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.

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.
Mayor Hamilton's comments Mayor Hamilton commented that the hope of the
Council in creating a downtown improvement dis-
trict was to promote a feeling of goodwill and
improve the business district.
