A) The City Council on November 23, 1976, by Resolution No. 8422, adopted a citizen

December 14, 1976 as the date and time for the first public hearing. The purpose
of this public hearing is to provide citizens of Chula Vista with an opportunity
to express their views as to the allocation of Community Development Block Grant
funds to be made available to the City in the amount of approximately $965,000 by
Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. A notice of this
public hearing has been published in the Chula Vista Star News. This notice was
also included in a packet which was mailed to some thirty-five organizations as
part of the citizen participation process. In addition, staff has contacted the
City Boards and Commissions regarding citizen input and program priorities.
B) The City is mandated by Block Grant Rules and Regulations to hold at least two public
hearings in order to comply with citizen participation requirements. It is, therefore,
requested that Council set January 11, 1977 at 7:00 p. m. as the date and time for
the second public hearing relative to the preparation of the Community Development
Plan.

T0: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Chairman, Safety Commission
SUBJECT: 1977-1978 Block Grant Allocation
In response to Mayor Hamilton's letter to Boards and Commissions
Chairmen dated Povember 1, 1976, the Safety Commission at its
regular November 24, 1976 business meeting unanimously concurred
in the recommendation that positive consideration be given to the
need for more adequate "'flood and drainage facilities in the
City of Chula Vista. This is considered to be a matter of public
safety and well being, applicable to the security of both property
and individuals. The subject facilities are listed as an "eligible
activity", authorized for funding under Federal Block Grants.
Dlumerous inadequate and poorly connected "open" drainage stews
currently exist in many parts of the City. The primary capacity
and efficiency of these slews is often greatly impaired by rubble,
debris, excessive vegetation overgrowth, and unstable or non-existent
sleva surfaces. A complete system of adequate drainage facilities
throughout the City to minimize the potential hazard to public safety
and property on the occasion of unseasonably heavy rainfalls from time
to time is long past due.
It is strongly recommended that past studies
suggested facilities, as well as current-like
reviewed. The possibility of applying for an
Block Grant Funds to adequately provide for t
facilities should be thoroughly explored.

FROG-1: Chairman, Youth Commission
SUBJECT: 1977-1973 Block Grant Flllocation
The Youth Commission has t!NO recommendations for Black Grant fund
proposals for 1976-1977.
The first one is to purchase and restore an existing building in Chula
Vista. This building would be used as a Community Center with possible
space alloted to the Girls' Club of Chula Vista. The Commission feels
this is necessary because yoang people as well as their parents and
elders need a central place to attend such things as community craft
and music classes and community functions. 41e also felt it might be
feasible to allow the Chula Vista Girls' Club to use a few rooms of
this building because their membership is expanding rapidly and their
present facility is quite small.
The other proposal frorn the Youth Commission is to install lighted
jogging trails and jogging tracks in some already existing parks in
our City. Jogging is becoming increasingly popular and we would like
to make it a safe as well as a healthy sport for our community. The
Commission would like to note that the high school tracks in our area
are not lighted at night.
