BAND BOOSTERS REQUEST Councilman Hobel questioned the City Manager

by Councilman Egdahl that the staff bring
back a report on that policy and that it be
an agenda item next week (January 28 meeting)
at which time the Council will make a deci-
sion one way or another.
Discussion of motion Councilman Egdahl noted that the matter could

Russell Moore Mr. Moore commended the Council on the ac-

Woodlawn Park areas with the intent of
annexing these areas to the City of Chula
Vista.
City Attorney's comments Mr. Lindberg stated that the County is now
attempting to reorganize the special dis-

BAND BOOSTERS REQUEST (During the break, the Council received a
copy of the City policy concerning contri-
butions to various organizations and indi-
viduals.,)
Council questions Mrs. Cook answered the Council's inquiries
concerning the number of students who would
participate in the program (165); that there
would be no liability on the part of the
City as each parent signs a permission
slip; the group is not a private organization
in any way -- it is afiiliated with the public
schools.
City Attorney's opinion Mr. Lindberg stated he was not certain that
the Council could make contributions to another
agency (schools) that has taxing power and
should be able to handle the financial
support of activities of this kind. He
asked for a continuance of this matter so
that he can talk to the County Counsel and
find out if the school district itself will
be funding this program.
Mrs. Cook commented that the group has not
made any financial requesB from the school
district, but plan to do so in the near
future.
Motion for postponement It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded
by Councilman Scott that the decision on this
matter be postponed and comments be asked
City Council Meeting 4 January 21, 1975
from the City Attorney next week on the
legality of making this kind of contribution.
Also, in providing for this support,
to what extent would the City sustain a
liability in the event of some accident.
Amended motion It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded
by Councilman Scott that the motion be
amended to indicate the sense of the
Council that if the legal matters concerned
can be resolved, this Council would support,
on matching fund basis with the school
district, a contribution up to $2,500.
Discussion of motion Councilman Hyde explained that his motion
did not preclude the fact that should the
school district not contribute to this pro-
gram, the City would still have the option
of making a contribution on its own.
Amendment carried The amended motion carried unanimously.
Main motion carried The main motion for the postponement and a
report from the City Attorney next week
carried unanimously.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS
REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF City Manager Thomson explained that on
FEES BY AL BAHR TEMPLE November 5, 1974, the City Council received
CIRCUS a request from the A1 Bahr Temple for a
waiver of fees and permission to hold a
circus at Southwestern College on June 21
and 22, 1975.
Mr. ~omson added that under the staff-
developed proposal for a Council policy
regarding the waiver of fees, this re-
quest would not qualify and therefore,
it would be a policy decision of the
Council,
Council discussion Councilman ltobel commented that this is a
non-profit organization and although not
located in Chula Vista, the citizens of
this community have the opportunity to
avail themselves of the services provided
(burn centers, hospitals) by this,group.
Motion for support It was moved by Councilman Hobel and
seconded by Councilman Hyde that the re-
quest be approved and the fees waived.
Discussion of motion In answer to Councilman Egdahl's query,
Councilman Hobel stated that his motion did
include the fact that the fee be deposited
and after clean-up, the fee could be re-
funded (as recommended in the staff report).
Amended motion It was moved by Councilman Hyde and seconded
by Councilman Hobel that the $12.S0 fee for
the distribution of handbills also be waived.
Discussion of motions Councilman Scott said he would like to have
a report on the policy other cities have in
waiving fees for services, carnivals and
the like. He discussed the fact that in
some cases the amount of money that an
organization gets is nominal as compared
with the amou~ the carnival or circus
operation gets. He felt this is an area
that should be looked into.
City Council Meeting 7 January 21, 1975
Councilman Hyde suggested requiring a
sworn statement from the applicant setting
forth the terms of the financial agreement
between the applicant and the vendor.
Suggestion for inclusion Councilman Egdahl noted the newly-adopted
in the motion policy ~ereby the City Manager can make
this request in all future waivers. He
added that this approval should be made
subject to that stipulation.
Included in motion Councilman Ifobel stated he would include
this in his motion; Councilman Hyde agreed
to the second~

primarily to the hiring of labor and trade
classifications where unemployment is most
extreme at this time.

by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried
that staff be given approval to proceed.
CITY POLICY ON WAIVING Because of the large number of organizations
FEES FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES requesting a waiver of fees for licensed

Council at the meeting of January 14.
The Council held the matter o~ter for one week
requesting more information regarding
past Parks and Recreation waivers.

begun preliminary budget preparation and is
in the process of resurveying golf course
fees throughout the courses in San Diego
County. At budget time, he will make recom-
mendations based upon projected expenditures

each Sunday.
Mr. Hall explained that the Pro is required
by contract to wash the coufti ~d it is
his prerogative to set the time period.
Mr. Hall added that the problem is the
slickness of the playing~urface~' at the
City-owned tennis facilities. He recommended
that the courts be resurfaced with a non-
slip acrylic surface (both at General Roca
and Southwestern), repaired and "col-r-toned."
The total cost of the project would be
$4,840: the amount of $3,800 to come from

HOME~UPANC¥ BUSINESS written by Assistant City Attorney Beam
concerning the request of Mr. and Mrs.
Poblete-Moas for a sign on their property
at 378 Roosevelt Street denoting the business
of their home occupation.
Mr. Beam stated that a sign is not allowed
by the Zoning Ordinance and a variance could
not be granted based upon a personal hard-
ship of the person seeking the variance -
as is the case here.
Mr. Beam suggested the Planning Commission
consider whether or not that section of the
Zoning Ordinance relating to home occupa-
tions should be modified as to all home
occupations tb p~rmit small signs to identify
the t>~e of enterprise being conducted.

REPORT ON CONDITIONS ~ written report to the Council was submitted
OF APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL by Planning Director Peterson concerning the
USE PRRMIT FOR THE CHULA use permit application approved for the
VISTA LION'S CLUB Chula Vista ~£on~ Club on March 20, 1972 to
permit an offstreet parking area in an R-3
zone at 522-533 Fourth Avenue. Mr. ttenry
Mueller, on behalf of the Lion's Club,
filed an appeal on December 6, 1974. The
City Attorney ruled that the appeal was not
valid based on the fact that the appeal
period had expired. Mr. ~Mueller subsequently
addressed the Council on January 21, 1975
concerning this matter.
The conditions of approval established by
the Planning Commission concerned the land-
scaping and fencing~ Mr. Peterson remarked
that the only area of disagreement relates
to the location of the landscaping along
City Council Meeting 10 January 21~ 1975
the alley. The applicant proposed that the
landscaping be located inside the wall, whereas
the staff recommended it be located between
the wall and the alley. Mr~ Peterson ex-
plained that the rationale for placing the
landscaping in the five-foot area between
the mall and alley is that the sight
distance for traffic exiting the parking
lot would be improved if the wall or fence
is set back five feet from the alley
property line.
Council discussion In answer to the Mayor's query, Mr. Peterson
explained the reasons for the expired
appeal period.
The Council further discussed the aesthe-
tics of having the landscaping inside the
wal_, the safety factor involved, and the
possibility of the Lion's Club reapplying
for the development of that parking area.
Mr. Peterson commented that the Planning
Commission just rejected the plan two
weeks ago and he could not see them
changing their minds now. He added that
the only difference between the applicant
and what the Commission required pertains
to the location of the landscaping - inside
or outside the fence, If the applicant
had come to the Planning Department and talked
to them about working this out without going
to Council, it could have been resolved.
Referred to Planning staff It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman HobeI and unanimously carried
that this matter be referred back to the
planning staff to be worked out in a spirit
of cooperative endeavor and report back to
the Council the results thereof.

problem with this 1-5 widening -- that
according to the Coast Guard, no permit has
been applied for. This individual then
contacted Mr. Roger Clark from the State
Division of Highways who indicated that the
State is not anxious to proceed with the
widening until such time as Route 54 comes
across and the whole project can be con-
structed at one time.
Acting Assistant City Manager Cole explained
that in his conversations with Mr. Clark, he
understood that if the State could move on
this widening~ they could make a change order
mn the 1-805 project and put in the detour
for the I-5/54 interchange. The Coast
Guard informed the Highway Division that
they would have ~o submit, in accordance
with certain laws under the new ecology

federal law.
Councilman Egdahl agreed but noted that it
is enforced by the State and requested a
report on this.
STATUS REPORT - NEW LIBRARY Councilman Egdahl noted the report received
