Qualifying Criteria for Financial Assistance
The main qualifying criteria for financial assistance under Council Policy No. 14 are summarized below:

Non-Profit Organizations
Nonprofit organizations which have officially filed as a nonprofit with the State of California and have a 501(c)3 certification must attach a copy of their current year non-profit certification form along with a Request for Financial Assistance Application. For organizations that are “recognized” nonprofits within the community but have never formally filed with the State, the City Council, at its discretion, may consider their application. It has been the practice in the past to allow applicants to submit a letter from either the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the California State Board of Equalization declaring the entity’s tax-exempt status for the 501(c)3 certification.

Threshold Qualifying Criteria
Request for Financial Assistance Applications are limited to non-governmental, nonprofit organizations serving the Solana Beach community. Excluded entities include the following:

County of San Diego, municipal organizations, special or water districts, school districts, schools (but not their supporting organizations) and private individuals. Applicants should have a State of California non-profit status certification or be a recognized Solana Beach “nonprofit” service, civic or youth organization.

Page I 1

5. Grant funds must be used for services or materials directly associated with the proposed activity.

Please describe how grant funds will be used:

Each student will have $125 tax-free to spend on new school clothes and shoes.

The students are chosen by the school liaisons and shop with their families at a local retail store.

Assistance League members work at the registration table, in the boys' and girls' departments and at checkout.

The Assistance League members at checkout have the gift cards to pay for the purchases and they also keep the receipt so there are no returns allowed.

6. Anticipated Program Objectives or Accomplishments:

Having new clothes and shoes extends these students' life experiences. Some had not previously had the job of receiving new clothes or shoes "like everyone else has."
Poor self~esteem can have a negative impact on academic performance and attendance. The new clothes and shoes that Assistance League provides go a long way toward boosting a child's self~confidence, a positive starting point for achieving academic success.

10. Will there be any matching funds or other grants that would be applied to this program or service? If awarded this grant, will that enable other funding sources? There are no matching funds available but we have received grants from the City of Encinitas and the San Diego Board of Supervisors.

12. If the proposed program or service is only awarded partial funding, will it still move forward? Will the program/service be scaled back and/or is there a threshold at which it will not move forward? If we only receive partial funding, the program will move forward. However, we might have to reduce the amount of money each student has to spend.

2024-2025 Community Grant Application

1. Required documents
W9 (attached)
Summary of Organization's Budget
We have no income source and rely on grants and donations, including in-kind donations from local businesses, for any events we run that have expenses. We have a bank account with Mission Federal Credit Union to track income and expenses. Attached is a screenshot (the April bank statement doesn't show expenses against our current grant), showing a balance of $2,439.

We have expenses of $482 not shown there and additional expenses associated with our final events as our 2023-24 Community Grant comes to a close on May 31, 2024. Due to the lack of a requirement to provide insurance to cover education events earlier in our grant period, we expect to have about $1,800 unspent. That can either be returned to COSS or we can use it to cover fees with the San Diego County Bike Coalition for summer education that COSS might contract with the Coalition.

Proposed Program Budget
We propose to decrease our spending this year as we don't believe we need to fund the safe cycling classes as we have in the past, and will focus on smaller community events. The budget includes the following:
$200: Second annual family-oriented bike ride
$300: New self-guided walking tour/scavenger hunt
$200: Fifth Tour of Solana Beach Community Bike Ride
$700 Total
Financial and Tax Statements
BikeWalkSolana is an advocacy and education committee listed as a Community or Volunteer Group on our EIN and does not file tax returns.

CA Franchise Tax Board Entity Status Letter (unnecessary as we do not file a tax return as a citizen committee)

2. Has your organization received financial assistance from the City before? (Yes) If yes, please state the fiscal year it was received and for the proposed program was:

Recently we have received the following grants from the Solana Beach Community Grant Program:
• 2023-24:$3650
• 2022-23:$2000
• 2021-22:$1500
In the past we have used these funds for several events to promote active transportation in the City of Solana Beach and get the community to think outside the car to discover Solana Beach.

The funds were used to cover the costs associated with a Tour of Solana Beach Community Ride, a SafeCycling Class, and a Tour of Solana Beach Scavenger Hunt. Outreach for the events was accomplished using City of Solana Beach E-blasts, articles in the Solana Beach Sun and Del Mar Times, posting flyers in local businesses, social media, and websites.

For FY 2013-2014 BikeWalkSolana received $800 for a Bicycle Safety Rodeo and other educational events. In 2014-2015 BikeWalkSolana received $1000 for a Bicycle Safety Rodeo.

3. Title of FY 2024/25 Proposed Program/Service:

BikeWalkSolana: Think Outside The Car
The group will offer a series of community events throughout 2024 and 2025 to build relationships, have fun, and promote the use of alternative mobility options in Solana Beach.

4. What is the total amount requested for the FY 2024/25 Proposed Total Program? Includes all estimated costs to conduct proposed activity/program. $700

5. Grant funds must be used for services or materials directly associated with the proposed activity. Please describe how grant funds will be used:

BikeWalkSolana will use the funds to support a number of community events. This includes the following:
• Solana Beach Community Bike Ride: This proposed as a flat route geared toward families with children along the Rail Trail, Sierra, and Cedros as an easier alternative to the traditional 15 mile Tour of Solana Beach Community Ride. Bikes, scooters, and other mobility options are all welcome.

Estimated cost: $200
$50 permit fee and $150 for lemonade and treats to fuel the young participants. • Self-Guided Walking Tour and Scavenger Hunt of Solana Beach: This is proposed as a self-guided 2-3 mile historical walking tour of the city. Previous scavenger hunts hosted by the group have been geared more toward bicyclists, but in 2024-2024 we did a shorter walk accessible to walkers. Along the hunt, people will locate points of interest highlighting art, whimsy, pedestrian infrastructure, and local history. We plan to partner with the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, whose historical plaques with QR codes on historic buildings will help scavenger hunters find answers to questions about Solana Beach's past.

Estimated cost: $300
$300 for raffle prizes from local businesses to encourage participation. • Fifth Tour of Solana Beach Community Ride: This is an approximately 15 mile bike tour of the city that highlights mobility improvements the city has or will make to its infrastructure as well as a tour of all of the city's different neighborhoods. The tour is led by qualified ride monitors at a leisurely pace. BikeWalkSolana has hosted four successful community rides in the past, most recently in 2023 when we had about 40 participants, including two children on their own bikes and two children on a parent's cargo e-bike. BikeWalkSolana typically holds this event in May, which is National Bike Month.

Estimated cost: $200
$50 for permit fee and $150 for raffle prizes that both encourage attendance and also serve as a way to distribute bike safety equipment, such as helmets, lights, and high-visibility gear.

6. Anticipated Program Objectives or Accomplishments
BikeWalkSolana is dedicated to making Solana Beach better for walking and biking for travelers of all ages. We educate the community about the city's alternative mobility options, improvements to bike/walk infrastructure, and bicycle and pedestrian safety information through our series of mobility events and trainings. We also work with the city to advocate for improvements to the city's bike and pedestrian infrastructure.

Previous community bike rides have been very successful. In 2019 we had over 100 participants, and in 2023 we had approximately 40 riders join us for the event. We have also had hundreds of participants over the previous three scavenger hunts. We hope to reach even more community members by expanding our tour and scavenger hunt ideas to shorter and flatter routes to encourage pedestrians and more children to participate.

7. Program Dates/Location
• Solana Beach Community Ride: The route will include portions of the Rail Trail, Sierra, and Cedros and will be held in spring 2025, exact date TBD. • Self-Guided Walking Tour and Scavenger Hunt of Solana Beach: Exact route is to be established, but will include some of the historic highlights of the city, including areas of 101/Cedros and La Colonia. BikeWalkSolana aims to hold the event in Spring 2025, exact date TBD.
• Fifth Tour of Solana Beach Community Ride: This is an approximately 15 mile bike tour of the city and will traverse all of the different areas of the city. It will be held in May 2025 to celebrate Bike Month.

8. Estimated number of Solana Beach residents to be served by proposed program:
• Solana Beach Family Bike/Roll/Ride: 40-50 people
• Self-Guided Walking Tour and Scavenger Hunt of Solana Beach: 100 people • Fifth Tour of Solana Beach Community Ride: 40-50 people

9. How will the organization acknowledge the City's financial contribution to the community/ beneficiaries of the proposed activity?
We will thank the City for its financial contribution on https:Ubikewalksolana.org/ as well as in any printed and electronic fliers distributed to promote each and every event. We will also verbally thank the City's financial contribution during the event itself.

10. Will there be any matching funds or other grants that would be applied to this program or service? If awarded this grant, will that enable other funding sources? There will not be any matching funds or other grants. However, we were able to leverage this year's events (made possible by our last grant from the Community Foundation), to get donations from local businesses for additional prizes for the raffles, and will work to do the same thing for future events.

11. Will volunteers be used for the proposed program or service and, if so, will they reduce expenses?
BikeWalkSolana is a volunteer organization, and its volunteers have helped to host previous Tours of Solana Beach. Volunteers will also be used to lead the community bike rides.

12. If the proposed program or service is only awarded partial funding, will it still move forward? Will the program/service be scaled back and/or is there a threshold at which it will not move forward?
If only partial funding is awarded, some of the proposed events will move forward, but not all of them. As expenses for insurance are unavoidable, BikeWalkSolana will evaluate the funding level and determine which of the proposed events will best serve the community. If less than $550 is granted, only the self-guided walk and scavenger hunt will be possible. If no money is granted, none of the events will be possible.

4. What is the total amount requested for the FY 2023/24 Proposed Total Program? Include all estimated costs to conduct propcsed activity/program.

We respectfully request $6,000, which would help offset the cost of Power Hour, a daily program that offers homework assistance, tutoring time, and educational activities. Each day during their After-School Programs, Harper Teen Center and La Colonla Clubhouse members meet with one-on-one tutors or small groups to finish their homework and engage in high-yield learning activities. Estimated costs include wages of tutors and staff, program supplies, and the overhead costs it takes to provide youth with comfortable, safe spaces to learn in.

5. Grant funds must be used for services or materials directly associated with the proposed activity.

Please describe how grant funds will be used:

If awarded, grant funds would be used to offset the cost of program supplies (such as literacy materials, math activities, paper, pencils, etc.) as well as staff's time spent tutoring and guiding youth through their daily academic programming. We would also appreciate the opportunity to use the awards to offset costs of equipment and tech related to this program such as the cost of repairing the computers that youth use for schoolwork or purchasing ink for the printer to print STEM activities.

6. Anticipated Program Objectives or Accomplishments:

Each day, youth will receive academic remediation and tutoring to raise their grades/GPA, resulting in youth being on track to graduate to the next grade or from high school into college. Each programming week will integrate expanded learning opportunities in STEM, the Arts, and/or literacy, ensuring that at-risk youth have a myriad of experiences that address their needs and interests and includes multiple content areas.

Throughout the year, staff will work closely with families, teachers, and school staff to ensure that each youth has the appropriate support for their unique learning needs.

7. Program Dates/Location:

The program will take place from August 12, 2024-May 30, 2025 at Harper Teen Center (533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive) and La Colonia Clubhouse (715 Stevens Avenue).

8. Estimated number of Solana Beach residents to be served by proposed program:._7.:.5 _____ _

9. How will the organization acknowledge the City's financial contribution to the community/ beneficiaries of the proposed activity?
We would be thrilled to announce a partnership via our social media pages (Facebook, lnstagram, Linkedln), and our monthly newsletter, which reaches 21,000 unique email addresses. The City would also be recognized on our website on our "Partners" page and annual report, which is sent out to 175 donors and posted on our webpage.

10. Will there be any matching funds or other grants that would be applied to this program or service? If awarded this grant, will that enable other funding sources? Whenever we can name a supporter, particularly a city, it strengthens our applications to other granters and shows strong community support. In the past, we have seen new and returning supporters donate due to seeing the breadth and depth of our partnerships with local government, foundations, and donors. We are currently looking for other grants that we could apply to for Power Hour.

Page 12 ends

11. Will volunteers be used for the proposed program or service and, if so, will they reduce expenses? Volunteers are core partners for our Clubhouses, and we are grateful that our volunteer program continues to grow with retired teachers, librarians, high school and college students, families, and retirees who are dedicated to using their time and energy to support our programs. They help us reduce expenses, with each volunteer saving the Club an estimated $29.95 per hour. Our partner organizations are also immensely helpful in bringing their passion and enthuasism to our youth, helping us work together to create a supportive and positive environment for local youth while also helping us reduce costs.

12. If the proposed program or service is only awarded partial funding, will it still move forward? Will the program/service be scaled back and/or is there a threshold at which it will not move forward? We are dedicated to sustaining Power Hour; daily time in expanded learning and homework assistance has proven successful in increasing at-risk and low-income youths' likelihood of graduating from high school and achieving academic success. Power Hour is a vital part of our programming, opening doors for many of our youth and cultivating their curiosity, skills, and knowledge. As such, our Development team works year-round to support this and other programs through grant writing, events, donor cultivation, and campaigns.

DocuSign Envelope ID: AE885A4F-D683-44D3-A46D-3CC54CB8E7BC

5. Grant funds must be used for services or materials directly associated with the proposed activity.

Please describe how grant funds will be used:

Funds will be utilized to staff monthly free legal clinics and community legal education programming at St. Leo Community Church in Solana Beach. CLP has been providing legal services throughout San Diego since 2005 and specifically in Solana Beach since 2015.

To date CLP has provided much needed assistance in a wide variety of legal areas to thousands of individuals, including well over 750 people through our Solana Beach clinics and community education events. CLP is unique in the way that the clinics are accessible to community members in the North County; direct client services are provided in person, on a first come first serve basis, and clients are not screened for eligibility based on income or immigration status. As most administrative and space costs are provided in kind, all funds will cover staff compensation.

6. Anticipated Program Objectives or Accomplishments:

1. Conduct at least 10 in-person monthly legal clinics between 9/2024 - 8/2025 on site in Solana Beach with goal of assisting 75 or more people with their legal issues.

2. Provision of two or more community education presentations in Solana Beach (likely partnering with Casa de Amistad) presenting on areas of most legal need for the community.

3. Attendance at coalition meetings with other Solana Beach providers and/or regular communication with local Solana Beach social service organizations to ensure that the community is well-informed on legal trends and has a contact if an emergency legal need comes up in the community,

7. Program Dates/Location:

Legal Clinic - One Wednesday per month at St. Leo Mission Church; Community Education presentations - twice during year at times and locations coordinated with partnering organizations.

8. Estimated number of Solana Beach residents to be served by proposed program:._7 __ 5_-1_0_0 ___ _

9. How will the organization acknowledge the City's financial contribution to the community/ beneficiaries of the proposed activity?
The Community Law Project is happy to share news of any funding received by the City of Solana Beach through our social media outlets (Facebook, lnstagram, and Linkedln). We are also happy to post signage at our clinic/ community legal education presentations indicating that the program is supported through funding from the City of Solana Beach.

10. Will there be any matching funds or other grants that would be applied to this program or service? If awarded this grant, will that enable other funding sources? There will not be matching funds, but this project is partially funded through several other funding sources (including funding from California Western School of Law, other grant and private donations, and in-kind support of space and resources).

Page I 2
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE885A4F-D683-44D3-A46D-3CC54CBBE7BC

11. Will volunteers be used for the proposed program or service and, if so, will they reduce expenses? Our program has three paid staff members who act as primary legal supervisors and trainers, as well as coordinators. The rest of the close to 100 individuals who work with our program do so in a volunteer capacity. This includes local attorneys who provide free legal specialty advice to individuals with complex legal questions, law students who serve as primary interviewers for clients and help identify their needs, and bilingual undergraduate students who help with interpretation. Our program' s use of volunteers helps keep overhead expenses very low.

12. If the proposed program or service is only awarded partial funding, will it still move forward? Will the program/service be scaled back and/or is there a threshold at which it will not move forward? The portion of our program that provides services in Solana Beach has traditionally been funded through a combination of a grant specific to Solana Beach and other funding sources that do not earmark funding for a specific geographic area.

Total funding has allowed us to hold monthly clinics in Solana Beach and approximately two legal education presentation in the area annually. If we were to not be awarded funding, we would need to reduce the total annual number of clinics we have in Solana Beach. If funding was partial but close to the amount requested, we anticipate being able to maintain services as they have been provided over the past year.

For the general public, Summer Shakespeare Series provides free performances to our community, increasing accessibility to the arts by bringing live, exciting theatre to non-traditional theatre spaces.

7. Program Dates/Location:

Please see attached sheet - Program Dates and Locations

8. Estimated number of Solana Beach residents to be served by proposed program:.c1_0_0_;_0 ____ _

9. How will the organization acknowledge the City's financial contribution to the community/ beneficiaries of the proposed activity?
The City of Solana Beach's support would be graciously acknowledged in all Mainstage and Theatre School show programs, on the Donor Board in the Theatre Lobby, in our annual Mainstage and Theatre School brochures, and on our Mainstage and Theatre School website.

10. Will there be any matching funds or other grants that would be applied to this program or service? If awarded this grant, will that enable other funding sources? The City of Encinitas has generously supported our Shakespeare programming with a grant of $2,900, of which approximately $1,450 will be used in support of this summer's production of Hamlet. Other funding for our season comes from the enrollment fees of participating students, charitable donations from community members, and ticket revenue from performances in the Theatre School Studio Space. To ensure that arts education is acessible to all students regardless of their background, we also have a partnership with the US Bank Foundation that allows us to offer scholarships to deserving students who might not be able to afford to participate otherwise.

11. Will volunteers be used for the proposed program or service and, if so, will they reduce expenses? We have a vibrant community of volunteers who kindly donate their time and energy to our mission. On performance days, they can be found ushering, taking tickets, working the concession stand, handing out programs, and filling in wherever is needed. Backstage, volunteers will use their expertise to sew/repair costumes or help construct/strike a set.

12. If the proposed program or service is only awarded partial funding, will it still move forward? Will the program/service be scaled back and/or is there a threshold at which it will not move forward? Both productions would still move forward even if we only received partial funding, but receiving partial funding might impact the number of students we would be able to offer scholarships to and the overall production value of the costumes, set, and props.

Dockctwise will enable Pathways' legal staff and volunteers to efficiently and privately manage clienl information and deliver timely and elfe..,iivc pro booo legal servic,;s to a greater numbel' of eligible low-income immigrants and refogoos.

Curroolly, Pathways uses a mix of outdated technology and homegroM1 solutions for rn:arty everything, including database, work!lows, client intllkcs, case preparation, and tracking and reporting on deliverables. Current tools make it difficult to standardize pni«dures and track information, costing significanl time. Pr-equenl system oumgcs and double entry of data are time-consuming and frustraltng for stl!lff and volunteers, and reduce the number of low-income clients Pathways can serve.

Pa!hways estimates that Dockenvlse will cost $6,942 annually (for 8 seats), and is requesting $6,000 from !he City of Solana Be,11ch lo impleme11t !his solution.

To maximize the impact of our small staff, Pathways has engaged more than 200 volunteer tutors, attom~cs and legal interns in this complex and life-changing. work, The Digillll Pathways project will engage more Sotana Beach residents (age Hl-80) as legal volunteers to help their eligible neighbor:<; from around the world navigate !he costly and confusing U.S. legal immigration system. Bight Docketwfae seals (accounts) will enable volunteer legal interns and altorueys to assist Plllhways' four legal representatives with filing and tracking legal cases for low-income immigrants 1n Solana Beach.

Please describe how grant funds will be used:

6. Anticipated Program Objectives or Accomplishments:

Each year we have a number of players from Solana Beach who have the skill necessary to play on a competitive team, but not the resources. This would allow the club to bring in those players who would otherwise not be able to afford to play on a competitive team or participate in our camps. Those players who aspire to play at a higher level (such as in high school) typically play on a club team in order to receive the training required to compete at the higher level.

2024 Community Grant Program
Grant Proposal - Request for Financial Assistance
Rancho Santa Fe Youth Soccer (RSFYS) is a community based non-profit organization offering young people between the ages of 4-18 the opportunity to play soccer at all levels. Like the Solana Beach Soccer Club (SBSC), we offer recreational level soccer to community members in the Rancho Santa Fe community, with participants from outside this area making up a small number of players. Where we differ from SBSC is that we offer a competitive program for players who are interested in playing at a higher level with professional coaching. Of the 392 players currently enrolled in this program, 19% are Solana Beach residents. These players enjoy the environment that RSFYS promotes which is one of community and commitment.

The program we are promoting is for funding of scholarships for players from Solana Beach that need financial assistance. This financial aid could be for help with registration fees for players in the competitive program or players wanting to attend our camps offered throughout the year.

Fees for our competitive program range from $1,450 for a seasonal year (for the youngest players) to $2,300. The club does currently offer scholarships to those that apply and can demonstrate need, but the funds are limited. A player must apply using our Application for Financial Aid and they must qualify based on their adjusted gross income from their most current tax return and where that gross income falls compared to the Federal Poverty Level in California for 2024 for t he number of family members listed on their tax return. The amount of aid that they receive is determined by how many appl icants there are and how much money is available.

These same qualifications would be applied to players from Solana Beach that request financial aid, but the funds awarded through this grant could potentially give us the opportunity to award more than the amount we have been able to give in the past to those who apply.

Proposed Budget for SB Community Grant Program

RSFYS Budget Summary for FY 2024-2025
Sources of Revenue: RSFYS has 2 main sources of revenue - player registration fees and an annual tournament. We also have soccer camps for both recreational and competitive players during the summer, at Thanksgiving and the winter holidays and two 5-week recreational programs in the spring.

This year we are anticipating budget revenues of $1.2 million.

Expenditures: As with most companies, Employee compensation is our largest expenditure. We have a coaching staff of 13 professional coaches and 2 administrators for a total of 15 employees. Our next largest expenditure is our tournament, and then our field expenses (field rental, portable restrooms, storage unit). Our budget expenditures for the 2024/25 season will be approximately $1.17 million.

Summary: Based on the budget for the 2024/25 Fiscal Year, we are anticipating that we will essentially have a break-even year with perhaps a small profit. We will have one more competitive team than last year, bringing our total number of teams to 30. Recreational registration just started and will continue through the summer, but we hope to get our numbers up close to 200 players for the fall. 11 :02 AM

CLUB
The City of Solana Beach Community Grant Program 2024 Request for Financial Assistance application MUST BE SUBMITTED by 5:00 PM Thursday, May 23, 2024.

Please submit completed applications via email to [email protected] and copied to [email protected]. If email submission is not possible for an applicant, hard copies may be dropped off at City Hall 635 South Highway 101, Solana Beach, CA. 92075, Attn: Community Grants Program.

All requests will be determined by the following criteria:

Name of Organization: Sandpipers Square Dance Club
Contact Person: Bonnie Violi Email address: [email protected] --------------- Daytime Phone: 760-215-5471 cell Mailing Address: 2408 La Plancha Ln
City: Carlsbad
Evening Phone: _7_6_0-_2_1_5_-5_4_7_1 ______ _
State: _C_A ______ Zip: 92009

1. All the documents below are attached to this application:
~ W-9
~ Summary of Organization's Budget
~ Proposed Program Budget
~ Financial and Tax Statements (see Application Guidelines) ~ Copy of the California Franchise Tax Board Entity Status Letter, showing exemption under Section 23701 d or Internal Revenue Code section 501 (c)(3)

2. Has your organization received financial assistance from the City before? □ Yes Ill No If yes, please state the fiscal year it was received and for the proposed program was:

3. Title of FY 2024/25 Proposed Program/Service: Learn to Square Dance Class

4. What is the total amount requested for the FY 2023/24 Proposed Total Program? Include all estimated costs to conduct proposed activity/program.

Caller Fees: 20 wks x $200 $4,000
Hall Rental: 20 wks x $150 3,000 Less Student fees/donations: -2,000 Hopitality supplies: 20 wks x $50 1,000
Class recruitmenUMarketing 500 Net Class Shortfall: $6,500 Total Class Expenses $8,500 (Grant requested amount)
Page I 1

5. Grant funds must be used for services or materials directly associated with the proposed activity.

Please describe how grant funds will be used:

The Square Dance Caller/Teacher and Hall rental fees are paid weekly and are a flat pre-agreed amount. If the class is large, fees for both the caller and hall rental can be increased.

Hospitality and Marketing costs are mostly provided by club members. Only significant pre-authorized expenses are paid by the club funds.

6. Anticipated Program Objectives or Accomplishments:

With the isolation caused by Covid, many people (especially seniors) need a fun way to socialize and get exercise.

It takes a significant commitment of time and money to get new dancers trained. The square dance community has shrunk over time and clubs no longer have the resources needed to sponsor new learners. This program/grant will enable the participants to complete a 20 week course preparing them for club level dancing. Square Dancing for 2 hours is like walking 5 miles. It confers multiple benefits to the participants: Cardiovascular health, Bone health, Flexibility, Balance, Weight Mgmt, Mental health, Stress Relief, and Brain power.

Square Dancing is a fun way to meet new friends while exercising physically and mentally.

7. Program Dates/Location:

Class is held weekly for 20 weeks starting on July 16, 2024 at St James Catholic Church in Solana Beach.

We anticipate 20-30 participants from the local area. Class is advertised and open to the public age 9 to seniors.

8. Estimated number of Solana Beach residents to be served by proposed program: 20-30 new dance1

9. How will the organization acknowledge the City's financial contribution to the community/ beneficiaries of the proposed activity?
All publicity flyers and newpaper articles will include statements regarding the City's support. An appreciation flyer can be displayed and also announced at each class and club dance.

Although a "Learn to Square Dance" class is continuous for 20 weeks, the monthly club dance has one hour of dancing provided for "guests" or new/first time dancers to learn and participate. This opportunity is publicized in the community and introduces many residents to the fun and friendliness of Square dancing.

10. Will there be any matching funds or other grants that would be applied to this program or service? If awarded this grant, will that enable other funding sources? The Palomar Square Dance Association (umbrella organization covering multiple San Diego county square dance clubs) may renew a previous support program to provide $800 reimbursement to the clubs holding beginner classes.

Students provide a small donation fee per class. This fee can be waved for economically challenged individuals. Club members make personal contributions to help pay for the classes. This Grant Application is a first for the Sandpipers club.

No other funding sources are known.

Page I 2

11. Will volunteers be used for the proposed program or service and, if so, will they reduce expenses? Club management in square dancing is a completely volunteer activity.

Classes need as many experienced dancers as new dancers to be successful. The club members volunteer their time to attend class and also contribute to the class expenses.

The Square Dance Caller/Teacher is a professional who is paid per class.

Sandpipers has sponsored Square Dancing in Solana Beach for the past 51 years.

12. If the proposed program or service is only awarded partial funding, will it still move forward? Will the program/service be scaled back and/or is there a threshold at which it will not move forward? The club treasury is limited and cannot continue to sponsor classes without assistance. Attendance fees at classes and also at monthly club dances is not high enough to cover basic costs. The Covid shutdowns have hit all Square Dance clubs hard. We are in a re-building phase to get square dancing back to a "break even" financial situation. More dancers mean more fun for all, and is also helpful to share the costs. We are a non~profit organization. When the treasury is dry, square dancing stops. Square Dancing has been designated as the United States national folk dance and is too important to lose.

Grant funds will be used to support various aspects of our Pre-apprenticeship program, ensuring that participants have the necessary resources and guidance to succeed.

Specifically, the grant will cover the following:

Program Uniforms: Funds will be allocated to purchase uniforms that will help distinguish students enrolled in the Pre-apprenticeship program. This will foster a sense of unity and

6. Anticipated Program Objectives or Accomplishments:

The objectives of the Leader in Training (LIT)Pre-Apprenticeship Program within the in Technical Theater are multifaceted and include:

Hands-On Training: The LIT Program offers middle school and high school students invaluable on-the-job training in various technical theater disciplines such as stage and set design, choreography, directing, and costuming. By working alongside experienced industry professionals, students gain practical skills and insights that are essential for a

10. Will there be any matching funds or other grants that would be applied to this program or service? If awarded this grant, will that enable other funding sources? The Solana Beach Community Theater is actively seeking additional funding sources to support various features within our theater company for the 2024/25 period. While we are applying for multiple grants to meet our financial needs, the grant we are seeking from the City of Solana Beach Community Grant Program specifically targets the Leader in Training (LIT) program within our organization. As of now, the LIT program does not have any additional funding sources allocated to it. Therefore, if awarded the grant from the City of Solana Beach, it would be a critical and exclusive source of funding for this essential program. Receiving this grant would not only provide vital financial support for the LIT Page I 2

11. Will volunteers be used for the proposed program or service and, if so, will they reduce expenses? Volunteers play a vital role in the operations of our organization, and they will indeed be integral to the execution of the Leader in Training (LIT) program. One of the hallmarks of this program is the collaboration between middle and high school students and industry professionals who generously volunteer their time and expertise to teach high-level technical theater skills to the next generation of artists and technicians. As students progress in their learning journey within the LIT program, they move towards proficiency in

12. If the proposed program or service is only awarded partial funding, will it still move forward? Will the program/service be scaled back and/or is there a threshold at which it will not move forward? If awarded only partial funding, the Solana Beach Community Theater would still move forward with the proposed Leader in Training (LIT) program, albeit with limitations that would impact the number of students able to participate. However, there is a threshold at which the program's viability would be significantly compromised, potentially hindering its ability to achieve its overarching goals. The primary goal of the LIT program has always been to expand participation and provide valuable career development opportunities for Acknowledgment of Responsibility:

4 CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
Dear Residents of Solana Beach:

The City of Solana Beach Fiscal Year 2024/25 Work Plan is a critical operational document developed based on public feedback, direction from the Mayor and Council members, and regulatory changes. Rooted in the core values of transparency, collaboration, and innovation, this plan provides a roadmap for our efforts in key areas such as community character,
infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, economic growth, and community services. Each section
details specific projects and initiatives, along with the resources required for their successful implementation.

Over the years, this annual programming and budgeting process has resulted in the investment of City resources and grant funding to improve our streets, parks, and beaches, and to maintain the overall quality of life in our neighborhoods. Significant components of our work plan include policy and program development to improve customer service, capital investments in our roadways and City facilities, and the prioritization of our City employees to grow and retain quality Staff. These priorities are pivotal to enhancing our infrastructure, boosting economic activity, and sustaining our neighborhoods.

As the City Manager of Solana Beach, I am pleased to present this Work Plan as a comprehensive guide outlining our strategic objectives and operational initiatives for the upcoming year. By setting clear priorities and measurable goals, we aim to ensure that our City remains a place where people can live, work, and play. This plan is a testament to our commitment to fostering a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive community. It is designed to address the evolving needs of our residents, businesses, and visitors while preserving the unique charm and character of our beautiful coastal city.

I am confident that this work plan will serve as a valuable tool for guiding our actions and measuring our progress. It is through collective effort and shared vision that we will continue to build a resilient and thriving Solana Beach. I look forward to working together with the City Council, our dedicated Staff, and the entire community to achieve the goals set forth in this plan.

Alyssa Muto
City Manager, Solana Beach

Community Character Priorities
Land Use & Planning
6 COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Land Use & Planning

1. General Plan Updates
Summary: The City’s first General Plan was originally adopted in 1988. Individual elements of the General Plan, including Land Use, Circulation, Noise, and Housing have been reviewed and revised over time. The Circulation and Land Use Elements were updated and adopted by the City Council on November 19, 2014, and the Environmental Impact Report was certified at that same meeting. The Housing Element was last updated in 2021, and covers the time period of April 15, 2021, to April 14, 2029. Annual reporting is conducted for the City’s Housing Element implementation. The next component of the General Plan is a required update to the Safety Element to ensure consistency with the recent San Diego County Hazard Mitigation Plan update, State legislation, and the SANDAG’s Regional Plan.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Update Density Bonus Ordinance
B. Issue RFP for 1st City Housing site (see Priority 2 below) C. Develop permit ready ADU program and plans
D. Upon the release of the local Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones VHFHS maps by the State, the City will bring forward Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps for adoption.

E. Conduct public meeting to review Highway 101 Specific Plan for any regulatory, policy or program updates.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: The implementation of the policies and programs contained in the City’s Housing Element is a multi-year project. The costs are predominantly Staff time to draft and implement policies and programs. Where possible Staff will seek additional grant funding to assist with the implementation of this project. With respect to the ADU Permit Ready Program, the City projects an approximate cost of $100,000 for the purchase of plan sets for use by residents for standard studio and one-bedroom ADU designs.

No additional funding is expected to be needed for FY 2024/25.

2. South Sierra Mixed Use Affordable Housing Project
Summary: In 2014, the City Council approved the Hitzke Development Corporation mixed use affordable housing project on South Sierra Avenue on a City-owned parking lot. The project as adopted includes commercial space and parking, ten (10) affordable housing units and associated parking, and 31 replacement public parking spaces. Following approval of the project, significant delays were encountered including a legal challenge against the City and Hitzke Development Corporation, where the City prevailed at both the lower court and the Court of Appeals. During this delay, construction costs increased and the inability of the Applicant to Community Character Priorities
Land Use & Planning
7 obtain required affordable housing funding, including State and County grants, resulted in Hitzke providing notice to the City in November 2020, that the project was no longer going forward for construction.

On February 24, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Applicant provided to the City electronic copies of all plans prepared for the project. The City’s objective is to pursue development of the project pursuant to the prepared plans and approvals through issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP). This project would provide needed affordable housing adjacent to neighborhood services, including transit and commercial uses, and would further implement the goals of the Solana Beach Housing Element and the General Plan. Additionally, this project if built, could also satisfy obligations from a settlement agreement from the 1990s related to provision of deed-restricted affordable housing units in the City.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Update building permit plans for review/approval and construction.

B. Prepare and issue an RFP for solicitation of affordable housing developers.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: Development of RFP and solicitation can be completed with City Staff time. Additional costs may be incurred through the bid review process; any additional budget allocations will be brought before the Council for authorization.

3. Customer Assistance Program Improvements
Summary: A number of City technology and process improvements have been geared toward greater customer service, flexibility for commercial uses, and permit streamlining. Among those recent improvements the Community Development Department has budgeted a full-time planner position to develop and support an Applicant Assistance Program (AAP). This program and assigned Staff is focused on assisting the community in navigating the sometimes-complex process for permit applications, plan transmittals, code compliance complaints, etc. The program will be expanded to include the creation of DRP Guidelines and Toolkit that will include a development checklist and cost estimate worksheet to help property owners navigate the development review process based on the type of project that is being proposed.

In an effort to help streamline the permit process and online payments for a variety of services including business certificates, building permits, parking citations, and allow for online payments and tracking, Staff researched various online permit tracking systems. In June of 2017, the City Council authorized the purchase of TRAKiT software and Staff has been working with a contractor to customize the tracking program for the City. The City went live with the TRAKiT program in July 2019. Subsequently, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City has implemented digital submittals and TRAKiT went live for improved intake and routing while navigating remote work and social distancing. The City has implemented online credit card payments for Summer Day Camp and Junior Guard registration, and are working on expanding this service to TOT payments and business licenses. The next phase of TRAKiT will be expanding the permit tracking system to be outward facing to integrate the electronic filing and processing of permits and plans for further customer service and permit streamlining.

Community Character Priorities
Land Use & Planning
8 As part of the TRAKiT program, the City also purchased “My Community”, a stand-alone smart phone app that works with the City’s website to include relevant information for residents including City contacts, calendar of events and information regarding City government departments and services. In addition, it allows for the community to report location-specific issues such as graffiti, potholes, trash accumulation and broken sidewalks instantaneously to Staff. Since going live in November 2018, this program has resulted in a more efficient and effective way to report issues to the correct city departments.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Develop a citizen Guidelines and Toolkit to assist applicants in navigating City permitting process.

B. Implement an on-line application and payment process for business certificates and permits.

C. Prepare an annual report to Council on the My Community app including such things as usage, response time and highest reported issues.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: A new planner position has been allocated and assigned to implementing the AAP and developing the DRP Guidelines and Toolkit can be completed with City Staff time. Initial cost of software purchase was approximately $196,000 with annual maintenance costs of $38,000-$40,000.

4. Outdoor Dining Regulations
Summary: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain restrictions were modified to assist the business community during the difficult economic times, and to allow residents and visitors to continue to safely utilize certain services such as restaurants, bars, beauty salons, and exercise/wellness businesses outdoors and with appropriate social distancing. These specific businesses were allowed to temporarily expand into outdoor areas including sidewalks and parking lots (public and private) to provide additional space, especially during the times when indoor operations were not allowed. Due to the popularity of certain businesses, mainly restaurants, the City Council has directed the City Manager to prepare draft requirements and regulations to permanently allow these outdoor operations, including ways to mitigate potential issues to parking, noise, safety, aesthetics and other foreseeable areas.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Bring forward draft regulations to City Council for consideration.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: Development of draft regulations can be completed with City Staff time. Additional consultant services for parking counts, noise monitoring or other potential areas of impacts listed above could require additional budget allocations.

Community Character Priorities
Land Use & Planning
9 5. Local Coastal Program/Land Use Plan Adoption and Preparation of the Local Implementation Plan
Summary: The City prepared a Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (LUP) which was certified by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) on March 7, 2012, and subsequently adopted by the City Council in February 2013. At the time of adoption, the City Council also directed City Staff to prepare a Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) to modify some of the provisions in the LUP relating primarily to bluff top development, shoreline protection and private beach access ways. The CCC approved the City’s LUPA in January 2014, and incorporated 12 additional CCC-initiated modifications. The City then prepared at the direction of the CCC, a update to the 2010 Draft Mitigation Fee Study
The certified LUP includes a requirement to update the 2010 Draft Mitigation Fee Study prepared by the City. In January 2014, the CCC awarded the City a grant in the amount of $120,000 for use by the City in updating the draft fee study to reflect the policies in the Certified LUP. An updated public recreation impact fee study and draft LUPA was submitted to the CCC on April 29, 2016, and approved by the CCC with modifications. The City Council adopted the modification on November 13, 2018; CCC Executive Director concurrence was received on December 13, 2018. City Staff continues to work on the draft LIP that would geographically segment the bluff top properties from the rest of the City and Title 19 has been reserved for the “Coastal Zone” provisions associated with the LCP/LIP.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Conduct engagement and prepare a draft LIP and Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) to correct zoning information within the approved LUP.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: The estimated budget proposed for FY 2024/25 to continue the LCP Local Implementation Plan efforts is approximately $90,000 programmed for consultant services for adjunct planning services and document assistance.

6. Eden Gardens Specific Plan/Overlay
Summary: The Eden Gardens Master Streetscape Plan was adopted April 17, 1995, and is a document that provides guidance on the public improvements desired in the area. The scope of the Specific Plan or creation of a zoning overlay could contain design guidelines and development standards specific to the La Colonia de Eden Gardens neighborhood. The planning process would involve community input and could include engaging a qualified design professional. In November 2019, Staff conducted a community meeting and received input regarding concerns and issues the community had been facing that can be used to identify and prepare a comprehensive guiding plan for the Eden Gardens community.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Initiate a planning process to explore a comprehensive guiding plan for the community that can provide further design and setback regulations to maintain the historic and cultural history of the neighborhood.

Community Character Priorities
Land Use & Planning
10 Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: Public engagement and development of planning overlay regulations can be completed with City Staff time.

7. Short-Term Vacation Rental Permit Ordinance Update
Summary: The City’s current Short-Term Vacation Rental (STVR) Permit regulations allow for the rental of any residentially zoned dwelling unit, other than Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), including detached single-family residences, condominiums, duplexes, twinplexes, townhomes and multi-family dwellings. Since adoption of the City’s STVR regulations, the soaring popularity of vacation rental hosting websites has resulted in a proliferation of STVRs throughout the San Diego region. On an annual basis, Staff handles a variety of complaints regarding STVRs and their impacts to local neighborhoods including noise, parking and unruly guests. In order to maintain an appropriate balance of housing stock dedicated to residents and also to visitor accommodations, the City will evaluate the City’s Short Term Vacation Rental Permit regulations for potential amendments. A key focus should be on maintaining long-term rental stock in the community.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Evaluate existing STVR Permit regulations for modifications.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: Development of draft regulations can be completed with City Staff time.

8. Electric Bicycle (E-Bike) Safety and Education Program Summary: The proliferation of E-Bikes in the city has resulted in both positive and negative impacts on the community. E-Bikes reduce daily miles traveled in vehicles, promote a healthy lifestyle and provide a convenient and clean mode of transportation around the community. EBikes can help riders of all ages, skills and physical abilities live more active lives. However, there are significant safety concerns that have arisen as the popularity of E-Bikes has exploded.

The City would like to continue to promote the use of E-Bikes in the community but also create a safe environment for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The continued education of both E-Bike riders and the public is paramount to a harmonious community that can both foster clean alternative modes of transportation while protecting the health and safety of the residents.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Continue the partnership with the San Diego County Bike Coalition and BikeWalkSolana to provide E-Bike safety educational workshops and practical exercises throughout the community.

B. Collaborate with the local schools to provide educational opportunities and potentially a permit program for E-Bike riders.

C. Partner with the local bicycle shops on educational opportunities when E-Bikes are purchased.

Community Character Priorities
Land Use & Planning
11 Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: There are costs associated with partnering with the San Diego County Bike Coalition for the education and training programs.

These costs are estimated at approximately $10,000 per year.

9. Charter City Analysis
Summary: The City is a General Law City under California Constitution and state statutes.

When incorporated as a City in 1986, the governance was constructed as a General Law, relying on the State legislative structures, and when delegated, the City developed regulations and policies, such as with land use and other municipal code regulations. While reliant on the state constitutional framework, since becoming a city, there have been an increasingly legislative trend at the State level to address systemic, and statewide issues from everything such as public health, commercial operations, land use, housing, and homelessness. While there are many benefits, some of these legislative actions can conflict with the needs or priorities of local municipalities. The City Council has directed the City Manager to further review the opportunities, limitations, benefits and timelines for consideration of initiating a ballot measure for a vote of the public to consider changing the City from a General Law City to a Charter City.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Analyze and report to the Council on the opportunities, limitations, benefits and timelines for consideration of becoming a Charter City.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: Analysis of the process and potential outcomes can be completed with City Staff time.

10.Synthetic Drug Substance Prohibition
Summary: Synthetic substances, commonly referred to as Bath Salts or Spice, are documented that when consumed to cause hallucinations, agitation, psychosis, aggression, suicidal tendencies, among other things. While newly created drugs often go unregulated in California due to testing and other regulatory requirements, many of these substances are given emergency scheduling under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The City Council has directed the City Manager to develop appropriate regulatory language to be considered by the Council to prohibit the manufacturing, sale, distribution and/or possession of Federal Schedule I drugs, including novel synthetic drugs.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Develop proposed regulatory language to be considered for adoption by the Council.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: Development of draft regulations can be completed with City Staff time.

Community Character Priorities
Land Use & Planning
12 11.Legislative Platform and Lobbying
Summary: Legislative priorities for the City are generally reflected throughout this Work Plan.

The following is a list of actions that should be conducted on an annual basis and with regular review to ensure new and pending legislation is being responded to in a manner consistent with the City’s priorities and regulations.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Update Legislative Priority List for Council Consideration.

B. Develop policy on priority topic areas to support/advocate.

C. Continue to work with lobbyists to promote City agenda.

D. Engage representatives and submit letters to further City and regional priorities.

E. Adopt City ordinances and policies to respond to and remain compliant with changes in law.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: The City’s lobbyist is engaged at an amount not to exceed $ 35,421.44 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and an amount not to exceed 36,089.87 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Community Character Priorities
Capital Projects
13 Capital Projects

1. Marine Safety Center
Summary: The existing Marine Safety Center is inadequate to continue to serve the community and beach visitors into the future. The current facility is dilapidated with design deficiencies that don’t meet the current needs of our lifeguards with respect to storage, operations, and technology, as well as facilities for persons of different genders/identities and ADA compliant improvements. A needs assessment study was completed in June 2017, which determined that the best alternative was to demolish the existing building and construct a new building.

A Professional Services Agreement with an architectural consultant was approved in October 2018, to develop a preliminary site and building design for a new Marine Safety Center.

Following a community meeting in February 2019, to kick off the project, the City consultant prepared three design options that were presented to the Council during a public hearing in November 2019. During this meeting, the Council directed Staff to pursue an above-ground design option. In October 2020, the City Manager returned to Council to present a revised conceptual above-ground design incorporating feedback and input received at the previous City Council meeting. This design was further refined to include a lifeguard observation tower at the bottom of the ramp per the direction of the Council.

In April 2022, the City worked with the consultant to have story poles installed for the threedimensional footprint of the proposed building. During this period, City Staff met with impacted residents to assess potential view impairments. Photo simulations were also prepared and presented to the City Council February 2023. After receiving testimony from the public, City Council provided further direction to the City Manager to modify the proposed design to minimize view impacts without jeopardizing the operational needs for the Lifeguard Station.

Several iterations of the proposed design have been presented to the City Council, including in November 2023 and January 2024. During each public hearing, comments were received from the Council, general public, including the nearby property owners, to further refine the design in order to minimize the potential view impacts. Council directed Staff in January 2024 to erect story poles based on the most recent design presented to Council. The City intends to install the story poles following the peak summer season to minimize impact to both summer Lifeguard operations and park activities. During the interim, the City will begin the work to obtain necessary City Development Review Permit (DRP)/Structure Development Permit (SDP), and will initiate discussions with the Coastal Commission for a Coastal Development Permit.

Upon receipt of the necessary permits and environmental compliance, the City will prepare final engineering and construction design documents to be released for bid for construction. While allocation of funding for construction of the Marine Safety Facility is still pending, throughout the next phases, the City will be exploring the availability of grant funding and/or alternative approaches for this significant public capital investment to ensure construction of this project can start at the earliest possible time given the remaining regulatory and financial requirements for this important City facility project.

Community Character Priorities
Capital Projects
14 There are several actions for future years that are unscheduled at this time. Once construction funding is identified, a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) can be submitted to the California Coastal Commission. Since the CDP is only valid for three years (a two-year initial term and a one year extension), Staff doesn’t want to obtain the CDP until there is some certainty that construction can start before the CDP expires. Environmental studies and clearance will be performed during the final design stage. Throughout all phases of the project, Staff will continue to look for grant funding for construction of the new Marine Safety Center.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Install new story poles based on updated design from January 2024.

B. Provide revised photo simulations of potential view claims for Council’s consideration.

C. Initiate coordination with the Coastal Commission Staff on the proposed project design.

D. Prepare environmental documentation and any additional technical studies.

E. Obtain City Development Review Permit (DRP)/Structure Development Permit (SDP).

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: As part of the update in January 2024, the City Council authorized an increase to the PSA with the Consultant (domusstudio) in the amount of $500,000. This budget allocation will carry forward into FY 2024/25 to allow the project to progress through the entitlement and permitting process, including receipt of an engineering cost estimate for a construction bid solicitation. It is anticipated that additional funding will be necessary in future fiscal years to complete the state permitting and go out to a competitive bid for construction.

2. Highland Drive Median Project
Summary: This project will provide drought-tolerant landscape improvements to the medians on Highland Drive, south of Lomas Santa Fe in front of the Country Club, that were constructed in 2023.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Develop landscaping plans using a palette of drought-tolerant plants with a cost estimate.

B. Conduct bid and implement landscaping and associated irrigation.

Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: Preliminary tasks will be performed by in-house Staff; construction costs are estimated at $80,000.

3. La Colonia Park Improvements
Summary: In 2006, a community-based La Colonia Park Needs Assessment Advisory Committee developed recommendations for improvements throughout La Colonia Park, which included among other improvements, ADA-compliant ramps and access through the park and facilities. The City completed the conceptual design for the park improvements in December 2009 and preliminary design of the park in September 2010.

Community Character Priorities
Capital Projects
15 Over the last year, the City has worked on a complete renovation of the Tot Lot at La Colonia Park. On May 22, 2024, the City had the grand re-opening of the newly renovated playground.

The playground was designed to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring children of all abilities can enjoy all of the play features. Wheelchair-accessible equipment, ground-level activities, and inclusive play elements were integrated into this diverse and inclusive City facility.

With the City’s purchase of the property immediately north of the skate park, there was a need to re-evaluate the property and existing park, and the needs and priorities. The Council approved a PSA for updating the La Colonia Master Plan in February 2022, and a public workshop was held in February 2023 to gather community input on priorities and needs for design, operations, and facilities onsite. An update was provided to the City Council in March 2024, at which Council authorized an additional $70,000 for architectural services to refine the conceptual design alternatives based on the public and Council feedback and to receive additional input from key stakeholders.

While ongoing maintenance and smaller facility and park improvements are programmed, the City continues to seek additional funding for expansion, park improvements, including ADAcompliant renovations in compliance with the City’s ADA Transition Plan.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

Summary: The CATS study approved by Council in 2015, identifies approximately 20 bicycle and pedestrian projects along various City streets that improve the bikeability and walkability of streets and neighborhoods in the City in alignment with the Climate Action Plan (CAP) and Vision Zero principles. There are a variety of CATS projects along key corridors within the City:

Cedros Avenue, Sierra Avenue, Cliff Street, the Academy/Ida/Genevieve/Valley Corridor, Nardo Avenue, and key corridors surrounding the City’s schools under the Safe Routes to Schools Program. The Lomas Santa Fe Drive Corridor project and the Santa Helena Neighborhood Trail have been included into separate Work Plan Priority Items due to the scope and/or funding.

A next step for the CATS is to create a 5-year implementation plan, with proposed projects organized based on specific criteria of need, effectiveness, and preliminary cost. Also included should be key grant opportunities and preliminary review of grant competitiveness and scope.

To build off of the City’s CATS, and upon completion of the SANDAG Vision Zero toolbox, the City should move forward with the preparation of a Vision Zero strategy. First implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero is a policy adopted by municipalities to work toward the elimination of all traffic fatalities and sever injuries. The City already is greatly aligned with Vision Zero through our roadway design, active transportation prioritization, Safe Routes to Schools initiatives, and traffic calming projects. These planning efforts and capital project implementation prioritize more safe and efficient mobility options in our neighborhoods and for our residents. A Vision Zero strategy addresses the five E’s: Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Evaluation and Enforcement. The City is actively participating in the regional “Vision Zero” task force developed that is being led by SANDAG.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Create a five-year implementation plan for the projects listed in the CATS study, focusing on the initiation of one or two projects annually.

6. Lomas Santa Fe Corridor Project
Summary: The Lomas Santa Fe Corridor project is a top priority of the CATS project above.

Due to the significance of this project and the multiple benefits it could provide to the community, it has been separated into its own Work Plan Priority Item. The project study area for the Lomas Santa Fe (LSF) Drive Corridor Project extends from Cedros Avenue on the East side of Highway 101 to Highland Drive at the City’s eastern boundary. The City’s goal for the Lomas Santa Fe Corridor Project is to construct physical improvements to improve the community character, safety, walkability, bikeability and circulation along this key east-west arterial through the City of Solana Beach.

Some of the elements included in Phase III (final design) are a multi-use path on the north side of LSF, striping and signal improvements, added parking, landscaping and other items intended to slow down traffic and increase use of the corridor by pedestrians and bicycles. The final design for the project was approved by the City Council on May 26, 2021. Partial funding for construction of the easterly segment of the project (from Santa Helena to Highland Drive) was secured from Congressman Levin’s office. Staff is working with Caltrans to obligate the $7,000,000 in federal funding. Since the project initially started using non-federal funds, NEPA clearance (the federal version of CEQA) was not performed. Staff is currently working on NEPA clearance with the help of the Caltrans Local assistance team. Additionally, further engineering work has been completed to adjust alignment to comply with federal funding obligations, and avoid impact to private property. Staff is currently working through the federal procurement process that is required before the east side corridor improvements can be advertised for construction bids. Based on the current project schedule, it is anticipated that a construction contract can be awarded in late Fall of 2024, construction can begin at the beginning of calendar year 2025.

Under the present design, construction of the west side corridor improvements, from the west side of Interstate 5 to Cedros Avenue, are projected at approximately $8 Million. Presently the City has received approximately $850,000 for the west side construction project, and the City Staff is working to secure additional funding through budgetary earmarks and grant funding.

FY 2024/25 Actions:

A. Develop Construction Manager Request For Proposal (RFP) and select the most qualified consultants for the City Council’s consideration during construction award process.

B. Evaluate and apply for potential construction grant funding for the west section of the project.

C. Execute amendment to the PSA with City’s consultant to Prepare Construction Plans, Specifications, Estimate for the west side for competitive bidding purposes.

18 Summary of Budgetary Projections for FY 2024/25: A grant from SANDAG, in the amount of approximately $616,000, was obtained for Phase III design. With a 10% match committed by the City, the total amount of funding secured for Phase III design was approximately $684,000.

Construction of the entire length of the corridor is estimated to cost approximately $15 million.

The project was separated into two segments for construction purposes. The first phase consisting of the easterly segment of the project (from Santa Helena to Highland Drive) was estimated at $7 Million, which has been secured from Congressman Levin’s office. The second phase is the west side (from I-5 to Cedros Avenue) is projected to cost approximately $8 Million.

To date, the City has received $850,000 from Congressman Levin’s office. The City is expecting to budget and expend the funding received for the east side in FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26; the $850,000 of funding expected to be received for the west side is still being programmed and further funding is being sought to complete this important corridor project. No additional funding is requested for FY 2024/25 at this time.

7. Santa Helena Neighborhood Trail
Summary: The paved area on Santa Helena, north of Sun Valley Road, is approximately 64 feet wide. At least 20 feet of the paved area could be converted into a roadside linear park. The proposed project would reduce the pavement width on Santa Helena, from Sun Valley Road to the trail head at the San Elijo Lagoon and use the additional space for traffic calming improvements and a neighborhood trail. A focus group meeting was held with representatives from several local HOAs, community members and BikeWalkSolana to discuss the proposed project design and receive feedback. The Conceptual Design was presented to City Council in March 2020, and a consultant contract was awarded in July 2021. In October 2021, Staff conducted a community meeting to present the design and seek additional community input.

To expedite traffic calming at the Santa Helena/Santa Victoria intersection (east of Solana Vista School) and implement Safe Routes to School recommendations sooner the project implementation was broken in phases. The first phase of construction will exclude all landscaping, irrigation and work north of Santa Victoria, and implement the recommendations contained in the CATS and Safe Routes to School studies.
