PUBLIC HEARING - CHULA VISTA At the Council meeting of February 15, 1972, DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Resolution No. 6345 was adopted declaring the Council's intention to amend Ordinance No. 1372 which established a parking and improvement area and levied an additional business tax for upgrading and promoting the area, by reducing the additional business license fee imposed upon businesses located within the area. March 7, 1972, was set as the time for a public hearing to consider the adjustment of the ad- ditional business license levy and to recon- sider the structure and manner of the election of the Advisory Co~unittee. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened. Domingo Quintero, Attorney Mr. Quintero stated that he and Mr. Tom Gade Charter Oil Building represent the Merchants' Protective Association, 110 West "C" Street and he asked for those present who belong to Suite 1707, San Diego the Association to stand. (Approximately 40 people stood.) Mr. Quintero spoke in favor of the proposed changes. He stated the Associa- tion thinks the district as it is now set up is inequitable to their interests and does not represent the majority of the businessmen on Third Avenue encompassed by this district. - 1 - He suggests the collection of the additional busi- ness license fees and the ordinance be held in abeyance until July 1, 1972. The Association would like to see an election held May 1S or 16 so the m~mbers of the district can, in a City- supervised election, have four candidates elected to the Advisory Committee. If, after the election, the committee votes to abolish the district, they would like to see the Council abide by this decision. Mr. Quintero stated he would like to see the resolution passed as proposed. Councilman Hobel asked Mr. Quintero how many businesses are represented. Mr. Quintero stated that each member represented one business; there are approximately 114 businesses. Martin Altbaum Mr. Altbaum questioned where this resolution was created. No one from his committee has pre- viously heard of this resolution; therefore, he is against the resolution. Mr. Altbaum said there are probably 114 signatures on the Mer- chants' Protective Association's petition; however, he thinks that many of the businessmen who signed are not completely aware of the goals of this organization. City Attorney's comments City Attorney Lindberg stated that the Council is trying to provide a method for a democratic expression for all in this resolution. There was a general discussion of the proposed resolution, election and Advisory Committee. City Attorney Lindberg stated that if the present committee decided to submit a "zero dollar budget", the City Council could not decide to direct a budget expenditure in any amount con- trary to the committee's decision. So the ma- jority of the present committee is determining the fate of this district; all proposals are submitted to the Ceun¢il who makes the final decisions. The Council also has the actual authority to dissolve the district. Election for committee Mr. Altbaum stated he had asked that tabulation of the votes for the openings on the Advisory Committee be conducted by the City Clerk. The election was eventually held by the Chamber of Commerce as an adjunct activity of the Downtown Association. He feel~ this was wrong; there should have been an open election in his opinion. The election for their four committee seats was an open election with the votes tabulated by the City Clerk. Mr. Altbaum is in favor of an open election but does not like the idea that seven people can de- cide the fate of the improvement district after all the work done by so many for the past couple years. Mayor Hamilton stated the final responsibility of any decision is up to the Council. Niek Slijk Mr. Slijk stated that in a special Board of Di- Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce rectors meeting held on March 3, 197Z~ at the ~equest of the Downtown Association, the Board endorsed the promotion district in the present form. - 2 - Mr. Slijk stated that the Chamber has been in- volved in matters of improvement districts for the past eight years and during this time the Chamber has observed such districts in many communities. Some districts have experienced some difficulty when first being formed; but after being in operation, the district shows great improvement and there are not as many difficulties. Mr. Slijk stated that Ken We~el, President of the Downtown Association, made regular reports to the Board as to how the district was being formed. E1 Monte Councilman Scott asked if any community has had a large amount of opposition to an improvement dis- trict. Mr. Slijk indicated that £1 Monte did have a lot of opposition but has since worked out its problems and now has a very fine district. Standlee McMains Mr. McMains questioned whether the Merchants' 254 Guava Avenue Protective Association is for or against the district. Tommy Couch Mr. Couch stated that the formation of the Mer- President of Merchants' chants' Protective Association was organized to Protective Association get a fair and equitable voice in the selection 53S Nolan Nay of the Advisory Committee. The Association is opposing the present district because of the way it was set up and for the way the election was handled and they would also like to have a voice in matters regarding their own businesses. Mr. Couch stated he will support the majority after the election. In answer to an inquiry by Councilman Egdahl, Mr. Couch stated it is the intention of the Mer- chants' Protective Association to remain in effect regardless of how the election goes in order to voice their opinions ~egarding their own businesses. Nick Slijk ~r. Slijk stated that the election held by the Downtown Association was based on one vote per business license. Martin Altbaum Mr. Altbaum indicated that notices of all meet- Chub's Club, Third Avenue ings were sent to all the people in the district. Domingo Quintero Mr. Quintero stated it seems everyone is in agreement to hold an election; therefore, he again submits the proposal to have an election. Bob McMains Mr. McMains stated he is in favor of the Council 230 Elm Street retaining the recommended amounts ~ 10, 8 and 6 times - for the assessments. The original assess- ment for $35,000 was reduced to $26,000 and the present board feels this is ample to get the district started. Me is in accord with having an election; however, he feels the assessment amounts should not be changed. Jack Harper Mr. Harper commented on the fact that it might be Harper's Music Store feasible just to lower the fees this year since so much time has already elapsed. One of the concerns of the people in the district was that the fees remain stable and not increase from year to year. - 5 - Ralph Muirhead, Owner Mr. Muirhead stated he has paid his tax assessment; Chula Vista Bookstore but if this money is not going to be utilized until Suly, he would request that the money be refunded. Kitty Rase Mrs. Rase discussed the previous meetings which 1SS Murray Street she called for the merchants in this district and expressed the hope that in the future everyone will work together in a joint effort to promote this district. Public hearing closed There being no further comments either for or against, the hearing was declared closed.
