Eagle Paving Company submitted the lowest base bid of $1,192,141 making them the low bidder. They provided all the required submittals and their bid was complete and error free, making them responsive to the invitation to bid.
Staff checked their references, past projects and licensing. Eagle Paving Company has performed many Public Works projects including slurry seals and asphalt overlays for local agencies including La Mesa, Encinitas and the County of San Diego. References provided positive feedback on their capability to successfully perform the work. Eagle Paving Company’s contactor license is current, active and in good standing. This demonstrates that they are a responsible contractor. State law dictates that agencies award public works projects to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder (if awarded), in this case, Eagle Paving Company.
Based on the project scope of work, staff recommends the following project budget:

Staff Contact: Ed Walton, Contract City Engineer
[email protected]
Item Title: Award of a Contract for the West Side Traffic Striping Project (Contract No. 2022-04)
Recommended Action: That the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment A) awarding a contract to Statewide Stripes, Inc., for the West Side Striping (Contract No. 2022-04) in the amount of $56,000.
Summary: The West Side Striping project was advertised utilizing the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting (CUPCCA). Three qualified firms were invited to submit proposals for the work; however, only one firm, Statewide Stripes, Inc. submitted a proposal. Statewide’s proposal was reviewed and found reasonable based on previous striping projects; their contractor’s license is current and active and they installed street striping and pavement markings for many local agencies in San Diego County.
Discussion: Pavement striping and markings are an important feature of the roadway system to provide safe and reliable guidance to the traveling public, and must be maintained to ensure their effectiveness. This year’s annual pavement striping for the western portion of the City and includes pedestrian crosswalks, lane lines and school zone markings. This particular project (all striping west of Lemon Grove Ave) has taken into consideration of most recent resurfacing work that included striping, and those markings are removed from this project.

Recommended Action: That the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment A) supporting SB 1338, Community Assistance Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court Program.
Background and Discussion: During the FY 21-22 priority setting workshop, the Council developed several goals to address homelessness. SB 1338 creates another regional tool to get services to unhoused individuals that need them the most.
State Senator Umberg and Eggman introduced SB 1338, the legislative vehicle that supports Governor Newsome’s proposal of creating the Community Assistance Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court Program to help address mental illness of those experiencing homelessness. SB 1338 would authorize specified people to petition a civil court to create a CARE plan and implement services to that individual. These services would be provided by county behavioral health agencies, to provide behavioral health care, stabilization medication an housing to support adults who are suffering from specified mental health disorders (schizophrenia spectrum and psychotic disorders) and who lack medical decision making capacity.
This legislation would provide individuals with a clinically appropriate, community based, court-ordered care plan that includes mental health and substance abuse treatment services. The legislation allows medical professionals, first responders and family members to file a petition for an individual suffering from severe mental health issues. If granted under a CARES court, the individual would receive clinical evaluation that could result in court-ordered mental health holds and the creation of a customized mental health plan. The court-ordered plan could require behavioral health treatment, stabilization medication and a housing plan. If someone were to not participate in their CARE plan, it could result in them being referred to a conservatorship.

CARE COURT
Governor Newsom’s Proposal to Get People with Mental Health & Substance Use Disorders the Support they Need
● Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court is a new proposal to get people with mental health and substance use disorders the support and care they need. ● CARE Court is aimed at helping the thousands of Californians who are suffering from untreated schizophrenia spectrum or psychotic disorders that too often lead to homelessness, incarceration, institutionalization, or premature death.
● California is taking a new approach to act early and get people the support they need and address underlying needs - and we’re doing it without taking away people’s rights. ● CARE Court includes accountability for everyone – on the individual and on local governments – with court orders for services.
SPONSORING NEW CARE COURT LEGISLATION
● In March the Governor unveiled the CARE Court framework, and engaged the public and stakeholders in community roundtables across the state and listening sessions with diverse stakeholders.
● Legislation was introduced by Senator Umberg, Orange County and Senator Eggman, San Joaquin County (SB 1338). Legislative hearings which started in April, will continue to engage the public - including people living with mental illness, families, local government, community behavioral health care providers, first responders, judges, and more - and further develop CARE Court. ● To meet the urgent needs for care and housing we see in our communities, families, and streets, CARE Court must be enacted by July 1, and local partners can begin implementation in the following months.
FOCUSING UNPRECEDENTED FUNDING ON RESULTS
● Behavioral health is now funded at a record $11.6 billion each year - up nearly 70% from $6.7 billion eight years ago. Funding comes from five major sources, including Prop 63 Mental Health Services Act, Medi-Cal and non-Medical Behavioral Health, and Realignment in 1991 and 2011. See CalHHS Funding Backgrounder for more details.
● Housing and homelessness investments totaled a historic $12 billion in last year’s budget. An additional $2 billion is proposed this year - with $1.5 billion focused on Behavioral Health Bridge Housing that will be prioritized to serve people in CARE Court. ● The Governor’s May Revision to the Budget will include costs for the new Care Court process, including judges and appointed counsel.
HOW CARE COURT WORKS
Updated April 25, 2022
Attachment B
CARE Court connects a person struggling with untreated mental illness – and often also substance use challenges – with a court-ordered Care Plan for up to 24 months. Each plan is managed by a care team in the community and can include clinically prescribed, individualized interventions with several supportive services, medication, and a housing plan. The client-centered approach also includes a public defender and supporter to help make self-directed care decisions in addition to their full clinical team, as well as opportunities for early engagement and settlement agreements for treatment plans.
CARE Court is designed on the evidence that many people can stabilize, begin healing, and exit homelessness in less restrictive, community-based care settings. It's a long-term strategy to positively impact the individual in care and the community around them. The plan advances an upstream diversion from more restrictive conservatorships or incarceration.
The CARE Court response can be initiated by family, county and community-based social services, behavioral health providers, or first responders. Individuals exiting a short-term involuntary hospital hold or a misdemeanor arrest may be especially good candidates for CARE Court. The Care Plan can be ordered for up to 12 months, with periodic review hearings and subsequent renewal for up to another 12 months.
CARE Court is based on accountability for all. Participants who do not successfully complete Care Plans may, under current law, be hospitalized or referred to conservatorship - with a new presumption that no suitable alternatives to community care are available. All counties across the state will participate in CARE Court under the proposal. If local governments do not meet their specified duties under court-ordered Care Plans, the court will have the ability to order sanctions and, in extreme cases, appoint a receiver to ensure services are provided.

Item Title: Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment ZA2- 200-0001 Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance
Recommended Action: Introduce for its second reading Zoning Ordinance Amendment ZA2-200-0001 amending sections 12.10.050(B)(3), 12.10.060(B)(3),
17.08.030, 17.16.010(C), 17.16.020(C), 17.16.030(C), 17.16.040(C), 17.16.050(C),
17.16.070(C), and 17.24.060(D)(1) of the Lemon Grove Municipal Code regulating Accessory Dwelling Units.
Summary/Background: This item was originally considered and adopted by a unanimous vote of the City Council on May 17, 2022. This is the second reading of the proposed ordinance (Attachment A). If adopted, the ordinance will become effective in 30 days.
On April 25, 2022 the Lemon Grove Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance and adopted Resolution No. 2022-005 recommending City Council approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment ZA2-200-0001.
The Planning Commission discussed the maximum allowable 850 - 1200 square foot size of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and recommended that the size of an ADU should not exceed the size of the primary dwelling on a single-family lot in Lemon Grove within the limits specified in State Law. Likewise, staff recommended a maximum allowable ADU size of 800 – 1200 square feet, not to exceed the size of the primary dwelling unit, to be consistent with State Law when using a percentage of the primary dwelling unit. The recommendation was considered by the City Council and adopted.

Summary: Recent State legislation (AB 3182, SB 13, AB 68, AB 881, AB 587, AB 670, and AB 671) has modified how and where cities must permit accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) within their jurisdiction. In general, State Law dictates that ADUs and JADUs must be permitted in any zone that allows a residential use by right or with a conditional use permit. Cities are also limited in the type of development standards and design requirements they may impose on ADUs and JADUs.
The proposed ordinance revises the Lemon Grove municipal code for clarity and to comply with these new statewide requirements. Specifically, the ordinance does the following:
• Changes the term used in the municipal code from “Accessory Residential Dwelling Unit” to “Accessory Dwelling Unit,” consistent with the terms in State Law; • Adds new definitions to the zoning code, including definitions for various types of ADUs, primary dwellings, and tandem parking;
• Clarifies ADUs are generally allowed by right as a permitted use; • Permits one ADU and one JADU on lots with a single-family dwelling; • Permits up to two ADUs or 25% of the number of existing units on lots with multifamily dwellings; • Specifies that no municipal code requirements can prohibit an ADU up to 800 square feet and up to 16 feet high, with 4-foot side and rear setbacks; • Requires owner occupancy for properties with JADUs;
• States that ADUs do not count towards density calculations; • Eliminates any minimum lot size requirements for ADUs; • Specifies requirements for existing structures that are converted to ADUs; • Provides standards for maximum unit size, height, and setbacks; • Specifies minimum off-street parking requirements and locations where no offstreet parking is required; and • Requires design compatibility with the primary dwelling.
Discussion: Lemon Grove Municipal Code (LGMC) Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance) currently regulates ADUs with development standards that differ from State mandated regulations.
Table 1 below summarizes the differences in the development standards between the current Zoning Ordinance and State ADU Regulations.

- Parking for ADUs shall not exceed 1 space per unit or bedroom, whichever is less; and/or
- For JADU garage conversions, replacement parking can be required
In addition to the development standards, LGMC Section 18.44.070 requires a minimum of 100 square feet of edible planting area or one fifteen gallon fruit or nut tree to be planted for each dwelling unit. The State ADU Regulations require owner-occupancy of one dwelling unit for a JADU, and a deed restriction that the JADU will not be sold separately from the primary dwelling unit. The ADU or JADU must also be architecturally consistent with the design and materials of the primary dwelling unit as specified in LGMC Section 17.24.060 B.3. The State mandated ADU development standards allow cities to have development standards that are less restrictive, such as floor area and building height. City staff has been utilizing the State guidelines for ADUs to date.

CITY OF LEMON GROVE
CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
Item No. 3.
Meeting Date: June 7, 2022
Submitted to: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Department: Community Development Department
City Attorney’s Office
Staff Contact: Bill Chopyk, Interim Community Development Manager, bchopyk@lemongrove,ca.gov
Kristen Steinke, City Attorney, [email protected]
Item Title: Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment ZA2- 200-0002 Density Bonus Ordinance
Recommended Action: Introduce for its second reading Ordinance 450 “An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Lemon Grove, California amending the Zoning Ordinance, Title 17, Section 17.24.100 of the Lemon Grove Municipal Code regulating Housing Density Bonuses in the City of Lemon Grove consistent with State Law.” Summary/Background: This item was originally considered and adopted by a unanimous vote of the City Council on May 17, 2022. This is the second reading of the proposed ordinance (Attachment A). If adopted, the ordinance will become effective in 30 days.
On April 25, 2022 the Lemon Grove Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Density Bonus Ordinance and adopted Resolution No. 2022-006 recommending City Council approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment ZA2-200-0002. The Planning Commission recommended the addition of Public Art to qualify for an additional five percent density bonus. This recommendation was considered by the City Council and adopted as a component of the amended ordinance.
Lemon Grove Municipal Code Section 17.24.100 “Housing density bonuses” is out of date and does not comply with current State Law. The proposed Density Bonus Ordinance would bring the Municipal Code in compliance with State Law (see California Government Code Sections 65915-65918 (State Density Bonus Law)).

Discussion: The proposed density bonus ordinance as adopted at the May 17, 2022 City Council meeting (Attachment A) updates the zoning code to comply with current State Law. The ordinance also specifies what type of information must be submitted to the City as part of a density bonus application.
To recap, recent legislation has made changes to the types of projects that qualify for a density bonus, and modified standards and processes related to density bonus implementation. Under the proposed ordinance, the following types of projects may qualify for a density bonus when they meet the requirements specified in the density bonus ordinance:
• Projects that restrict a portion of units to residents with very low, lower, or moderate income;
• Projects for transitional foster youth, disabled veterans, or homeless persons with very low income;
• Projects for low-income college students;
• Projects that donate at least one acre of land to the city for low-income units; • Senior housing developments;
• Senior mobile home parks;
• Projects that provide childcare facilities; and
• Condominium conversions that provide at least 33 percent of the total units to lower moderate-income residents.
The amount of the density bonus varies by the type of project and the number of affordable units provided within the project. The City’s density bonus ordinance grants an additional density bonus of five percent for projects that:
• Meet minimum height standards;
• Provide minimum common and private open space;
• Meet minimum landscape and water efficient landscaping requirements; • Provide minimum bicycle parking; and
• Provide internal walking paths and connections to pedestrian and bicycle pathways.
Under certain circumstances, the density bonus requirements may be met by providing affordable units off-site. Density bonus projects must meet certain design requirements related to the timing of construction of affordable units, the integration of affordable units into the project, the quality of the design and materials used in affordable units, project layout, and parking requirements. Rental units must remain affordable for at least 55 years.

In addition, State Law requires the City to grant concessions or incentives to projects that qualify for a density bonus under State Law. These may include reducing development standards or other zoning code requirements, approval of mixed-use zoning, or other modifications that result in cost reductions to provide for affordable housing. The number of incentives or concessions a project qualifies for is based on the percentage of affordable units in the project. The City must also grant a waiver of any development standard that has the effect of physically precluding an otherwise eligible density bonus project.
The action before the City Council is to introduce for its second reading Ordinance 450 “An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Lemon Grove, California amending the Zoning Ordinance, Title 17, Section 17.24.100 of the Lemon Grove Municipal Code regulating Housing Density Bonuses in the City of Lemon Grove consistent with State Law.”
Environmental Review:
Not subject to review Negative Declaration

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
The Density Bonus Ordinance is consistent with the Final Initial Study and Negative Declaration for the 2021-2029 Housing Element.
Fiscal Impact: None.

CITY OF LEMON GROVE
CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
Item No. 5.
Meeting Date: June 7, 2022
Submitted to: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Department: Finance Department
Staff Contact: Joseph Ware, Finance Manager,
[email protected]
Item Title: FY 2022/23 General Fund Draft Budget
Recommended Action: Review and discuss.
Summary: Attached is a draft of the City of Lemon Grove 2022/23 General Fund budget.
The purpose of tonight’s review is to solicit comments and discussion regarding the upcoming financial plan for July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. Any changes supported by a majority of the City Council will be incorporated into the revised draft to be presented at an upcoming City Council meeting.
Discussion:
Lemon Grove’s General Fund is the City’s primary day-to-day operating fund. Public safety, government administration, community services, street maintenance, environmental programs, and park maintenance are all funded through the General Fund. The City has other programs that are funded with restricted revenue sources. Those other funds, including the Lemon Grove Sanitation District, are not being discussed tonight. The other funds fiscal year 2022/23 (FY 22/23) budgets are scheduled on the June 21, 2022 City Council meeting agenda.
As discussed at the May 25, 2022 Budget Workshop, Lemon Grove receives less General Fund revenue per resident than neighboring cities, but faces similar rising costs for providing public safety, Fire, and other essential services.
Lemon Grove provides our resident’s with municipal services at a much lower cost per capita than our neighboring cities and nearby cities of a similar size. The expenditures growth has been due to contractual obligations for law enforcement with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the labor contract with the Lemon Grove Fire Association, and for general consumer price index (CPI) increases in most vendor contracts.
FY 23 General Fund Draft Budget
June 7, 2022
Page | 2
When the budget cycle began last year for FY 21/22, the City was concerned with a possible budget deficit until the recovery effort from the COVID-19 pandemic were realized. In June 2021, City Council adopted a FY 21/22 General Fund budget that funded fiscal operations with some one-time revenue funding sources and potential use of unrestricted reserves. The General Fund budget was revisited and updated mid fiscal year as the financial impact from the pandemic turned out to be less severe than initially anticipated. After the most recent budget update, the city’s financial outcome for the FY21/22 fiscal year will end with a surplus of approximately $1,700,000. This is contributed to staffing vacancies, carry forward of some uncompleted CIP Projects, and continued expenditure controls.
FY 2022/23 General Fund Revenue
The pie chart above shows the City’s estimated FY 22/23 revenue by source. Sales tax revenue is the City’s main source of revenue and is expected to grow 4 to 6% from FY 21/22 initial projections. Sales tax projections are based on trends by industry group.
Using guidance from the City’s sales tax consultants, HdL, the City has seen enormous growth in Autos & Transportation and Building & Construction industries. With economic factors of increasing interest rates and inflation, it is uncertain if this trend will continue, as the cost of money is more expensive and staff has chosen a more conservative approach to remain at the initial 3% projected increase prior to the surge, which amounts to $6,277,110.

Property tax revenue is the City’s second largest source of revenue and is expected to grow approximately 10% from FY21/22 or $3,505,749. As the cost of money has begun to increase, it is expected to see a decline in property sales, which will decrease legacy properties being reevaluated at current market prices which contributed to the increase in the baseline for property tax.
The City’s portion of revenue from the state in lieu of vehicle license fees continues to grow as well. The calculation is tied to the assessed property values within the City, so as property values grow, so does this revenue source. This is estimated at $3,330,719 for FY 2022/23
A few other revenue sources differences to note. FY 22/23 saw a strong increase from the Cannabis Business Tax. Staff is estimating $525,000 in revenue from the tax and the status of this revenue source can be revisited during the mid-year update. While this increased about 24% from FY21/22, recent changes in legislation that limited the state markup limit, revenue is still projected to be 16% higher in FY 22/23 than last year.
Additionally, the City signed a lease for an electronic billboard which adds a new revenue source of $325,000 in FY22/23. This lease extends for 20 years and has a built in escalator each year. Finally, there is a one-time revenue for loan repayment from the former Redevelopment Agency of $457,942. This will end when the loan is repaid.

FY 23 General Fund Draft Budget
June 7, 2022
Page | 4
The pie chart above reflects the draft General Fund budget expenditures by department.
The draft budget does incorporate known cost increases or cost decreases for existing services. The largest being the contractual 3% increase in Fire Personnel Salaries and a 1% increase to the Sheriff’s services, an increase of approximately $381.000. FY 22/23 is the final year in the current labor agreement with the Fire Association and a new agreement will be negotiated during FY 22/23.
The resulting estimate of expenditures is $17,436,016. This will produce a budget surplus of $105,887. While this seems small, it is important to remember that there is approximately $610,000 of carry forward that was approved and allocated in the FY 2021/22 budget for CIP projects that have not been completed and equipment where deliveries were delayed and expected in July or August. This can be accounted for in various way; however the carry forward expenditures are added to the FY 2022/23 budget and reducing the actual estimated surplus of approximately $715,000. This is important to remember, as adding items to the base budget, will appear to create a deficit budget, when in actuality, only increases over the $715,000 would be truly be expenditures pulling from fund balance.
The City’s insurance premiums for general liability and worker’s compensation coverage are going up 4% ($12,680 increase), and the premium for property coverage is estimated to increase up to $21,105. Additionally, most of the City’s existing contracts are requesting cost escalators on average of 4%, of which were figured into the base budget figures. Should for any reason these conditions change, staff will bring this item back to the Council.
The City makes two types of payments to CalPERS, a one-time annual lump sum for unfunded accrued liability (UAL) and a percent of payroll for active employees, with the percentage depending on which CalPERS plan they qualify for. In FY 22/23 the City’s UAL is increasing from $ $688,896 to $790,333, an increase of $101,437. Not all of this increase is paid by the General Fund because a portion is distributed the various funds they do work for, as identified in the 2019 cost allocation study. The table below shows the percentage of payroll rates for each type of CalPERS plan Lemon Grove employees are enrolled in. Again this year, the percent of payroll rates have gone down for a majority of staff (Miscellaneous 2nd Tier, Miscellaneous PEPRA, and Safety PEPRA members), but a slight increase for Classic Miscellaneous and Classic Safety members.

Community Advisory Commission
Mayor and Council activated the commission to review the General Fund and make recommendations for the FY22/23 General Fund budget. The Commission began meeting in January 2022 and went through an education period to learn about government financials and budgets. They also were briefed on the fiscal year budget projections.
During their tenure, they worked with city staff and went through priority exercises, similar to the ones the Mayor and Council did in their goals workshop. The results of their hard work is attached (Attachment A) to this report. The Commission Chair will also have a verbal presentation to the City Council at the June 7, 2022 City Council prior to staff giving its verbal report.
Requested Changes
There were multiple requests presented to Council at the May 25, 2022 Budget Workshop, some from staff and others from the Mayor and Council Goals Workshop. The breakdown of requests were as follows:
A. Purchase or Lease a new fire truck – a onetime purchase at approximately $650,000 or a Lease at approximately $125,000 the first year and $100,000 per year for the next 5 years, depending on interest rates and terms.
B. Adding a motor officer to the Law Enforcement complement for traffic and speed enforcement along with traffic calming, primarily in the residential areas. This cost would be increase the public safety contract by $233,000 the first year. It would then increase each subsequent year by the stipulations of the current contract.
C. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus equipment replacements at $35,000. This would aide in equipment rotation and allow equipment at the end of its useful life to be retired.
FY 23 General Fund Draft Budget
June 7, 2022
Page | 6
D. Provide a 3% Cost of Living Allowance for miscellaneous staff which would increase the General Fund budget up to $35,000. As a note, this would not include the City Manager, as that is a contracted position.
E. Increase the miscellaneous staff health benefits from $750 per month to up to $1,350 per month, increasing the general fund budget approximately $274,000 per year.
F. Increase time authorization for the Communications Officer from part time to full time. Related expense for salary and benefits would increase the base budget approximately $51,000.
Overall, expenditures in the draft General Fund budget total $17,436,016, a 4% increase from FY 22/23. The increase is mainly due to the increase in the Fire personnel salaries, the Sheriff’s contract, and projects carried over from previous years. One should note that expenditures for non-contractual services have decreased by approximately $10,000.
FY 2021-2022 General Fund Bottom Line
The General Fund draft budget estimates a bottom line to be balanced, subject to any changes prior to adoption. As a reminder, with the carryover of CIP projects from FY 2021/22, any costs added to this base budget in excess of $715,000 may create a deficit budget, as funding would be drawn from fiscal cash flow reserves. Staff will come back to Council by mid-year to update status on revenue impacts from economic factors.
Staff is requesting the City Council give direction to staff on which items to incorporate into the final draft budget. As a reminder, the City Council will be approving the FY 22/23 priorities, none of those costs have been incorporated into the budget presented tonight.
Those items will be part of the final draft budget.

Honorable Mayor and Council
City of Lemon Grove
RE: FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget Review and Recommendation Discussion:
Lemon Grove’s General Fund is the City’s primary day-to-day operating fund and was the sole focus in this year’s budget review process. Public safety, government administration, community services, street maintenance, environmental programs, and park maintenance are all funded through the General Fund. The City has other programs that are funded with restricted revenue sources. Those other funds, as well as the Lemon Grove Sanitation District, are not being discussed tonight, as their funds were not reviewed during this commission’s tenure.
In December 2021, City Council created the Community Advisory Commission, appointing three member to a three year term and adding two ad-hoc members for the FY 2021/22 year. The Council asked the Commission to participate work with City staff and review the FY 2022/23 budget process and make recommendations on the base budget and any adjustments they deemed appropriate.
On January 11, 2022, the Commission held its first meeting and began the tasks delegated by the Mayor and Council. Over the next five months, the commission participated in multiple tasks relating to the city budget. These included:
1. Education on financial and budgetary basics as it applies to municipal finances and budgets in the State of California
2. Discussions, education, and implications relating to municipal revenues and expenditures including:
a. Types of Revenues
b. Types of Funds
c. Operating versus Capital Expenses
d. Department Operational costs
e. Revenue Projections

g. External Forces impacting resources
h. Base Budgets

j. Staff Requests
k. Commission Expectations
3. Open discussions and exercises in priority of expenditures within a balanced budget
During this process the Commission had in-depth discussions with City Staff on revenue and expenditure forecasts and projects. Including the economic impacts and how they relate to these projections. With the new understanding of what it takes to operate a municipal government the commission set out to assist in making recommendations based on available resources and citizen prioritization of services.
Condensing five (5) months of work into a single report reduces the overall impact of the task that this commission tackled; however, the benefit it has had for the members and potentially the community is the beginning of a more participative and transparent budget process.
We anticipate this will be a full discussion for Council based on revised projections and what the City Council final goals and objectives look like moving forward to FY 22-23.
Commission Recommendation:
After having the opportunity to learn and understand an abridged education in municipal government operations and to participate in open discussions regarding the FY 2022/23 budget preparation, including base budget requirements, revenue and expenditure projections, and budget deficits and surplus, this commission considered the reasonability of the base budget to provide basic services to constituents and options for additional equipment or services under the Mayor and Council Goals and Objectives and Staff Requests.
Additional equipment and services included the primary items of interest from the Council Goals Workshop and the staff requests that were submitted during the budget process. These consisted of the following:

1. Fire truck purchase or lease
2. A New Motor Office for traffic enforcement and calming measures
3. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus replacements for the Fire Department
4. A 3% Cost of Living Allowance for miscellaneous staff
5. Building Upgrade for streaming Council meetings
6. A Streets paving hybrid plan for residential streets under 25PCI Additionally, Commission Members added creating a plan to open the recreation center full time through a phased re-opening plan.
In order to constrain options within the City’s budget and provide a priority based recommendation, a cap of $1M was used as available resources to allocate. As a result, the Commission came to consensus and reached the following conclusions and recommendation:
1. The base budget appears reasonable to conduct daily municipal operations for the next fiscal year.
2. Any projected FY2021/22 carry over and/or FY 2022/23 projected surplus could be used to fund the following items in order of priority listed:
a. Allocate $125,000 for the initial year lease of a new Fire Truck for the Lemon Grove Fire Department. This includes outfitting the truck with proper equipment to be fully operational. This cost should also be funded at of up to $100,000 per year over the subsequent 5 years or until the truck is paid in full.
b. Allocate up to $500,000 and direct staff to plan and implement an in-house Streets Hybrid Repair Plan for addressing the improvement of residential streets that do not meet the priority requirement of the Pavement Management Program.
c. Allocate up to $300,000 and direct staff to plan and provide Council with updated costs to open the Recreation Center with appropriate staffing and programs that benefit the Lemon Grove Community. The Commission expects this to be a phased plan due to constraints with regulation on hiring, background checks and expirations of current leases.
d. Allocating an estimated amount up to $25,000 of General Fund monies to fund a 3% Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) to miscellaneous staff members.
Fire personnel and City Manager are not included in this COLA, as Fire Attachment A

Significant Changes

Homeless Services MOU
June 7, 2022
Page | 1
CITY OF LEMON GROVE
CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
Item No. 6.
Meeting Date: June 7, 2022
Submitted to: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Department: City Manager’s Office
Staff Contact: Lydia Romero, City Manager
[email protected]
Item Title: Homeless Services Memorandum of Understanding Recommended Action: That the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment A) approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between cities in east San Diego County and the County of San Diego and authorize the City Manager to execute said Memorandum of Understanding or other instrument substantially in the form presented with such changes as may be approved by the City Manager.
Background: During the FY 21-22 priority setting workshop, the Council developed several goals to address homelessness. One of the goals was to explore regional strategies for services and housing to better address homelessness.
Martin v. Boise
In 2009, six homeless residents from the City of Boise alleged they were repeatedly cited by Boise police for violating two local ordinances. The Martin v. Boise case challenged the City of Boise’s enforcement of its Camping and Disorderly Conduct Ordinances against persons experiencing homelessness. The first ordinance made it a misdemeanor to use "any of the streets, sidewalks, parks, or public places as a camping place at any time." The Camping Ordinance defined "camping" as "the use of public property as a temporary or permanent place of dwelling, lodging, or residence." The second ordinance banned occupying, lodging, or sleeping in any building, structure, or public place, whether public or private without the permission of the property owner.
In 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (which includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) ruled that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if these do not have sufficient homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population. The 9th Circuit panel held that “as long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the Homeless Services MOU
June 7, 2022

false premise they had a choice in the matter.” The ruling, however, does not prohibit local jurisdictions from enforcing other criminal violations.
The Court’s decision was based on its interpretation of the Eight Amendment. The Court found that citations against homeless individuals without access to shelter met the criteria for cruel and unusual punishment. An anti-camping ordinance violates the Eight Amendment1 if it imposes criminal sanctions against homeless individuals for sleeping outdoors on public property when no alternative shelter is available. Therefore, it is imperative for local jurisdictions to provide shelter to enforce anti-camping ordinances.
In 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of the case, leaving the precedent intact in the nine Western states under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit.
For several years, staff from the cities of El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee as well as Lemon Grove, in addition to county of San Diego staff, have been meeting for the purpose of developing an appropriate vehicle for establishing collective methods for a multijurisdictional approach to homeless issues, and a memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been drafted (Attachment B). The MOU has been reviewed and finalized by the four cities and the county of San Diego.
Discussion: The proposed MOU establishes the foundation for a working partnership between the County and the East County cities to develop a regional network of housing options that would benefit all parties.
The proposed MOU does not create an obligation for any single party to site and build a project; rather it creates options for the parties to collectively evaluate potential sites and discuss shared bed space opportunities. The proposed five-year MOU enables cooperation regarding the following activities:
1. Identify potential locations for the siting of low-barrier emergency housing and facilities for associated on-site services.
2. Seek out the establishment of permanent, and permanent supportive, housing within each city in sufficient numbers to house persons identified as experiencing unsheltered or sheltered homelessness.
All projects, programs, efforts, budgeting, and entitlement actions are subject to the final approval or concurrence of the Lemon Grove City Council. As a result, no party or group of parties can obligate another to any course of action, location of facilities, commitment of funds, or otherwise remove a jurisdiction’s control over the program. 1 The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Homeless Services MOU

Roles and Responsibilities
As a significant provider of regional services, the County has agreed to take a leadership position on this issue. The proposed MOU creates the following obligations for the County of San Diego:
1. Identify potential locations for the siting of low-barrier emergency housing and facilities for associated on-site services.
2. Seek out the establishment of permanent and permanent supportive housing in sufficient number to house persons identified as experiencing unsheltered or sheltered homelessness.
3. Coordinate with other parties on determining the equitable financial share of any joint costs to develop services and housing through appropriate contracts with consultants based on formula of persons experiencing homelessness in each jurisdiction, availability of external state/federal resources, and other nonmonetary contributions.
4. Collaborate on homeless outreach and social work street outreach services by engaging, connecting, and referring persons experiencing homelessness for the purpose of providing assessment, support, and housing appropriate for the individual’s needs.
5. Work collaboratively with parties to the MOU to identify behavioral health service needs for those experiencing homelessness.
6. Administer federal, state, and local funded housing programs that are awarded to the County, throughout the region as dictated by each funding source in a manner consistent with the MOU.
7. Consider making surplus property in the unincorporated area available for the production of low-barrier emergency housing and facilities and consider means to streamline processes for zoning and/or General Plan Amendment(s) when possible.
The Cities collectively agree to undertake the following:
1. Support the siting of low-barrier housing and related facilities, including participating in a Request for Proposals process to identify a qualified operator.
2. Participate in ongoing data collection efforts; the information would assist the parties in making collective decisions regarding housing and service needs.
3. Identify potential sites suitable for emergency housing and facilities for associated onsite services. Site approval, along with any required entitlement actions, shall be subject to the final approval or concurrence from the Lemon Grove City Council.
4. Seek the establishment of permanent and permanent supportive housing within the City’s boundaries in sufficient number to house persons experiencing homelessness in Lemon Grove and provide a projection of future housing needs based on available data.

The MOU would enable the County and cities to more effectively address joint plans, share resources, and develop separate agreements to fund and operate facilities.
Conclusion: At this time, staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the proposed MOU. As noted, the MOU does not create specific obligations for the City to site and build a facility. The purpose of the MOU is to establish a cooperative regional framework that would leverage resources to provide non-congregate housing acceptable to the host jurisdiction. The MOU would further provide each jurisdiction with the ability to secure bed space for its homeless population.
Environmental Review:
Not subject to review Negative Declaration
Categorical Exemption, Section Mitigated Negative Declaration Fiscal Impact: There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Subject to approval of the MOU, the County and cities would cooperatively identify potential sites and negotiate the pro-rata share of one-time capital costs and ongoing operating costs. Any potential developments with a direct fiscal impact would be brought back to City Council for budget consideration.
Public Notification: None.
Staff Recommendation: That the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment A) approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between cities in east San Diego County and the County of San Diego and authorize the City Manager to execute said Memorandum of Understanding or other instrument substantially in the form presented with such changes as may be approved by the City Manager.
