REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF A

REPORT BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REGARDING

COMPLIANCE WITH ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 13146.2 AND 13146.3 OF

THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Fire
Recommendation:

That the City Council adopt the Resolution acknowledging receipt of a report by the fire department regarding compliance with annual inspections pursuant to sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 of the California Health and Safety Code (HSC) Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the recommendation.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Maintain a community where residents and visitors feel safe.

BACKGROUND:

All fire departments providing protection services are mandated to perform annual inspections of certain occupancies. The occupancy types, and the requirements for inspecting them, are set by HSC sections 13146.2 and 13146.3. Mandatory occupancies include every building used as a hotel, motel, lodging house, apartment house, or school, as well as certain residential care facilities.

In 2018, Senate Bill 1205 added additional requirements by way of HSC section 13146.4.

This section requires every fire department to report to its administering authority annually on its compliance with these inspections. Additionally, this section requires the

Page 15 of 282 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: July 14, 2026
Page: 2 of 2
administering authority to acknowledge receipt of the annual report in a resolution or similar formal document.

DISCUSSION:

For Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26), the La Mesa Fire Department inspected 100% of all occupancies identified in HSC sections 13146.2 and 13146.3. In comparison, only 86% of identified occupancies were inspected in FY25.

The increase in completion rate reflects the changes to staffing in FY26. While the City of La Mesa holds two positions for Fire Inspector, for most of FY26 the City only had one inspector position filled. By the start of FY26, the City was able to recruit and maintain a second full-time Fire Inspector.

Additionally, the City Council approved the creation of an Administrative Analyst role for the fire department in FY26. The addition of another administrative position allowed the Fire Prevention Division to clear its administrative backlog. This position also identified occupancies that would be missed otherwise.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution acknowledging receipt of the annual report on inspections pursuant to HSC sections 13146.2 and 13146.3.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION DETERMINING SPECIAL

CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST TO WAIVE COMPETITIVE

PROCUREMENT, AWARD AN AGREEMENT TO

GAMETIME FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION

OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AND SHADE

STRUCTURE FOR AZTEC PARK, AND APPROPRIATE

FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
Recommendation:

That the City Council adopt a resolution determining special circumstances exist to waive competitive procurement, award an agreement to GameTime for the purchase and installation of playground equipment and shade structure for Aztec Park, and appropriate funds for construction.

Fiscal Impact:

No general funds will be allocated. Park Impact Fees in the amount of $241,305 are available from Fund 504 account 8707-6830.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 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.

BACKGROUND:

The La Mesa Park & Recreation Foundation (Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to fundraising and facilitating diverse projects and programs that enhance the quality of life in La Mesa and its parks. In alignment with the City’s Parks

Page 19 of 282 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: July 14, 2026
Page: 2 of 3
and Recreation Master Plan and the Foundation’s 2024 Strategic Plan, installation of new playground equipment and shade at Aztec Park was identified as a priority capital project.

In early 2026, the Foundation secured a unique, one-time pricing opportunity from GameTime for playground equipment, a shade structure, surfacing, and installation. This bundled offer provides significant cost savings and enables the Foundation to fully fund the equipment purchase in the amount of $161,788.79. The City’s contribution will fund site preparation, installation, and related construction costs.

GameTime equipment is already in use at several La Mesa parks including Jackson, Vista La Mesa, La Mesita, and Collier, and has demonstrated reliability and strong performance. The discounted pricing and the Foundation’s financial support create favorable conditions for moving forward with the Aztec Park improvements.

Per Resolution 2026-037, Park Impact Fees were previously appropriated to the CIP for playground renovations at Aztec Park. Approval of the GameTime agreement will allow these funds to be applied directly to construction and installation and may permit the City to redirect future-year CIP allocations to other park projects.

DISCUSSION:

Competitive bidding is required for construction projects; however, Section

2.40.070(a)(7) of the La Mesa Municipal Code allows the City Council to waive competitive procurement requirements when special circumstances exist and doing so is in the City’s best interest.

The pricing opportunity secured by the Foundation from GameTime constitutes such special circumstances. The discount of $131,271 provides substantial cost savings that would not be attainable through a standard competitive bidding process. In addition, the Foundation’s commitment to fully fund the equipment purchase further reduces the City’s financial obligation, maximizing the use of public resources.

GameTime has an established record of reliable performance at several La Mesa parks, which reduces risk and supports the value of proceeding under the offered pricing structure. Accepting the discount allows the City to advance improvements at Aztec Park.

If approved, construction could begin as early as August, following demolition and site preparation.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE DONATION OF THE

DOWNTOWN LA MESA DISTRICT SIGN, ANY

UNEXPENDED FUNDS FOR THE PROJECT AND

DESIGNATING THE FUNDS FOR FUTURE DISTRICT

SIGN MAINTENANCE
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
Recommendation:

That the City Council adopt a resolution to accept the donation of the Downtown La Mesa District Sign, any unexpended funds for the project and designate the funds for future District Sign maintenance.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the recommendation. Any future fiscal impacts would depend on maintenance needs for the District Sign.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 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.

BACKGROUND:

The Downtown La Mesa District Sign (District Sign), located on public right-of-way at the intersection of La Mesa Boulevard and Palm Avenue, reflects a successful public-private partnership designed to strengthen the visual identity and economic vitality of the Downtown Village. Initiated by the La Mesa Village Association (LMVA), the project aimed to create a welcoming community landmark.

Page 63 of 282 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: July 14, 2026
Page: 2 of 2
On December 14, 2021, the City Council approved the concept design and installation location for the District Sign. To support project fundraising, the LMVA partnered with the La Mesa Park & Recreation Foundation (Foundation), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which served as the project's official fiscal sponsor.

The LMVA and the Foundation established a formal partnership to guide the project's development and facilitate donation of the completed District Sign to the City as a permanent municipal asset. Under this arrangement, the City would assume ongoing maintenance and operational responsibilities once construction was complete.

DISCUSSION:

In accordance with the City’s Policy for Acceptance of Donations, donations of cash or items valued more than $10,000 must be accepted by the City Council.

The District Sign, valued at nearly $450,000, along with any unexpended funds, is recommended for donation to the City. Upon approval, full legal ownership, liability, and routine maintenance will be transfered to the City. To honor donor intent, the Foundation will transfer all remaining project funds to the City in a restricted account dedicated to ongoing maintenance of the District Sign.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to accept the donation of the District Sign, any unexpended funds for the project and designate the funds for future sign maintenance.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE AND

APPROPRIATION OF A GRANT FROM THE

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL TO CONDUCT A

LOCAL TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM FOR DUI

ENFORCEMENT BY APPROVING THE ADDITION OF
THE GRANT FUNDS TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
BUDGET
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Police Department
Recommendation:

In line with Vision Zero, staff recommends that the City Council accept and appropriate funds from the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant FY27, in the amount of $148,756.72, for the education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis and cannabis products, for overtime, equipment, and training expenses incurred during the 12-month program as outlined in this staff report.

Fiscal Impact:

Participation by the La Mesa Police Department will be limited to paid overtime for police officers and sergeants to conduct enforcement and educational efforts and for specified equipment purchases used in enforcement and community education against drug and alcohol-impaired driving during the 12-month period (FY27) of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.

Total costs are not to exceed the final grant award of $148,756.72 and will be reimbursed by billing the California Highway Patrol. The maximum amount that the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant FY26-27 would reimburse the City of La Mesa would be $148,756.72.

City’s Strategic Goals:

Page 71 of 282 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: July 14, 2026
Page: 2 of 3
 Maintain a community where residents and visitors feel safe.

BACKGROUND:

On September 25, 2018, the La Mesa City Council approved a resolution to adopt a Vision Zero plan to reduce traffic fatalities to zero in the City of La Mesa.

In 2023, the City was awarded its first CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant for FY24. Those funds were used to train 26 officers in Standard Field Sobriety Tests to better protect the community against drunk and drugged drivers. In 2024, the City requested the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund grant for FY25. During the FY25 grant year, the grant provided extra DUI patrols and funding for the purchase of a marked black and white police vehicle and other enforcement related equipment.

The City of La Mesa is a fully developed urban community comprised of residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, schools, parks, and transit facilities. La Mesa is intersected by major regional transportation routes, including Interstate 8 and several high-volume arterial roadways that accommodate both local and regional traffic.

Additionally, the City has five trolley stations that draw residents and visitors from throughout San Diego County. These transportation corridors and transit hubs experience high levels of daily vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian activity, increasing the potential for traffic conflicts.

Crash data from 2023 to 2025 show roadway safety concerns in the City of La Mesa.

Driving under the influence accounted for 1 fatal crash and 56 injury crashes, resulting in 1 death and 34 injuries in the past year. Alcohol involved crashes contributed to 25 injury crashes and 31 injured victims in 2023, 41 injury crashes and 58 injured victims in 2024, and 26 injury crashes and 34 injured victims in 2025, and were associated with fatal crashes in 2024 and 2025. Driving under the influence ranked number one as the Primary Crash Factor (PCF) for 2023-2025 data.

DISCUSSION:

To address these issues, grant funding was awarded to purchase a DUI enforcement vehicle, a billboard rental for public awareness and outreach, and preliminary alcohol screening devices.

Included in the grant funding is the reimbursement for four DUI saturation patrols and registration fees for officers to attend the California Narcotic Officer Association Annual Training.

Schedule A
La Mesa Police Department
The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.

Project Description
According to data from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the City of La Mesa consistently ranks high in both total and injury collisions and impaired-driving related collisions. Grant funds will be used to enhance law enforcement training and expand enforcement efforts within the City of La Mesa.

La Mesa has a high concentration of marijuana dispensaries per capita, with 14 dispensaries located within its nine square miles. This concentration generates substantial vehicular traffic as individuals travel through the City to purchase marijuana.

As incidents involving drivers impaired by marijuana and other substances continue to increase, the La Mesa Police Department (LMPD) has a critical need for specialized training and enhanced enforcement. It is essential that officers receive proper training to identify and enforce laws related to driving under the influence of marijuana. Currently, the district attorney's office in our jurisdiction recommends that arresting officers in DUI-drug cases be properly trained to support successful criminal prosecution.

Enforcement will be a key focus for LMPD. The department will conduct DUI saturation patrols utilizing roving patrol strategies to increase officer visibility and deter impaired driving. These enforcement efforts are intended to reduce impaired-driving-related collisions and improve overall traffic safety. Through collaboration with the community, LMPD anticipates that grant funding will enhance public awareness and strengthen public safety.

Problem Statement
San Diego County data indicate that public perception of the risks associated with marijuana use has declined over time. At the same time, a growing percentage of individuals are purchasing cannabis products through illegal sources and using higher-potency products and consumption methods, including vaping and dabbing.

Regional data also reflect increases in poison control calls, cannabis-related emergency room visits, and incidents involving individuals driving under the influence.

The City of La Mesa is an incorporated municipality in eastern San Diego County encompassing nine square miles and servicing an estimated population of 65,000 residents. The City is a fully developed urban community comprised of residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, schools, parks, and transit facilities. La Mesa is intersected by major regional transportation routes, including Interstate 8 and several high-volume arterial roadways that accommodate both local and regional traffic. Additionally, the City has five trolley stations that draw residents and visitors from throughout San Diego County. These transportation corridors and transit hubs experience high levels of daily vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian activity, increasing the potential for traffic conflicts.

In addition, the City of La Mesa has a high concentration of cannabis retail establishments, with 14 licensed marijuana dispensaries located within its nine square miles. This concentration increases vehicular traffic throughout the City and contributes to elevated exposure to impaired driving and traffic related safety risks.

The targeted population includes all roadway users in La Mesa, including drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and bicyclists, who are directly affected by the City's high rates of crashes. Certain groups are particularly at risk, including older adults and low-income residents, who may have limited access to safe transportation options, rely more on walking or public transit, and may be disproportionately affected by traffic-related injuries. Nighttime drivers, young adults, pedestrians, and bicyclists are also at higher risk for involvement in crashes, in addition, a high-risk area in La Mesa is the La Mesa Village, which is our downtown area that's contained within 4 blocks. This makes it a highly congested area and has a higher risk for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, including cannabis and cannabis products.

Crash data from 2023 to 2025 show roadway safety concerns in the City of La Mesa. Fatal crashes increased from 1 in 2023 to 3 in 2024 and remained at 3 in 2025, with fatal victims following the same pattern. Injury

Page 83 of 282 ends

Schedule A
crashes rose from 196 in 2023 to 209 in 2024 before declining to 154 in 2025, while injured victims totaled 258, 273, and 208 respectively. Driving under the influence accounted for 1 fatal crash and 56 injury crashes, resulting in 1 death and 34 injuries in the past year. Alcohol involved crashes contributed to 25 injury crashes and 31 injured victims in 2023, increased to 41 injury crashes and 58 injured victims in 2024, and remained elevated in 2025 with 26 injury crashes and 34 injured victims, and were associated with fatal crashes in 2024 and 2025. Driving under the influence ranked number one as the Primary Crash Factor (PCF) for 2023-2025 data.

Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
(10) PAS Devices: Preliminary Alcohol Screening Device for field analyses. (4) DUI Saturation Patrols (Q1=1, Q2=1, Q3=1, Q4=1): Aim to reduce DUI/DUID deaths by 10%, which will improve roadway safety in the community.
(2) Officers to attend the CNOA Training Institute: Training to occur during the second quarter of the grant. (1) DUI Enforcement Police Marked Vehicle: To support enforcement efforts and saturation patrols. (1) Billboard Rental: For public awareness and outreach of enforcement efforts.

Project Performance Evaluation
The La Mesa Police Department (LMPD) will document all completed training activities and submit required and quarterly reports to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). LMPD will collaborate with departmental analysts to monitor enforcement operations and analyze statistical outcomes related to marijuana-impaired driving enforcement. The CHP grant coordinator will track enforcement statistics and grant expenditures and will submit quarterly reports to CHP.

LMPD will utilize data from the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS), to monitor traffic collisions throughout the City of La Mesa, including collisions in which marijuana is identified as the Primary Collision Factor. This data will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program, and all statistical analyses will be retained and made available for review.

Program Sustainability
CHP Cannabis Tax funds from prior grant periods (2024-2025) were used to purchase essential equipment, which has been in active use since acquisition. During the current grant period (2025-2026), these resources are being utilized to support education efforts and enforcement of impaired driving violations. When collision data is made available, the effectiveness of the enforcement details can be measured against data from previous years to determine the overall impact of the program. Once there is no longer a need to conduct training or enforcement efforts, the request for grant funding will not be made.

Administrative Support
The City of La Mesa has successfully managed multiple grants in the past for a variety of projects. Our purchasing team is well-trained in submitting payment requests and managing funds through various grant platforms. Sworn staff responsible for grant administration have attended relevant workshops, including the implementation workshop for this grant. The OTS STEP grant, which funds enforcement operations, is managed by the Traffic Sergeant. The City has participated in the OTS STEP grant for several consecutive years without any funding being revoked and is also utilizing the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program for the 2025-2026 fiscal year.

The City has a proven track record of meeting grant requirements and benchmarks, including the 2025-2025 CHP CTFGP, submitting thorough and timely quarterly reports and successfully securing additional funding in subsequent fiscal years. LMPD has consistently demonstrated the capacity to operate enforcement details with adequate staffing. Officers from the Traffic Unit, Patrol Division, and Services Division regularly perform traffic enforcement details. All DUI Checkpoints and Saturation Patrols have had sufficient staffing over the previous grant periods.

Page: 2 of 3
Street is needed to support abandoning the portion of sewer main located on private property. The City of La Mesa assumed responsibility for working with the homeowners to construct these new private laterals.

RAND Engineering, Inc. was hired by Good & Roberts, LLC to construct the public sewer improvements, and the City of La Mesa entered a California Uniform Public Construction Accounting Act (CUPCCAA) agreement with RAND Engineering, Inc. for construction of the Jefferson Street private laterals.

The City of La Mesa required construction management and inspection services for the improvements. On March 19, 2026, Ardurra Group, Inc. was awarded a task order in the amount of $49,848 for the Garfield and Daily Sewer Project.

DISCUSSION:

The original scope of work assumed a construction duration of six weeks, and construction of the improvements took longer to complete due to the deep trenchwork and traffic volume on Jefferson Avenue and Garfield Street. Ardurra Group, Inc. provided a proposal for Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $26,268 for construction management and inspection services for the additional construction duration. The original task order total plus Change Order No. 1 will total $76,116. The City’s Municipal Code and Administrative Instruction F-13 require the City Council’s approval for professional services cumulatively over $50,000.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution authorizing Contract Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $26,268 with Ardurra Group, Inc. for additional construction management and inspection services required to oversee the improvements made to the public sanitary sewer system, and improvements to private sewer laterals known as the Garfield and Daily Sewer Project.

BACKGROUND:

The City of La Mesa maintains roadways on a 7-zone cycle. The selection of roadways is based on multiple factors, including average daily traffic, roadway classification, types of vehicle loads, paving history, and types of roadway deficiencies.

BACKGROUND:

The City is divided into seven maintenance zones. Annually, the City focuses on one maintenance zone and repairs trip hazards, concrete sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, curb and gutter, and other concrete infrastructure within the maintenance zone. Streets are then typically resurfaced with an asphalt overlay or slurry seal. The work under this agreement will be primarily concentrated on maintenance zones 2 and 3. These zones are in the northern and northeastern sections of La Mesa, bounded by the City of San Diego to the north, the City of El Cajon to the east, and the County of San Diego to the east.

The annual concrete maintenance project is a one-year contract with the option to renew annually up to a maximum of four years. The renewal option is based on satisfactory performance of work as determined by the City Engineer.

DISCUSSION:

On June 11, 2026, a notice inviting bids was advertised, and bid documents were distributed. On July 2, 2026, 12 bids were received electronically. The apparent responsive, responsible low bidder was identified as Miramar General Engineering with a bid schedule amount of $241,700 as shown in Attachment C – Bid Tabulation.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting Bid 27-04, 2026 Annual Concrete Maintenance Project and award the construction contract to Miramar General Engineering in the amount of $241,700.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF 2026 GENERAL

OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS TO REFINANCE
THE OUTSTANDING PROPOSITION D 2016 GENERAL

OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS AND RELATED

ACTIONS
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Finance
Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of its 2026 General Obligation Refunding Bonds, authorizing and directing the execution of a paying agent agreement, and certain other related documents, and authorizing actions.

Fiscal Impact:

This action is estimated to yield net present value savings of approximately $1.73 million (or 13.31% of the refunded principal amount), based on market rates as of July 2, 2026, and shortening the final maturity by four years to August 1, 2032.

Total cash flow savings are estimated to be $2.07 million. Savings are projected after costs of issuance and ad valorem property tax on hand. Bond refunding shortens the bond term by four years and results in future property tax savings for residents and businesses.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 5852.1, good faith estimates (obtained from the underwriter or the municipal advisor) must be disclosed at a public meeting before the authorization of the 2026 Bonds. The table below summarizes those estimates and includes additional information.

Page 123 of 282 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: July 14, 2026
Page: 2 of 5
*These are good faith estimates only and are based on market rates as of July 2, 2026. Final results will likely differ based on market conditions as of the actual sale date and other factors. However, for the financing to proceed, the not-to-exceed parameters described in the resolution must be met.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Ensure a strong financial outlook through careful planning, sustainable service levels, and fiscal sustainability.

BACKGROUND:

La Mesa voters approved Proposition D, the Fire, Police and Emergency Services Bond Measure, on March 2, 2004, with a 76.7 percent affirmative vote. The approval authorized the City to issue $25 million of General Obligation Bonds for needed improvements to fire and police stations. Proceeds enabled La Mesa to make enhancements to Public Safety facilities to include construction of Fire Station 11, retrofit of Fire Station 13, and construction of the La Mesa Police Station. The City issued two series of bonds, Series A in 2004 for $19 million and Series B in 2008 for $6 million, each with final maturities in 2039 and carrying an interest rate of approximately five percent for Series A and four percent for Series B. The original Proposition D bonds (both Series A and B) were General Obligation Bonds and were repaid solely from property taxes levied by the County of San Diego on all taxable property located in the City.

On October 25, 2016, the City Council authorized the issuance of $21.83 million General Obligation Refunding Bonds Series 2016 (“2016 Bonds”) to prepay the 2004 Series A and B Bonds. The Series 2016 Bonds were issued at a significantly lower interest rate than the 2004 Series A and B Bonds and shortened the final maturity to 2036 to provide long term debt service savings over the life of the bonds to the City's property taxpayers.

Proceeds from the issuance were used to prepay the previous Proposition D bonds. 2026 Bonds
Principal Amount: $8,205,000.00
Final Maturity: August 1, 2032
True Interest Cost: 2.87%
Finance Charge: $260,801
Amount of refunding proceeds received: $8,571,857
Average Annual Debt Service: $1,615,674
Total Debt Service Payment Amount: $9,680,581

Page 124 of 282 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: July 14, 2026
Page: 3 of 5
As of August 1, 2026, the 2016 Bonds will be outstanding in the amount of $12.985 million, with coupons ranging from 3.5% to 5%, and are prepayable starting August 1, 2026, without penalty. Therefore, staff is seeking to refinance the outstanding 2016 Bonds for interest rate savings.

On April 28, 2026, the City Council approved the award of agreements to a debt financing team consisting of Urban Futures, Inc. (financial advisor), Best Best & Krieger (bond counsel), and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (underwriter) for potential Proposition D Bond refinancing and property tax savings.

DISCUSSION:

This action by the City Council would authorize the issuance of the 2026 Bonds, hiring of the debt financing team, and the financing documents necessary to provide for the issuance of the 2026 Bonds. Certain information in these documents will be finalized after the bond sale.

The financing documents needed to complete this financing are included as attachments and are each briefly described below:
 Paying Agent Agreement - This agreement outlines the terms under which Zions Bancorporation, N.A. (“Zions Bank”) will serve as Paying Agent for the 2026 Bonds. This document contains the terms of the 2026 Bonds, including payment and redemption provisions, definition and pledge of revenues to pay the 2026 Bonds, rights and duties of the Paying Agent, remedies upon a default in the payment of the 2026 Bonds, and other provisions.  Escrow Deposit and Trust Agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) - This agreement outlines the terms under which Zions Bank will serve as Escrow Agent for redemption of the refunded 2016 Bonds from proceeds of the 2026 Bonds. The Agreement details the duties, compensation, indemnification, and replacement of the Escrow Agent.
 Preliminary Official Statement (“POS”) - This is the City’s document pursuant to which the 2026 Bonds will be offered for purchase by the public by the Underwriter. This document must contain all facts material to the 2026 Bonds and the City (with certain permitted exceptions to be completed in the final Official Statement) and must not omit any such material facts.  Continuing Disclosure Certificate (included in Appendix D of the POS) – This agreement by the City provides certain annual reports and the occurrence of certain listed events to investors in order to allow the Underwriter to comply with federal securities laws.
 Bond Purchase Agreement - This agreement between the City and the Underwriter (Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.) defines the terms and conditions under

Page 125 of 282 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: July 14, 2026
Page: 4 of 5
which the 2026 Bonds will be purchased by the Underwriter.

The resolution also sets forth certain not-to-exceed parameters for the 2026 Bonds, including a principal amount not exceeding $13.3 million, a true interest cost not exceeding 3.50%, and an underwriter’s discount not exceeding 0.50% of the principal amount of the 2026 Bonds. These not-to-exceed parameters are meant to provide some flexibility and cushion in case market conditions change.

If approved, the sale of the 2026 Bonds is expected to be completed on or about the week of July 20th, with a delivery/closing date on or about August 4th, and a redemption of the 2016 Bonds on August 14th.

Refinancing the 2016 Bonds through the issuance of the 2026 Bonds results in substantial debt service savings of approximately $2M that directly benefit residents and businesses.

By shortening the term of the refunding bonds by four years, ad valorem property tax levies used to repay the bonds end after 2032, four years earlier than if the 2016 Bonds remain outstanding.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT AND IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Mesa, California, that the City Council does determine and order as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings as to Issuance of Bonds. The above recitals are true and correct and this City Council determines that the prudent management of its fiscal affairs requires that the Refunding Bonds be issued for the purpose of defeasing and refunding all or a portion of the Prior Bonds pursuant to the Refunding Law.

SECTION 2. Approval of Paying Agent Agreement. The proposed form of Paying Agent Agreement which is on file with the City Clerk is hereby approved, and the Mayor, the City Manager, the Director of Finance, or their written designee (each an “Authorized Officer” and collectively, the “Authorized Officers”), each acting alone, are hereby authorized and directed, for and in the name and on behalf of the City, to execute

Page 129 of 282 ends

and deliver the Paying Agent Agreement in said form, with said additions thereto (including the insertion of the maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Refunding Bonds) and changes therein as the Authorized Officers, each acting alone, may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof.

Pursuant to Section 53515 of the Government Code, the Refunding Bonds shall be secured by a statutory lien on all revenues received pursuant to the levy and collection of ad valorem property taxes for the payment thereof.

The Debt Service Account established in the Paying Agent Agreement, all of the tax revenues, and all amounts (including proceeds of the Refunding Bonds and investment earnings) held in any fund or account established hereunder, are hereby pledged and a continuing lien and security interest is hereby granted by the City therein to secure, and constitute a trust fund for, the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds. This pledge (i) shall constitute a first lien on the Debt Service Account, the tax revenues, and amounts in such funds or accounts, (ii) shall be valid and binding from and after the date hereof without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and (iii) shall be irrevocable until all of the Refunding Bonds are no longer Outstanding.

It is the intention of the City that (i) for purposes of 11 U.S.C. § 902(2)(E), the tax revenues constitute “taxes specifically levied to finance one or more projects or systems” of the City and are not “general property, sales or income taxes levied to finance the general purposes of” the City, (ii) the pledge of the tax revenues constitutes a pledge of “special revenues” for purposes of 11 U.S.C. §§ 901 et seq., and (iii) a petition filed by the City under 11 U.S.C. §§ 901 et seq. will not operate as a stay under 11 U.S.C. §§ 362 and 922 of the application of such tax revenues to payment when due of principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds. The City will not take any action inconsistent with its agreement and statement of intention hereunder and will not deny that the pledge of the tax revenues constitutes a pledge of special revenues for purposes of 11 U.S.C. §§ 901 et seq. In addition, the pledges in this Resolution and in the Paying Agent Agreement are agreements between the City and the Owners (and bond owners for which the Owners serve as nominees) in addition to any statutory lien that may exist.

SECTION 3. Approval of Form of Refunding Bonds. The form of Refunding Bonds set forth in the form of Paying Agent Agreement is hereby approved, and the Authorized Officers of the City, each acting alone, and the City Clerk, are hereby authorized and directed to execute the Refunding Bonds in the name and on behalf of the City and to cause the delivery thereof as provided for below.

SECTION 4. Sale and Issuance of Refunding Bonds. The City Council hereby approves the issuance and sale of the Bonds by negotiation with the Underwriter. The Bond Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the City agrees to sell the Refunding Bonds to the Underwriter, and the Underwriter agrees to purchase the Refunding Bonds from the City, is hereby approved, provided that (a) the true interest cost of the Refunding Bonds shall not exceed 3.50%; (b) the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds shall not exceed $13,300,000; (c) the discount at which the Underwriter purchases all of the Refunding Bonds shall not be greater than an amount equal to 0.5% (exclusive of original

Page 130 of 282 ends

issue discount) of the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds, and (d) the final maturity date of the Refunding Bonds shall not be later than the final maturity date of the Prior Bonds. The Authorized Officers, each acting alone, are hereby authorized and directed, for and in the name and on behalf of the City, to execute and deliver the Bond Purchase Agreement in the form on file with the City Clerk, with said additions thereto (including the insertion of the maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds) and changes therein as the Authorized Officers, each acting alone, may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof. The City Council further approves the issuance and delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement.

A negotiated sale has been selected by the City Council because it offers greater flexibility than a public sale process in setting and changing the time and terms of the sale of the Refunding Bonds, in structuring the Refunding Bonds to meet the particular needs of potential investors, in enhancing the sale of the Refunding Bonds to local investors, in evaluating the benefits of bond insurance, and in providing greater assurance that the tax outcome will conform to the expectations of voters.

SECTION 5. Approval of Preliminary and Final Official Statement. The form of Preliminary Official Statement as presented to this meeting is hereby approved, with said additions thereto and changes therein as the Authorized Officers, each acting alone, may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof. The Authorized Officers are hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the City, to execute all certificates necessary to deem final the Preliminary Official Statement as of its date, with the exception of certain final pricing and related information.

The Authorized Officers are hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the City, to execute and deliver the final Official Statement. The use and distribution of said Preliminary Official Statement and use and distribution of the final Official Statement in connection with the sale of the Bonds is hereby ratified and approved.

SECTION 6. Approval of Escrow Agreement. The proposed form of Escrow Agreement to be executed and delivered by the City and the Escrow Bank relating to the defeasance and redemption of the Prior Bonds which is on file with the City Clerk is hereby approved, and the Authorized Officers, each acting alone, are hereby authorized and directed, for and in the name and on behalf of the City, to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement in said form, with said additions thereto and changes therein as the Authorized Officers, each acting alone, may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof.

SECTION 7. Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The proposed form of Continuing Disclosure Certificate to be executed and delivered by the City, for the benefit of the owners of the Refunding Bonds and in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended which is on file with the City Clerk is hereby approved, and the Authorized Officers, each acting alone, are hereby authorized and directed, for and in the name and on behalf of the City, to execute and deliver the Continuing Disclosure Certificate in said form, with said additions thereto and changes therein as the Authorized Officers, each acting along, may

Page 131 of 282 ends

approve, such approval to be conclusively evidence by the execution and delivery thereof.

SECTION 8. Delegation of Authority to Authorized Officer. The Authorized Officers are hereby authorized and directed to execute, sign and deliver any and all approvals, certificates, statements, requests, requisitions and orders of the City in connection with the sale and issuance of the Refunding Bonds, the purchase of the Bonds and the other transactions described herein. The Authorized Officers may authorize such other officers of the City as they deem appropriate to undertake any of the actions which he is authorized or directed to undertake pursuant hereto.

SECTION 10. General Authority. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed, jointly and severally, to do any and all things and to execute and deliver any and all documents which they may deem necessary or advisable in order to consummate the transactions described herein or to otherwise effectuate the purposes of this resolution, including preparing, or causing to be prepared, and executing all appropriate disclosure documents relating to the Refunding Bonds. Any such actions previously taken by such officers are hereby ratified and confirmed.

SECTION 11. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this resolution shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any remaining provisions hereof.

SECTION 12. Effective Date. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption.

EXHIBIT A

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES
Set forth below are good faith estimates of Urban Futures, Inc., the City’s municipal advisor, in consultation with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc, the underwriter for the Bonds, as required under Section 5852.1 of the California Government Code (the “Code”) for the City’s 2026 General Obligation Refunding Bonds (the “Bonds”). The following estimates have no bearing on, and should not be misconstrued as, any not-to-exceed financial parameters authorized by resolution.

Principal Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, based on the financing plan and current market conditions, its good faith estimate of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds to be sold is $8,205,000 (the “Estimated Principal Amount”).

True Interest Cost of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the true interest cost of the Bonds, which means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the Bonds, is 2.87%.

Finance Charge of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the finance charge for the Bonds, which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties (or costs associated with the Bonds), is $260,801.

Amount of Proceeds to be Received. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the amount of proceeds expected to be received by the City for the sale of the Bonds, less the finance charge of the Bonds, as estimated above, and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the Bonds, is $8,571,857.

Total Payment Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the total payment amount, which means the sum total of all payments the City will make to pay debt service on the Bonds, plus the finance charge for the Bonds, as described above, not paid with the proceeds of the Bonds, calculated to the final maturity of the Bonds, is $9,680,581 (excluding any offsets from reserves or capitalized interest).

The foregoing estimates constitute good faith estimates only. The actual principal amount of the Bonds issued and sold, the true interest cost thereof, the finance charges thereof, the amount of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from such good faith estimates due to (a) the actual date of the

Page 134 of 282 ends

sale of the Bonds being different than the date assumed for purposes of such estimates, (b) the actual principal amount of Bonds sold being different from the Estimated Principal Amount, (c) the actual amortization of the Bonds being different than the amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates, (d) the actual market interest rates at the time of sale of the Bonds being different than those estimated for purposes of such estimates, (e) other market conditions, or (f) alterations in the financing plan or finance charges, or a combination of such factors. The actual date of sale of the Bonds and the actual principal amount of Bonds sold will be determined by the City, based on the timing of the need for proceeds of the Bonds and other factors. The actual interest rates borne by the Bonds will depend on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. The actual amortization of the Bonds will also depend, in part, on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are affected by economic and other factors beyond the control of the City.

Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the City upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the definitive Bonds.

Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Paying Agent shall be canceled by it and delivered to, or upon the order of, the City. If any Bond shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the City and, if such evidence be satisfactory to the City and indemnity satisfactory to it shall be given, the City, at the expense of the Owner, shall execute, and the Paying Agent shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like maturity and principal amount in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen. The City may require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Bond issued under this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the City and the Paying Agent. Any Bond issued under the provisions of this Section 2.09 in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation on the part of the City whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with all other Bonds issued pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.11. Book-Entry; Limited Obligation of City. The Bonds may be issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond (which may be typewritten) for each maturity.

The ownership of such Bond shall be registered in the registration books kept by the Paying Agent in the name of the Nominee, as nominee of the Depository. The initial Depository is The Depository Trust Company and the initial Nominee is Cede & Co.

With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the Paying Agent in the name of the Nominee, the City and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to such Participant or to any Person on behalf of which such a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee, or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds,

10 (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other Person, other than as shown in the registration books kept by the Paying Agent, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, (iii) the selection by the Depository and its Participants of the beneficial interests in the Bonds to be redeemed in the event the Bonds are redeemed in part, or (iv) the payment to any Participant or any other Person, other than a Nominee as shown in the registration books kept by the Paying Agent, of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The City and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the Person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Paying Agent as the absolute Owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of matters with respect to such Bond, for the purposes of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever.

The Paying Agent shall pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Bonds, only to or upon the order of the respective Owners or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Paying Agent Agreement. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Nominee, the Paying Agent and the City of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions regarding the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds set forth in Section 2.02(e), the word Nominee in this Agreement shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository.

Section 2.12. Representation Letter. In order to qualify the Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry system, the City has executed, or shall execute, and deliver to such Depository a letter from the City representing such matters as shall be necessary to so qualify the Bonds (the “Representation Letter”). The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter shall not in any way limit the provisions of Section 2.10 hereof or in any other way impose upon the City or the Paying Agent any obligation whatsoever with respect to Persons having interests in the Bonds other than the Owners. In the written acceptance of the Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall agree to take all actions necessary for all representations of the City in the Representation Letter with respect to the Paying Agent to at all times be complied with. In addition to the execution and delivery of the Representation Letter, the City shall take any other actions, not inconsistent with this Agreement, to qualify the Bonds for the Depository’s bookentry system.

Section 2.13. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. The City may, by written request, at any time or for any reason, remove the Depository and appoint a successor or successors thereto. In the event (i) the Depository determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Bonds, or (ii) the City determines that the Depository shall no longer so act, then the City will discontinue the book-entry system with the Depository. If the City fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the Depository then the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the registration books kept by the Paying Agent in the name of the Nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names Owners of such Bonds transferring or exchanging such Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05.

(i) has been duly and lawfully adopted by the City in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, is authorized and permitted by this Agreement, and is valid and binding upon the City and enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (ii) will not, by itself, adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

In that case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and presentation of such Owner’s Bond for that purpose at the Office of the Paying Agent or at such other office as the City may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bond. The City may determine that new Bonds, so modified as in the opinion of the City is necessary to conform to such Owners’ action, shall be prepared, executed and delivered. In that case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bonds then Outstanding, such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the Office of the Paying Agent without cost to any Owner, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Bonds.
