The problem is selecting a voting formula PLAN RATIFIED BY 11 AGENCIES for SANCOG suitable to the City of Chula Vista. The plan, ratified by 11 agencies, has been rejected by Chula Vista. This plan would give San Diego 40% of the vote, the County 30% and the other 12 cities com- bined 30%. (Chula Vista's share would be 5%). Councilman Hyde's proposal Councilman Hyde submitted his proposal, stat- ing it was a slightly different version than the Brown plan, whereby the two largest en- tities in terms of population would have up to 49% of the vote divided between them pro- portionately, the remaining entities would have 51% of the vote divided among them pro- portionately. The second voting phase would be each entity would get one vote and would require a 50% vote to pass; very similar to the Escondido formula. Councilman Scott stated, in his opinion, the real question is should the regional decisions be made by the County of San Diego, the Board of Supervisors, or the combined cities. Motion made It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Councilman Hobel that Council action be rescinded in opposing the Brown or E1 Cajon plan and ratify the Escondido plan. Escondido formula Discussion then centered around the Escon- dido formula whereby the City of San Diego and San Diego County would have a combined vote of 45% with the other 55% divided among the remaining smaller cities. Motion withdrawn Councilman Scott withdrew his motion and the second was withdrawn. New motion made It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that Chula Vista not ratify the Brown pro- posal, that they ask reconsideration on the floor, and in the mean time, contact Escon- dido~ discuss their proposal with them to see if they will support Chula Vista's posi- tion on the reintroduction of it. Alternate requested Councilman Hobel requested an alternate be named to represent the City. Following dis- cussion, it was decided in the event neither the Mayor or Vice Mayor could attend as an alternate, then any Council member could attend and be able to vote. The Council concurred that the City Manager should al~ attend the meetings. PARK-SCHOOL FROBLEMS Councilman Scott cormnented on the Park- School problems (1) that the open space around Gregg-Rogers, Park View and Palomar Schools is being used as a place for dumping trash. He feels the City should pick up the trash immediately and make provision for keeping cars from entering this open space area. (2) He feels more than a 10-year lease is necessary with San Diego Gas and Electric Company on the utilization of the easement in the Loma Verde project; also negotiations should be started on area behind Palomar School since we already have two par- cels of land there. City Manager Thomson stated the City Attorney~ the Purchasing Agent and the Parks and Recrea- tion Director are working on this with SDG6~ and he will have a report back to Council on both the trash problem and negotiations. PUBLIC HEARING ON BEVERAGE Councilman Hobel stated he feels the public CONTAINERS hearing scheduled for May 18 on beverage containers should be discussed in Council conference prior to public hearing. Councilman Hyde stated he was of the opinion the conference could be held after the hear- img to reach a decision if necessary. DAVIDSON STREET PARKING PROBLEM City Manager Thomson reported on the problem of parking on Davidson Street. Police Chief Winters is putting out a departmental order to his staff, directing that his employees which are considered to be the ones that are using that area, to use the two employee parking lots provided, and it is also noted that the situation on Davidson Street could be corrected (if this does not handle the situation) by putting a two-hour parking limit in this area as there are no fronting residences on Davidson Street at this loca- tion. PUBLIC FORUM - YOUTH ADVISORY Councilman Hyde brought attention to the COI~ISSION public forum tonight at 7:30, Loma Verde School by the Youth Advisory Co~mission. ADJOUtLNMENT Mayor Pro Tempore Egdahl declared the meet- ing adjourned at 4;35 P,M. to the meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 18, 1971 at 7 PoM. for City Clerk -2-
