Dear City Council Members,
Red Ribbon Week is celebrated annually October 23-31. It’s the nation's oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program.
Red Ribbon Week started after the death of Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who in 1985 was brutally murdered by drug traffickers he was investigating in Mexico. After his death, people started wearing red ribbons to honor Kiki's sacrifice.
Red Ribbon Week is an environmental strategy, which means it goes beyond schools, churches and other groups into the broader community.
It serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth regarding the harms and consequences of drug use, promote a drug-free lifestyle, and encourage the community to participate in drug prevention activities.
Alcohol and other forms of drug abuse in this country have reached epidemic stages, and it is imperative that visible, unified prevention education efforts by communities to eliminate the demand for drugs.
I urge the city to use Red Ribbon Week to create an awareness campaign that disseminates information to the general public about the dangers of drug use.
Drug abuse and addiction have far-reaching consequences that affect family, employment, personal health, health care systems, local communities, and society as a whole.
Thank you,
Barbara Gordon

Subject: New details show a sprawling web of corruption in Southern California cannabis licensing Date: Tuesday, October 18, 2022 3:41:04 PM
Good evening mayor Vasquez and council members, my name is Becky Rapp. I’m unable to attend tonight in person but as a public health educator, I’m concerned with the lack of prevention messaging of high potency THC marijuana products. It seems the marijuana industry has the ear of some cities as policy moves forward benefitting those profiting. Many local doctors working on the front lines of the mental health crisis have stated their concerns along with new, current studies that point to the detrimental harms high-potency marijuana can have, especially on the developing brain. Information that should not be ignored.
An article posted in the LA times Saturday titled, “New details show a sprawling web of corruption in Southern California cannabis licensing.” The article describes how California lawmakers called for a statewide task force to crack down on corruption. Details are emerging in a bribery scandal and pay-to-play schemes. The counties that have been investigated are the Inland Empire, San Gabrielle Valley, and Southwest Los Angeles County.
The article goes on to describe that in some instances, government officials took on dual roles as lobbyists or consultants for pot interests.
In fact, more than a dozen government officials statewide who received income ranged from thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands from marijuana companies or had interests in pot businesses while still in office.
In no way am I saying Lemon Grove is involved in backyard transactions with the marijuana industry but it is curious as to why policy gets approved to profit in the industry and the community voice along with local healthcare professionals seems to be ignored. Perhaps more prevention messaging and counter-advertising would be appropriate, sending the message that you’re listening.
Thank you

STAFF REPORT
Item No. 1.D
Meeting Date: October 18, 2022
Submitted to: Honorable Chair and Members of the District Board Department: Public Works / Sanitation Department
Staff Contact: Izzy Murguia, Public Works Director
[email protected]
Item Title: Award an Agreement for Sewer Root Control Services to Duke’s Root Control, Inc.
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution (Attachment A) approving an agreement with Duke’s Root Control, Inc. (“Duke’s”) to provide sewer root control services, and authorize the Executive Director to execute any necessary documents.
Summary: The Lemon Grove Sanitation District (“District”) sanitary sewer system is in need of ongoing maintenance. One vital aspect of annual system maintenance is using a root foam to eliminate roots that have infiltrated the District’s sewer main lines throughout the Lemon Grove city limits.
The District’s previous agreement for sanitary system root control expired June 30, 2022.
As an alternative to the formal bidding process for services, the Lemon Grove Municipal Code authorizes the District to procure supplies, services and/or equipment by contract or agreement “from a vendor at a price established by another public agency when the other agency has made their purchase in a competitive manner.” The City of Palo Alto recently awarded an agreement to Duke’s following a competitive bid process. The scope of work in Palo Alto’s agreement very closely matches the District’s requirements for root control service. District staff has determined this approach will ensure maximum efficiency and optimal pricing in chemical root control services.
Discussion: The District owns and operates a 68-mile municipal wastewater collection system. Within this system, root intrusion from trees occasionally blocks sewer flows and causes sanitary system blockages. To control root intrusion, the District treats its sanitary sewer system with approved chemical herbicide as part of its sanitary sewer maintenance Duke’s Root Control

program. The herbicide eliminates tree roots and prevents future root growth. Sanitary sewer line segments are selected for root control based on several factors, including:
blockages caused by root infiltration, video inspection, maintenance records, age of pipe, pipe material, and above-ground conditions, such as trees. Staff anticipates the level of service required over the initial term of the agreement to increase due to catching up on deferred maintenance from the past two years. Subsequent years will level off to prepandemic levels.
The chemical product used by Duke’s is deemed acceptable by the City of San Diego, which conveys and treats the District’s sewage, and is registered by the Environmental Protection Agency and California Department of Pesticide Regulation for use in sanitary sewer pipes. Additionally, Duke’s allows the use of District-owned equipment to work in treated pipes during its 2-year warranty period. Thus, the use of the District’s sanitary sewer mainline hydro jet-rodding equipment will not void the warranty. The warranty for work is very comprehensive as Duke’s will reapply treatment if roots regrow in the line during the warranty period, at no additional cost to the District. After the initial application, selected sanitary sewer line segments are re-treated every third year as part of the District’s sanitary sewer maintenance program.
The agreement’s total not to exceed amount will be $250,000 for sanitary sewer chemical control services if all options to extend are exercised. The length of the agreement is for two (2) years, with an option to extend the agreement for three (3) separate one-year terms. Extensions are subject to District Board appropriation of funds and mutual agreement by both parties.
Environmental Review:
Not subject to review Negative Declaration
Categorical Exemption, Section Mitigated Negative Declaration Fiscal Impact: The average annual cost of root control services is estimated to equal up to $50,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $250,000 if all options to extend the agreement are exercised. Funds are budgeted from account number 15-0000-5470.
Public Notification: None.
Staff Recommendation: Adopt a resolution (Attachment A) approving an agreement with Duke’s Root Control, Inc. for Sewer Root Control Services (Agreement No. 2023-02), and authorize the Executive Director to execute any necessary documents.

I. Required Ingredients
Inert Ingredients:
The root control material shall be formulated with foaming agents and surfactants sufficient to produce a stable, small bubble, dense foam capable of sustaining its shape and thus remaining on the treated roots. The foaming surfactants shall strip grease that typically clings to sewer root masses.
Root Killing Agent:
The active component for destroying intruding roots in sanitary sewer lines shall be a potent, non-systemic toxin which kills contacted roots at low concentrations, but which will not permanently affect parts of the plant distant from the treated roots.
The active ingredient must be spontaneously detoxified by a natural chemical or biochemical process in a relatively short interval following its use.
Root Re-Growth Inhibitor:
The active ingredient for inhibiting re-growth of root intrusions in sanitary sewer lines shall inhibit root cell growth on contact but shall not be transported so as to damage other portions of the parent plant. The material shall bind firmly to the soil in the vicinity of openings in pipe joints so as to form a persistent chemical barrier suppressing the growth of root tips. The material shall be sufficiently stable under the conditions of use to provide protection for twelve months or longer but shall be subject to decomposition in wastewater treatment plants without disturbing the treatment plant processes. A specimen product label(s) and Material Safety Data Sheets shall be submitted.
J. Additional Required Submittals
In addition to all other documents that may be required by the District’s Purchasing Department, the following documents must be submitted to the District’s Wastewater Operation within 10 calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed:
1) Consultant will produce a document that specifies the source of water to be used for mixing chemicals. If City water is being used, the Consultant Duke’s Root Control
October 18, 2022
Page | 23
shall record his use of a reduced-pressure backflow prevention device or air gap whenever accessing fresh water for mixing chemicals. 2) Specimen/Chemical Root Control Agent labels with Material Safety Data Sheets.
3) Letter of approval from Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant. 4) Pollution Liability Insurance Certificate.
5) Contractor qualifications including all related pesticide licenses and certifications.
6) Consultant’s Federal DOT number.
7) Evidence that the Consultant and all subcontractors have obtained pollution liability coverage.
8) Confined space training certification for the employees and subcontractors.
9) Traffic Control Plan including shop drawings and signage.

RESOLUTION NO. 2016-3469
RESOLUTION OF THE LEMON GROVE CITY COUNCIL APPROVING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP TM0-000-062 (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) AUTHORIZING THE SUBDIVISION OF A 2.064 ACRE PARCEL INTO TWENTY RESIDENTIAL LOTS, ONE
COMMON LOT FOR A PRIVATE STREET, ONE COMMON LOT FOR PARKING, AND TWO
COMMON LOTS FOR OPEN SPACE ON AN UNDEVELOPED SITE AT THE SOUTHWEST
CORNER OF PALM STREET AND CAMINO DE LAS PALMAS, LEMON GROVE,
CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, the applicant, Chris Dahrling, Vista Azul, LLC, filed a complete application for a Tentative Map (TM0-000-062) on September 15, 2016 to authorize the subdivision of 2.064 acres of land into 24 parcels, including 20 residential lots with 20 dwelling units, a lot for a private street, a lot for common parking, and two lots for common open space; as part of an application for a Planned Development Permit (PDP150-0003), a General Plan Amendment (GPA-150-0003) and a Zoning Amendment (ZA 1-500-0004 ); and
WHEREAS, on April 19, 2016, a public hearing was duly noticed and held by the Lemon Grove City Council. At the April 19th hearing, the City Council reviewed and disapproved the project which proposed 22 units, 16 of which were in the attached twin-home configuration, and six of which were single-family residences. The City Council provided feedback that the project density was excessive and the project design should more closely reflect a single-family residential community. In response, the applicant submitted final revisions to the project plans on September 15, 2016 for City Council consideration. The revised project proposes 14 detached single-family units and six units in the attached twin-home configuration (20 units total). An additional common area park replaced a single-family residential lot adjacent to the public cul-desac. The new project proposes less environmental impacts and less impacts on City public services; and
WHEREAS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) of Environmental Impact will be filed subsequent to the adoption and final approval of the proposed project by the City Council. The Initial Environmental Study prepared for this project found that the project would have no significant effect on the environment because identified potentially significant impacts associated with Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Noise, and Mandatory Findings of Significance will be mitigated to below a level of significance. A notice of intent to adopt a mitigated negative declaration was filed with the County Clerk prior to the City Council public hearing; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly noticed and held by the Lemon Grove City Council on October 4, 2016; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the tentative map is consistent with the Lemon Grove General Plan because it proposes lots for 20 dwelling units at a density of 11.4 dwelling units per acre on a 1. 752 net acre parcel of land in the Medium Density Residential land use designation of the Lemon Grove General Plan which allows a maximum of 14 dwelling units per net acre; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the tentative map complies with the findings of fact required to approve this project pursuant to Municipal Code Section 16 16.400 because the project complies with the time limitations of the State Subdivision Map Act; the existing lot is a legal lot; the proposed subdivision creates more than five lots; the proposed subdivision complies with the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance; the map and design or improvements are consistent with applicable general and specific plans; the site is physically suitable for the type of development; and the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered said Tentative Map and recommendations of the Planning Department, City Engineer, and the Lemon Grove Fire Department with respect thereto and has determined that the conditions hereinafter enumerated are necessary to insure that the subdivision and the improvements thereof will conform to all ordinances, plans, rules, and improvement and design standards of the City of Lemon Grove; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered said Tentative Map and recommendations of the Planning, Engineering, and Stormwater Divisions, and the Heartland Fire District with respect thereto and has determined that the conditions hereinafter enumerated are necessary to ensure that the subdivision and the improvements thereof will conform to all ordinances, plans, rules, and improvement and design standards of the City of Lemon Grove; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered Planned Development Permit PDP-150- 0003 including site, architectural, and landscape plans dated received September 15, 2016 associated with Tentative Map TM0-000-0062; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 16.12.280, the City Council finds that it is impractical in this particular case for this subdivision to conform fully to the Design Standards of the Subdivision Ordinance because the Subdivision Ordinance does not account for lots sized for planned developments and waivers granted as part of the approval of this project are found to conform to the spirit and purpose of the Subdivision Map Act and of the Subdivision Ordinance of the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby makes the following findings:
1. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat because the property has no environmentally protected resources as discussed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
2. The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map (TM0-000-0062) is consistent with the Medium Density Residential land use designation (up to 14-dwelling units per net acre) of the General Plan; and
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because public and private utilities will be available to serve the proposed density; and
4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems because public services (e.g., sewer, water, gas, and electricity) will be provided to the subdivision; and
5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements do not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of property within the proposed subdivision as defined under Section 66474 of the Government Code, State of California; and
6. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision map comply with the requirements of the State Subdivision Map Act and the Subdivision Ordinance except as specifically waived or modified for the requested deviations in accordance with Section 16.12.280 and pursuant to the Planned Development Permit process; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lemon Grove, California hereby:
SECTION 1. Finds and determines that the facts set forth in the recitals of this Resolution are declared to be true; and
2 SECTION 2. Waives or modifies the following Design Standards in accordance with Section
16.12 280:
1. Section 16.12.220B (Minimum Lot Area of 6,000 sq. ft ) to allow 20 planned development lots with areas ranging from 1,330 square feet to 11,237 square feet.
2. Section 16.12.220C (Lots Shall Front on Dedicated Street) to allow 20 planned development lots to not front on a dedicated street.
3. Section 16.12.220D (Minimum Lot Width and Depth of 60 feet by 90 feet) to allow 20 planned development lots with minimum dimensions of less than si xty feet by ninety feet.
4. Section 16.12.220H (The side lines of all lots shall be at right angles or radial to the street upon which the lots front with a maximum deviation of up to ten degrees allowed) to allow planned development lots accommodating for garage access and enhanced pedestrian paths.
5 Section 16.12.2201 (Lot depth shall be no greater than three times the average width) to allow slope and open space behind proposed residences to be a part of individual residential lots, but maintained by the Homeowner's Association.
SECTION 3. Conditionally approves Tentative Map TM-000-0062 in association with Planned Development Permit PDP-150-0003 and the grading , site, landscape, and architectural plans dated received September 15, 2016 (incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A") pursuant to the City of Lemon Grove Subdivision Ordinance (Title 16 of the Municipal Code) and contingent upon the second reading and final approval of an ordinance approving Zoning Amendment ZA 1- 500-0004.

Employee Equity Compensation Plan

CITY OF LEMON GROVE
CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
Item No. 2.
Meeting Date: October 18, 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: Employee Equity Compensation Plan
Recommended Action: Approve the proposed Employee Equity Compensation Plan.
Background: A City Council Priority this fiscal year is to improve compensation for all city employees. City employees are comprised of two groups, Fire and Miscellaneous.
The Fire group is comprised of fire fighters, engineers, captains, and battalion chief classifications. The Miscellaneous group is comprised of clerical, technical, public works, sanitation, administrative and professional classifications. In each classification of the employee groups, a salary survey was conducted, revealing that nearly all the classifications are below the median salary of the surveyed jurisdictions. When salaries lose market viability, it makes recruitment and retention problematic.
At the September 20, 2022, City Council meeting, the City Council discussed the concept of a salary philosophy, compensation equity, and job classification alignment. There was Council consensus on moving forward with these items.
Discussion:
Equity Compensation Plan
The proposed Equity Compensation Plan (Attachment A) begins to address the market inequity of our current compensation plan. A draft of the proposed compensation philosophy, internal alignment, and costs are attached for review, discussion and adoption.
As a sound management practice, an adopted salary philosophy allows current and prospective employees to understand how the organization values its staff; it assists with the retention of trained employees and it is a tool for recruitment. The following statement captures the proposed philosophy of the City Council with regards to employee compensation.
Employee Equity Compensation Plan
October 18, 2022
Page | 2
The City of Lemon Grove endeavors to have an equity compensation plan for its employees. It is the goal to set salary bands within five (5) percent of the market median, when possible.
Another component of a sound compensation plan is creating an internal alignment between job classifications. This salary separation is necessary to encourage growth in a career and most importantly succession planning for the organization. If there is salary compaction between job classifications, there is no incentive for the employee to take the next promotion or to consider a leadership position. In Attachment A, is the proposed internal alignment that takes into account job classifications, various responsibilities in the organization, and the median market survey information. In a majority of the job classifications, progress was made in closing the market compensation gap while maintaining salary differentials. The group of classifications that are still significantly below the median include the director and mid-manager levels. This is due to the necessity to maintain differential between the City Manager and department directors.
Although it was unworkable to close the median gap, incremental movement to close the gap was accomplished in the director and mid-manager levels.
Fire
The proposed salary plan for the Fire group will keep the current step system in place, however, this new plan does bring the fire group within market median. This new plan creates differential percentages between classifications, which will help with internal promotion of this class of employees. Human Resources staff met and consulted with the Fire Association and received their support of the new plan. If approved these new salary bands will be effective with the first pay period in January.
Miscellaneous
The proposed salary plan for the Miscellaneous group (clerical, technical, public works, sanitation, administrative, and professional classifications) creates an 11 step merit system with K being the top step. This top step brings nearly all classification within the proposed salary philosophy of the City Council. In a few classification, no equity increase was warranted due to that salary band being within or above the market median. As noted earlier in this report, this new salary plan addresses compaction issues between job classifications. If approved these new salary bands will be effective with the first pay period in January.
Budget impact
Each fiscal year during the budget development process, staff budgets salaries at top step of the band which assists in covering the costs of vacation cash out or employee separations. Staff looked at our currently filled positions, which step the employee is currently at and where the position would be placed with the new salary plan. For fire, the estimated budget impact to the general fund for the remainder of this fiscal year would be $30,500. The miscellaneous group budget impact would be $35,000 with general fund Employee Equity Compensation Plan
October 18, 2022

paying for $21,000 other funds, including sanitation for the remainder of the cost. These costs include all the roll up costs (payroll taxes, pensions, etc.) that are required with operating a business.
It is important to note that two thirds of the employees in the miscellaneous class are near the beginning to middle of the salary bands; should this plan be adopted employees will be placed in a band equal to their current step. For example, employee X is currently at the C step of the old salary plan, this employee would be placed in the new C step or the band closest to their current salary. When staff was projecting costs, all employees in this class received an equity increase to their current salary.
Staff is certain that these costs can be absorbed in the current budget due to FY 22 sales tax revenue exceeding projections by approximately $800 thousand.
Conclusion: To remain competitive in the market it is imperative that the salary inequity be addressed. The proposed Equity Compensation Plan moves towards addressing the inequity with all employee classifications and creates an incentive for employee retention by creating additional salary bands.
