Program components include: development and planning review; construction site compliance; municipal, commercial and industrial business facility inspections; structural storm water Treatment Control Best Management Practices (TCBMPs) maintenance verification and inspections; documentation of the routine maintenance of the City’s storm water conveyance systems; community education and outreach; regional coordination; complaint/hotline response; water quality monitoring (sampling); and residential area program implementation.

The Planning Division’s work is highly coordinated with local, regional, state, and federal regulations and partnerships.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Building Division supports the public in interpretation of the California Building Standards Code, and the City’s Municipal Code, while providing support with best practices in construction, energy conservation requirements, and accessibility regulations. The Division performs technical plan reviews, field inspection services and issues certificates of occupancy and building permits along with coordinating permit approvals with City departments. The Building Division works collaboratively with outside agencies like the County of San Diego’s Department of Environmental Health and Quality, Padre Dam Municipal Water District, the local School Districts, and the Air Pollution Control District. It also partners with the Code Compliance Division and Fire Department to evaluate substandard structures.

After years of utilizing outside consultants to provide Building Division functions, the city has committed to determining the most cost-efficient way to provide quality customer service, which has included the hiring of full-time staff. The Building Division is currently staffed by a Building Official, Senior Inspector, and two (2) Permit Technicians. In an effort to transition to a fully staffed Building Division, a Plans Examiner and Building Inspector Position was approved by City Council in 2025, with the positions expected to be filled in 2026. The Division produces weekly, monthly, and annual reports that are submitted to the United States Census Bureau, the State Department of Finance, the State Architect, the Building Standard Commission, and the County of San Diego Assessor’s Office.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In 2008, Senate Bill (SB) 1608 (Corbett) required that local jurisdictions have a sufficient number of local building inspectors with at least one of those Inspectors be a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). A CASp is tested and certified by the State of California’s Division of State Architect as an expert in disability access laws. SB 1608 established a process whereby business owners can voluntarily hire a CASp specialist to inspect their buildings to ensure compliance with disability access standards and obtain an inspection report. CASp Building Inspectors play a crucial role in preventing accessibility violations as they provide permitting and plan check services for new and existing construction, where permits are required. Their reviews ensure people with disabilities are provided with equal access to places of public accommodation and can fully participate in society.

Assembly Bill (AB) 1379 allows local jurisdictions to retain 90% of a $4 fee (originally intended to sunset to $1 on January 1, 2024) collected for a business license. Local jurisdictions are required to use this fund to increase access to (CASp) professional services and ensure compliance with construction-related accessibility requirements within the business community. The bill has also prioritized the use of these funds for:

1. Training and Retention of CASp
The first priority is to allocate funds to training and retention of CASp Inspectors and other services required to meet the needs of the public in the jurisdiction.

2. Activities or Programs that Facilitate Accessibility Compliance Remaining funds are to be spent on activities or programs that facilitate accessibility compliance within the business community.

FY 2025-26 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Maintained required training and certifications for Building Division staff. • Prepared program guidelines for the “Accessible Santee Small Business Grant Program” to provide financial assistance to eligible businesses for obtaining a CASp inspection report and completing required improvements identified in the report.

FY 2026-27 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
• Maintain certifications for existing staff, onboard and certify new staff, and continue providing community outreach.
• Launch the “Accessible Santee Small Business Grant Program” to provide financial assistance to eligible businesses for obtaining a CASp inspection report and completing the required improvements.
• Develop outreach materials and strategies to encourage business owners to participate in the grant program.
• Administer the first phase of grants to offset the cost of obtaining a CASp inspection report.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE) Program Fund provides for the expenditure of Santee’s share of excess program reserve funds that were distributed to all cities and the County of San Diego in accordance with Assembly Bill (AB) 1572. This funding is used to support the City’s traffic management and traffic operations center activities.

On January 1, 2013, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) assumed responsibility for SAFE. AB 1572 requires SANDAG to distribute all SAFE Program reserves, totaling $9.85 million as of September 13, 2012, to the 18 cities and the County in proportion to the vehicle registration fees paid in Fiscal Year 2011 by the residents of each city and the unincorporated areas. In accordance with AB 1572, the distributed funds must be used by the recipient jurisdictions in compliance with the provisions of Section 2557 of the California Streets and Highway Code.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) represents a significantly enhanced investment in California’s transportation systems of more than $5 billion per year. The Act increases per-gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration taxes; stabilizes problematic price-based fuel tax rates; and provides for future inflationary adjustments to tax rates. The Act also more than doubles local street and road funds allocated through the State Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) by allocating revenue from new taxes through the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA).

The use of RMRA local streets and road funds is similar, but not identical, to existing HUTA use requirements. The Road Repair and Accountability Act includes a local agency maintenance-ofeffort requirement that applies to funds allocated through the RMRA to ensure these new road funds do not supplant existing levels of local general revenue spending on streets and roads. The Act also requires the submission of a project list prior to receiving RMRA funds for a fiscal year and the submission of an annual report of project completion to remain eligible for future RMRA funding.

FY 2025-26 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Completed the Citywide Pavement Repair & Rehabilitation Program 2025 Project using RMRA, TransNet, and General Fund resources.
• Completed the Citywide Pavement Repair & Rehabilitation Program 2025, Phase 2 Project using RMRA, TransNet, and General Fund resources.
• Completed the Citywide Pavement Roadway Maintenance 2025 Project using RMRA, TransNet, and General Fund resources.

FY 2026-27 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
• Effectively utilize RMRA funds to address important street and road capital projects, including the following:
o Pavement Repair and Rehabilitation Program
o Pavement Roadway Maintenance Program
o Concrete Repair and Replacement Program
o Bridge Retrofits and Repairs Program
