Currently the rate in Chula Vista is $1.20 for the first
1/4 mile and 20¢ for each additional 1/4 mile, making the
increases 11% and 25% respectively.

lack of justification background information presented to the Council to justify
for rate increases the increase. He said it would be better if some input
is given on a more definitive basis for the increases;
otherwise, a policy should be adopted that Chula Vista
not go through the process of a public hearing.

past accepted analysis past did accept the policy that the City would accept the
of City of San Diego analysis of the City of San Diego as they have more exper-

San Diego.
Gloria Fountain, Manager In answer to a question from Mayor Hyde, Ms. Fountain said
Diamond Cab Company that Diamond Cab Company is operating at a rate lower than
that permitted. She explained that their base station is
in National City thus the gasoline cost is less than for
cabs coming to Chula Vista from San Diego. She said if
the rates are approved, they will increase the charge to
$1.00 per mile hut will retain the initial fee of $1.00
instead of $1.20.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, for or against, the public
hearing was declared closed.

COUNCIL CoIfqENTS
Discussion of letter Councilman Scott referred to a letter received from the

regarding Transient has allocated 2% from the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
Occupancy Tax for tourism promotion. It was his understanding this has
not been done and is not a policy of the Council, and

as it is important to any presentation they may make to
the Council.

Chamber of Commerce and unanimously carried that prior to budget sessions,
the staff draft a letter for the Mayor's signature advising
the Chamber of Commerce that to the best of the Council's
knowledge, there is no agreement of any such distribution
of the TOT ever agreed upon by the Council.
Discussion regarding Councilman Scott further questioned the matter of the Coun-
operation of Visitor cil "urging the Chamber" to take over the Visitor Centers.
Information Centers He said to his knowledge this has never been done and
expressed his concern that the Council was "imposing"
something on the Chamber of Commerce rather than the
Council acting on a request.
Mayor Hyde recollected that a letter was sent expressing
the desire of the Council to see the two bodies (Chamber
of Commerce and Visitors Bureau) merge.
Councilman Scott further suggested that any group interested
in visitor promotion should prepare a proposal to the
Council as a program to be considered along with others
at budget time.

Clerk said an updated "pending item" list will be submitted
to the Council.

radio and TV commercials. The packet which costs $400.00
has been reviewed by the Committee, by Channel 39 and
Police Department staff with the consensus that it be
utilized. Councilman Gillow added that it is his under-
standing there is money available in the Neighborhood
Watch budget which can be used for this purpose.
Motion to approve $400.00 It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman
for crime prevention Gillow and unanimously carried that the Council support
packet the purchase in the amount of $400.00 if in fact there
is a fund that does not need "juggling."
