, the City and POA desire to revise the job description to add the requirement that individuals who hold positions in the PST classification obtain the Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) Dispatchers Basic Course certification within 12 months of appointment, consistent with POST Commission Regulation 1018; WHEREAS, the City and POA desire to add incentive pay for the POST Dispatchers Basic Course certifications for the PST classifications; and
WHEREAS, the City and POA desire to amend the terms of the POA MOU stated herein subject to ratification by POA and the City Council.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City and POA agree as follows:

Section 1.32.2 PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING (POST) INCENTIVE PROGRAM (Police Services Technician Classifications) is added to read as follows:

SECTION 1.32.2 (This section applies to Police Services Technician classifications)
Educational incentive pay for Police Services Technicians (PST) will be based on 5% of PST Step E for a P.O.S.T Dispatchers Basic Course certification.

The EMPLOYEE shall be responsible for notification to CITY and for providing appropriate documentation as required by CITY and by P.O.S.T. Payment for obtaining such Certificate will be based on the date of issuance on the P.O.S.T. certificate, except when new EMPLOYEES possess a P.O.S.T. Certificate upon employment. For new EMPLOYEES, the date for the additional pay shall be the date of employment.

The CITY shall promptly review the information provided by the EMPLOYEE and will send a completed application to P.O.S.T. within fourteen (14) calendar days of submission to the CITY.

Because of the additional complexity of the P.O.S.T. certification process, retroactive adjustment of errors as provided in section 1.10 of this agreement will be extended to a maximum period of three (3) years prior to the time of discovery.

The City and POA agree that this form of pay does not qualify as special compensation for nonsafety employees per Title 2 Section 571 or 571.1 and is therefore not pensionable.

Except as expressly modified in this side letter herein, all terms and conditions of the 2024-2027 MOU shall remain in full force and effect.

For CITY OF LA MESA: For Police Officers’ Association:

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: August 12,2025
Page: 2 of 3
BACKGROUND:

The City of La Mesa requires all vendors, contractors, and entities doing business with or on city property to provide proof of insurance that meets specified risk and liability requirements. Currently, the process for collecting, reviewing, and tracking Certificates of Insurance (COIs) is performed manually by various departments. This decentralized and labor-intensive process increases the risk of non-compliance, expired coverage, and potential liability exposure to the City.

DISCUSSION:

Evident ID provides a cloud-based insurance verification solution that includes the following services:
 Centralized digital collection and storage of COIs
 Automated tracking and expiration alerts
 Verification of policy details against city insurance requirements  Exception reporting and non-compliance flagging
 Integration with existing vendor management or permitting systems (if applicable).

The proposed service will standardize how insurance documents are received and verified citywide, improve contract risk management, and allow staff to focus on core responsibilities.

In accordance with section 2.40.190 of the City of La Mesa Municipal Code, the purchasing officer may buy directly from a vendor at a price established by competitive bidding by another public jurisdiction in substantial compliance with the City’s formal contract, informal/open market and/or public project bid procedures even if the City of La Mesa had not joined with that public agency in a cooperative purchase. The purchasing officer may also purchase from the United States of America or any state, municipality, or other public corporation or agency.

Evident has entered into an agreement with PRISM (Public Risk Innovation Solutions and Management) a pooling and risk management community in California, pursuant to the PRISM Master Service Agreement in July 2024 to provide a subscription to Evident ID software and insurance verification services. The City of La Mesa intends to enter into a Relying Party Subscription under the same terms and conditions as the PRISM Master Agreement, thereby utilizing the piggyback provision allowed under the City's Municipal Code. The City of La Mesa is a member of PRISM through Public Entity Risk Management Authority (PERMA), an insurance pool in which the City participates.

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, Docusign Envelope ID: 406470A8-39AE-4DCE-95E0-58FA8C007211

25. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT FOR CAUSE OR CONVENIENCE
If, through any cause, the Contractor shall fail to fulfill in timely and proper manner their obligations under this Agreement, or if the Contractor shall violate any of the covenants, agreements, or stipulations of this Agreement, the City shall thereupon have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice to the Contractor of such termination and an opportunity to cure of at least thirty (30) days, specifying the effective date thereof. In such event, Contractor shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed hereunder.

Origami has entered into an agreement with the County of San Mateo in January 2025 to provide and implement a Risk Management Information System.
