SUBJECT: PRESENTATION FOR A NEW BUILDING SPACE

NEEDS ANALYSIS TO HOUSE CITY HALL AND A POST

OFFICE TO ALLOW EXPANSION OF THE LIBRARY
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
SUMMARY:

Recommendation:

That the City Council receive a presentation and provide feedback for a new building Space Needs Analysis to house City Hall and a Post Office to allow expansion of the library.

Fiscal Impact:

None at this time.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Invest in infrastructure to serve the needs of the community.  Nurture an organizational culture where employees are recognized for the delivery of high-quality services to the community.

BACKGROUND:

At the July 27, 2021 City Council meeting, the Council approved the formation of a Library Task Force for the purpose of reviewing options and recommending a method to expand the La Mesa Branch of the San Diego County Library (La Mesa Branch). City Council directed staff to research options for expanding the La Mesa Branch commensurate to the community’s size and needs and recommend a course of action to the City Council.

The Task Force began meeting in November 2021, and consisted of three at-large members and members from the San Diego County Library, Friends of the La Mesa Library, a faith-based/non-profit organization, and the education community. T he

Task Force received a presentation on the San Diego County Library’s criteria and operational considerations based on current standards. Using this information, the Task Force discussed and drafted recommendations. The Task Force concluded its last meeting in February of 2022 by adopting formal recommendations for the City Council to consider. The recommendations were as follows:

1. Retain a consultant to prepare a Library Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study to evaluate the existing library facility, current operations, and growth potential.

The Library Task Force recommended that the Facility Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study include the following components:

A. Evaluate overall capacity for programs, and space needs for public meetings, computer/printer usage, staff work, quiet study/reading area, and outdoor events.

B. Conduct community engagement.

C. Utilize the Needs Assessment completed by the County of San Diego Library in 2020 as a resource and consult with the County of San Diego La Mesa Library to assess facility needs.

2. The Library Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study process would provide additional information regarding the optimum facility size to accommodate current and future growth of library programs and operations and estimate the potential development of two possible scenarios:

A. Expanding the current library by constructing a second-floor mezzanine or expand into the existing post office space. Developing potential alternative configurations to the library floor plan to provide additional space for programs and services including the potential use of outdoor space.

B. In partnership with the County of San Diego, exploring the option of constructing a new library facility on the site identified in the 2016 Civic Center Feasibility Study or an offsite location either as a public project or a public-private partnership.

At the March 22, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council approved funding to prepare the Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study (Study) for the La Mesa Branch Library. In April 2022, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP 22- 14) and Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, Inc. (RNT) was selected as the most qualified consulting firm to perform the Study.

The Study considered three design options for remodel, expansion, or new construction to expand library services based off a 15,000 square foot library template from the San Diego County Library Master Plan, which was referenced in the Study to provide guidance for library renovation or new construction. Considerations were also based on public input from a survey, library staff input, City input, and professional architectural judgements by RNT.

The results of the Study were presented to the City Council on July 25, 2023. Three Options were developed.

Option 1: Vertical Expansion – This option adds a second level to the existing footprint of the library. With this option, a number of staff and service spaces remain functional, notably the location of the lobby and restrooms. The addition of an elevator and two separate egress stairs comes with the addition of the second floor. As a second-floor program space, a community room can have controlled access and acoustic separation from the main library. An exterior patio space is possible on the second floor as well. This design option results in a 16,176 square foot library at an estimated cost of $7,285,157.

Option 2: Horizontal Expansion – This option expands the library into the existing and adjacent United States Postal Service (Post Office) office. As with option 1, a number of existing staff and service spaces are able to remain functional, but the lobby and restrooms are relocated to support the community room. The Post Office entrance is utilized in this option and the existing library entrance is changed to an exit-only function.

Option 2 would require the Post Office to consent to relocation and a new location would need to be identified. This design option results in a 16,138 square foot library at an estimated cost of $5,878,571.

Option 3: New Building – This option includes the design and construction of a new library facility at the northwest corner of Allison Avenue and Spring Street. This location engages the existing transit hub and connects circulation with a breezeway lobby that can open and close with the operation hours of the library. This option could be designed with uses on top of the library, such as offices, apartments, or uses related to the Civic Center site.

This design option results in a 16,444 square foot library at an estimated cost of $13,842,645. The cost estimate only includes the library space, not any additional uses above.

Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to proceed with Option 2 horizontal expansion into the existing post office space.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers

Page: 4 of 6
Since receiving Council direction, staff has been attempting to locate space for the post office relocation. Post office real estate and planning staff advised the City that it would prefer to move to a space that was 4,500 square feet in size. Currently, the post office leases 7,000 square feet of space at the rear of the building occupied by the library. After multiple search attempts, there are no available properties that match the requirements of the post office. Therefore, staff recommended that the City Council consider constructing a new building as part of the next phase of the Civic Center redevelopment where the post office could be relocated to.

There are approximately 2.5 acres of vacant space in the North and East portions of the Civic Center available for development that is currently being used for vehicle parking.

The 2016 Civic Center Feasibility Study envisioned this area eventually being built out with 2 separate buildings and a parking structure. One building could house City Hall and a new smaller post office.

DISCUSSION:

The current City Hall was built in 1958 (67 years ago) and has been renovated multiple times. There are also 2 separate temporary trailers adjacent to City Hall (Annex 1 and Annex 2) used by City employees because there is not enough room to accommodate all employees within the original City Hall. Some employees in the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department have been relocated to the Public Works Operations center on Commercial Street. There is no more room for employees in the existing building at the Civic Center.

City Hall is the last building remaining from the original Civic Center development in the 50s and 60s. The building has passed the end of its useful life and is not a comfortable or adequate workspace for the employees.

The first step in preparing for a new City Hall was to hire an architect to prepare a space needs analysis for a modern city hall. Much has changed in the public office space word over the past 60 years. Far less paper storage space is required with the transition to digital documentation. More conference and shared space is needed than what is available in the existing building. And, the building needs to be designed in accordance with modern security requirements for employee safety.

The analysis will include an assessment of existing facilities as well as future needs for employees and the community. The analysis will not get into detail regarding building design, style, or architecture. These details will be fleshed out if the City Council decides to move forward with subsequent design phases of the Civic Center.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers

Page: 5 of 6
The analysis will determine what size (in square feet) the building should be that includes space for a new City Hall and Post Office. It is anticipated that a 2-story design will be utilized for the new building consistent with the other new buildings at the Civic Center.

Staff contacted post office real estate personnel to let them know of the City’s plans to conduct the space needs analysis and invited them to participate in the analysis process.

A letter was sent to the Post Office Vice President of Facilities on July 30, 2025 requesting the Post Office’s commitment to relocate to a new smaller facility.

Once the size of this building is determined, then the remaining Civic Center space could be programmed for other uses such as residential, office and parking. With the Civic Center available space for other uses determined the City could then solicit development partners that would likely bring resources to the table to offset future construction costs of the City Hall/Post Office building.

On March 25, 2025 the City Council awarded a contract for a City Hall Space Needs Analysis to HMC Architects.

Scope of Work
The scope of work focused on assessing the existing City Hall, understanding City leadership’s vision for the future facility, collaborating with internal department leaders to develop an appropriate space program. The following work was included:
 Assess existing City Hall and develop a space program for existing spaces.

Work with City Leadership to understand current and future needs for the City Hall. Develop program survey for department heads for detailed feedback and listen to their specific needs. Prepare space program by department, with adjacencies, square footages, and unique requirements. Prepare conceptual adjacency diagram. Include space for the Post Office Finance Station.  Convert conceptual adjacency diagram into diagrammatic “bubble” floor plans to understand future building footprint and entries. Identify required parking count and traffic flow, and desired site amenities, such as public courtyards and other outdoor areas. Prepare conceptual site plans.
 Prepare a rough order of magnitude cost estimate for future City Hall.

The Civic Center Master Plan ad hoc subcommittee (Mayor Arapostathis and Councilmember Suzuki) met on August 25, 2025 to review the results of the analysis and presentation.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 23, 2025
Page: 2 of 4
(New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). The project meets all conditions necessary to qualify for the exemption and none of the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 apply.

BACKGROUND:

The subject property is located at 8703 Murray Drive, north of Jackson Drive, south of Grossmont Center Drive. The approximately 1.0-acre project site is located at Murray Drive and Jackson Drive.

The applicant, Soapy Joe’s, Inc., is proposing to construct a new express car wash facility on a currently vacant lot. The proposed car wash facility will total approximately 4,755 square feet, including:
 A 2,200 sq. ft. wash tunnel
 1,012 sq. ft. for equipment and support facilities
 597 sq. ft. for bathrooms, a breakroom, and office space The proposed project will provide 31 customer parking spaces that will service as selfservice vacuum bays, 3 employee spaces, on-site lighting, a new wash tunnel, and landscaping. The car wash will offer automated and manual vehicle drying, customeroperated vacuum stations, and additional manual drying areas. On August 11, 2025, the Design Review Board (DRB) approved the project with recommendations. Project plans, renderings, and materials board are included as Attachment B.

DISCUSSION:

The DRB found that the proposed project is consistent with the City’s Urban Design Guidelines. A summary of the Board’s determination is provided below, with the Certificate of Action included as Attachment C.

Building Location and Orientation
The Urban Design Program evaluates projects location and orientation on pleasing transitions that provides safe and attractive walkways, parking, and plantings while also locating buildings near the street. The Design Review Board determined that the project meets the location and orientation requirements by orienting the entrance towards Murray Drive and providing a cohesive landscape design that is used throughout the project site.

Lighting
The Urban Design Program evaluates a project’s lighting design and intensity to enhance design and landscaping while also meeting the need for safety and security. The Design Review Board determined that the project meets the lighting requirements by providing

Page 34 of 258 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 23, 2025
Page: 3 of 4
sufficient lighting throughout the site including three different styles of lighting and minimizing any potential spillover by use of shielded lighting fixtures that direct lighting towards the interior of the site.

Landscaping
The Urban Design Program evaluates a project’s landscaping for consistency and use of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The Design Review Board determined that the project meets the landscaping requirements through sufficient landscaping with varied species and providing additional landscaping along the public right of way in front of the property.

The site will create approximately 8,200 square feet of landscaping as part of the project.

The proposed landscaping improvements exceed the City’s landscape requirements. A refresh of landscaping along Murray drive within the public right of way is proposed to provide a buffer between the street frontage, vacuum bays, and project site. A variety of trees, shrubs, and plant cover are proposed with twenty-two new trees to be planted.

Energy Conservation
The Urban Design Program evaluates a project’s energy conservation using various categories including: building design, solar utility, energy efficiency, use of shadows and open space, while also designing for the climate. The Design Review Board determined that the project meets the energy conservation requirements through the use of drought tolerant landscaping, equipment that is able to recycle water approximately 9 times, and the use equipment that meets or exceed the energy performance standards outlined in Title 24; The California Energy Code.

Safety
The Urban Design Program evaluates a project’s safety design by using various categories including: zones of privacy, symbolic barriers, transition zones, natural surveillance, entrance areas, layout, lighting, and others. The Design Review Board determined that the project meets the safety requirements by providing landscaping to create transition zones, clear entrance areas, and use of lighting throughout the site.

Roofs
The Urban Design Program evaluates a project’s exposed rooftop by using various categories including: color, texture, and use of screening. The Design Review Board determined that the project complies with the City’s roofing requirements. The proposal includes sufficient screening of all roof-mounted equipment, and the roof color has been selected to integrate with the building’s overall color scheme. Any future equipment placed on the roof will be required to comply with La Mesa Municipal Code Section

24.060.020.G, which mandates that rooftop equipment be screened from public view and designed to reduce noise.

Architectural Design
The Urban Design Program evaluates a project’s architectural design, finishes, and details across categories such as orientation, design theme, compatibility, consistency, form and texture, human scale, neighborhood character, pedestrian interest, variety, entries, treatments, materials, colors, paving, architectural features, site utilities, windows and doors, and parapets.

The Design Review Board determined that this project meets the City’s requirements by incorporating a visually engaging design, maintaining consistency in architectural elements, applying human scale, and utilizing varied neutral tones accented by a bold blue reflective of the Soapy Joe’s brand, with stucco as the primary material.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council ratify the Design Review Board approval of Project 2025-0657.

City's Strategic Goals:
 Maintain a community where residents and visitors feel safe.  Promote a high quality of life that current and future generations can afford to call home.
 Invest in infrastructure to serve the needs of the community.

Environmental Review:

This is not a project subject to CEQA and, therefore, is not subject to environmental review. CCR15378; PRC 21065.

BACKGROUND:

The City of La Mesa is an entitlement jurisdiction that receives an annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to benefit low- and moderate-income residents.

Each year, HUD requires entitlement jurisdictions to submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) summarizing progress toward the goals identified in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. The CAPER is due to HUD ninety (90) days after the close of the program year.

In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan, residents were provided notice and an opportunity to submit comments. The draft 2024-2025 CAPER was made available for public review for a 15-day comment period beginning on September 4, 2025.

Notification of the availability of the FY 2024-2025 CAPER was published in the Daily Transcript and posted with a summary of program year accomplishments on the City's website. Any comments received will be incorporated into the final 2024-2025 CAPER prior to submission to HUD.

Approval and submittal of the CAPER, 90 days after of the end of a fiscal year, ensures the City remains eligible to receive CDBG funds that support public services, community facilities, and fair housing activities for low- and moderate-income residents.

DISCUSSION:

Annually, the City prepares a CAPER using the HUD-prescribed format. The CAPER covers the reporting period July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, and includes a description of the resources made available, the investment of available resources, the geographic distribution and location of investments, the families and persons assisted

(including the racial and ethnic status of persons assisted), actions taken to affirmatively further fair housing, and other actions indicated in the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.

This CAPER covers the fifth and final year of the FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.

In this program year, the City of La Mesa was awarded a total of $453,937. Additionally, the City had a total of $392,622 that was previously award and allocated to improve facilities and infrastructure and $20,000 in unused funds from previous program years.

For a total of $866,559 in CDBG Entitlement Funds.

In addition, in 2020 and 2021, the city received a total of $748,782 in CDBG-Corona Virus (CDBG-CV) funds. The City spent most of those funds in program year 2020-2021, but had a remaining balance of $166,372. Which was reallocated in this program year.

The 2024-2025 CAPER (ATTACHMENT A) reports details of expenditures and accomplishments for completed activities approved by the City Council, as well as other activities rolled over from previous years using the funding sources from those years.

Improve Facilities and Infrastracture
In 2024-2025, the City programmed, $387,937 (Sidewalk Improvements and Nancy Drive Street Improvements). Prior to 2024-2025 allocation, the city had a remaining balance of $392,622 for a combined total of $780,559 for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP).

This year the City spent $317,622 on CIP, which included the project closeout of Collier Park. Leaving a remaining balance of $462,937 that was awarded to activities related to the City's Sidewalk Master Plan. The City’s Sidewalk Master Plan identifies streets where pedestrian connectivity needs improvement. Eligible areas where sidewalk gaps occur include portions of Aztec Drive, Gateside Road, and Amarillo Avenue. These CIP projects are currently in the planning process, and it is anticipated that CDBG funds would also be used in the next program year.

Fair Housing
Each year, the City must certify to HUD that it is "affirmatively furthering fair housing." To promote fair housing in the community, the City contracts with a fair housing service provider to provide fair housing outreach, education, investigation, and counseling services. Currently, the Center for Social Advocacy (CSA) of San Diego County operates the City's fair housing program. The contract, for $30,000 with CSA, helps the City meet the CDBG program implementation requirement without the need to hire specialized staff expertise. The City will continue to identify the need for fair housing amongst its residents and provide services through CSA San Diego.

Planning and Administrative Services
For Planning and Administrative Services, CDBG program regulations allow the expenditure of up to 20 percent of the annual allocation to support program administration and planning activities. This year, the City spent a total of $55,990.27 to assist with the administration of CDBG Programs and Housing Rehabilitation Program.

Homelessness
The City used the remainder of its CDBG-CV funds received in 2020 and 2021, on Homeless services to support the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 by providing guidance, shelter, and care.

A total of $166,372.01 were leveraged with state grant funds and general fund money to bring two (2) additional staff members to assist the homeless populations with services.

CR-05: GOALS AND OUTCOMES
Progress the Jurisdiction had made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.

91.520(a)
This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.

The Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation (CAPER) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025, HUD Program Year 24 (PY 24), captures the expenditures, accomplishments, and progress made on the strategies and goals outlined in the approved FY 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) Amendment for HUD Programs. This CAPER, the fifth year of the 5-Year Con Plan Cycle, covers the period of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, and references activities funded in previous fiscal years and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities Act (CARES Act) CDBG-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) accomplishments reported during the program year.

The Con Plan includes the following high-priority goals, which serve as the basis for the activities previously approved in the 2024-2025 Action Plan. Action Plan goals that CDBG did not fund were carried out using the City's General Funds, as well as state, federal, and local grants. These four goals reflect the needs identified during the Consolidated Planning process.

Infrastructure emerged as the top priority of survey respondents:
• Goal 1 – Improve public facilities and infrastructure to promote a healthy and vibrant city environment.
• Goal 2 – Promote equitable access to affordable housing through preservation of existing units, assistance to homeowners, and fair housing services. • Goal 3 – Create programs to prevent and address homelessness and provide access to services.
• Goal 4 – Provide local community services to support low- and moderate-income households.

La Mesa participates in the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) program as a member of the San Diego County HOME Consortium, which is administered directly by the County of San Diego's Housing and Community Development Department. The Consortium's HOME-funded Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program is available to current and future residents of La Mesa.

The primary goal of the City's CDBG program is to design and construct capital improvements in lower-income neighborhoods. Those neighborhoods generally correspond to the older, less well-developed areas of the City. CDBG resources enable the City to invest in public facilities and infrastructure that serve low- and moderate-income residents. During PY 24, a total of $317,622.01 in CDBG grant funds were used to further an ongoing capital improvement project located in a lower-income neighborhood. Accordingly, CDBG funds have primarily supported multi-year capital improvement campaigns in eligible areas. An eligible areas map is provided as Appendix D. Infrastructure projects tend to be complex, phased undertakings often involving environmental review and mitigation, multiple funding sources, and collaboration with other government agencies.

Progress in implementing the second phase of improvements to Collier Park slowed in 2021 due to COVID-related challenges. Still, construction was underway in 2022, and the project was completed within this program year. The master plan was reconfigured within the project

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CAPER 3
footprint to be more user-friendly for the community and sensitive to site constraints, including topography and street access. The total budget for the Collier Park project (Phase II) was approximately $6 million, of which CDBG provides approximately $2.3 million, leveraged with state, local, and private funding resources. Improvements included re-grading the site, rehabilitating the playground area, tennis and pickleball courts, a parking area, street improvements, landscaping, irrigation, and a new restroom facility. However, construction was completed on the multi-year Collier Park improvements project.

Collier Park Constructions was completed in FY 2023. Project Close began in FY 2024. A number of funding resources from park development fees, Federal Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation donations (for the new playground), CA Department of Parks and Recreation Local Assistance Specified Grant funds, and CA Proposition 68 Land and Water Bond funds were used to fund this project.

The City's Fair Housing Service provider, the Center for Social Advocacy (CSA) in San Diego County, provided one-on-one counseling to 69 clients during the program year, which was fewer than the anticipated 100 clients but an increase from the number of clients served in the prior year. CSA San Diego provided outreach materials at several events in La Mesa. CSA also provided one-on-one counseling sessions to 69 residents of La Mesa.

All CDBG funds, except for planning and administration, were used to benefit low- and moderate-income individuals. During PY 24, CDBG funds totaling $55,990.27 were used toward planning and administration. All of the City's CDBG funds were used exclusively to meet the national objectives.

The PR 03 – CDBG Activity Summary Report in Appendix B outlines the annual accomplishments and the amount of funding allocated to each goal identified in the annual action plan. Activities related to sidewalk improvements are part of the City's Sidewalk improvement planning, pulling funding from multiple sources. The City's Sidewalk Master Plan Map identifies streets where pedestrian connectivity needs improvement. Eligible areas where sidewalk gaps occur include portions of Aztec Drive, Gateside Road, and Amarillo Avenue. A total of $312,937 was awarded to these activities in the last two program years. This capital improvement project is currently in the planning process; however, no CDBG funds were drawn during PY24.

Assess how the Jurisdiction's use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

The City's Strategic Plan outlines projects and activities designed to address the priorities outlined in the Consolidated Plan. It describes eligible programs, projects, and activities to be undertaken with anticipated funds made available over the next five years, as well as their relationship to identifying needs for infrastructure, housing, homelessness, and community and economic development. These activities estimate the number of individuals and types of families that will benefit from the proposed activities, including special local objectives and priority needs, as shown in Table 1 for the current program year. The projected use of funds identifies the proposed accomplishments in Table 2.

The highest priority for CDBG funding is capital improvements. The City has consistently allocated approximately 80 percent of CDBG program funds to qualify for capital improvement projects and will meet the goals and expectations outlined in the Con Plan.

These projects are located in lower-income neighborhoods or benefit presumed low-income clients. Investing in capital projects yields long-lasting benefits for neighborhoods and communities. The City has completed the construction of Collier Park, which is a neighborhood park located on Palm Avenue within a CDBG-eligible area. In addition to park rehabilitation projects, other possible improvement projects for consideration include ADA upgrades, street and sidewalk improvements, and improvements to the adult enrichment center.

Each year, the City must certify to HUD that it is "affirmatively furthering fair housing." To promote fair housing in the community, the City contracts with a fair housing service provider to provide fair housing outreach, education, investigation, and counseling services. Currently, the Center for Social Advocacy (CSA) of San Diego County operates the City's fair housing program. The contract with CSA San Diego County helps the City meet the CDBG program implementation requirement without the need to hire specialized staff expertise. The City will continue to identify the need for fair housing amongst its residents and provide services through CSA San Diego.

For Planning and Administrative Services, CDBG program regulations allow the expenditure of up to 20 percent of the annual allocation to support program administration and planning activities. For the past four years, the City has committed 10-15 percent of the annual grant to fund staff administering the CDBG program.

During the development of the Con Plan, residents were asked to rank the relative importance of housing and community development needs in a survey. Additional needs were also identified at the Community Forum, including the need for mental health services and homelessness prevention services.

The City utilized the remainder of its CDBG-CV funds to provide homeless services via the Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) Team. The HOME team provides housing first and a trauma-informed approach to addressing homelessness in La Mesa. The HOME Team utilizes progressive engagement and harm reduction for individuals who are unable to access homeless services on their own. The HOME Team served a total of 365 clients and provided over 1,602 instances of Service, which include interactions with clients enrolled in the County's case management system. Additionally, the HOME team received over 2,007 calls for services. The City of La Mesa was able to leverage CDBG-CV funds, state grant funds,

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CAPER 7
and general fund money to bring two (2) additional staff members to assist the homeless populations with services. CDBG-CV funds were used to support the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 by providing guidance, shelter, and care.

HUD recommends against small allocations (less than $5,000) to Social Service providers because the level of monitoring and paperwork required makes these programs inefficient and ineffective use of CDBG funds. No funding was allocated to public services for low-income and special needs populations in La Mesa. However, the City continues to refer its residents to several community-based organizations at the local level and within San Diego County, and staff continue to seek additional funding sources to provide public services.

The Housing Rehabilitation program was discontinued in 2011 following the recommendation of HUD. A small amount of program income funding is set aside to cover the staff costs for monitoring the loan portfolio and processing loan pay-off paperwork. Program income resulting from rehabilitation loan pay-offs in excess of the amount needed to fund portfolio management will be committed to other CDBG-eligible projects. The City continues to monitor the portfolio and process loan pay-off paperwork, as noted in the Con Plan.

The PR 26 – CDBG Financial Summary Report shows a total of $453,937 available in CDBG fund resources. These funds have been allocated to the projects and activities outlined in the Annual Action Plan. City staff assess high needs in the City through outreach, taking into consideration available resources and the objectives outlined in the Consolidated Plan, and make recommendations to the City Council.

Narrative:

The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan did not identify geographic target areas of distribution of investments. Given the limited number of eligible low- to moderate-income areas within the City and its compact size, the City has elected not to target specific areas for further investment.

With a total area of only nine square miles, La Mesa is relatively small geographically. All of the City's residential neighborhoods are situated within a distance of no more than four miles from each other. CDBG-eligible areas comprise nearly one-third of the City's total area and are spread evenly across the community.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the Jurisdiction was used to address the needs identified in the plan.

While the CDBG program does not require matching funds, CDBG funds offer excellent opportunities to leverage private, local, state, and other federal funds to allow for the provision of public service activities. For example, many State housing programs have scoring criteria that reward applicants who have matching funds. In the past, La Mesa has been extremely successful in garnering matching infrastructure and transportation funds, and it will continue to seek such opportunities in the future, especially through SANDAG's TransNet funds, Caltrans HSIP and ATP funds, and local funds from La Mesa Park & Recreation Foundation.

Page 75 of 258 ends

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CAPER 9
The City has been successful in obtaining grants and identifying other funds to commit to Consolidated Plan priorities for capital improvement projects. CDBG funding was utilized to complete the Collier Park Phase 2 project design, which in turn allowed the City to seek and obtain construction funding from multiple sources, notably $3 million in State Parks and Recreation funding and Proposition 68 funds. Furthermore, CDBG closed a significant funding gap for construction, without which the project would not have been able to move forward. La Mesa Park & Recreation funds were used to resurface the tennis court in Collier Park and restripe it for dual use as a pickleball court. Collier Park is publicly owned land located within the Jurisdiction of the City of La Mesa.

Public services subrecipients used private and other funds to leverage the City's CDBG Program funds. CSA coordinates Fair Housing services for multiple local jurisdictions and pools resources towards that use, which allows CSA to expand the scale of its work and more efficiently respond to the community.

Discuss the differences between goals and outcomes, as well as the problems encountered in meeting these goals.

The City's affordable housing objective is to provide homeownership opportunities through a Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance (DCCA) Program using HOME funds available through the County HOME Consortium. Prior to July 1, 2014, the City of La Mesa received an annual allocation of HOME funds for affordable housing activities. Under revised, more restrictive HUD regulations governing the use of HOME funds, the County now retains an entire HOME allocation awarded to the Consortium. It delivers funds directly to beneficiaries on a firstcome, first-served basis from any of the Consortium member jurisdictions. There were no firsttime homebuyers in La Mesa assisted through the HOME Program in 2024-2025.

In the past, the San Diego Housing Commission administered a first-time homebuyer program for La Mesa residents, and a number of loans to La Mesa households under both the former and current programs remain outstanding. Homebuyer assistance is now available to La Mesa residents through San Diego County Housing and Community Development. The City also issued loans to lower-income homeowners through a CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program, of which four (4) loans are outstanding. The remaining balance of the Housing Rehabilitation loans is $117,017.

Due to limited funding, the City no longer provides rehabilitation assistance as part of the CDBG program. The City's Consolidated Plan identifies "Conserve the Housing Stock" and "Homeless Services" as low-priority needs to be programmed as funds become available.

Leveraging CDBG funds, La Mesa was provided with the additional resources to assist with its homeless population. Our HOME team was able to assist more people this year than they did in the previous fiscal year. The HOME team was able to secure 48 individuals with temporary or permanent housing.

Although CDBG funds were not directly used, the former police station was sold and facilitated the development of affordable housing consistent with the policies of the City's adopted General Plan, Redevelopment Plan, and Housing Element. All units are deed-restricted to income ranges from 30% to 70% of the area median income. The construction and move-in process of the 147-unit development was completed in this planning year.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The City remains committed to continuing the Consolidated Plan policy of using CDBG funding for affordable housing and public improvements that benefit lower-income neighborhoods or special needs populations. At the current funding levels, this is the most efficient and effective strategy to leverage multiple funding sources, as described in Section CR-15, and to complete activities.

Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each Activity, where information on income by family size is required to determine eligibility for the Activity.

Narrative Information
HOME funding received through the County HOME Consortium is committed to this Activity, and in 2024, the City renewed participation in the San Diego HOME Consortium through 2026— the County contracts with the San Diego Housing Commission to provide the program in La Mesa.

The City's effort to conserve the existing supply of affordable housing includes several activities that are not funded through CDBG or HOME. The most important of these activities is the code enforcement program to ensure the quality of the rental housing stock. This program operates on a complaint basis as well as proactively through the Crime-Free Multi-family Housing Program.

The site of the former Police Department headquarters in the Downtown Village is ideally located for affordable housing. Redevelopment Agency housing set-aside funds were used to acquire the 1.27-acre site for housing. In 2019, the City circulated a request for developer qualifications for an affordable multi-family residential project, and in December 2021, a 100 percent affordable development consisting of 147 deed-restricted units was approved.

Construction was completed in early 2025, and move-in began in the Summer of 2025. Grand opening and final move-in dates are set for Fall of 2025.

The State of California's Density Bonus regulations encourage new affordable housing. In 2017, the City adopted an Affordable Homes Bonus Program to implement the Density Bonus regulations. This option has proven very popular with developers seeking to maximize residential density, particularly in urbanized areas and along transit corridors.

In 2023, the City adopted regulations to implement a State Law that allows for two-unit residential development and urban lot splits into single-family zones. The new rules supplement existing accessory dwelling unit (ADU) policies, which, when taken together, provide multiple options for adding density to single-family and multi-family residential sites. These policies are crucial to meeting the demand for affordable housing in densely populated areas, such as La Mesa. In 2024, the City issued a total of 135 new building permits for ADUs. The City of La Mesa also continues to offer a waiver of up to $2,000 on permit fees, and in 2024, issued a total of $268,683 in waivers.

Rental assistance is provided to low-income families through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, managed by the County of San Diego's Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Each year, the County reports the status of the program to the City of La Mesa. HCD reports that reduced Section 8 funding from HUD and an increase in the per-unit payment standards have affected the ability to meet demand. This year, 621 households are participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program. As shown in Table 9.

Evaluate the Jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of La Mesa participates in the Regional Continuum of Care Council (RCCC), comprising 18 cities, the County of San Diego, non-profit service providers, and stakeholders.

The RCCC merged with the Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH). RTFH is the regional Continuum of Care – designated Collaborative Applicant for HUD's CoC Program Find.

The RTFH coordinates and oversees the application process and develops and vets programs to address homelessness issues in the region. In delivering homeless services, the RTFH follows the continuum of care model that includes the following components: Outreach, Intake Assessment, Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, Permanent supportive housing, Permanent housing, and Employment supportive services.

The RTFH also oversees the collection of regional homeless data (through a contract with the Regional Task Force on the Homeless, which serves as a clearinghouse for regional information on homeless data and resources), identifies gaps in services, and leads strategic planning initiatives to move people from homelessness to permanent housing. The City will continue to work with the RTFH as staffing and resources allow, to provide support services and apply for funding to address (and end) homelessness in our region.

In recent years, the number of unhoused individuals present in public spaces has increased as a result of a lack of affordable housing and a lack of services to serve vulnerable populations.

Despite a relatively strong local economy, homelessness continues to be present in the community. The pandemic significantly affected vulnerable populations, such as people experiencing homelessness.

The annual unsheltered Point-In-Time count was conducted by the Regional Taskforce on the Homeless, the region's Continuum of Care, in January 2025. The number of homeless in the community has remained fairly constant over the past two years, as shown in the 2025 Point in Time Count results table below.

In recent years, La Mesa, along with the City of Vista and Townspeople, was awarded a total of $1.5 million ($336,809.25 directly to La Mesa) from RTFH as a result of an October 2023 grant funding application. In November 2023, the City received notification that the application had been deferred and that the RTFH staff would like to discuss other options to leverage available resources. Through those discussions, the City was able to develop a joint application for funding with Townspeople and the City of Vista. The funding will be used to create a Shared Housing Collaborative Pilot Program to house 60 people.

The Shared Housing Collaborative Pilot Program lends itself as a place where we can learn how to more effectively and expeditiously use master leasing and shared housing to facilitate faster movement of individuals from homelessness into housing. We propose to identify people experiencing homelessness who are willing to move into shared market-rate rentals throughout the City of La Mesa, the City of Vista, and other communities within San Diego County.

The proposed Pilot will establish a Master Leasing program that will provide housing for people experiencing chronic and acute needs (physical health and mental health) and offer a safe place to reside, increasing access to address other immediate needs. Master leasing can help reduce the 24/7 stress that comes with living on the streets and provides unsheltered community members with the opportunity to be in a safe place from which to prioritize seeking medical care.

Allowing a public or homeless service agency to master lease units can eliminate barriers associated with discrimination and increase access to affordable housing. The most significant barrier for housing service providers is access to affordable housing. By utilizing existing housing stock, housing placement bottlenecks will decrease. Additionally, there is potential for matching housemates for shared housing. Shared housing not only lowers the cost of living but can have a positive impact on well-being through increased social connectedness and support for formerly homeless tenants - raising the likelihood of housing retention.

Page 80 of 258 ends

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CAPER 14
All elements noted under Shared Housing (i.e., Property Owner Engagement, Flexible Funding, Strategic Messaging, and Supportive Services) are applicable to the Master Leasing component of the Pilot. The funding will cover the cost of rent plus outreach, temporary shelter/motel expenses, housing navigation, transportation assistance, move-in kits, rental assistance, household furnishings, and stabilization services.

The Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) Team is an initiative of the City of La Mesa and the La Mesa Police Department (LMPD). The HOME Team provides a housingfirst and trauma-informed approach to addressing homelessness in La Mesa. The HOME Team utilizes progressive engagement and harm reduction to assist individuals who are unable to access homeless services on their own. The HOME team responds to non-emergency situations.

The City of La Mesa employs a housing-first and trauma-informed approach that uses progressive engagement and harm reduction to assist individuals who are unable to access homeless services on their own. The HOME Team served a total of 365 clients during the program year and provided over 1,602 instances of Service. Additionally, the HOME team received over 2,007 service calls.

All clients receive services in accordance with local public health guidelines, including hygiene supplies and personal protective equipment such as face masks and hand sanitizer. All clients receive food, water, or other nutritional services. In some instances, accommodation is provided in short-term bridge housing, and direct financial assistance is provided for vehicle repair or the securement of new rental units. Clients receive transportation assistance for apartment viewings, shelter stays, program intake interviews, and other critical appointments via ridesharing service. The HOME Team also assists with acquiring and identifying documentation, a critical necessity for housing placement.

Addressing the emergency shelter and traditional housing needs of homeless people As mentioned above, numerous service providers and city staff assist homeless individuals and families living in La Mesa with outreach services. These services include obtaining affordable housing, finding residential substance abuse treatment centers, providing supportive housing for individuals with special needs, and offering emergency shelter in surrounding cities.

The strategy outlined above is a comprehensive approach toward the goal of transitioning individuals and families experiencing homelessness into temporary and permanent housing.

During the PY 2024, a total of 33 households (48 people) left the HOME program for a temporary or permanent placement. A total of 9 households (11 people) exited to temporary housing, defined as emergency shelter, transitional housing, or other locations that provide housing/shelter without tenure. A total of 24 households (37 people) transitioned to permanent housing, as defined by a leased unit meeting HUD's occupancy standards with or without supportive services, such as mental health counseling.

Housing matches provided through the Coordinated Entry System (CES) are a crucial part of the process for 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 its best to help a client connect with the housing provider to complete the housing process. During this planning year, the HOME Team received 35 housing matches. Connecting people to housing without matches remains a significant challenge for the HOME Team.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care, and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

In FY 2024 - 2025, the City worked to expand and conserve its affordable housing inventory, especially affordable rental housing that benefits extremely low and low-income households that are most at risk of becoming homeless.

The RTFH also works closely with hospitals in the region to address their discharge policies and avoid discharging patients into homelessness.

The City made referrals to service-providing partners for rental assistance, job placement, intensive case management, and supportive services during the program year.

The Center for Social Advocacy (CSA), the City's fair housing service provider, has been responding to a high number of inquiries from residents related to rental issues. However, CSA reports that La Mesa residents have not been as concerned about rent moratoriums as residents of other jurisdictions. CSA also assists in dispute resolution between tenants and housing providers.

In the East County region, Home Start, Inc., Crisis House, East County Transitional Living Center, Interfaith Shelter, People Assisting the Homeless, and CSA offer a variety of services that assist individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless. Other community partners include churches, mental health service providers, and schools. The City is also an active member of the Regional Task Force as well as the East County Task Force on the Homeless.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

La Mesa adopts a housing-first approach to reducing homelessness in the community. The HOME team maintains frequent contact with homeless individuals and families.

Regionally, the Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH) coordinates efforts to address homelessness in San Diego County as the HUD-designated Continuum of Care. The RTFH manages the application for, receipt, and distribution of federal and other grant funds, including the Homeless Super Notice of Funding Availability. The RTFH coordinates services and funding for people without homes to move people from homelessness to permanent housing.

Chronically homeless persons require rehabilitation services, employment training and placement, health services, and case management to move from homelessness to transitional housing and supportive/permanent housing. The City supports the RTFH's strategy for constructing housing facilities that help transition chronically homeless persons to a stable housing situation and receive supportive services to improve their employment skills.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing, such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) The City has little influence over market constraints but can provide incentives or assistance to overcome those impacts. Significant potential governmental constraints to affordable housing development may include land use policies governed by the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan, zoning and development codes, development and planning fees imposed by the City, and growth management policies.

The State of California has been aggressive in adopting new legislation requiring local cities and counties to provide more affordable housing and to relax development standards for accessory dwelling units. The City has adopted a Housing Element that identifies sufficient capacity to accommodate a Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 3,797 units over an 8-year planning period. The Housing Element is a State-mandated policy component of each City's General Plan. It provides direction for the implementation of programs to meet existing and projected future housing needs for all income levels within the City. The Housing Element identifies actions the City will take to accommodate growth, encourage the development of new housing units, preserve existing housing stock, and provide assistance to support the existing population.

Accessory dwelling units are an underutilized form of affordable housing and are crucial to meeting the demand for affordable housing in densely developed areas, such as La Mesa. In 2020, the City adopted new accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) ordinances that provide parking and building setback reductions, as well as other incentives, to encourage the development of new ADUs. The City also waives sewer connection fees for all deed-restricted units, as well as sewer connection and park impact fees for all units

Page 83 of 258 ends

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CAPER 17
in 100% deed-restricted affordable projects. The City also subsidizes the first $2,000 in permit fees for ADUs and has developed an ADU Guidebook to aid homeowners interested in building on their property. Additionally, published preapproved ADU plans and continues to accept preapproved plans from other cities to assist La Mesa residents in expediting the process.

In January 2022, the City adopted new regulations implementing CA Senate Bill No. 9, which provides for two-unit residential development in single-family zones. The additional density is allowed through a ministerial process and can also be accomplished by a lot split.

The State's Density Bonus regulations encourage the development of new affordable housing.

In 2017, the City adopted an Affordable Homes Bonus Program (AHBP) to implement those regulations. The AHBP streamlines development review and incentivizes projects that maximize residential density, particularly those located along transit corridors.

The City's Mixed Use Overlay Zone (MUOZ) facilitates the development of moderate-income housing by providing areas where higher-density housing is allowed—the MUOZ clusters pedestrian-friendly development along existing transit corridors.

The City of La Mesa works to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impact of efforts to protect public health and safety by reducing costs or providing offsetting financial incentives to assist in producing safe, high-quality, affordable housing.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) According to the US Census and American Community Survey data, approximately 17% of La Mesa residents are senior citizens. As a group, La Mesa's seniors are more likely to be lower income, have difficulties with managing housing, and struggle to meet the demands of daily living. The City operates a successful Adult Enrichment Center that provides a broad range of individual and group services and activities, as well as access to other community resources and agencies serving older adults.

In 2019, the City adopted a Livable La Mesa project through AARP's Livable Communities Initiative, with support from the San Diego Foundation Age-Friendly Communities Program.

This initiative is an affiliate of the World Health Organization's Global Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, an international effort launched in 2006 to help cities prepare for their own and the world's growing population of older adults. AARP's Network of Age-Friendly Communities targets improvements in eight domains that influence the health and quality of life of older adults. The project culminates in the development of an Action Plan to identify steps needed to help make La Mesa a more livable community for all ages in the areas of Outdoor Spaces and Buildings, Social and Civic Participation, Community Information, Housing, Transportation, and Health & Wellness. Implementation is currently underway.

Each year, the City undertakes repairs and improvements to public buildings, sidewalks, and traffic signals to enhance accessibility for people with disabilities. The program is supported by CDBG funding and other city resources.

One of the most pressing underserved needs in the San Diego region is affordable housing. A typical obstacle to meeting this need is the lack of land zoned for higher-density residential development. To address this obstacle, the City has adopted mixed-use zoning with a higherdensity residential component along transit corridors. The mixed-use zoning regulations apply to approximately 600 parcels with substantial under-utilized development capacity. Ten (10)

Page 84 of 258 ends

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CAPER 18
affordable housing projects are either underway or in the planning stages, which are along mixed-use transit corridors. This helps reduce automobile dependence and expands housing opportunities for seniors and lower-income households.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Lead-based paint information has been placed on the City's website, including the Environmental Protection Agency Lead-Safe Certification Program rules regarding residential renovation and links to the San Diego County Health Department's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. A countertop brochure provides lead-safe information at the Building/Planning/Engineering public counter at City Hall.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) La Mesa's actions have a limited direct impact on reducing the number of poverty-level families; however, it contributes to a more regional reduction in the number of poverty-level families by working effectively with other cities and community-based organizations in San Diego County.

The effects of the policies of the County, state, and federal governments have a significantly greater impact. However, the City continues to support the production of new affordable housing. Currently, eight private developers are planning new projects that include affordable housing units utilizing the state's density bonus program.

In addition, the City sponsors programs for special needs populations, housing, and community development. The City is pursuing an economic development strategy to retain and expand local business opportunities. This long-term project is aimed at providing a full spectrum of jobs in the community. These activities could have a positive impact on low- and very low-income households.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City of La Mesa strives to foster and maintain relationships with other agencies to establish an institutional structure that maximizes its resources. Many organizations play a crucial role in implementing the City's Consolidated Plan strategy and the component Annual Action Plan (public agencies, non-profit organizations, and private industry). These organizations include service providers for people experiencing homelessness, youth, elderly, veterans, and healthcare. La Mesa works with a variety of public agencies at all levels of government to further local and regional community development goals. These are summarized as follows:
• In 2023, the City renewed participation in the San Diego HOME Consortium through 2025-2026.
• The City of La Mesa and the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) continue to collaborate on enhancing the transit system and infrastructure in La Mesa. In partnership with MTS, the City completed a feasibility study for housing development at two underutilized trolley stations. A 100-percent affordable housing development is currently in the planning stages on one of those sites.
• The City is collaborating with local school districts to develop joint-use agreements for the use of school grounds and recreation resources. Construction was completed in 2018 on a new Boys and Girls Club in a joint-use park at the La Mesa Arts Academy (formerly La Mesa Middle School).

Page 85 of 258 ends

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CAPER 19
• The City continues to work with local school sites to improve the "Safe Routes to School" (SRS) infrastructure. State grant funding has paid for several SRS capital improvements.
• The City is working with the La Mesa Park & Recreation Foundation to fund ongoing maintenance and improvements in the City's park system. • The City continues to work with downtown businesses and property owners to reach a consensus on activities and improvements planned for the downtown area. • City staff assigned to CDBG Administration and the HOME Program meet quarterly with their counterparts in other jurisdictions. These meetings provide an opportunity to foster cooperation and learning between agency staff.
• The City participates with other local HUD entitlement jurisdictions in the preparation of periodic fair housing documents (Regional Equity Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, etc.).

Public agencies, for-profit, and non-profit private organizations all play a part in providing affordable housing, community development, and support services. No gaps in institutional structure have been identified. Collaborations among these groups have helped to enhance the coordination and delivery of services. The City participates in regional planning groups and forums to foster collaboration with other agencies and organizations. Through collaboration, the City identifies common goals and strategies to avoid overlaps in services and programs and identifies the potential for leveraging resources. To help bridge the funding gap, the City proactively pursues funding at the local, state, and Federal levels to leverage CDBG funds. For example, efforts to achieve a Housing Element certification from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) were intended to maintain the City's eligibility for State housing funds. Public/private partnership also represents an important strategy for bridging the funding gap and fostering collaboration.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City's Fair Housing services provider, CSA, responds to concerns from landlords and tenants.

Both City staff and CSA staff attend quarterly meetings of the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the Jurisdiction's analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) An Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) was completed for the San Diego County region in 2020. This collaborative effort represents the shared commitment of the communities within San Diego County to provide equal housing opportunities for existing and future residents. The Impediments to fair housing identified in the AI are addressed in the General Plan, with timeframes for completion. Impediments will be addressed through the City's planning process.
• Due to the geographic disparity in rent levels, concentrations of Housing Choice Voucher use have occurred.
• Housing choices for special needs groups, especially persons with disabilities, are limited.
• Enforcement activities are limited.

• Various land use policies, zoning provisions, and development regulations may affect the range of housing choices available.

The City has an established relationship with CSA to provide fair housing services on behalf of the City. This past year, the agency assisted 69 clients with one-on-one fair housing and landlord/tenant housing counseling.

CR-40: MONITORING 91.220 AND 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements.

Project monitoring is an important component of the implementation of the CDBG program. The City monitors all funded projects at least once each year. Monitoring of public service activities includes a visit to the office where the project is administered, as well as the site where the project is delivered. In alternate years, a desk audit is performed. For the program year 2024, City staff conducted a virtual monitoring. Capital improvement projects are managed by City staff and monitored internally. Financial auditing (single-audit) of federally funded activities is performed annually by an independent accountant. During the program year, no businesses were engaged using CDBG funding. No minority outreach was conducted. Staff annually reviews comprehensive planning requirements and policies to ensure ongoing compliance with the CDBG funding program.

Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports.

The Citizen Participation Plan was updated with the development of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. In following the adopted participation plan, the City provided the community with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on the performance report.

Per the adopted Citizen and Community Participation Plan, the City of La Mesa held two public hearings in order to obtain on February 27, 2024, and April 9, 2024. Together, the meetings and public hearings addressed housing and community development needs, the development of proposed activities, strategies, and actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing, and a review of program performance.

The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) had a 15-day review and comment period. The CAPER was noticed using the Citizen and Community Participation Plan. The Notice to the Public Review and Comment Period was published in the local newspaper, providing notice that the CAPER was available for public review and comment for 15 days—the notice provided for disability-related modifications or accommodations, as well as translation services. The notice was also posted in city buildings, on public notice display boards, and on the City's website. The website is ADA-compliant and features a convenient translation tool for content in any language.

2019 In program year 2019, design work continued on the Collier Park Improvement project and work began on installation of a new restroom. 2020 In program year 2020, the project design was refined in response to additional funding received and to changes in project construction costs. 2021 In program year 2021, the project design was revised in response to additional funding received in 2020. 2022 In program year 2022-23, Collier Park Phase 2 design was completed, grading operations were completed, and new restroom facilities installed. 2023 In PY 2023-2024 the Collier Park construction was completed. 2024
Collier Park Constructions was completed in FY 2023. Project Close began in FY 2024. Collier Park is the oldest of La Mesa's parks. Until 2017, the renovation of the "panhandle" entrance at Palm & Pasadena had not undergone any upgrade since the 1990s, other than resurfacing the 1950s court to add pickleball lines in 2014. The planned renovation of this neighborhood park is part of a long-term project to improve and update the park based on community input through a master plan started in 2008, and adopted in 2013, with additional input gathered in 2018. Surveys reflected a number of community interests, including tennis, playgrounds, safety, and pickleball. A number of funding resources from park development fees, Federal Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation donations (for the new playground), CA Department of Parks and Recreation Local Assistance Specified Grant funds, and CA Proposition 68 Land and Water Bond funds were used to fund this project.

The project included: replacing the restroom, court, and playground: improving the topography to improve park drainage, visibility, and creating ADA accessible access throughout the park: installing security cameras, lighting, parking, picnic shelters, pathways/sidewalks, and plazas: park drainage, and adding landscaping, including a mix of turf, trees, low water vegetation, and storm water quality features. To accommodate these improvements, some areas of the park will have a grade change from their existing levels.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: September 23, 2025
SUBJECT: TAX EQUITY AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT OF
1982 (“TEFRA”) HEARING FOR THE LEARNING
CHOICE ACADEMY – EAST COUNTY LOCATED AT
4215 SPRING STREET
DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ISSUANCE BY THE

CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FINANCE AUTHORITY OF

ITS CHARTER SCHOOL REVENUE BONDS (THE

LEARNING CHOICE ACADEMY PROJECT) SERIES
2025 IN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $25,000,000 FOR THE PURPOSE OF

FINANCING AND/OR REFINANCING THE

ACQUISITION, IMPROVEMENT, RENOVATION,

CONSTRUCTION, FURNISHING AND EQUIPPING OF

CERTAIN PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL FACILITIES

AND CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS RELATING

THERETO
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Finance Department
SUMMARY:

Issues:

1. Should the City Council conduct a public hearing under the Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act (“TEFRA”) on September 23, 2025 in connection with the proposed issuance of revenue bonds by the California Municipal Finance Authority (the “CMFA”), a joint exercise of powers authority and public entity of the State of California, in an amount not to exceed $25,000,000, (the “Bonds”), to finance or refinance the acquisition, improvement, renovation, construction, furnishing and equipping of certain educational facilities for a public charter school serving kindergarten through grade 12, including but not limited to classrooms, administrative spaces, related and appurtenant facilities, and

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 23, 2025
Page: 2 of 4
parking facilities (the “Project”) located at 4215 Spring Street, La Mesa, California (the “City”)?

2. Should the City Council adopt a resolution to approve the financing of the Project by the CMFA?
Recommendation:

1. Conduct the public hearing under the requirements of TEFRA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

2. Adopt the resolution approving the issuance of the Bonds by the CMFA for the benefit of Learning Choice Academy Facilities II LLC (the “Borrower”), to provide for the financing of the Project, such adoption is solely for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of TEFRA, the Code and the California Government Code Section 6500 (and following).

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal Impact to the City. The Bonds to be issued by the CMFA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, and the City will have no financial, legal, moral obligation, liability or responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the Project. All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will contain clear disclaimers that the Bonds are not obligations of the City or the State of California but are to be paid for solely from funds provided by the Borrower.

The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (the “Foundation”), acts as the Board of Directors for the CMFA. Through its conduit issuance activities, the CMFA shares a portion of the issuance fees it receives with its member communities and donates a portion of these issuance fees to the Foundation for the support of local charities. With respect to the City of La Mesa, it is expected that that a portion of the issuance fee attributable to the City will be granted by the CMFA to the general fund of the City. Such grant may be used for any lawful purpose of the City.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 23, 2025
Page: 3 of 4
BACKGROUND:

Resolution No. 2014-046 authorized the execution of an Association Membership Agreement between the City and the CMFA, and on June 19, 2014, the City joined the CMFA as an Associate Member. The CMFA has since contacted the City Clerk to request that the City hold a TEFRA hearing for a proposed tax-exempt financing project involving the Borrower (Attachment B).

The Borrower requested that the CMFA serve as the municipal issuer of the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000 (the “Bonds”) of tax-exempt revenue bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance or refinance the acquisition, improvement, renovation, construction, furnishing and equipping of certain educational facilities for a public charter school serving kindergarten through grade 12, including but not limited to classrooms, administrative spaces, related and appurtenant facilities, and parking facilities (the “Project”) located at 4215 Spring Street, La Mesa, California (the “City”).

In order for the Bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City of La Mesa must conduct a public hearing (the “TEFRA Hearing”) providing for the members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the Project. Prior to such TEFRA Hearing, reasonable notice must be provided to the members of the community. Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing, an “applicable elected representative” of the governmental unit hosting the Project must provide its approval of the issuance of the Bonds for the financing of the Project.

DISCUSSION:

The CMFA was created on January 1, 2004 pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement to promote economic, cultural and community development, through the financing of economic development and charitable activities throughout California. To date, over 350 municipalities have become members of CMFA.

The CMFA was formed to assist local governments, non-profit organizations and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds aimed at improving the standard of living in California. The CMFA’s representatives and its Board of Directors have considerable experience in bond financings.

Hello,
This is Jarod Suzuki with the California Municipal Finance Authority. We are a conduit bond issuer in the State of California and have been asked to be the issuer of tax-exempt financing for The Learning Choice Academy project in the City of La Mesa. Since this is a proposed taxexempt financing, a public hearing called a TEFRA hearing is to be held. I would love to connect with someone over the phone to help us get on the agenda for an upcoming City Council meeting to hold this TEFRA hearing. Please give me a call at the number below at your earliest convenience. Would anyone be able to give me a call at the number in my signature block?
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Jarod

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: September 23, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH ROGERS,

ANDERSON, MALODY AND SCOTT, LLP FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2025 AUDIT SERVICES
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Finance
SUMMARY:

Issues:

Should the City Council approve a resolution to authorize an agreement with Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP for the preparation of the fiscal year 2025 audit and waive the requests for proposal (RFP) process? Recommendation:

That the City Council approve a resolution to authorize an agreement with Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP for the preparation of the fiscal year 2025 audit and waive the requests for proposal (RFP) process

Page 115 of 258 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 23, 2025
Page: 2 of 3
BACKGROUND:

The City is required to have an independent audit of its financial statements each fiscal year ending June 30th. The purpose of annual financial and compliance audits is to test whether the City’s accounting records, and internal control systems provide the auditors, and readers of City financial statements, reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements are “fairly stated”. Accounting procedures are also tested to determine the City is following federal and other grant award requirements. The audit includes examining evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles and internal control procedures used, also determining the level of fraud risk in the City’s accounting procedures, to evaluate the overall financial statement presentation. Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP (“RAMS”) has been providing these auditing services for the City of La Mesa since 2011.

DISCUSSION:

RAMS has had satisfactory performance in providing financial audit services. They are very familiar with the City and its accounting processes, which is efficient when accounting records are current, and the closing of the books is done on schedule. RAMS is currently completing a citywide audit for FY2023/2024 under an existing agreement, with a final audit report expected in the next 60 days.

The City’s Purchasing Officer may waive competitive bidding, if approved by the City Council by resolution, when professional services will be provided by a firm who has performed equal satisfactory work previously for the City on the same scope of work, program or project area per La Mesa Municipal Code Section 2.40.070(a)(6). Approving of an agreement with RAMS for financial audit services will allow the City to meet our requirements. Under these facts, the circumstances are that RAMS can provide financial audit services; and, as such, staff recommend that it is in the best interests of the City to enter into a one-year contract for these services with RAMS without a formal bidding process.

Since the contract is greater than $50,000, approval is required by the City Council.

Staff will be conducting an RFP in the near future for auditing services for the FY 2026 through FY 2028 audit engagement period.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: September 23, 2025
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AWARDING THE PURCHASE OF A
FORD 350 HR CARGO VAN ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO SEDANO
FORD
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Finance
SUMMARY:

Issues:

Should the City Council adopt the resolution awarding the purchase of a Ford 350 HR cargo van electric vehicle for the Public Works Department to Sedano Ford?
Recommendation:

That the City Council adopt the resolution awarding the purchase of a Ford 350 HR cargo van electric vehicle for the Public Works Department to Sedano Ford.

Fiscal Impact:

The quoted cost for the purchase of the vehicle is $57,639.23 and funds are budgeted and available in Equipment Replacement Fund Account 603-1315-6585 ($53,900) and Park Maintenance Account 101-5150-6427 ($3,739.23).

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Invest in infrastructure to serve the needs of the community.

Climate Action Plan Reduction Strategy:
 T-6: Municipal Fleet Transition

Page 137 of 258 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 23, 2025
Page: 2 of 3
BACKGROUND:

The City of La Mesa’s Park Maintenance Division has a fleet made up of pickup trucks and larger trucks for providing services and moving equipment and materials around the City. These vehicles range from three years to eighteen years in age and all are gasoline or diesel-powered. This purchase is for a new 2024 Ford 350 Cargo Van to replace a vehicle that is 10 years old.

In 2024, the City Council adopted an Updated Climate Action Plan (CAP), which provides a roadmap to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions. The CAP provides a list of measures and actions, including transitioning municipal vehicle fleet from gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles to alternative-fuel or other low-emissions vehicles. The CAP Implementation Plan Measure T-6, Municipal Fleet, includes exploring opportunities to integrate alternative fuel options and more efficient vehicles, including hybrid, into the City's fleet as older vehicles become eligible for replacement.

The State of California’s fleet electrification regulations require that public agencies begin integrating zero-emission vehicles into their heavy-duty fleets. By purchasing an electric heavy-duty van to meet this requirement, the City will also remain eligible to purchase a conventional non-electrified heavy-duty vehicle, ensuring both compliance with state mandates and flexibility in fleet operations.

DISCUSSION:

The City received quotes from two Ford dealerships in San Diego County that sell to government customers and have supplied the City with vehicles in previous years, Kearny Mesa Ford and Sedano Ford, in lieu of conducting a formal bid process that may have required purchasing the vehicles from an unfamiliar dealer outside of our region. A third quote for comparison from the cooperative purchasing contract Sourcewell was not currently available. Sedano Ford in La Mesa can provide the van as specified from existing stock at the lowest cost.

The City’s Purchasing Officer may waive competitive bidding when the City Council by resolution determines that, due to special circumstances, it is in the city's best interest to purchase a commodity without compliance with the bidding procedure, pursuant to La Mesa Municipal Code Section 2.40.070(a)(7). Purchasing a Ford 350 HR cargo van electric vehicle will help the City meet its Climate Action Plan goals and will maintain consistency with the current fleet. By purchasing from a local dealership instead of using a formal bid process, the City can support the local economy while securing the vehicle more quickly and from experienced and reliable vendors in government/commercial sales. Under these facts, the circumstances are that Sedano

Page 138 of 258 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 23, 2025
Page: 3 of 3
Ford can provide the needed vehicle quickly and at a reasonable cost while keeping the purchase within the local economy; and, as such, staff recommends that it is in the best interests of the City to enter into a purchase contract for a Ford 350 HR cargo van electric vehicle without a formal bidding process.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding the purchase of one Ford 350 HR cargo van electric vehicle for the Public Works Department to Sedano Ford.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA MESA AWARDING THE PURCHASE OF A FORD 350 HR CARGO VAN ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT AND IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Mesa, California, that the City Council intends to award the purchase of a Ford 350 HR cargo van electric vehicle for the Public Works Department to Sedano Ford for $57,639.23.
