Project Location: Mission Gorge Road at Marketplace and Post Office
POST OFFICE
LOWE’S
Description:
Justification:
This project will modify the median on Mission Gorge Road to lengthen the westbound left turn pocket into the Marketplace retail center and reduce the eastbound left turn pocket length at the Post Office/Lowe’s intersection.
The existing westbound left-turn pocket on Mission Gorge Road to the Marketplace retail center is too short, causing vehicle queues to extend beyond the pocket, blocking westbound traffic. Additionally, the eastbound left-turn pocket is longer than necessary due to updated plans for the parcel adjacent to Walmart. These modifications will lengthen the westbound turn pocket to prevent blocking through traffic, while maintaining adequate storage for the eastbound left turn at the Post Office/Lowe’s signal.

(Total Maximum Daily Load Reduction)
Drainage Project
Description: This project will prepare and implement a strategic plan to achieve compliance with the state-issued Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and related regulatory actions for bacteria in the San Diego River and its tributaries. The plan will outline a strategy to gradually reduce bacteria levels through the installation of structural controls across the City. It will also identify opportunities to incorporate retrofit improvements into existing projects, highlight any new improvement projects that may be necessary, and provide a fiscal analysis along with a funding plan.
Justification: To reduce bacteria levels (TMDL) and remain in compliance with the City’s Storm Water Permit, the City must implement more advanced storm water treatment systems, alongside continuing Best Management Practices (BMPs). Santee, along with other Copermittees in the San Diego region, has not yet met the TMDL requirements for bacteria. In response to this, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board issued Tentative Time Schedule Order (TSO) No. R9-2023-0006, requiring Santee and other entities to meet interim bacterial limits.
Operating Impact: The implementation of the TSO, along with the costs related to long-term planning, monitoring, operation, and maintenance, is expected to be significant.

38 Storm Drain Trash Diversion
Drainage Project
Project Location: Storm Drains Citywide
Description:
Justification:
This project will develop a “Trash Amendment Compliance Plan” to support the State’s efforts in addressing the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for trash in the City’s waterways. The plan will outline a phased implementation strategy and identify funding needs for future years. Implementation will require infrastructure improvements, including retrofitting storm drain inlets with trash capture devices, as determined by the plan. These upgrades will be carried out over a ten-year period.
The State has adopted a Statewide Trash Amendment, which applies to all regional stormwater permits. The amendment requires full trash capture, meaning no trash can enter waterways (numeric effluent limit of 0%). All existing developed areas must be in compliance with this requirement by 2030.
Operating Impact: The estimated cost for street sweeping, trash capture cleaning, and the long-term operation and maintenance of facilities, along with monitoring and compliance documentation, is $60,000 for Fiscal Year 2025-26. This amount will increase annually to $120,000 once all required trash capture devices are installed throughout the City.

Centralized Alarm System Upgrade
Facility Project
Project Location: City Hall, Fire Stations and Operations Yard Description:
Justification:
This project will upgrade the current alarm system to a centralized system, improving physical access control and increasing personnel security.
Currently, City Hall, the Fire Stations, and the Operations Center each operate on separate, independent alarm systems. Additionally, some doors at the Fire Stations are equipped with mechanical locks that require code-based entry. When personnel changes occur, these locks must be manually updated with new codes. While these changes are infrequent, the process can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Transitioning to a centralized alarm system would streamline this process, allowing personnel changes to be handled more efficiently. It would also improve overall building access and security monitoring, providing a more responsive and effective system.
Operating Impact: System maintenance will be budgeted in the City’s Operating Budget.

44 City Hall Network Wiring Upgrade
Facility Project
Description: This project will upgrade the existing Cat3 and Cat5 cabling at City Hall with Cat6 Ethernet cable, improving the speed and reliability of the network infrastructure while keeping it aligned with current technological advancements.
Justification: When Santee City Hall moved to its current location in 1994, the standard Ethernet cabling installed was Cat3, which supports speeds of up to 10 Mbps. A small portion of the wiring has since been updated to Cat5. Although all network devices are capable of speeds up to 1,000 Mbps, the existing cables limit performance, preventing optimal speeds on network workstations and phone devices. As technology continues to advance, the demand for greater bandwidth and faster speeds increases, making the upgrade necessary.
Operating Impact: None.

47 Emergency Operations Center
Facility Project
City Operations Center at a To-Be-Determined City Facility Description:
Justification:
This project will involve the construction of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to be located in a City facility, which is yet to be determined.
The City currently uses a portion of Building 5 at Santee City Hall as its Emergency Operations Center (EOC). However, recent changes have increased the demand for workspace in this area for day-to-day operations. Additionally, the current location at the northern end of the city poses challenges, as it is distant from the highest population density and areas with the most emergency incidents. Constructing a new EOC at a more centralized City facility will better serve the City’s needs. This new facility will not only improve operational efficiency during emergencies but also provide a dedicated space for federally mandated disaster response training and other general training activities.
Operating Impact: Operating costs for the new facility will be offset by savings from reduced maintenance and upgrading costs to maintain the existing facility. Additionally, grant funding opportunities are available to help support the EOC upgrades.

60 Big Rock Park Trailhead Enhancements
Park Project
Description: This project will design and construct a trailhead at the Cowles Mountain East Trail.
Improvements will include an 18-space parking lot, shade shelter, bike repair station, trail kiosk, concrete picnic tables, trash receptacles, trail signage, restroom facilities, decomposed granite pathways, and a public art display to enhance access and user experience.

Asset Management
Other Project
Description: This project will develop the City’s formal Asset Management program to improve how assets are tracked, evaluated, and maintained. The scope includes developing Citywide inventory, condition assessment protocols, and long-term capital planning strategies. A citizen advisory committee may also be formed to ensure community input and transparency. The goal is to establish a clear, sustainable approach that guides infrastructure decisions and supports long-term financial planning.
Justification: Developing a formal Asset Management program will establish a structured approach to inventorying assets, assessing their condition, and prioritizing maintenance and investment based on risk and service impact. This foundational effort is essential to enable the City to make informed, data-driven decisions that align operational objectives with fiscal accountability. By putting this framework in place now, the City will enhance transparency, foster better interdepartmental coordination, and be positioned to meet future infrastructure needs.
Operating Impact: Long term, the program is expected to reduce emergency repairs, improve maintenance scheduling, and enhance project planning.

81 Broadband Infrastructure Improvements
Other Project
Project Location: City Operations Center
Description:
Justification:
This project will provide the necessary infrastructure to complete the final phase of the City’s disaster recovery plan, as identified in the City’s Information Technology Master Plan, which highlights the need to enhance disaster preparedness and recovery efforts.
While prior upgrades have strengthened the City’s network security and backup processes, this phase will specifically establish a redundant, off-site location to maintain continued operations if City Hall becomes unusable. The project includes installing a secure, wired fiber optic connection from City Hall to the City’s Public Works Operations Center, with sufficient bandwidth to operate an offsite "satellite City Hall." This will allow the City to serve the community and provide connectivity to Fire Station 4, Fire Station 5, the operations and maintenance yard, and the future Community Center.
A fiber optic broadband connection is needed to provide the reliability and speeds required for the City to deliver services to residents and businesses through a redundant, off-site location if City Hall becomes unusable during a disaster. It will also enable connections between various City offsite facilities. Additionally, the infrastructure could extend broadband services to an underserved area of the City.
Operating Impact: Ongoing management and maintenance of equipment and software.

Project Location: Council Chamber
Description:
Justification:
This project allocates funds for the replacement and/or upgrade of the Council Chamber's audio/visual system, with a planned replacement schedule every seven to ten years. The scope includes the audio/visual backbone, display panels, sound system, voting equipment, laptops or tablets, cameras, live streaming equipment, and any necessary software. It may also involve the purchase of new equipment to ensure compatibility.
It is essential for the City’s equipment to be regularly upgraded to keep pace with technological advancements and changes, ensuring that the equipment remains wellmaintained and fully supported.
Operating Impact: Operating costs will include annual software licensing fees and potential maintenance or repair costs once equipment is no longer covered under warranty. New equipment typically comes with a one to three-year warranty.

83 Financial Management System Upgrade
Other Project
Description: This project includes the implementation, software licensing, and training costs related to the migration from the City’s current accounting and financial management system, Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”) Eden, to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The new ERP system will integrate financial and revenue management, procurement, payroll, and human resources functions.
Justification: Tyler has informed all current Eden system users that no future updates will be made to the architectural platform of the core Eden product. Over time, this will lead to increased incompatibility with other systems and affect the maintenance and support of the system.
Operating Impact: Annual software maintenance and licensing costs are estimated to be $150,000 per fiscal year.

84 San Diego River - Defensible Space and Hazardous Fuels Reduction Other Project
Project Location: Various properties located within
the San Diego River Floodway
Description: This project will establish defensible space around adjacent structures by thinning fireprone vegetation and removing fire hazard debris, thereby enhancing community resiliency in the area. A federal Hazard Mitigation Grant will cover 90% of the project costs, while the San Diego River Conservancy has agreed to equally share the remaining 10% of the City's obligation. The grant will fund a phased approach, with Phase 1 focused on Design and Environmental Review, and Phase 2 covering Construction. The total project timeline is 36 months.
Justification: The Fire Hazard Mitigation project will greatly reduce the risk of property loss and civilian casualties in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fire-prone areas of the City of Santee. Fire threats will be mitigated by removing non-native, invasive vegetation that increases fire intensity in an area highly susceptible to fires.
Operating Impact: The ongoing maintenance commitment is currently unknown.
