AB 180 which will restore the formula utilizing the Consumer Price Index as

legislative analysis made as to the exact cost and where the money will be coming
from, the Legislative Committee recommended no action be taken until these figures
are received.
MSUC (McCandliss/Gillow) that the Legislative Committee continue to work on this
item, to track it through the League of California Cities. and through Mr. Kapiloff's
office, if necessary, and report back to the Council when they have any kind of
analysis on it.

Commission from conditioning a project based upon the provision of low-income
housing.
MSUC (Cox/Gillow) to support this bill.
c. SB 111 (Alquist) and AB 251 (Vasconcellos) - Implementing legislation for the
Governor's budget. Councilman Cox noted that the bill provides for a cutback of
$240,000,000 for cities and the Committee feels it should be opposed because the
property tax should remain with local government as local government services
are property-related.
MSUC (Cox/Scott) to oppose this bill.

Superintendent of the Chula Vista Elementary School District to have a crosswalk

report back.
