THIS PAGE BLANK ~-~ COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item Meeting Date ~/21/91 ITEM TITLE: Ordinance No. 2448 Amending Title 19 of the Municipal Code by Adding Chapter 19.09 for the Purpose of Managing the City's Growth SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning //~/~ / Director of Public Works'~//~ REVIEWED BY: City Manager (~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X ) L On April 23, 1991, the City Council adopted the Growth Management Implementation Ordinance and held the first reading of said ordinance. Subsequently staff has researched certain questions raised at the Council hearing regarding the obligation of projects for which tentative maps were approved after July 11, 1989, to pay future increased fees to finance the interim SR 125 facility. Based on this evaluation, staff is proposing certain revisions to the Growth Management Ordinance. The second reading of the ordinance was postponed to ensure the Ordinance contained the appropriate language to address Council concerns. Due to the revisions proposed to the Ordinance, the City Attorney advises that Council should re-adopt the Ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve Ordinance No. 2448 for first reading. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: The question raised at the Council hearing on April 23 regarding the Growth Management Ordinance related to whether tentative maps approved after July 11, 1989, located east of 1-805 were properly conditioned to participate in any future fee increases to finance the cost of an interim facility in the SR 125 corridor. The City's established policy is to impose a transportation development impact fee at the building permit stage to pay for transportation facilities in the City's Eastern Territories. This is accomplished through Ordinance No. 2251 which was adopted on January 19, 1988. Since that date, ail projects have paid the Transportation DIF fee at the time of pulling building permits. ! Page 2, Item /~_ Meeting Date 5/21/91 The number of projects (tentative maps) approved by Council since the General Plan Update (July 11, 1989) east of 1-805 is twelve (12). These projects were conditioned appropriately by staff to ensure compliance with the Transportation Phasing Plan and Growth Management; however, these conditions were unnecessary to ensure payment of fees for transportation facilities because the Transportation DIF ordinance automatically requires payment of the most current fee at the building permit stage. The Transportation DIF ordinance has been amended twice since its adoption in January, 1988, once in December 1989 (Ord. No. 2349) and again in December 1990 (Ord. No. 2431). As future studies and/or needs arise to amend the Transportation DIF, the increased fee will be applied to all projects at the building permit stage, regardless of when the tentative map was approved and regardless of whether the tentative map had been conditioned to comply with the Transportation Phasing Plan and/or DIF ordinance or not. When the SR 125 interim facility financing study is completed at the end of this year, the Transportation DIF ordinance can be amended to incorporate the cost of the facility. Thereafter, new building permits would be issued upon payment of the revised fee. The changes included in the revised Growth Management Ordinance at Section 19.09.110 represent a clarification that re-states the point that projects approved after July 11, 1989, must comply with all of the City's fee ordinances in effect at the time building permits are pulled plus prepare a Water Conservation Plan and Air Quality Improvement Plan. The other changes to the ordinance include the most current versions of the Water Threshold Standard and the Economic Threshold Standard, which were inadvertently left out of the April 23, 1991, draft ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable. (A 113.CIMOCOR~D) ORDINANCE NO. 2448 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING TITLE 19 OF THE CHULA VISTA ZONING CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 19.09 FOR THE PURPOSE OF MANAGING THE CITY ' S GROWTH. The city Council of the City of Chula Vista, California does ordain as follows: SECTION I. This Ordinance shall be known and may be cited as the Growth Management Ordinance of 1991. SECTION II. Title 19 of the Chula Vista Zoning Code is amended by the addition of Chapter 19.09, which Chapter shall read as follows: Chapter 19.09 Growth Management Sections: 19.09.010 Purpose and Intent. 19.09.020 Definitions. 19.09.030 Growth Management Program. 19.09.040 Quality of Life Threshold Standards. 19.09.050 Requirement for Public Facilities Finance Plans, Air Quality Improvement Plans and Water Conservation Plans. 19.09.060 Public Facilities Finance Plan Contents. 19.09.070 Public Facilities Finance Plan Preparation. 19.09.080 Public Facilities Finance Plan Review. 19.09.090 Public Facilities Finance Plan Implementation. 19.09.100 Public Facilities Finance Plan Amendment. 19.09.110 Exceptions and Exclusions. 10.09.120 Extensions of Prior Approvals. 19.09.130 Obllgation to Pay Fees or Install Improvements Required by any other Law. 19.09.140 Implementing Guidelines. 19.09.150 council Actions, Fees, Notice. 19.09.160 Severability. 19.09.170 Facility Master Plan Reference Documents Ordinance No. 2448 Page 2 19.09.010 Purpose and Intent. A. It is the policy of the City of Chula Vista to: 1. Providequality housing opportunities for all economic sections of the community; 2. Provide a balanced community with adequate commercial, industrial, recreational and open space areas to support the residential areas of the City; 3. Provide that public facilities, services and improvements meeting City standards exist or become available concurrent with the need created by new development~ 4. Balance the housing needs of the region against the public service needs of Chula Vista residents and available fiscal and environmental resources; 5. Provide that all development is consistent with the Chula Vista General Plan; 6. Prevent growth unless adequate public facilities and improvements are provided in a phased and logical fashion as required by the General Plan; 7. Control the timing and location of development by tying the pace of development to the provision of public facilities and improvements to conform to the City's Threshold Standards and to meet the goals and objectives of the Growth Management Program. 8. Provide that the air quality of the City of Chula Vista improves from existing conditions. 9. Provide that the city of Chula Vista conserve water so that an adequate supply be maintained to serve the needs of current and future residents. B. Findings. The City Council of the City of Chula Vista hereby finds: 1. The demand for facilities and improvements has outpaced the supply resulting in shortages in public facilities and improvements including but not limited to streets, schools, libraries and general governmental facilities. These shortages are detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Chula Vista. gmo7.wp Ordinance No. 2448 Page 3 2. Since 1986, the City of Chula Vista has been undertaking a comprehensive review of its General Plan. As part of that review a consultant team prepared a comprehensive report and recommendation to the City Council. That report was subject to public hearings by both the Planning Commission and City Council. Included were recommendations that no new development should occur unless adequate public facilities are available concurrently with need to serve the new development. 3. Prohibiting new development unless adequate public facilities are available concurrently is consistent with the City's policy to provide housing opportunities' for all economic sectors of the community, because sufficient opportunities for new. housing continue to exist within the City and this Chapter does not affect the n,,mber of houses which may be built. In addition, development of housing for low and moderate income persons and families would most likely occur in areas of the city which are designated for highest development priority. 4. Adoption of this Chapter will not adversely affect the regional welfare. By providing that adequate and safe public facilities and improvements will exist to serve all of the development in Chula Vista, and because many of these facilities and improvements are used by persons residing in neighboring areas and cities, the safety and welfare of the whole region is enhanced. 5. That the Growth Management Plan Traffic Monitoring Report prepared in 1989 found that intersections within areas in the developed portions of the City (as shown on the figure contained in the Growth Management Program entitled "potential development" prepared in 1990 for 1989 traffic counts denoting both areas of future development as well as existing development), are operating in conformance with the adopted Threshold Standards; and, that future large scale developments planned for the area east of 1-805 will require the Dr0visi0n of major facilities including facilities within the SR-125 corridor to aooommodate projected traffic and other needs of development in accordance with the adopted Threshold Standards. 6. This chapter will further the policies, goals and objectives set forth above, and will help eliminate the public facility shortages identified above, by requiring identification of all public facilities and improvements required for development, by prohibiting Ordinance No. 2448 Page 4 development until adequate provisions for the public facilities and improvements are made within the City, as herein provided and by giving development priority to areas of the city where public facilities and improvements are already in place. 19.09.020 Definitions.

F. The City 'Council should annually review the Growth Management Oversight Commission annual report. G.

Ordinance No. 2448 Page 12 D. No SPA Plan, nor any Tentative subdivision Map shall be approved or deemed approved, without an approved PFFP, an approved Air Quality Improvement Plan and a Water Conservation Plan. To provide consistency and implementation of said Plans, the City Council may impose any condition to the approval of a SPA Plan or Tentative Subdivision Map necessary to implement the PFFP, the Air Quality Improvement Plan, the Water Conservation Plan, the Growth Management Program, or the Master Facility Plans. No final map shall be approved until all the conditions of the PFFP, the Water Conservation Plan and the Air Quality Plan have been met, or the Project applicant has provided adequate security to the City that said Plans will be implemented. F. No other discretionaryplanning approvals shall be granted unless the City Council finds that the Project is consistent with an approved PFFP, an Air Quality Improvement Plan, and a Water Conservation Plan. G. No building permit shall be issued unless the permit is consistent with any applicable PFFP, the Air Quality Improvement Plan and the Water Conservation Plan and all applicable fees, including but not limited to, development impact fees, traffic impact fees, drainage fees, school fees, park fees, sewer fees, water fees, or other development fees adopted by the City Council have first been paid or provision for their payment has been made to the satisfaction of the City Council. H. No development shall occur in a PFFP area if the demand for any public facilities and services exceeds capacity and it is not feasible to increase capacity prior to completion of development unless means, schedule and financing for increasing the capacity is established through the execution of a binding Agreement providing ~or installation and maintenance of such facilities or imgrovements in advance of Cityts phasing schedule. 19.09.060 Public Facilities Finance Plan Contents. A. A PFFP shall contain a complete description of the proposed development project and a complete description of all public facilities included within the boundaries of the Plan as defined by the Director of Planning. The Plan shall contain a description of the individual and gmo7.wp Ordinance No. 2448 Page 13 cumulative impacts of the proposed development on the community as it relates to the Growth Management Program, the specific Facility Master Plans and the Threshold Standards. B. The PFFP shall consist of maps, graphs, tables, and narrative text and shall be based upon the General Plan and zoning applicable within the area of impact. The PFFP shall be consistent with the Growth Management Program and Threshold Standards and shall implement the Growth Management Program within the area. C. The boundaries of the PFFP shall be established by the City at the time a SPA Plan or Tentative Map is submitted by the applicant. The boundaries shall be based upon the impact created by the Project on existing and future need for facilities. The project boundaries will correlate the proposed development project with existing and futur~ development proposed for the area of impact to provide for the economically efficient and timely installation of both onsite and offsite facilities and improvements requiredby the development. In establishing the boundaries for the PFFP, the City shall be guided by the following considerations: 1. Service areas or drainage or sewer basins which serve the Project; 2. Extent to which facilities or improvements are in place or available; 3. Ownership of property; 4. Project impact on public facilities relationships, especially the impact on the City's planned major circulation network; 5. Special district service territories; 6. Approved fire, drainage, sewer, or other facilities or improvement master plans. D. The boundaries shall be established by resolution after a public hearing notice of which is given pursuant to Section 19.12.070. E. The PFFP shall show how and when the facilities and services necessary to accommodate development within the area will be installed or financed: 1. Police Ordinance No. 2448 Page 14 2. Fire/EMS 3. Schools 4. Libraries 5. Parks and Recreation 6. Water 7. Sewer 8. Drainage 9. Traffic 10. civic Facilities 11. Corporation Yard F. The PFFP shall include the following information with regard to each facility and service listed in subsection E: 1. List of Facilities and Services A list or schedule of facilities and service requirements correlated to individual development projects within the area. 2. Inventory An inventory of present and future requirements for each facility and service based upon the Threshold Standards. The inventory shall include Life Cycle Cost ("LCC") projections for each element in 19.09.0~0!E! above as they p~rtain to City fiscal responsibility. The LCC projections shall be for estimated life cycle for each element analyzed. The model used shall be able to identify and estimate initial and recurring life cycle costs for the above elements. Because requirements for certain facilities and services may overlap plan boundaries, the plan shall address the need for coordination and shall propose a coordination plan for facilities and services extending from one project boundary area to another. Cost estimates for funding public facilities and services directly related to the impact created by the Project as well as for proposals for funding existing deficiencies required bythe project prior to the phasing schedule set forth in the Growth gmo7.wp Ordinance No. 2448 Page 15 Management Program shall be included. It must be shown that development in the area will not reduce the existing facilities or services capabilities within the Project boundaries or create facilities or improvements shortages in other areas or reduce capability in any area below the Threshold Standard which is established pursuant to Section 19.09.040. The growth inducing impact of the out of area improvements shall be assessed and mitigation provided, if appropriate, to the satisfaction of the City Council. 3. Phasing Schedule A phasing schedule, which complies with the adopted development phasing policy as set forth in the Growth Management Program and the Threshold Standards which. establishes the timing for installation or provisiou for facilities and services required by the project. The phasing schedule shall ensure that development of one area will not utilize morethan the area~s prorata share of facility or service capacity within the projected service area of a facility unless sufficient capacity is ensured for other areas at the time of development. The phasing schedule shall include a schedule of development within the area and a cash flow analysis for financing of facilities and services for the PFFP area. The phasing schedule shall identify periods where the demand for facilities and improvements may exceed the capacity and provide a plan for eliminating the shortfall. If a Project cannot demonstrate consistency with the phasing schedule, the PFFP must demonstrate to the City's satisfaction, how facilities required for the Project in advance of the phasing schedule as set forth in the Master Plan will be provided. If no Facility Master Plan or Threshold Standards exists for a particular facility, the PFFP for the project must demonstrate, how that facility will be provided and financed in a phased and timely manner. 4. Financing Plan A financing plan establishing specific methods of funding each facility and service identified in the PFFP which allocates the cost to the various properties within the plan area. The plan shall identify those facilities and services which would otherwise be provided as a requirement of processing a development project (i.e. requirements imposed as a condition of a development permit) or provided by the developer in order to establish consistency with the Ordinance No. 2448 Page 16 General Plan, Growth Management Program, Facility Master Plans or this Section, and those facilities and improvements for which new funding methods which shall be sufficient to ensure th~ funds are available to construct or provide, facilities or services when required by the phasing schedule for the Project. Where facilities or services are required for property within the PFFP area, other than the Project, the phasing plan shall identifythose other properties and the PFFP for each property shall be coordinated. Coordination, however, shall not require identical funding methods. G. The PFFP shall establish the proportionate share of the cost of facilities and services identified in the Growth Management Program and the Master Facilities Plans attributable to the development of each property in the PFFP area. H. In the event that an applicant provides private financing for public facilities or services to service a Project in advance of the normal time frame for constructing such facilities, the approval of credits against any city fees for such advanced private financing may be postponed until the estimated time of such construction as specified in the specific Facility Master Plan or the City's Capital Improvement Program budget. In lieu of a Facility Master Plan phasing schedule, such determination shall be made by the City Council after reviewing information from the Planning Director, City Engineer, Finance Director, and Deputy City Manager. In no event shall a developer receive interest on funds for providing public facilities or services in advance of the City's schedule. The developer shall also become responsible for the maintenanc e and operation costs associated with the early construction of said facility. No repayment will be made to the developer for the funds provided for maintenance and operational costs. Ail repayments will be considered in accordance with the City's projected construction dates for said facilities. I. Assessment districts requested by the developer shall not be given credit for facility fees when a facility is constructed above the standards established by the respective facility master plan or standards imposed as conditions on the approval of the project by the City Council. J. A fiscal analysis/economic impact report shall be provided identifying capital budget impacts on the City as well as maintenance and operation costs for each proposed phase of gmo7.wp Ordinance No. 2448 Page 17 development. The report shall include an analysis of the Project impact on school districts and water agencies as well as the life cycle analysis set forth in Section F.2. Each year during the development of the Project, the Director of Planning may require the applicant to provide the City with an updated fiscal impact report reflecting the actual revenue and expenditure impacts based upon the development of the Project. The project shall be conditioned to provide funding for periods where expenditures exceed projected revenues. K. Developer contributions ~ha11 not be required as a source of funding for that proportion of the cost of any facility or service that is needed to reach Threshold Standards due to the demands created by existing development. 19.09.0 70 Public Facilities Finance Plan Preparation. A. An PFFP, an Air Quality Improvement Plan, and a Water Conservation Plan may be processed concurrently with the SPA Plan or Tentative Map. B. A PFFP may be initiated by filing an application with the Planning Director. The applicant shall pay a deposit at the time any application for a PFFP is accepted. C. A PFFP for a project shall be prepared by the City, or a consultant selected by the City, according to the procedures established by this section. D.

Boogaard Director of Planning City Attorney THIS PAGE BLANK (3iTJNCIL AGENDA STATEMenT Ite~__~___ Meeting Date 5/21/91 IT~4 TITLE: Ordinance2~ Amending Sections 19.60.530, 19.60.550 and 19.60.580 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code Relating to Political Signs SUBMI'rI'sD BY: Assistant City Attorney Fritsch (4/5thc Vote: Yes NO X ) REFERRAL NO. 2086 Council requested this office to review the political sign ordinance to address several of Council's concerns, as more fully discussed below. RELATION: Place the ordinance on first reading. DIS(J3SSION: Council has expressed concern that the requirement in our political sign ordinance of giving twenty-four hours notice to a sign violator prior to removing the sign interferes with the expeditious removal of illegal signs. This office has consulted with Brad Remp, the Assistant Director of Building and Housing, who advises us that the twenty-four advance notice provision has not been an impediment to effective enforcement. He advises that they have been getting extremely good voluntary compliance once they notify the violators of the violation. Council also was concerned that our ordinance is unclear as to who is responsible for a violation, the sign owner or the property owner. In order to clarify this, we are proposing two amendments which are attached which make it clear that both the candidate and the property owner are responsible for any violations. To that end, we are proposing appropriate amendments to Sections 19.60.530 and Section 19.60.580 to clarify that both the candidate and the property owner are responsible. In addition, Council was concerned, with respect to the setback requirements, about the property rights of property owners. Council wanted to ensure that an owner did not inadvertently violate the law by his failure to know where his property line is. This office agrees that due process requires adequate notice of a violation and we should change the language regarding sign setbacks so that the setback is from the curb or sidewalk instead of the property line, since there is no obvious demarcation of the property line. All of these changes are attached hereto. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS Pd~/I~T~ENDATION: N/A FISCAL IMPACt: N/A 8734a 7--i AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING SECTIONS 19.60.530, 19.60.550 and 19.60.580 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO POLITICAL SIGNS The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as follows: SECTION I: That Section 19.60.530 is hereby amended to read as follows: Sec. 19.60.530 Political signs-Purpose and intent of provisions. It is the intent of Sections 19.60.530 through 19.60.580 to exempt political signs from the regulations of this chapter relative to the placement of outdoor advertising signs in all zones of the City, and to thereby encourage participation by the electorate in political activity during the period of political campaigns, but to permit such uses subject to regulations that will assure that political signs will be located, constructed and removed in a manner so as to assure the public safety and general welfare and to avoid the creation of a public nuisance caused by the unstinted proliferation of political advertising which would be offensive to the senses and would interfere with the comfort and enjoyment of life or property. It is the purpose of the Council, in adopting this chapter to provide such regulations as will contribute to the public safety and general welfare and insure the right of political expression to all members of the community. To that end, no person shall place a sign or shall permit a sign to be placed in violation of this chapter. A person who places a sign, or permits a sign to be placed in violation of this chapter is referred to as a "violator" for the purposes of this chapter. SECTION II: That Section 19.60.550 is hereby amended to read as follows: Sec. 19.60.550 Political signs-Agricultural and residential zone regulations. No person shall post, or permit the posting, of a political sign~//$~7/~/~//~9~ in any agricultural or residential zone in the city (A, R-E, R-l, R-2 and R-3 zones) unless they shall conform to the following regulations: A. No sign may exceed five (5) square feet in area. B. Double-faced signs as defined in this chapter may be permitted. l 4¥1t bl l l l l l l, l l l ~ NO sign shall be posted in such a manner that any portion of said sign is within six feet o£ the house side of the sidewalk and, if there is nv sidewalk within fifteen feet of said sign, the,~ fifteen feet from the house side of the street curb. said signs must be placed at least six feet from the house side of intersecting sidewalks or ii there are no sidewalks, then fifteen feet from thu house or back sides of intersecting curbs. Unles~ a further setback is required by the foregoin~ rules (as in the case of corner lots adjacent to intersecting streets), said signs shall be located at least five feet from side property lines except for lots located at intersections. D. No sign shall exceed three and one-half feet in height in the front setback area, and such signs shall not exceed six feet in height in any area unless said sign is attached flush to any building. The measurement shall be taken from the ground level to the top of said sign. E. No sign may be affixed to an already existing sign. SECTION III: That Section 19.60.580 is hereby amended to read as follows: Sec. 19.60.580 Political signs-Removal authorized when. The procedure for the removal of political signs is as follows: with the exception of signs posted in the public right-of-way, which may be removed without notice, the Director of Building and Housing or his or her designee is hereby authorized, after giving 24 hours notice to the ~/~//~//~//~ violator(s) to remove any political signs that do not conform to the standards herein provided. The notice shall specify the provision of the sign ordinance being violated, and shall inform the ~f violator(s) that removal charges will be assessed. The ~hf violator(s) may, within 24 hours, request a hearing before the Director of Building and Housing to appeal the decision to remove the sign. -2- If the ~f violator(s) so request, the sign shall not be removed until the hearing has been held and a final decision rendered. If the ~f violator(s) cannot be located after reasonable effort to do so, the sign may be treated as abandoned property and removed. SECTION V: This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force on the thirtieth day from and after its adoption. Presented by and approved as to form by Ruth M. F~itsch, Assistant City Attorney 8737a -3- COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM F MEETING DATE May 21, 1991 ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION ~ Authorizing the City to enter into an agreement for the joint exercise of powers with other public agencies to establish, manage, operate and maintain employee benefit programs as provided in said agreement. SUBMITTED BY: DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL C~// MANAGER~ (4/5th Vote: YES__NO X ) REVIEWED BY: CITY In the Memoranda of Understanding (MOU's) with the Chula Vista Employees Association (CVEA) and the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) the City agreed to offer a Medical Premium Retirement Benefit Plan through JPEBA (Joint Powers Employee Benefit Authority). This program will provide employees the opportunity to make unlimited pre-tax salary contributions to fund health insurance premiums in retirement. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution authorizing the agreement. BOARDS & COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: Effective June 28, 1991, the city has agreed to provide a program to certain employees to pre-fund post retirement health insurance premiums. In addition to CVEA and IAFF represented employees, the program will be offered to employees represented by the Executive, Mid-Management and Unrepresented groups. The legal authority to offer such a program is found under Section 457 (f) of the Internal Revenue Code. The vehicle to introduce the program exists under a Joint Powers Authority known as JPEBA, established under various Government Code Sections. JPEBA offers a number of benefit programs, however, the City is only interested in this Medical Premium Retirement Benefit Plan. Retirees usually find that their highest single cost is health care. This is especially true for those who retire before age 65 when one is normally eligible for Medicare. Also, there are many employees hired before 1986 when Medicare tax contributions became mandatory, who have no Social Security service and are therefore not eligible for Medicare upon reaching age 65. Under the JPEBA program, employees will have the opportunity to make pre-tax salary contributions that are set aside in a separate account. The plan invests the account through a "pooling" of assets and credits each ITEM ~ MEETING DATE May 21. 1991 account with a non-taxable, high, guaranteed rate of interest. There are no limitations on the amount of pre-tax employee contributions. At retirement, the plan makes premium payments directly to the health plan selected by the retiree. Since the retiree never constructively receives the money, no taxes are payable in retirement. The retiring employee may select a City offered health plan, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, any health plan offered through the American Association of Retired Persons or any other health plan approved by JPEBA. This is a plan for career employees. The IRS has attached very strong forfeiture language to the plan which says that all pre-tax contributions are forfeited in the event of separation without retirement, death or disability. Employees may, however, move to another California public agency with a State authorized retirement system and leave their deposits until retirement from the other public agency. Under the terms and conditions of the Memoranda of Understanding with CVEA and IAFF, the city will pay the start up costs associated with this plan. The first year costs include a one time JPEBA membership fee of $500.00, and a Plan Administration fee of $500.00. The ongoing annual cost to the City is a $200.00 Plan Administration fee. Participating employees will pay the individual administration fee of $24.00 per year plus any contributions they elect to make. The attached Resolution authorizes the City to enter into the JPEBA agreement. Also attached and referenced in the Resolution are Attachment A, the JPEBA agreement/governing document and Attachment B, the JPEBA Medical Premium Retirement Benefit Plan. After the Council adopts the Resolution, staff will set up a series of employee orientation meetings for employees to learn more about the Plan. In addition, written material will be sent to all eligible employees. FISCAL IMPACT: The first year City costs are $1,000 and for each year thereafter $200.00. There are sufficient funds in this year's budget to pay these costs.

(4/Sths Vote: Yes X No__) This item is a result of the Safety Commission consideration of the need for upgrading the street improvements adjacent to the Shell Oil Company car wash on Bonita Road. The Recommendation was to improve Bonita Glen Drive with concrete having the City share in the cost of the construction. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Direct staff to prepare an agreement between the City and Shell Oil Company to pay the unit costs associated with the installation of the westerly half of Bonita Glen Drive adjacent to the work being completed by Shell Oil. 2. Authorize staff to use a maximum of $16,300 from the Pavement Overlay Program (250-2521-ST515) to cover the City's share of the improvements. 3. Waive the inspection fee for this project. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Safety Commission recommended the area be reconstructed with concrete with costs to be shared by Shell Oil Company and the City of Chula Vista. DISCUSSION: The Safety Commission considered this item due to the problems associated with pavement deterioration caused by the the car wash water runoff. Shell has agreed to repave in Portland Cement Concrete the westerly half of the street where other pavement deterioration is occurring. The Safety Commission recommended that the entire street be reconstructed with concrete with both Shell Oil and the City paying half the cost. Plans have been submitted which proposed a half street in concrete. Upon review of those plans, it became apparent that the reconstruction would work much better if the entire street were redone. Cross slopes and drainage where Bonita Glen Drive meets Bonita Road can be addressed much better if the entire street is reconstructed in concrete. There are funds available in the pavement overlay program which could be used for this project, staff recommends that Council approve the funds to pay for half the cost. The total cost is estimated to be $32,600. Staff is requesting that Council approve $16,300 from funds budgeted for the overlay program in order to construct the westerly half of the roadway. Shell Oil Company is presently paying for City maintenance until the street is reconstructed. Consequently, Shell Oil wants to finish the work in accordance Page 2, Item -~ Meeting Date 5/21/91 with the Safety Commission requirements. Staff recommends that no fees be charged for inspection of the improvements being installed. Shell Oil is paying plan check fees. Eliminating the inspection fee will represent the City's share of the processing cost and be the City's contribution to design costs. Copies of the July 12, 1990 and October 11, ]990 Safety Commission agenda are attached. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are proposed to be utilized from the pavement overlay program account 250-2501-ST515 in the amount of $16,300. Loss of approximately $1,500 in full cost recovery revenue for inspection services. WPC 5558E SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT Item 2a Meeting Date 10/]1/90 ITEM TITLE: Shell Oil Company Car Wash - Bonita Glen Drive SUBMII-TEO BY: City Traffic Engineer ~ ~ BACKGROUND: The Safety Commission and Public Works Department have been working with Shell Oil company since February, 1989 to remedy the pavement deterioration on Bonita Glen Drive due to the water runoff from the car wash at 100 Bonita Road. RECOMMENDATION: That the Safety Commission recommend to the City Council to have Shell Oil Company: 1. Expedite the needed modifications to the car wash. 2. Continue to work with the Safety Commission and staff until the pavement deterioration caused by the car wash water runoff is mitigated. DISCUSSION: At the February 1989 Safety Commission meeting, the Safety Commission (Braden) referred to staff that something be done to reduce the pavement deterioration caused by the excessive water runoff from the Shell Oil Company gas station/car wash located at 100 Bonita Road. Apparently, water from vehicles exiting the car wash and turning right onto Bonita Glen Drive and Bonita Road was removing the fine aggregate on the roadway surface. Due to the high usage by vehicles, the pavement has subsequently been repaved several times by City crews. Shell Oil Company has reimbursed the City for expenses related to the pavement work. Several meetings with Shell Oil and City of Chula Vista staff and Safety Commission members have been held. Various proposals and estimates to mitigate the water runoff have been made: 1. Reconstruct the east half of Bonita Glen Drive in concrete ($25,000) 2. Reconstruct the entire street width of Bonita Glen Drive in concrete ($5o,ooo) 3. She]] Oil Company to modify/replace the car wash equipment by adding a dryer or blower ($40,000) The City of Chu]a Vista had wanted to have the roadway and car wash work completed by late 1990. Due to budgetary constraints by She]] Oil Company, the car wash modifications have been postponed until 1991 and no firm agreement has been established between the two entities for the roadway reconstruction. Page 2, Item 2a Meeting Date 10/11/90 All parties involved are anxious to resolve this issue. It is, therefore, staff's recommendation that the Safety Commission recommend to the City Council to have Shell Oil Company: 1. Expedite the needed modifications to the car wash. 2. Continue to work with the Safety Commission and staff until the pavement deterioration caused by the car wash water runoff is mitigated. FISCAL IMPACT: $25,000.

I understand the concern is the potential erosion of the asphalt street due to this water. At Shell, we are also concerned about insuring that we do not operate in a manner that would damage surrounding streets. Therefore, we plan to alter the existing car wash equipment to provide drying capability, thus reducing the opportunity for cars to leave our site with water. This work will be performed in the near future. I Selieve-that we can all agree that the existing condition of the street adjacent to our property is superior to the remainder of the street, primarily due to our recent financial participation in resurfacing a portion of the street. The changes we propose to make in our equipment should maintain the integrity of the street. I trust that your concerns will be satisfied by our plan. I will continue to keep Mr. Rivera and Mr. Lippit informed of our progress and will work with him on any other matters related to this site. Please feel free to contact me at 714-520-3486.if I can answer any questions or provide further information. I regret not being able to attend your commission meeting of June 14, but I will be glad to visit with you at another opportunity. Very truly your . Brooks W.

Brooks Herring, District Engineer. has informed me that you would like written confirmation of our plans for the car wash operation at this site. As Brooks indicated to you, it is our plan to replace the existing car wash equipment and add a drying mechanism early in 1991. This is intended to eliminate water being carried onto the street from cars using the wash. If this action does not achieve the desired result, we are prepared to pave half of Bonita Glen between the southern boundary of our property and the intersection of Bonita and Bonita Glen utilizing concrete. Should we get to the point of this paving effort, we would be glad to participate with the City if you decide to work on the other half of the street. I am aware that you and Brooks have previously discussed this option. Shell continues to want to cooperate with the City of Chula Vista in the solution to this problem. I hope this letter clarifies our plans. As we prepare our 1991 budget, this project will become a part of that plan. If you have fqrther questions, please contact Brooks Herring at 714-520-3486 or you can contact me at 714-5£0~3334.

Runnels, District Manager CAR WASH AT 100 BONITA ROAD/BONITA GLEN DRIVE, CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA At the June 21, 1990, meeting in which , Gary Brewer, Brooks Herring, Richard Zanoni from Shell Oil Company, Bob Thomas from the Safety Commission, Frank Rivera from the Engineering Department and myself, met on site at the gas station to discuss the asphalt deterioration on Bonita Glen Drive along the frontage of the Shell Oil property. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss whether or not the entire roadway would be reconstructed from asphalt to concrete. It was decided at this meeting that Shell Oil Company will continue to pay for asphalt repairs made by City crews on an as-needed basis. Shell Oil needs to eliminate the water run off onto the sidewalk and roadway. It was also mentioned that Shell would be replacing the car wash system at a cost of approximately $40,000. This car wash system will include a dryer or a blower. We appreciate your concerns to improve the car wash dryer system. Even with the dryer,f the water may still be tracked onto the roadway. Although Water runoff may be reduced, we do not believe that these changes will eliminate the water runoff. At the June 21 meeting, Shell Oil Company ~as to write or prepare a letter with cost proposals for reconstructing Bonita Glen Drive in concrete for half the roadway width and the entire 175' frontage length and to be received by the City of Chula Vista within three to four weeks of that meeting. If the proposals were approved by both the City Council and Shell Oil Company, the work could be completed by the end of this year, 1990. This %~as subject to City funding and approval from the City Council for the city share of the project, which ~.;ould be the ~est side of Bonita Glen Drive. The cost for the entire road%cay %could be shared by Shell Oil Company and the City of Chula Vista. Shell Oil Company -2- September 7, 1990 As agreed upon by Brooks Herring and myself the city will make interim repairs and submit the bill to Shell Oil for payment. The Safety Commission and the City Council are concerned about the length of time this matter has taken. The City has been working with Shell Oil since February 1989 and it appears that after 1 1/2 years of negotiating we are still at a stand still. We do not want to wait until mid 1991 to resolve this matter as mentioned in your letter dated July 31, 1990. The Safety Commission wants to present to the City Council the issue of closing the Bonita Glen Drive access to eliminate the hazards caused by the wet sidewalk and deteriorated roadway surface to pedestrians and motorists. I have included a copy of the written minutes from the June 21, 1990 meeting, which were taken by Frank Rivera a few minutes after the meeting concluded. These minutes differ somewhat from the context of the letter received dated July 31, 1990. I hope that these minutes clarify Some of these issues which were discussed. If you have any questions regarding this matter please feel free to contact me at (619) 691-5021. We appreciate your indulgence in expediting this concern through this office.

Staff recommendations are summarized in the attached Recommended CDBG Budget and Public Services Budget (see Exhibits A and B). Staff has thoroughly considered the recommendations of several advisory commissions and committees and the comments made at the public hearing before City Council on May 7. The public service allocations are included in a separate Resolution in order to allow Council members to vote separately on each portion of the budget. The 1991-92 CDBG Notebook contains the Program Summary, Funding Recommendations, and Project Descriptions. Page references are to pages in the Notebook. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: 1. Adopt the resolution approving the 1991-92 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Capital Improvement Project, Community Development Project, and Planning and Administration Budget, the 1990-91 to 1992-93 Community Development Plan, and authorizing the transmittal of the CDBG Application, Final Statement, and associated documents. 2. Adopt the resolution approving the 1991-92 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Public Services Budget and the reallocation of $ 974 from completed projects to the Woodlawn Park Community Center. Item ~ Meeting Date 05/21/91 Page Two BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Montgomery Planning Committee has reviewed and recommended Community Development and Capital Improvement projects in the Montgomery area (see page 15). The Commission on Aging, Human Relations Commission, and Youth Commission have reviewed the social service funding requests and have made their recommendations (see recommendations, page 16 and minutes, page 19). The Childcare Commission has reviewed just the requests from childcare providers (see minutes, page 19). The Housing Advisory Committee has reviewed housing-related proposals (see attached, Exhibit E). DISCUSSION: Recommended Budget: For 1991-92, the City of Chula Vista has $1,387,000 of CDBG funding, which includes entitlement and program income. Forty-three eligible requests for funding were submitted to (or presented by) the City. The recommended 1991-92 CDBG Budget is attached as Exhibit A and is summarized as follows: TOTAL RF_EDMMENDED PROGRAM AREA REQUESTED AMOUNT Social Services $ 528,979 $ 213,800 Community Development 208,995 188,650 Capital Improvements 1,085,829 739,550 Planning and Housing 88,320 95,000 Administration 150.000 150.000 TOTAL $2,062,123 $1,387,000 In order to be eligible for funding, a project or service must address at least one of the CDBG national objectives: 1) Benefit primarily low and moderate-income families, 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or 3) Meet other community needs having a particular urgency. All of the CDBG projects and services recommended for funding meet national objective #1. Staff recommends that the Council adopt the 1990-91 to 1992-93 Community Development Plan (see pages 3 and 4). The Plan outlines the City's specific community development goals and objectives for the CDBG program and provides a guide for funding recommendations. (In order to be consistent with our 3-year certification period, the proposed Plan is designed to be retroactive to the current fiscal year). Ail of the CDBG projects and services recommended for funding meet the goals and objectives of the Community Development Plan. Item ~2 tl-~ Meeting Date 05/21/91 Page Three Staff recommends that the Council make a finding that the Neighborhood Improvement Program, the SBCS Graffiti Eradication, and the SBCS Community Development Corporation projects are necessary and appropriate in order to meet the goals and objectives of the City's Community Development Plan (included in the first resolution). This finding is required by HUD in order to fund these special activities by community-based organizations. Social Service Recommendations: Staff recommendations for social service funding, along with the Commissions' recommendations, are summarized in Exhibit C. Nineteen of the 27 funding requests are recommended by staff for funding for a total of $213,800. The CDBG regulation on social services spending has been changed this year to allow the City to allocate 15% of the CDBG entitlement and program income. (If program income is not included in this calculation, then $194,550 is available). In order to evaluate the proposals, staff reviewed the requests for funding, compiled a Proposal Comparison Table, attended Commission and Committee meetings, and considered testimony presented at the public hearing. Based on all the information presented, staff rated the requests using the Proposal Evaluation Matrix and Social Service Funding Policy. (Also, the Social Service Plan was used as a basis for scoring the first criterion of the Matrix, "Enhancing the Quality of Life in the City.") The completed Proposal Evaluation Matrix is attached as Exhibit D. The highest scoring programs on the Proposal Evaluation Matrix are recommended by staff for funding. The amount of funding for each program was determined by averaging the two highest recommendations from the Commissions. For example, if "Program Z" received Commission recommendations of $10,000, $8,000, and $2,000, the amount recommended by staff would be $9,000. Fourteen of the 27 funding requests are for new programs. As a general policy, the City favors "seed" funding to establish new programs and discourages dependence on CDBG funding year after year. Toward this end, staff is recommending 18 percent of the available funding to be allocated to six new programs (our original goal was at least 25 percent of the funding). Item I Z ~'~ Meeting Date 05/21/91 Page Four Staff is recommending allocations for the six new programs as follows: Episcopal Community Services-S.B. Options for Recovery 10,350 Boy & Girls Club-Teen Program 9,500 Community Service Center for Disabled 9,000 Sweetwater U.H.S.D.-New Chance Daycare 4,500 AIDS Foundation San Diego 2,750 METRO-Good Neighbor Center S.B. 2,000 Staff is recommending new allocations for 13 currently-funded programs as follows: Woodlawn Park Community Center $ 20,000 YMCA Family Stress Center 20,000 S.B. Community Services 20,000 C.V. Human Services Center 20,000 C.V. Literacy Team 19,350 So. Co. Council on Aging-Shared Housing 16,500 S.B. Family YMCA-Sunshine Co. Childcare 15,000 Lutheran Social Services-Project Hand 13,000 Episcopal Community Services-Otay Community Clinic 9,000 Adult Protective Services-S.B. Adult Health Center 9,000 YMCA Summer Day Camp 5,500 Senior Adult Services-Meals on Wheels 5,250 Jobs for Youth 3,100 Seven proposals are not recommended by staff for funding because one or more Commissions recommended no funding and the program scored low on the Proposal Evaluation Matrix: Requested MAAC Project- Senior Transportation $ 33,144 Mental Health Systems-Kinesis South 30,000 San Ysidro Health Center-C.V. Family Clinic 25,000 Vista Hill Hospital- Community Outreach 20,000 CA Center on Victimology-Counseling 27,300 C.V. Children's Theatre-Project One 20,000 The Wellness Community- Participant Group 5,000 Staff made adjustments to the recommendations on four programs in the social service budget. South Bay Community Services was increased to $20,000 in order to enable them to pay rent for their Agency-owned office space. The Chnia Vista Literacy Team was increased to $19,350 because of a reduction in State funding of $16,000. Item ].2 Q-~ Meeting Date 05/21/91 Page Five In order to balance the social service budget, the staff recommendations for the south Bay YMCA-Sunshine Company Afterschool Care and Episcopal Community Services-Otay Community Clinic were reduced from the level they would have otherwise been recommended for. The Sunshine Company Afterschool Care Program was reduced by $9,000 (to $15,000) and the Otay Community Clinic was reduced by $5,000 (to $9,000). The Sunshine Company has had low attendance at their three school sites; staff would like to see better outreach to increase participation. The Episcopal Community Services submitted two excellent proposals (Otay Community Clinic and Options for Recovery) but staff does not recommend increasing funding for the Otay Community Clinic while also recommending new funding for the Options for Recovery Program. Community Development Funding Requests: Staff is recommending a total of $188,650 for five Community Development projects. "Community Development" is a new category and includes the following types of activities: 1) neighborhood revitalization, 2) affordable housing development, 3) capital improvement projects for non-profit agencies. Staff recommendations are as follows: Requested Recommended Neighborhood Improvement Program-Spot Blight $ 55,000 $ 34,655 Rationale: The neighborhood groups involved in these dean-up campaigns should solicit donations of equipment, supplies, and cash from local businesses and civic organizations. The staff recommendation is 3 times the amount spent this past year on dean-up activities. Requested Recommended Graffiti Eradication $ 43,245 $ 43,245 Rationale: With the recent increase in graffiti in our City, this program is critical to continue eradication efforts. The 2 year State grant has run out and local funding is needed now. Requested Recommended Chula Vista Community Development Corp. $ 48,000 $ 48,000 Rationale: The CDC can play a vital role in local housing efforts, drawing on financial resources (private and public) for which they will have priority. Projected activities include preservation of "at-risk" affordable housing, rehabilitation of deteriorated apartments, construction of new units, and economic development projects. SBCS is a well-established local non-profit with an excellent track record of developing new programs. 12-"-/ Item ,~2 Q-~ Meeting Date 05/21/91 Page Six The CDC is a new organization and should not be funded solely by the City. In order to ensure that the CDC is community supported, staff recommends that CDC be given a $48,000 "match" allocation. The way this would work is: the City will allocate an initial $24,000 to the CDC, which will be required to match it with community donations; once the CDC matches the first $24,000, then every $4,000 raised by the CDC from the community will be matched by $4,000 from the City's allocation, up to an additional $24,000. (SBCS has already received $9,000 from the Community Foundation). Requested Recommended MAAC Project Office Building Purchase $ 50,000 $ 50,000 Rationale: MAAC is a well-established social service provider with many programs serving Chula Vista residents. As the second largest city in the County, it is desirable to have a major service provider like MAAC based here. The acquisition of the office building will provide a permanent home for MAAC's administration and alcohol/tobacco education programs. Requested Recommended Boys and Girls Club-Public Address System $ 12,750 $ 12,750 Rationale: The Boys and Girls Club building is poorly designed from the standpoint of supervision and communication; there are 24 separate activity areas. When a parent comes to pick up their child, the staff often has difficulty locating their kid quickly, which causes the parent to panic. Staff is also drawn away from supervision while looking for kids. This is a very modest request for a critically-needed communication system. Capital Improvement Projects: Seven capital improvement projects were proposed, totaling $1,085,829. Five CIP projects have been recommended for a total of $ 739,550, as follows: Memorial Park Center, Stucco and Roofing $ 255,310 Storm Drain-Sierra Way, Broadway to Colorado $ 273,000 Norman Park Senior Center Renovation $ 119,940 Drainage Improvements-Oxford Street, 2nd to Del Mar $ 55,300 Restroom Renovation-Otay Park $ 36,000 Two projects are not recommended for funding: Staff has determined that the Neighborhood Revitalization Program may be funded from the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate-Income Housing Fund. However, a substantive connection must be made between the capital improvements and the improvement of existing low and moderate-income households in Otay. In addition, the City 2--g Item _~ Meeting Date 05/21/91 Page Seven may be required to assist in maintaining the affordability of the low and moderate income units benefitting from the improvements. Staff is undertaking further research in order to make the substantive connection. If it is determined that a connection cannot be made, then the City will need to replace the low- and moderate-income housing funds with another source of funding, such as CDBG. The Low-income Housing Rehab-Water Conservation Program is not recommended at this time as the proposal will require further development. Staff has contacted the Sweetwater Authority about a possible joint program; they indicated they have limited funding for next fiscal year but are willing to explore the possibility of a joint proposal to the Metropolitan Water District in the future. Administration, Planning, and Fair Housing: Staff recommends that $150,000 be allocated for program administration and staff costs. These administrative costs represent 11% of the total budget and include staff costs for program coordination, accounting, monitoring sub-recipients, environmental review, and reporting requirements. Staff recommends that funding for planning activities and Fair Housing be allocated as follows: Economic development planning studies $ 50,000 Rationale: During the past year and a half, the City has twice made a mid-year reallocation of CDBG monies to fund economic development planning activities. These funds will now be available as needed by the City for pre-development studies and consultant services. Fair Housing program $ 25,000 Rationale: CDBG regulations require the City to undertake proactive Fair Housing activities. This level of funding will provide for a half-time Fair Housing officer. San Diego Resident Relations Foundation $ 8,000 Rationale: Resident Relations provides landlord/tenant mediation services on fair housing and other housing issues. Chula Vista Human Services Council $ 8,000 Rationale: In 1987, the City of Chula Vista developed a Social Services Plan to identify health and human service needs in the City. This funding is needed to hire a graduate student intern to update the Social Service Plan. Item Meeting Date 05/21/91 Page Eight Otay Committee $ 4,000 Rationale: This level of funding is needed to continue volunteer community revitalization and beautification efforts, in conjunction with the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP). Woodlawn Park Community Center: The Woodlawn Park Community Center is operated by a volunteer director (Mrs. Gillespie) and community volunteers. The cost of liability insurance for the Center is relatively high for a number of reasons. Recently the liability insurance carrier canceled the Center's policy for no stated reason. As a result, the Center was forced to find a new policy and this policy was even more expensive than the canceled one. The Center has spent already spent it's 1990-91 allocation and is in need of emergency funding in order to continue its insurance coverage. Without insurance, the Center will be forced to close down. Staff recommends reallocating $ 974 of CDBG funds from completed social service projects to the Woodlawn Park Community Center. These funds are available from leftover funds in the following accounts: Episcopal Community Services $ 964 Boys and Girls Club 10 FISCAL IMPACT: The City will receive $1,297,000 in CDBG entitlement funds and about $90,000 in program income for 1991-92. The 15% cap on social services funding limits the social service allocation to $213,800 (as calculated with program income). Because the program income comes in periodically throughout the year, there is a need to delay selected projects. Staff recommends that the following projects be funded as the program income becomes available: SBCS Community Development Corp. ($24,000 of match funds), Economic Development planning studies ($50,000). [C:\WP51 \A- 113S\CDBG-2.WPD] VZ.-II EXHIBIT E UNOFFICIAL MINUTES HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITFEE Members Present: Joe Casillas, Dan Dennison, Allen King, Diane Flint (ex officio), Mitch Thompson (ex officio) Staff Present: Margery Girbes, Housing Coordinator; David Harris, Community Development Specialist Guests: Len Moore, Mayor Pro Tempore; "Sandy" Sanderson, Civic Center Barrio Housing Corporation; Cliff Largess, Program Analyst, San Diego County Housing Authority; Don Johnson, Design Architect, San Diego County Housing Authority; William Dougherty, Chula Vista resident The meeting was called to order at 3:40 p.m. by Chairman Joe Casillas The minutes of the meeting of May 1, 1991 were approved as submitted. New Business Margery Girbes gave a brief introduction of the proposed public housing project at 588 L Street. She then introduced Cliff Largess and Don Johnson to give a presentation and answer questions. The Committee reviewed the preliminary site plan and financial packaging. Joe Casillas stated he could not participate in the discussion due to a conflict of interest. He is a director on the Board of Directors of the South Bay Board of Realtors, which owns the property to be purchased by the Housing Authority. Allen King commented that he finds the townhome-type unit attractive. Margery asked if Title 24 applied in relation to handicap accessibility requirements. Mr. Largess said townhome units are exempt from the requirements. Mitch Thompson suggested alternative financing ideas; however, Mr. Largess pointed out that the State required a 10% equity contribution by the City for their consideration to fund the project. Mr. Thompson and Ms. Girbes requested the County give priority to residents displaced due to mobilehome/trailer park closures in Chula Vista. The County will agree to the stipulation if the State permits. Approved 2-0 (with Mr. Casillas abstaining) to recommend to the Agency to appropriate funds to the project for pre-development costs, environmental review, and option payments. Unfinished Business Civic Center Barrio/Park Village Apartments The Committee was provided with the agenda and a description of the Proposition 84 funding available from the State as the Committee requested at their last meeting. In addition, staff was requested to finalize loan terms with the Corporation and bring back specific details to the Committee. Staff proposed two sets of loan terms dependent on whether Civic Center Barrio is successful in obtaining Proposition 84 funds. The two proposed loan terms are: 1. With Prop 84 approval: A loan of $350,000 at 8% interest amortized for a period of 30 years with a "call" date at 16 years. Payments would commence one year from the date of Certificate of Occupancy, interest accruing during that period. 2. Without Prop 84 approval: A loan of $350,000 at 5% amortized over 30 years. Interest accruing but no payments due until 4 years from Certificate of Occupancy with a "call" date in the 16th year. Mr. Thompson suggested staff consider a residual receipts provision. Staffwill consider and talk to executive management and the City Attorney. Ms. Girbes stated that CCBHC has agreed to give first right of refusal/priority to those families being displaced due to park closures. It was noted that the same credit criteria should apply to all tenant applicants. The Committee suggested staff re-evaluate the Park Closure Ordinance and amend the ordinance by requiring the park owners to pay the required relocation benefits due the family moving into these new housing opportunities (funded by the Agency) be paid to the Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund to be used to secure new affordable housing. Approved 3-0 to recommend the Agency appropriate a loan of $350,000 to CCBHC as presented by staff. Ms. Girbes told the Committee that Habitat had informally requested $10,000 to pursue their project and rezoning. Staff responded that the proper channel for such a request was through the Montgomery Planning Committee and Planning Commission before staff could make a recommendation to the Agency. 17.-20 Housing Advisory Committee Minutes Page 3 Mayor Pro Tempore Moore discussed the membership of the Committee and advised that Vic Nolan has resigned. It was decided that the Committee should have membership of seven. Mr. Thompson complimented staff on the quality and productivity level over the last several months. Community. Block Grant Proposals The Committee reviewed the proposals from San Diego Resident Relations Foundation, Souh Bay Community Services, Community Development Corporation and South Bay Community Services Graffiti Eradication. Approved 3-0 to recommend funding for all three programs as presented by staff. Mayor Pro Tempore Moore suggested the Committee investigate the possibility of the City becoming a Housing Authority.
