Item 9
Meeting Date 7/16/85
ITEM TITLE: Resolution A.-Zei Authorizing the Director of Public
Works/City Engineer to call up all deferrals for public
improvements
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer 017
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
At the Council meeting of April 2, 1985, Council called up deferrals that it
had granted in the past for improvements on Las Flores Drive and "D" Street.
Over the years, the process of granting deferrals has rested in the hands of:
1) the City Council , 2) the Planning Commission, and 3) the City Engineer. In
the area of Las Flores Drive and "D" Street, all three parties had granted
deferrals, therefore, all three parties were calling up deferrals. Council
directed that staff return with a policy for calling up deferrals by one party
irregardless of who granted the deferral .
RECOMMENDATION: That the resolution be approved authorizing the City
Engineer to call up deferrals.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N.A.
DISCUSSION:
As a result of the Booz Allen Hamilton review of the Planning Department, the
policy for granting deferrals was changed to make this an administrative
action by the City Engineer. So currently, all deferrals granted by the City
Engineer are called up by the City Engineer. However, deferrals that are
still in existence from past actions by the Planning Commission and/or City
Council are called up by those parties. This resolution would authorize the
City Engineer to call up all deferrals for public improvements.
It seems apparent that if all current deferrals that are granted can be called
up by the City Engineer and that it is Council 's desire to have all deferrals
called up by one person that it would be appropriate that person be the City
Engineer. Since there is the possibility that the party would object to
having their deferral called up and would appeal , there should be a procedure
to allow that person to appeal the City Engineer' s action to the City
Council . This resolution provides for that procedure.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 9 , 9b
Meeting Date 7445
PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of the Establishment of a Community Planning
Committee for the Montgomery Area
ITEM TITLE: b. Ordinance.'(/7 - Amending Section 2.48.040 pertaining to the
Formation of a Community Planning Committee in Territory
Proposed for Annexation SECOND READING AND ADOPTION
SUBMITTED BY: City Attorney 130 (4/5ths Vote: Yes No )
The proposed ordinance would add an option to the Municipal Code authorizing
Council to commit itself to appointing the top voter getters in an advisory
election to a community planning committee.
RECOMMENDATION:
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Section 2.48.040 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code presently provides for two
)ptions for establishing a community planning committee in an area proposed
for annexation. One option is to put a slate of candidates composed of
electors of the area to be annexed on the ballot and the alternative method is
to have the City Council appoint the members.
It has been proposed that an advisory measure be put on the ballot in November
of 1985 composed of a slate of electors from the Montgomery area who would
desire to be appointed to a community planning committee. Our current
ordinance allows Council to appoint the top vote getters. In order to give
further assurance to the residents of Montgomergy that those who garner the
most votes are in fact appointed to the committee, it is proposed that our
ordinance be amended to authorize Council to commit to these appointments at
the time of the public hearing when the question of formation of the committee
is considered.
The amendment adds a third alternative which allows Council to adopt a
resolution requiring that the seven candidates with the most votes be
appointed to the community planning committee.
The City Clerk has contacted the Fair Political Practices Commission and has
been advised that nominees for the Committee would have to fill out candidate
disclosure forms even though the election is merely advisory and their
placement on the Committee will actually be by appointment. For purposes of
the Political Reform Act, they are treated as candidates.
