equitability of state funding for local governments.
k. Reallocate sales and property taxes to the benefit of local governments,
specifically via actions of the California Constitutional Review

booking fee legislation and SB 323, attempting to broaden the Public
Records Act.)
h. Infringe on home rule authority to act on local budget and fiscal matters
or other municipal affairs.
i. Overhaul the California Public Records Act in a way that would: restrict T'~'
cities' control of the means of access to information assets (e,g.

U.S. stops.
Resolution 18151
Page 5
f. Facilitate increases in Open Space District assessments by an amount
not to exceed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or higher if increased
costs are beyond the control of local governments (e.g. imposed by
water districts).
(NOTE: Current restrictions on special assessments, and other
"reauthorization" or protest proposals, such as ACA 45, infringe on the
City's ability to recover the costs of water utility increases and other
effects of inflation.)
g. Select Chula Vista as the site of a new University of California campus.
(NOTE: This item has been included in the past as a part of the
legislative work program, but lately had been of a lesser priority as the
UC system stalled in its designation of a Central Valley campus site. Per
Council direction, this will be a priority issue in 1996.)
h. Locate freeway signage for the ARCO Training Center along Interstate
5.
(NOTE: This item is currently being pursued with CalTrans at the staff
level. Legislative authorization would only be considered if these efforts
prove unsuccessful.)
i. Provide funding for the Chula Vista SMARTCommunity program,
alternative fuels programs, telecenter programs, and other technology-
based projects.
(NOTE: Although most outside funding will likely continue to be from
grant or city funding sources, some "demonstration project" hardware

2. Oppose efforts to:
a. Mandate district elections in all cities and/or school districts.
b. Limit: imposition of franchise fees, taxes, or other compensation for use

c. U,S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration
(EDA)
d. U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Economic Development

F. Land Use Planning.
1. Support efforts to:
a. Strengthen local government's powers and capacity to prepare, adopt
and implement fiscal plans and programs for orderly growth,
development, beautification, and conservation of their planning areas.
b. Are consistent with the doctrine of "home rule" and the local exercise
of police powers, through the planning and zoning processes, over local

programs, and to adopt five year capital improvement programs and
financing plans which are consistent with their facility master plans.
g. Permit processing/provide funding for a Master EIR for
biomedical/biotech industrial development in Chula Vista.
2. Oppose efforts to:
a. Abridge local government's ability to effectively plan, or regulate local
land use including: amendments to the laws governing local agency
formation (LAFCO); legislation which would financially overburden local
governments in their efforts to amend planning policy, regulate land use
through removal of incompatible developments, redevelop blighted
areas, or annex territories which are within the spheres of influence.
b. Site a regional or bi-national airport in the Otay Mesa area.
G. Environmental Protection.
1. Support efforts to

Resolution 18151
Page 9
b. Obtain funding for wetlands and riparian habitat acquisition and
restoration, and funding for acquisition of land needed for multi-species
habitat conservation planning.
c. Fund planning and land acquisition for Natural Community Conservation
plans created by AB 2172 (Kelley) (1991).

state-owned coastal waters off of San Diego County.
f. Encourage the installation of water conserving fixtures in existing

g. Obtain funding for water conservation to include the construction of
reclaimed water distribution systems, and fixture and irrigation system
renovation and retrofit.
h. Develop an ongoing, reliable statewide funding source to acquire,
develop and/or maintain open space, greenbelts, rivers, streams and
I"' trails.
i. Expand and utilize existing landfills in the county.
Encourage post-consumer recycled products use in manufacturing,
residential and business applications through incentives, education,
promotions, etc.
k. Truth in labeling efforts which identify a product's regional recyclability,
and its post-consumer recycled content.
I. Require "disposal warning" labeling on household hazardous materials,
which reduce the use of toxic materials, and which promote nontoxic
alternatives to present materials,
m. Require minimum content standards for use of recycled materials in
manufacturing processes.
n. Provide funding for environmental enterprise incentives, specifically
Recycling Market Development Zones.
(NOTE: Statewide RMDZ authorization expires in 1997.)
o. Continue authorization for bottle bill legislation, such as AB 1467, Ch.
! 1259, Statutes of 1993 and SB 1178, Ch. 624, Statutes of 1995,
providing state payments to agencies which operate curbside recycling
programs.
Resolution 18151
Page 10
7..
(NOTE: State support under this law helps subsidize the city's curbside
recycling program. SB 1178 extends various provisions through 1/1/99,
but the form of the bottle bill program and its support for local curbside
recycling programs is a continuing issue.)
p. Expand the bottle bill or other advance disposal fees to provide recycling
incentives and funding for other materials, such as liquor and fruit juice
bottles and used motor oil.
(NOTE: Additional bottle bill designations and deposits would increase
recovery of recyclables and assist in cost recovery of curbside
collection.)
q. Eliminate plastic and glass processing or handling fees,
(NOTE: These fees are assessed to manufacturers rather than
consumers and thus do not provide an incentive for consumers to
recycle. None of this funding supports local curbside programs.)
r. Enact a statewide landfill ban on designated recyclables.
(NOTE: Such a ban would encourage development of new feedstock
capacity and strengthen/stabilize long term markets.)
s. Reauthorize the Federal Water Resources Act, including provisions to
raise the reimbursement limit and provide reimbursement for
construction expenditures.
(NOTE: With a revised reimbursement limit, Chula Vista could be eligible
for up to an additional $5 million for further improvements along the
Telegraph Canyon Creek flood control channel.)
t. Modify the Clean Water Act to give the City of San Diego an exemption
rather than a waiver from the requirement of upgrading the Point Loma
treatment plant to a secondary treatment facility or providing reclaimed
water.
(NOTE: Existing mandates carry a potential cost of -~1.7 + billion to San
Diego County---approximately $130 million to Chula Vista. Reclaimed
water would add a cost of $10 per residence per month. An exemption
from these requirements would provide greater/more lasting cost
protection than a waiver.)
u. Limit environmental mitigation requirements for construction and
maintenance of drainage facilities in urban areas especially in developed
neighborhoods,
(NOTE: At present, the city may be required to purchase mitigation land
amounting to as much as four times the project size. With projects in
m ~1 T
Resolution 18151
Page 11
developed neighborhoods, mitigation requirements can require more
complex drainage improvements and the dedication of larger portions of
the property owner's lot.)
v. Repeal AB 3158, Ch. 1706, Statutes of 1990 (Fish and Game fees)
(NOTE: This law requires all I~roject applicants and public agencies
subject to CEQA to I~ay the Department of Fish and Game a filing fee of
~1,250 for projects requiring negative declarations and $850 for those
requiring Environmental Impact Reports. Although the Department has
ceased collection of the fees due to a recent court decision, the fees are
still on the books.)
w. Grant local agencies authority to file appeals with the State Water
Quality Control Board (SWQCB) concerning actions by a Regional Water
Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
x. In any prol~osals for utility restructuring, 1) preserve local agency
flexibility to be an active participant in aggregating or serving local
energy needs, and 2) encourage the implementation of residential rate
relief.
(NOTE: The California Public Utilities Commission and Legislature are
considering a drastic restructuring for the state utilities industry. Cities
such as Palm Springs have been exploring the concept of acting as a
"utility aggregator" and playing a more active role in the wake of the
deregulation to come. Although no such action is recommended for
Chu~a Vista as yet, it is important that local interests be considered and
home rule flexibility preserved as the new industry rules are written.)
y. Provide information on "source of power generation" to allow consumer
choice or incentives to I~urchase renewable energy.
(NOTE: In furtherance of Chula Vista's commitment to development and
commercialization of alternative fuels, it is recommended the public be
given the opportunity to choose their power sources in a restructured
utility industry based on environmental criteria, and that, if appropriate,
incentives be created for such choices,)
z. Advance the use of low and zero emission vehicles through market
incentives, credits, rebates, public/private partnerships and other
innovative solutions.
(NOTE: The Legislature is considering changes to the current ZEV
regulations for manufacturers. The above position would restate the
City's commitment to a cleaner environment via promotion of alternative
fuels.)
Resolution 18151

H. Public Employer-Employee Relations.
1. Support efforts to:
a. Protect the rights of City's to establish conditions of employment,

Security System and/or Medicare.

reforms.
d. Mandate changes, impose limitations, and/or other benefit plans, wages,
hours, or working conditions which are properly determined through the
meeting and confer process.
e. Mandate mental health coverage in group health insurance plans.
f. Reduce local control over public employee disputes and impose
regulations of an outside agency (such as PERS).
g. Prohibit an employer from testing an employee or applicant for

1. Support efforts to:
a. Change the legal principal of "joint and several liability" to protect the
City against "deep pocket" liability.
b. Reinforce public entity design and discretionary act immunity.
c. Prohibit recovery by a plaintiff for injury where those injuries were
caused as a result of avoiding a police pursuit. .
Resolution 18151
Page 13
d. Enact tort liability reform
(NOTE: To minimize governmental financial exposure from frivolous
lawsuits, both the state legislature and Congress have introduced
various tort reform proposals. In particular, these proposals can provide
protection to local law enforcement and dispatch personnel.)
2. Oppose efforts to:
a. Further erode government immunity.
b. Force the City to accept risks it would not normally accept in the
ordinary course of business, such as in the case of mandating
acceptance of below-grade or low-grade sureties on performance bonds
or labor and materials bonds.
(NOTE: This was done recently in Civil Code §995.660 and .670. Such
mandates can result from special interest legislation from insurance or
financial industries.)
J. Public Safety.
t"' 1. Support efforts to:
a. Strengthen present State and Federal laws which give local governments
the power to further restrict or regulate prostitution.
b. Increase penalties for the manufacture or sale for profit of dangerous
drugs including but not limited to PCP, methamphetamine and narcotics.
c. Prohibit the sale and brandishing of replica or facsimile firearms.
d. Toughen drunk driving laws, penalties or enhancements.

2. Oppose efforts to:
a. Preempt local ordinances concerning Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
b. Overturn or reduce the funding for items contained in the federal Crime
Act of 1994,
(NOTE: Congress has expressed some interest in rewriting the 1994
Crime Bill, particularly the prevention portions of it such as funding for
midnight basketball programs. Current proposals---HR 3 and S 3---would
recast the Crime Bill as state or local block grants, with final funding yet
to be determined. Approximate funds at stake for Chula Vista:
$116,000)
K. Public Works/Transportation. '~',,
1. Support efforts to:
a. Enact clean-up legislation related to transportation funding.
b. Provide funding which would complete missing freeway links; emphasis
on SR-125 and 1-905, In this regard, establish the Sweetwater segment
of SR-125 as a project of statewide significance.
(NOTE: Private toll-road funding for 1-905 may provide a needed boost
to complete this transit corridor and take additional traffic off Chula
Vista surface streets leading to 1-805.)
c. Fund local transportation projects.
d. Reduce municipal costs associated with CALTRANS projects.
e. Amend the Transit Development Act (TDA) to allow bus advertising
revenue to be earmarked for discounted youth transit passes or other
non-traditional programs.
f. Allow local agencies flexibility in compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act to provide the greatest benefit to the local disabled
population, rather than committing scarce resources to achievement of I T'
2% maximum sidewalk and driveway slopes. ,
Resolution 18151
Page 15
L. Recreation.

a. Provide state/federal funding for City programs in: the arts; child care;
gang prevention and diversion, and drug prevention and intervention in
a community-based recreation setting.
M. Library.
1. Support efforts to:
a. Provide for continued funding of: the state Public Library Fund (PLF),
California Library Services Act (CLSA), Library Services and
Construction Act (LSCA), Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA),
literacy programs, library construction and renovation, and access to
new technologies.
(NOTE: Changes are recommended to recognize changes in law but also
to add generic support for the ever-growing field of library technologies.)
Ih LEGISLATIVE ITEMS REQUIRING FORMAL COUNCIL ACTION.
t A. Bayfront - Redevelopment.

2. Watch efforts to:
a. Favor/require utilities to allow "wheeling" (delivery of electricity, gas or
water purchased from other sources) to major users or cities.
(NOTE: Wheeling could potentially allow for 1 ) greater water availability T""
and fewer constraints on local development and 2) more competitive,
lower cost utilities. Staff recommends a close watch be put on related
proposals such as Imperial Valley water transfers, CPUC free-market
restructuring, etc., with formal positions to be subject to further Council
input,)
C. General Government.
1. Support efforts to:
a. Fund school facility construction programs.
