MEETING DATE August 13.1996
ITEM TITLE: Resolution I~'~O,~ Accepting donation, authorizing expenditure and
appropriating said donated funds to the Police Department for purchase of computer equipment
to access to the Nationwide Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit Data Base.
SUBMITTED BY: Chief of Police~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
(4/5tbs Vote: Yes X No )
The Police Department recently received an unsolicited donation in the amount of $500 from
Ecology Auto Wrecking, Chula Vista, CA. The donation was presented to the Investigative Unit
to underwrite the purchase of a modem and keyboard needed to access to the Nationwide Law
Enforcement Intelligence Unit (NLEIU) database.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept the donation and authorize expenditure
of said funds to the Police Department for purchase of the computer equipment necessary to
access to the NLEIU database.
DISCUSSION:
None of the computers located in the Investigative Division of the Police Department have a
modem. As a result police staff make frequent lengthy telephone calls to Sacramento to access
information from the NLEIU database. This donation will he used to purchase a modem and
keyboard in order to access the NLEIU database in Sacramento by computer saving both staff
time and telephone charges. Access to the NLEIU database will provide the department with
the ability to gather, record and exchange critical confidential information that is currently not
available through regular police channels. This is not a inter-net connection. Access to the
database is free to the Police Department. Furthermore an existing telephone line will be used
and information retrieved on an as needed basis in order to save money.
Purchase of the modem and keyboard will allow the Criminal Intelligence Unit to monitor a
number of worldwide web sites that are tied to organized crime, cult organizations, militia, and
other organized crime groups by downloading information from the NLEIU. Additionally, the
Vice Unit will be able to monitor criminal enterprises such as prostitution, gambling, and related
activities. The downloading of the information from the NLEIU will save staff time and
telephone charges associated with frequent telephone calls to NLEIU to retrieve information by
telephone. In addition, the downloading of information will eliminate a 15 to 20 day delay
associated with the mailing of information requested from NLEIU.
FISCAL IMPACT: The $500 donation will be appropriated to fund 100-1050-5398 and spent
for said purposes. The associated telephone charges will be absorbed within the Police
Department's telephone budget. There are no other re-occurring costs.

(4/Sths Vote: Yes_NoX)
Specifications for janitorial paper products and supplies have been developed and bid out on
the open market. The intent of the bid process is to standardize requirements, and commit
suppliers to favorable terms and pricing over a period of time.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution approving purchase agreements
with 1) Cameo Paper and Supply Company, 2) Mission Janitoiial Supplies, and 3) Crane Bag
Company, thc overall low responsive and responsible bidders meeting specifications.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION: Janitorial paper products and supplies are currently stocked in the City's
storeroom for citywide distribution. Whenever restocking is necessary, various vendors are
contacted for price quotes, and orders are placed accordingly. Approximately twenty-four
(24) purchase orders are issued annually to replenish janitorial stock. The agreements
requested will reduce that number to three (3) purchase orders per year. In addition, building
maintenance personnel will be able to order directly from the contract suppliers.
Further operational efficiencies will be achieved by the Purchasing staff. Reorder
requirements will no longer be bid out, but instead purchased directly from the contract
suppliers. In addition, pricing will be firm over a fixed period of time (August 13, 1996
through June 30, 1997), and a firm percentage discount will be available for items not
specifically covered under the agreements. Inventord costs will also be lowered as the result
of reduced stock levels in the storeroom.
Page 2, Item __
Meeting Date 8/13/96
Four (4), one (1) year option renewals are available which may be exercised by mutual
agreement. Option year price increases are limited to a 5% maximum over prior year costs.
One (1) price increase is allowed for each option period as the result of:
I) Manufacturer or supplier price increases in the products(s) offered;
2) Governmental or regulatory agency increases to the ffade; or,
3) Regional Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases to the industry.
Any request for a price increase must be substantiated with documentation from a
manufacturer, supplier, or governmental agency and must be submitted in writing at least
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the increase.
In order to standardize products, ensure consistent quality, and optimize savings,
specifications were developed for four (4) categories of janitorial supplies; Cleaners, Paper
Products, Liners, and Miscellaneous Supplies. The bid was advertised in the local
newspaper and twelve (12) potential bidders were sent bid packets. The bids were publicly
opened by the Purchasing Agent on June 20th, 1996. Ten (10) bidders responded per the
tabulation sheet attached.
Cameo Paper Products and Supply Company is the overall low bidder for Cleaners, Paper
Products, and Miscellaneous Supplies (with the exception of wiping rags). Mission
Janitorial Supplies is the overall low bidder for Liners. Crane Bag Company is the Iow
bidder for wiping rags. Sample products were obtained and field tested with favorable
results.
The City will save approximately $13,500 annually as a result of these agreements. This
corresponds to a 24% savings over current practices. If all four (4) option years are
exercised, the City would save an estimated $67,500.
FISCAL IMPACT: Net reduction in janitorial supplies cost of approximately 24% or
$13,500 annually. Funds expended will have been approved through the normal budget
process.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution [~t/t9~ Finding that competitive bidding is impractical, per
Section 2.56.07-0' of the Municipal Code, thereby waiving bids and

REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~[ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No_x)
On June 20, 1995, the City Council accepted the bid and awarded a one-year contract for
ashphaltic concrete to Sim J. Harris Company. The City's Purchasing Agent has received a
statement from the Company agreeing to extend identical terms and prices for the period of
August 13, 1996 through June 30, 1997. Staff recommends finding that competitive bidding is
impractical and recommends that bids be waived and that a new contract be awarded to Sim J.
Harris Company.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution fmding that competitive bidding is
impractical, per Section 2.56.070 of the Municipal Code, thereby waiving bids and awarding
a contract to Sim J. Harris Company for provision of asphaltic concrete for the period of August
13, 1996 through June 30, 1997.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Section 2.56.070 of the City Code - Formal contract and bid procedure-Required when. -
provides that all supplies, services and equipment be purchased by formal written contract when
the estimated cost exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars. However, this same section allows for
Council, by resolution, and expressed in its official minutes, to make a determination that
competitive bidding is impractical. The City's Purchasing Agent has recommended that Council
make this finding, waive bids and award a contract to Sim J. Harris Company for the following
reasons:
The prices are favorable given market conditions for petroleum-based products, such as
asphaltic concrete. The City may not get a better price, based on the recent increases
in petroluem prices.
Sim J. Harris has provided a consistent product and has performed satisfactorily over the
past year.
3. The original contract was bid as a one-year requirement last year. Sim J. Harris
Page 2, Item __
Meeting Date 8/06/96
submitted the lowest bid among five bidders contacted. The bid of the next lowest bidder
was six and one-half percent (6 1/2%) higher.
The City is required to pick up the asphaltic concrete at the vendor's plant. Sim J.
Harris is located as close to Chula Vista as any of the other suppliers.
The purpose of bidding for supplies, services and equipment is to get the most advantageous
price and the best quality for the lowest cost. In this case, based on current market prices for
petroleum-based products, such as asphaltic concrete, the Purchasing Agent believes that it
would not be advantageous for the City to re-bid this contract at this time. The Purchasing
Agent believes that bids would be higher than the prices currently being offered by the current
contractor. Therefore, it is in the City's best interest to find that competitive bidding is
impractical, waive bids and award a new contract to Sim J. Harris Company for the period of
August 13, 1996 through June 30, 1997, for the existing terms and prices. For the following
fiscal year, 1997-98, the Purchasing Agent will go out to bid for a new contract.
The original bid was based on the following estimated usage:
Item Material Estimated
Usage
1 Type III-F-AR-4000 asphaltic concrete (sheet asphalt) 500 Tons
2 Type III-D-AR-4000 asphaltic concrete (3/8" max aggregate) 2,000 Tons
3 Type III-D-SC-800 asphaltic concrete (cold mix) 500 Tons
4 Type B2-AR-4000 asphaltic concrete (3/4" max aggregate) 1,000 Tons
5 Type III-AR-4000 asphaltic concrete (3/8" fine) 500 Tons
The bid was a not-to-exceed amount of $99,777.50. However, for FY1996-97, the following
usage is estimated, based on actual usage for FY1995-96:
Item Material Estimated
Usage
I Type III-F-AR-4000 asphaltic concrete (sheet asphalt) 400 Tons
2 Type III-D-AR-4000 asphaltic concrete (3/8" max aggregate) 1,000 Tons
3 Type III-D-SC-800 asphaltic concrete (cold mix) 320 Tons
4 Type B2-AR-4000 asphaltic concrete (3/4" max aggregate) 1,100 Tons
5 Type III-AR-4000 asphaltic concrete (3/8" fine) 600 Tons
Page 3, Item
Meeting Date 8/06/96
Funds in the amount of $80,616 are budgeted in the Street Maintenance and Sewer Maintenance
Divisions' budgets in Public Works Operations for this purpose.
FISCAL IMPACT: The actual cost to the City will be based on actual usage times the bid
price per ton, not to exceed $80,616, as budgeted in the Public Works Operations budget for
FY1996-97. The General Fund will be reimbursed 100% of this cost from Gas Tax funds and
Sewer funds.

Meeting Date 6/20/95
The Iow bid of Sim J. Harris meets specifications and is acceptable to the Director of Public
Works. California Commercial Asphalt was the low bid last year based on a cost savings due
to location. Specifically, staff calculated the staff time and equipment costs associated with
travel to and from facilities. Because California Commercial Asphalt was located in Chula
Vista as compared to San Diego, Lakeside or El Cajon, the savings offset the price difference
between the low bid and California Commercial. This year, staff is not recommending
consideration be given to location based on the following:
Because the California Commercial Asphalt plant in Chula Vista was closed, we had
to re-route 44 trips to the Clairemont plant for asphalt. Therefore, the savings
associated with staff time and equipment was not realized.
Cold mix (Item 3) is not available at the Chula Vista site. As a result crews are re-
routed to the Clairemont site. Again savings associated with staff and equipment are
not realized.
The quality of material received from California Commercial Asphalt was not
consistent. Several times loads were returned because the mix was unacceptable.
Based on the above reasons, calculation of savings for staff time involved in travel to
and from facilities was not a consideration in award of this bid. Also, the San Diego
plants of bidders 1, 2, and 3 are approximately the same distance from Chula Vista.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are provided for in the Public Works Operations budget for FY
1995/96 and awarding of this contract is contingent upon approval of the budget. The General
Fund will be reimbursed 100% from gas tax or sewer funds. The total bid is based on an
estimated usage not to exceed $99,777.50. The price per ton is firm. The cost to the City will
be based on actual usage times the firm price per ton, not to exceed $99,777.50 for FY 95/96.
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA FINDING THAT COMPETITIVE BIDDING
IS IMPRACTICAL, PER SECTION 2.56.070 OF THE
MUNICIPAL CODE, THEREBY WAIVING BIDS AND
AWARDING A CONTRACT TO SIM J. HARRIS COMPANY
TO FURNISH ASPHALTIC CONCRETE FOR THE PERIOD
OF AUGUST 13, 1996 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1997
WHEREAS, on June 20, 1995, the City Council accepted the
bid and awarded a one-year contract for asphaltic concrete to Sim
J. Harris Company; and
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent has received a statement
from the Company agreeing to an extension of the contract for one
additional year, for the same contract terms and prices; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Municipal Code Section
2.56.070, the City may waive bids if competitive bidding is
impractical; and
WHEREAS, staff has recommended that Council waive the
competitive bidding process for the following reasons:
The prices are favorable given market conditions
for petroleum-based products, such as asphaltic
concrete. The City may not get a better price,
based on the recent increases in petroleum prices.
Sim J. Harris has provided a consistent product and
has performed satisfactorily over the past year.
The original contract was bid as a one-year
requirement last year. Sim J. Harris submitted the
lowest bid among five bidders contacted. The bid
of the next lowest bidder was six and one-half
percent (6-1/2%) higher.
The City is required to pick up the asphaltic
concrete at the vendor's plant. Sim J. Harris is
located as close to Chula Vista as any of the other
suppliers.
WHEREAS, the purpose of bidding for supplies, services
and equipment is to get the most advantageous price and the best
quality for the lowest cost; and
WHEREAS, in this case, based on current market prices for
petroleum-based products, such as asphaltic concrete, the
Purchasing Agent believes that it would not be advantageous for the
City to re-bid this contract at this time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby find that competitive bidding is
impractical, per Section 2.56.070 of the Municipal Code, for the
reasons set forth in this resolution, thereby waiving bids and
awarding a contract to Sim J. Harris Company to furnish asphaltic
concrete for the period of August 13, 1996 through June 30, 1997.

Adopting the City of Chula Vista 1996 Bikeway Master Plan
(4/Sths Vote: Yes_No X )
The City of Chula Vista has been involved in, and is continuing to pursue, a systematic approach to
establish a comprehensive bicycle program for the citizens of Chula Vista. A bicycle route facilities report
was prepared for the City of Chula Vista in 1981 and updated in 1983 by Patricia Willcocks, Consultant.
Since that time the city has annexed the Montgomery area and other large land areas as development
occurred in the eastem territories and has adopted an updated General Plan in 1989. To be consistent with
the General Plan Cimulation Element policies, it was necessary to prepare a new comprehensive bicycle
facilities plan, which would include the annexed areas, evaluate and recommend facility locations, class
designations and cost estimates, as well as provide an implementation schedule. The City hired JHK &
Associates to undertake this effort in accordance with CIP No. ST-423 titled "Bicycle Route Facilities
Report - Update". JHK & Associates has completed its work on said plan, entitled "City of Chula Vista
Bikeway Master Plan" and dated August 1996. The SANDAG Bicycles Facilities Committee and the
City's Park and Recreation commission have both recommended approval of said plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve a Resolution adopt'rog the City of Chula Vista
1996 Bikeway Master Plan.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Parks and Recreation Commission approved
the Bikeway Master Plan at its November 17, 1994 meeting.
DISCUSSION:
"Bikeway" means all facilities that provide primarily for bicycle travel. The facilities used in the San
Diego Region are classified into the following three types:
Bike Path (Class 1) - Provides a completely separated right-of-way designated for the exclusive
use of bicycles and pedestrians with cross-flows by motorists minimized;
Bike Lane (Class 2) - Provides restricted right-of-way designated for the exclusive or semi-
exclusive use of bicycles with travel by motor vehicles or pedestrians prohibited but with vehicle
parking and cross-flows by pedestrians and motorists permitted; and
Bike Route (Class 3) - Provides a right-of-way designated by signs or permanent markings and
shared with pedestrians or motorists.
Currently, there are 3 miles of bike paths, 37 miles of bike lanes and 27 miles of bike routes available for
use by cyclists in the City of Chula Vista. The Bikeway Master Plan projects that ultimately, the City's
bikeway system will consist of 38 miles of bike paths, 83 miles of bike lanes, and 29 miles of bike routes.
Page 2, Item __
Meeting Date 8/13/96
The 1983 update to the Bicycle Route Facilities Report covered such items as general requirements for
bikeways, bikeway selection criteria, class of facility, bicycle transportation plan, implementation, cost
and maintenance of bikeways. Since 1983 the Montgomery area has been annexed to the city and
extensive development has occurred in the eastern territories. In 1989 the City entered into an agreement
with JHK & Associates for the preparation of an updated comprehensive bicycle route plan which would
evaluate all existing bikeway facilities with an eye toward upgrading and extending them into newly
annexed city areas. The plan also was to evaluate flow characteristics of city routes into adjacent
communities and municipalities, review current standards and recommend requirements for the provision
of bicycle facilities by new developments. At its meet'rog of November 17, 1994, the Parks and Recreation
Commission reviewed and approved the Bikeway Master Plan. Since that time, Public Works staff has
been working with the consultant to finalize the plan. The City's Environmental Review Coordinator
determined that this planning document is statutorily exempt from environmental review.
Bicycle use for both recreation and commuting purposes has increased significantly in recent years in
Chula Vista and the surrounding region. There has been steady growth in the use of bicycles for reasons
associated with physical fitness, recreation and environmental protection. These interests have resulted
in an increase in public demand for bikeways where bicycles can be ridden with ease and relative safety.
The Bikeway Master Plan as completed by JHK & Associates at a cost of $38,000 and reviewed by Public
Works, Planning, and Parks and Recreation staff presents an important step in the City's continuing
systematic approach to a bikeway program for its citizens. The study area in the Master Plan consists of
the Planning Sphere of Influence of the City of Chula Vista. New bikeways were added and the new
proposed bikeway plan was broken down into 291 project segments. Cost estimates were then prepared
for each segment. A Status Database of all bikeway segments in the Chula Vista region is also included
in the Master Plan. Also included in the report are design guidelines for the Chula Vista Bicycle System.
These guidelines were developed based on the Caltrans highway design standards manual. The Master
Plan is divided into five chapters: 1) Introduction; 2) the Bikeway Plan; 3) Bikeway Design Guidelines;
4) Cost Estimates; and 5) Bikeway Plan Implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost to build the remaining segments identified in the Chula Vista Bikeway
Master Plan is estimated to be approximately $17,723,000. The bikeway costs by class are: $7,185,900
for the Class I bicycle paths; $10,534,300 for the Class II bicycle lanes and $2,800 for the class III bicycle
routes. As development occurs in the City, Developers will be required to construct relevant segments of
the bikeway system. Staffwill pursue the Transportation Development Act (TDA) program, a State Grant
program, to finance the construction of the remaining bikeways. The Regional Transportation
Improvement Program (RTIP) includes 12 bikeway projects that are planned to be completed by the City
over the next seven years. The total cost of the RTIP projects is estimated to be $3,880,000.

On June 7, 1994, the City Council, by Resolution 17518, accepted bids and awarded a contract in
the amount of $2,374,136.70 to Signs and Pirmick Inc. to construct Otay Valley Road Phases II and
III from 1,200 feet east of Nirvana Avenue to the northerly limits of Otay Rio Subdivision. This
project is part of the road improvements which were constructed under Assessment District No. 90-
2. During the construction, changes to the required work took place. The contractor, Signs and
Pinnick completed the project on May 20, 1996. It is now appropriate for the City Council to
approve a Change Order which covers the cost of the additional work to accommodate the MCA
project.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to
execute Contract Change Order Number 2 in the amount of $202,816.36 with Signs and Pinnick Inc.
for Otay Valley Road Project Phase II (CIP No. ST-123) & II1 (CIP No. STM-319).
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On June 7, 1994, by Resolution 17518, Council accepted bids and awarded a contract in the amount
of $2,374,136.70 to Signs and Pinnick Inc. to construct Otay Valley Road Phases II and III from
1,200 feet east of Nirvana Avenue to the northerly limits of Otay Rio Subdivision.
Shortly after the contractor started work in January 1995, the scope of the project was changed to
accommodate traffic volumes to be generated by anticipated industrial development and the
proposed Chula Vista Amphitheatre (MCA Project) which will be located in the Otay Rio
subdivision.
The original project provided a four lane facility (two lanes in each direction) with a concrete barrier
separating the oncoming lanes of traffic. This design provided an interim facility which was not
Page 2, Item __
Meeting Date 8/13/96
going to be constructed about the ultimate centerline of Otay Valley Road. This meant that some
of the improvements that were to be constructed, were temporary in nature, and when the road was
widened to a six lane facility these temporary improvements would be removed and wasted.
Proceeding with the change in design and construction of Otay Valley Road to accommodate the
future traffic was estimated to save the City $300,000 in future costs.
A report was submitted to the City Council on August 22, 1995 which discussed the need to
negotiate a contract change order with the contractor, Signs and Pinnick Inc., to construct these
additional improvements. These improvements consisted ora 16 foot wide raised median and an
additional travel lane. The additional construction provides three full lanes in the westerly direction
and two lanes in the eastbound dimetion along with a raised median island in lieu of the concrete
barrier. As a follow up to this report, a memorandum was presented to the Honorable Mayor and
City Council on September 5, 1995 which stated that based on Council's acceptance of the previous
staff report (8/22/95) and lack of further direction, staff was proposing to direct the contractor to
proceed with the Change Order Work. The construction costs at the time for the proposed change
in the work, including credits for deleted work was estimated at approximately $200,000. (Copies
of 8/22/95 report and memorandum dated 9/1/95 are attached for Council's information). Staffwas
to continue working on the necessary Change Order to complete the additional work and return to
Council for their formal approval when the actual costs are known.
The contractor completed the project, Otay Valley Road Phases II and III, on May 20, 1996 for a
total cost of $2,479,409.28 or $105,272.58 more than the original bid of $2,374,136.70. The cost

This project has two change orders. Change Order Number 1, in the amount of $6,721.76 was
approved by the City Manager under the authority granted in Council Policy Number 574-01 on
Change Orders. Change Order Number 1 covers the cost of extra work for the widening of the
bridge at the Otay River crossing.
Change Order Number 2, which the City Council is being requested to approve, is for additional and
changed work caused by the construction of an additional lane of pavement and raised median island
to accommodate the MCA project. The cost of this Change Order is $202,816.36.
In addition to the change orders, the contract price was adjusted as a result of two types of other
items: 1) The payment to the contractor on the basis of actual bid quantities which can be above or
below the estimated quantities as listed in the bid proposal and 2) the deletion of certain bid items
in their entirety, which were no longer needed for the construction of the project and resulted from
the construction of an additional travel lane and raised median island. These items were adjusted
directly in the final pay request and contract close our rather than via a change order. The contract
was awarded for a set unit price on an estimated quantity of a particular type of work for the overall
scope of work as contained in the plans and specifications. The Standard Specifications for Public
Works Construction, commonly known as the "Greenbook", gives the authority to make final
payment based on actual quantities. The final price adjustment is not a negotiated price, but is set
by the bid price extended for the quantities of work actually completed.
The payment to the contractor on the basis of actual bid quantities adjusted the payment upward by
$118,278.56. The major items in this adjustment are increases in the pavement, base and sub base
quantities with savings in the amount of excavation, import and alluvium removal/recompaction.
Items which were deleted from the contract include:
Item No. Description Cost
8 6" asphalt concrete berm $ 999.00
28 Type B-1 inlet lower section $ 5,400.00
32 Catch basin plug $ 1,800.00
44 Silt Stop $ 7,380.00
49 Concrete barriers K-rail type 50 $ 91,765.10
54 Permanent crash cushions $ T200.00
Total $114,544.10
In addition, item 62, the Wetland mitigation area-site development, was deleted from the contract.
The cost for developing this site was $108,000. This item was deleted because the site was not
Page 4, Item __
Meeting Date 8/13/96
purchased by the Redevelopment Agency. There was concern about possible groundwater
contamination which made it unsuitable as a wetland mitigation site. The Community Development
Department is currently looking for suitable sites to purchase to replace this one. The development
of the wetland mitigation site will occur sometime in the future as a separate project and under a new
contract. The funds included in the contract for the wetlands mitigation will be required at that time.
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve Change Order No. 2 and authorize the City
Manager to execute the Change Order on behalf of the City. Copy of Change Orders number 1 and
2 are attached for Council information.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are available as part of two CIP projects which were set up for this contract (Phase II; ST-123
and Phase III; STM-319). Construction of the additional travel lane of pavement and raised median
island with this contract to accommodate the MCA Amphitheatre Project is projected to save the
City nearly $300,000 in future construction costs. Once the project is accepted by the City, the City
will assume minor maintenance costs for street sweeping, striping and signing. The City will also
pay the energy cost for street safety lighting and the three new traffic signals. The funds not
expended for the mitigation site at this time will be needed when an appropriate site is found.

Staff is recommending that the City exercise its option to renew the landscape maintenance contracts with
RC Landscape, Blue Skies Landscape, Alvezia Landscape and New Way Professional Services for FY
1996/97. Staff is submitting three separate resolutions, one for the bid cluster for the Open Space
Districts 1, 5, 9, 10, one for the EastLake Maintenance District, and one resolution for the remaining
bid clusters. In order to avoid any conflict of interest, and maximize Council's participation, it is
necessary to consider the contract for Open Space Districts 1, 5, 9, 10 and the EastLake Maintenance
District separately.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution and renew the maintenance contracts,
without granting a Consumer Price Index price adjustment, for Open Space Maintenance Districts 1, 5,
9, 10; Districts 3, 4, and 8; Districts 11, 14, 15, 24; Districts 2, 6, 7, 17, 23, 26; District 18; District
20; District 31; and Bayfront Trolley Station.
BOARDS/COM1VIISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION: On June 22, 1993, the City approved renewal landscape maintenance contracts for
Districts # 3, 4, 8; 14, 15, 24; 11; and 20; with Alvezia, Blue Skies Landscape and New Way
Professional Services and on June 21, 1994 and July 25, 1995 respectively, approved a one-year option.
This will be the third renewal option for these contracts. On June 21, 1994, new maintenance contracts
for Districts 2, 6, 7, 17, 23, 26; District 18; District 20; and EastLake Maintenance District and
EastLake Zone D (Salt Creek I) were awarded to RC Landscape and Alvezia Landscape, and on July 25,
1995 the City approved a one-year option. This will be the second option renewal for these contracts.
On November 14, 1995, the City approved one-year landscape maintenance contracts with RC's
[NETWORK-AIl3 RENEWOS.AI3-August 8, 19961
Page 2, Item __
Meeting Date 08/13/96
Landscape Maintenance and New Way Landscape for newly finished portions of District 20 SPA I Phase
6 and SPA II, District 31, and the Bayfront Trolley Station. This will be the second option renewal for
these contracts.
Due to the labor intensive nature of an annual bidding process and the difficulty of attracting a sizable
number of contractors for a one-year contract, the City adopted a renewal option in 1986 for an Open
Space maintenance contract. This has given the Open Space Contractor some assurance that if they
perform satisfactorily and meet the performance criteria called out in the contract, they may receive a
renewal option. Further, through a renewal option contract, the City has realized consistencies in its
maintenance service and established a tool to facilitate the budgeting process and control the financial
impacts to City residents. The renewal option provides for three additional years if work performance
was satisfactory. The justification for a three-year renewal clause was to ensure that contractors would
be more responsive, with the possibility of a four-year maintenance contract, versus the one-year
contracts without a renewal option.
It should be noted for the record that most of the current contracts were let out and awarded in 1993 and
1994, during an economic downturn and a lull in the building industry. This was in large part due to
the cost saving strategy of letting out the bids in "Clusters". This involved the grouping together of
districts into efficient work packages by placing small adjacent districts together with an adjacent large
district to gain the benefits of economy of scale.
The Department is recommending that the City exercise its contractual option to renew the landscape
maintenance contracts for the contractors providing services in Open Space Maintenance Districts 1, 5,
9, 10; Districts 3, 4, 8; Districts 11, 14, 15, 24; Districts 2, 6, 7, 17, 23, 26; District 18; District 20;
EastLake Maintenance District Zone D (Salt Creek I); EastLake Maintenance District; District 20 SPA
I Phase 6; District 20 SPA II; District 31 and the Bayfront Trolley Station. In accordance with the Price
Adjustment Clause of the existing contract, one of the contractors (New Way Landscape) has formally
requested a renewal of the current contract adjusted for the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) of the previous calendar year. New Way Professional Services
has reqeusted a 1.8% CPI increase. The Finance Department furnished a CPI percentage for the second
half of 1995 of 1.9% (no CPI information is yet available for the first half of 1996).
It is the recommendation of staff that the current contracts with New Way Professional Services be
renewed without a CPI adjustment of 1.8%. In accordance with the provisions of Section V.C. (Price
Adjustment Clause) in the contract, the contractor may request an increase in the contract price in each
renewal year by furnishing proof that the CPI has increased. New Way Professional Services met this
requirement in the contract; however, New Way was the only landscape contractor to request an increase.
However, the City has the right, under the terms of the contract, not to grant the contractor's request for
a CPI adjustment.
Staff's recommendation not to award a CPI increase to New Way Professional Services is based on the
belief that due to the economic constraints in the City's budget and in the local economy, an increase in
the contract price at this time is not warranted.

There are plans to develop the property located behind the Price Club building on Broadway and
owned by Price Company. As part of that development, the owner must underground the overhead
utilities adjacent to the property. In order to grant the deferral, Council must first hold a public
hearing.
Staff anticipated a timely process and published the announcement of the hearing for tonight's
Council meeting. As the deadline approached to complete the associated agenda statement, staffhad
not received comments from all utility companies, which is needed in order to come to an
appropriate recommendation on the deferral request.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council continue subject public hearing to consider Price
Company's request for deferral of undergrounding requirements along a portion of Naples and
Oxford Streets to its meeting of August 20, 1996.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: No City Board or Commission action is
necessary for this matter.

Staff is requesting the hearing on the Otay Ranch Reorganization No. 1 be continued to the

reorganization has not been met.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council continue the heating to September 10,

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION: In August of 1995, the City Council authorized the filing of a
reorganization application with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the
Otay Ranch Reorganization No~ 1. The proposed reorganization would annex the majority
of the Otay Valley Parcel, the Mary Patrick Birch Estate Ranch House and the Inverted "L"
area to the City of Chula Vista. On July 1, 1996, LAFCO approved the reorganization,
designated the City as the conducting authority and authorized the City Council to conduct
the proceeding to complete the reorganization process. Those proceedings require the
Council to hold a noticed hearing on the reorganization. The Council is authorized by
LAFCO to approve the change in organization subject to the LAFCO conditions for
maintaining fire service to the Otay Landfill (completed July 30, 1996) and County of San
Diego receiving the landfill nuisance easements from Village Development and SNMB, Ltd.
The continuance is necessary because the County has not yet received the easements from
SNMB, Ltd. in a form satisfactory to them. The County Board of Supervisors has to accept
the easement before the City Council holds the final reorganization hearing. There is a
possibility the September 10 hearing may need to be continued as well. All parties are trying
to resolve the issues as soon as possible. We will keep the Council appraised of the
situation.

In August of 1995, the City Council authorized the filing of a reorganization application
with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the Otay Ranch
Reorganization No. 1. The proposed reorganization would annex the majority of the Otay
Valley Parcel, the Mary Patrick Birch Estate Ranch House and the Inverted "L" area to
the City of Chula Vista. The reorganization was filed with LAFCO on April 8, 1996. On
July 1, 1996, LAFCO approved the reorganization, designated the City as the conducting
authority and authorized the City Council to conduct the proceeding to complete the
reorganization process. Those proceedings require the Council to hold a noticed hearing
on the reorganization and adopt a resolution ordering the reorganization if a majority
protest of landowners is not received. Since the annexation area is uninhabited, only
property owner protests have a legal effect on the reorganization under State law. The
reorganization is terminated if protested by property owners controlling 50% or more of
the total assessed value of the annexation. If no majority land value protest is received, the
Council is authorized by LAi:CO to adopt a resolution ordering the change in organization
subject to the LAFCO conditions for maintaining fire service to the Olay Landfill and
County of San Diego receiving the landfill nuisance easements.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council conduct the hearing and, if a majority
land value protest is not received, adopt the attached resolution ordering the change in
organization for the Otay Ranch Reorganization No. 1 annexing 9.35410 acres of the
Olay Valley Parcel, the Mary Patrick Birch Ranch House properly and the Inverted
planning area to the City, detaching the Olay Landfill from ~he City. detaching the
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date: 8-13-95
Inverted "L" planning area and the ranch house property from the Rural Fire Protection
District and directing the City Clerk to file a certified copy of the resolution with the
Executive Officer of LAFCO.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION: As indicated previously, San Diego LAFCO conducted their public
hearing on the City's proposed reorganization on July 1, 1996. The Commission approved
the City's request for a comprehensive annexation of the entire Otay Valley or Western
Parcel with the exception of the Otay Landfill. As proposed in the landfill agreement with
the County, the application also included the detachment of the existing portion of the
Otay Landfill from the City and excluded the 250-acre landfill extension area from the
Sphere of Influence. The entire landfill area was designated as a Special Study Area by
LAFCO. Since the City will surround the landfill, it will become a County "island" within
the City. LAFCO made the necessary finding to support the creation of this island.
LAFCO has required as a condition of the reorganization that the City enter into an
agreement with San Diego county to continue to provide fire protection services to the
landfill. The County Board of Supervisors approved the agreement at their July 30, 1996
meeting.
Annexations and detachments are subject to LAFCO review and approval under the
Cortese/Knox Local Government Reorganization Act of 1985. If more than one
annexation or detachment is proposed in a single application, then the action is considered
a reorganization. There are three actions authorized by LAFCO for the City Council to
consider: 1) annexation of the Otay Valley Parcel, the Inverted "L" planning area and the
Ranch House property to the City, 2) detachment of the Otay Landfill from the City, and
3) detachment of the Inverted "L" and Ranch House properties from the Rural Fire
Protection District (RFPD). The City has been authorized by LAFCO to process the
RFPD detachment since LAFCO policies discourage overlapping service boundaries and
the City will be providing fire protection to these properties.
BACKGROUND: On February 5, 1996, LAFCO amended the City's sphere of influence
to include the majority of the Otay Valley Parcel and the Inverted "L" planning area. The
Ranch House property was already within the city's sphere. The County "peninsula" was
not included at that time due to the on-going landfill and property tax negotiations. On
July 1, 1996, at~er the successful completion of these negotiations, LAFCO amended the
City's sphere to include the County "peninsula".
Under the Cortese~nox Local Government Reorganization Act of 1985 (GCS 5600, et.
seq.), an annexation can be initiated by either the property owner or the City. In this
instance, the City initiated the proceeding for the reorganization. LAFCO agreed that
additional territory is necessary for proper planning and future extension of City services
to serve the entire reorganization area. The three reorganization areas are:
Page 3, Item __
Meeting Date: 8-13-95
The Otay Valley or Western Parcel - The Otay Valley or Western Parcel is the
largest of the areas authorized for annexation encompassing approximately 8,690
acres. This area is surrounded on the west, north and east by the City of Chula
Vista and is bounded by Telegraph Canyon Road on the north, Heritage Road on
the west, the southern slopes of Otay Valley on the south and Lower Otay
Reservoir on the east. The Otay River Valley comprises the southern boundary of
and is wholly included within the Planning Area.
There are several parcels that are not part of the Otay Ranch which are also
included within this Planning Area. These parcels range in size from
approximately 9 acres to 136 acres and include the Nelson/Sloan rock quarry, the
Otay Water District future reservoir sites, the existing City of San Diego reservoir
and several privately-owned properties. This area excludes the 250-acre landfill
extension site.
The Inverted "L" Planning Area - The Inverted "L" Planning Area is
approximately 530 acres in size. This area includes the Inverted "L" Parcel of the
Otay Ranch, the Watson property and two smaller Clarkson and Turner parcels.
All of these parcels are part of the Sphere Study. These properties are adjacent
northeast of the Salt Creek Ranch proiect and, due to topography, relate more to
the existing City limits than to Proctor Valley. Annexation of this area represents
logical extension of City services.
The Mary Patrick Birch Ranch House Property - The Ranch House property is
approximately 135 acres in size and owned by the Stephen and Mary Patrick Birch
Foundation. The area surrounding the Ranch House is designated within the Otay
Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) as Special Conference Center and Low
Density Residential. The Ranch House area was within the City's 1985 Sphere of
Influence. The existing Ranch House complex is surrounded by the City on two
sides and needs sewer service.
LAFCO also considered the City's reorganization application on July 1,1996. In August of
1995, the City Council had authorized City staff to file a reorganization application with
LAFCO to annex these areas to the City. Due to on-going property tax and landfill
agreement negotiations, the application was not filed until April 8, 1996. The
reorganization application also included the detachment of the existing portion of the Otay
Landfill within the City and the detachment of the Inverted "L' and Ranch House
properties from the RFPD.
Rural Fire Protection District - The detachment from the District was proposed to avoid
duplication of fire protection services to these areas. Chief Bagnell of the RFPD has
expressed concern to LAFCO staff regarding the effect the reorganization will have on the
RFPD property tax generation and budget. Project Team has met with Chief Bagnell
several times along with LAFCO staff during the processing of the sphere update and

reorganization application. As provided for in State law, the District's concerns were
considered during the property tax negotiations with the County. During these
negotiations, the County represented the special districts as required under State law. No
funds were allocated to the RFPD under the property tax agreement.
Otay Landfill - The detachment of the Otay landfill from the City and deletion of the
landfill extension from the sphere will create a County "island" within the City. Creation of
islands are expressly restricted in Section 56375 of the Government Code unless LAFCO
can make certain findings. LAFCO was able to make the findings to support the creation
of this island since the island will not be detrimental to orderly development of the
community and the area could not reasonably annex to another city. This is the first island
that has been created in the County since the adoption of the Cortese/Knox Act.
Proctor Valley Road - During public agency review of the reorganization proposal, the
County Public Works Department requested that the City take over maintenance of
Proctor Valley Road in the County between the Inverted "L" and the City boundary at the
Salt Creek Ranch project. Proctor Valley Road cuts through the very southeasterly comer
of the Inverted "L" north of the Upper Otay Reservoir. Proctor Valley Road is a dirt road
in this location and, according to the City Director of Public Works, the City does not
have the equipment to maintain the road. The reorganization application was amended to
delete the small portion (.75 acre) of Proctor Valley Road right-of-way leaving
maintenance responsibility with the County.
LAFCO Authorization - On July 1, 1996, LAFCO held a public hearing on the proposed
reorganization. LAFCO approved the reorganization imposing two conditions in their
resolution. The first requires the City and the County to enter into an agreement whereby
the City will continue to provide fire protection services to the Otay Landfill afrer
detachment. Secondly, that the City receives written notice from the County indicating the
County has received properly executed landfill nuisance easements. The County Board of
Supervisors approved the fire service agreement at their July 30, 1996 meeting and is
scheduled to consider the easements at their August 20, 1996 meeting. Staffwill report on
their status at the City Council hearing.
LAFCO directed the City to order the following actions in their approval:
1. Annex 9,354.10 acres to the City
2. Detach 265.05 acres from the City (existing landfill)
3. Detach 664.10 acres from the Rural Fire Protection District.
LAFCO designated the City as the conducting authority for the reorganization and
authorized the City to conduct the proceedings in compliance with State law and the
LAFCO resolution. Since the reorganization area is uninhabited, the City Council is
required to hold a publicly noticed hearing to receive protest from property owners. The
reorganization is terminated if protested by property owners controlling 50% or more of
Page 5, Item __
Meeting Date: $-13-95
the total assessed value of the annexation is received by the City. Land value is determined
from the latest regular San Diego County tax roles. If no majority land value protest is
received, the City Council is authorized to order the reorganization by adopting the
attached resolution. The City Clerk is directed to file the certified resolution with the
Executive Director of LAFCO. The reorganization is completed and effective when the
Executive Director records the resolution with the County Recorder and files the
resolution and fees with the State Board of Equalization (SBE).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Impact on the General Fund:
There is no impact of processing the annexation application on the General Fund because
Village Development is reimbursing the Project Team and other City stafftime through a
deposit account. Village Development has paid the LAFCO annexation filing fee of
$25,370 and will pay the $4,450 SBE fee. Staff has received fair share contributions for
the LAFCO fee from several of other property owners within the annexation area and has
requested contributions for the SBE fee.
With the successful conclusion of the property tax negotiations and the establishment of
the reserve fund, no operating expenses to the General fund are anticipated
Impact on Project Team Staffing:
There is no impact because processing has been included in the project budget.

5, Division 3, commencing with Section 56000 of the Government Code; and
WHEREAS, the proposal has been modified to a reorganization, which includes
detachment of territory from the City of Chula Vista and the Rural Fire Protection District;
and
WHEREAS, the territory proposed for reorganization is as described in the

Meeting Date
A) Resolution ~/~l~) Approving a contract with the Chula Vista
Chamber of Commerce to provide Chula Vista Convention and Visitors
Bureau Promotion Services
B) Resolution I~lf/~ II Approving Third Amendment to the contract
with the Chanthef of Conunerce to provide Visitor and Transit

SUBMITTED BY: Deputy City Manager Krempl
Principal Manage. ment Assistant Young~f_-,3/~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager . (4/5ths Vote: Yes__ No X )
Pursuant to Council Policy #230~01, as approved 3/21/95, staff has negotiated a contract with
the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce for operation of a Chula Vista Convention and Visitors
Bureau and the performance of certain designated visitor and convention promotional services.
This contract runs through the end of fiscal year 1996-97, at which time a subsequent one-year
contract and budget would be brought forward for consideration. A corresponding one-year
extension to the existing contract with the Chamber for operation of the Visitor Information
Center is also recommended.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolutions:
A) To approve a one-year contract with the Chamber of Commerce for Convention and
Visitors Bureau promotional services, with total direct compensation totalling $67,500; and
B) To make a corresponding third amendment to the existing Chamber contract to proyide
Visitor and Transit Information Services at the Chula Vista Visitor Information Center and
Chamber of Commerce Main Office, extending the initial term by one additional year.
BOARD/COMMISSION/BUSINESS COMMUNITY RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff has worked with the Chamber of Commerce to finalize this contract and they concur in
the staff recommendations.
BACKGROUND
In 1994, in conjunction with consideration of the scheduled rate increase in the Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT), Council received a request from the Chamber of Commerce and Chula
Vista Motel Association to create a Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Item , Page 2
Meeting Date 8/13/96
Similar bureaus already serve North County, Carlsbad, Coronado, and the San Diego
metropolitan area. These groups typically conduct advertising campaigns, produce brochures,
attend trade shows, and operate tourist-oriented facilities.
The focus of the Chula Vista bureau, as established in 1995, is to promote Chula Vista
destinations, including the U.S. Olympic Training Center (OTC), Nature Center, Chula Vista
harbor events, and local motels, restaurants, shopping and other related activities. This bureau
also intends to promote Chula Vista during major conventions and events in the region,
including the Republican National Convention and Tour d'Elegance.
On March 21, 1995, Council approved increasing the TOT rate from 8% to 10% along with
a policy (#2301-01, see Attachment #4) and a draft budget for a Convention and Visitors
Bureau. The funds to operate the Convention and Visitors Bureau were included in the
approved City budget for fiscal year 1995-96, subject to negotiation of a contract with the
Chamber.
According to that policy, a one-year Convention and Visitors Bureau contract would be
executed with the Chamber of Commerce during the course of each year's budget
consideration, Guidelines for the contract dollar amount also are set forth in that policy.
Although the bureau may eventually be "spun oW' as a separate entity, neither staff nor the
Chamber recommends that option until the organization has a few years to build.
On a related subject, the City has had a contract with the Chamber for operation of the Visitor
Information Center at the Bayfront Trolley Station since January 1995 and the provision of
general, visitor and transit information at both that location and the Chamber main office since
1987. Several of the items provided in that contract (i.e. operating subsidies) are identified in
this contract as part of the City's responsibilities toward the bureau (See Part B below).
Contract for Convention and Visitors Bureau
For 1996-97, the policy guideline is $133,000 in total Convention and Visitors Bureau funding.
The proposed contract is for a portion of that total ($67,500), with the remainder of bureau-
related services to be administered or separately contracted by the City. This contract is a
formalization of the information presented as part of the Community Promotions budget in
June. Other than the new term and scope of services, this contract is substantially the same
as the one approved for 1995-96.
The projects to be undertaken and their budgeted amounts are divided into Chamber (Part A)
and City (Part B) responsibilities:

$12,048 total)

$15,788
$1,188
$6,024
$10,000
$10,000
$7,500
$65,500
Payments for the Part A Chamber-provided services would be made on a quarterly basis in
conjunction with quarterly reports from the Chamber presenting appropriate project and
accounting data.
The visitor center subsidy, which is a portion of Part B, is not expected to reach the $15,000
maximum in 1996-97, primarily due to revenues from backlit displays. The total subsidy paid
for 1995-96 was approximately $12,900. The current focus on visitor information versus
former operators' "convenience store" approach presents something of a challenge in making
Item , Page 4
Meeting Date 8/13/96
the center a profit-maker. By far the largest portion of retail operations at the center is transit
pass sales, but with the extremely low margin on such transactions ($0.25 profit on the sale
of a $49 monthly pass, with other commissions as low as a nickel), this activity does little to
cover staffing and other costs. Transit-related operations are key to the purpose and location
of the visitor center, but they have presented financial problems for every operator since the
center opened.
Nevertheless, for the 1996-97 fiscal year, several factors should work to improve the economics
of the center and significantly reduce the need for a subsidy. These include: pending rentals
of the backlit advertising space (estimated to net $4,000-$7,000/quarter), the additional
sales/display area, and the hiring of a full-time marketing specialist. In addition, with the
$12,000 in San Diego County Community Enhancement Funds received by the Chamber for
the Convention and Visitors Bureau (part of $18,000 received by the Chamber overall), there
should be expanded capacity for paid advertising and other activities this year. Staff will
continue to work closely with the Chamber toward both operational and capital improvements.
Other Convention and Visitors Bureau Contract Terms
Among its general provisions, this contract would provide that:
In any joint City/business advertising conducted by the Chamber on behalf of the
Bureau, participation be open to all tourist-relevant Chula Vista businesses, regardless
of membership in the Chamber of Commerce or Motel Association
In no case would the Convention and Visitors Bureau subsidy for such joint advertising
exceed 60% of the total cost, with the remainder to be paid by the business(es)
participating in the advertising.
Design of all City-funded Convention and Visitors Bureau items for publication,
display, signage, etc. be reviewed and approved by the City's Public Information
Coordinator
Third Amendment to Existin~ Contract: Visitor and Transit Information
The existing contract with the Chamber of Commerce for operation of the visitor information
center and provision of general, visitor and transit information services also expired on Jtme
30, 1996. Although the contract provides for three, three-year options to extend, it is the
recommendation of staff and the Chamber to extend the initial term of this contract for just one
additional year. This is in recognition of the fact that there is still a significant start-up curve
to the Chamber's operation of the visitor center and the Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Likewise, although there has been some thought given to merging the two contracts, that has
I?-¥
Item , Page 5
Meeting Date 8/13/96
not been recommended at this time. The main reason for this was the relative ease of
preparing limited amendments to the term and scope of services in the existing contracts. Staff
and the Chamber will evaluate these future alternatives closely in the coming year, especially
in light of recent improvements made at the center and their potential effects on overall
operations. The three three-year options will be reconsidered next year.
Update on 1995-96 Actions
The past year has been one of several construction projects at the visitor center funded through
the Convention and Visitors Bureau budget. The top priority after the Chamber began
operations was for expansion of the usable commercial space. This was accomplished in
January-February 1996 through adding of windows and moving a door to enclose the center's
former breezeway area, upgrading the heating/air conditioning (HVAC) system to accommodate
the additional indoor space, and rewiring as needed for alarms, electricity and vending
machines (at a cost of approximately $12,230). This virtually doubled the size of the enclosed
space and facilitated visitor center staff directly overseeing retail merchandise and backlit
displays. Related improvements were also completed through Bayfront Trolley Station funds
to reroof the building ($2,668) and graffiti/etch-protect the new windows ($1,484).
The first of the permanent displays, designed in-house by Planning and Public Information
stafP; was completed and installed in July (at a cost of approximately $8,670). It will allow
~br publicizing of City attractions and sale of advertising to area restaurants, motels, and other
businesses in a tasteful and organized manner. The new display includes space for 54 back-lit
photos and a telephone for speed-dialing to the advertisers. Future displays will accommodate
static exhibits (e.g. from the Historical Museum, Nature Center or Olympic Training Center)
and retail merchandise and will also include a City display/brochure rack at the visitor center
of the Olympic Training Center.
Also recently completed is the updated version of the city's visitor brochure (last designed in
1990; See Attachment 7). The new design, which prominently features the USOC's ARCO
Training Center and highlights other attractions and events, including the Chula Vista Nature
Center, South Chula Vista Library, golf courses, harbor, and downtown area. Copies of this
brochure and the existing Nature Center brochure will continue to be distributed through this
contract to more than 200 visitor brochure racks throughout the county at the Convention
Center, hotels, and other major tourist locations. This brochure, in conjunction with the San
Diego Convention Center's backlit display, the new Visitor Center backlit display, and two ad
placements done this year (in the San Diegan and the San Diego CONVIS Official Visitor
Planning Guide; See Attachment 7), should provide additional regional exposure and image
enhancement for the City.

Item , Page 6
Meeting Date 8/13/96
Other activities undertaken by the Chula Vista CONVIS include joint trade show attendance
with city staff at the annual Mexport trade show, booth participation in the Tour d'Elegance
with an accompanying coupon book to Chula Vista businesses, and production of brochures
spotlighting area restaurants and motels.
Priorities for 1996-97
Under the Chamber's operation, the center has shifted away from its former "convenience
store" style focus. Although some snack items continue to be sold, the primary retailing now
is in transit tickets, postcards, maps, t-shirts, magnets, Mexican auto insurance, and discounted
passes to the zoo and other attractions. One class of items that had been sought for sale or
consignment at the Visitor Center was Olympic Training Center memorabilia. To date,
however, USOC officials here and in Colorado Springs have resisted allowing such sales. Staff
and the Chamber will continue to pursue this possibility.
One of the issues which will be a continuing focus for the City and Chamber in the coming
year is stabilization of the contractual marketing staff. The person hired by the Chamber for
this position in January left the position in March. Although other staff were able to fill-in on
a temporary basis, staff and the Chamber agreed that it did not make sense to recruit and hire
a tull-time individual with three months remaining in the contract. Upon renewal of this
contract, that hiring process will go forward. In the future, the extension of this contract for
multiple year terms should assist both the City and the Chamber in ensuring a smooth and
coordinated marketing, advertising and retailing operation. At the same time, with the
completion of the major construction and display improvements at the visitor center, there is
now an increased capacity for advertising and other activities at the center for the marketing
staff to coordinate.
FISCAL IMPACT
As approved in the fiscal year 1996-97 budget, the total Convention and Visitors Bureau
budget is $133,000, with $67,500 set aside for contractual services (See Chart A above).
Of the $65,500 in remaining portions of the budget (See Chart B above), most are related to
the operation of the Visitor Center and covered by a separate contract. The third amendment
to this contract that is being recon'Lmended would extend that agreement through June 30, 1997,
to be co-terminus with the new one-year Chula Vista Convention and Visitors Bureau contract.
All the items in this contract are included in the approved 1996-97 budget, thus, no further
appropriation is necessary.

INTRODUCTION
Bicycle use for both recreation and commuting purposes has increased significantly in recent
years in Chula Vista and the surrounding region. There has been steady growth in bicycle use for
reasons suc.h as physical fitness, recreation, concern about rising fuel costs and environmental
protection. These interests have resulted in increased public demand for bikeways and mutes where
bicycles can be ridden with ease and relative safety.
The degree of community support for more and improved bicycle facilities was demonStrated
in a 1983 Bike Route Facilities Report that included a city-wide public opinion survey. A majority of
lfle people surveyed said they would ride bicycles more often if better or additional bicycle facilities
existed in the city.
This report presents an important step in the City's continuing systematic approach to
implement a Bikeway Program for its citizens. The study area consists of the planning sphere of
influence of the City of Chula Vista. The relationship between this planning area and the San Diego
metropolitan area is illustrated in the vicinity map in Figure 1-1.
The current bikeway plan was reviewed from an engineering standpoint. New bikeways
were added and the new proposed bikeway plan was broken down into 295 project segments. Cost
estimates were then prepared for each segment. Appendix "A" consists of a status database
summary of all bikeway segments in the Chula Vista region. Cost estimates are included in
Appendix B. Future bikeways are shown in Appendix 'C". The State of California General Bikeway
Plan Requirements are shown in Appendix 'D".
Also included in this report are design guidelines for the Chula Vista bicycle system. These
guidelines were developed from the Caltrans Highway Design Standards Manual.
The report is divided into five chapters:

THE BIKEWAY PLAN
This chapter presents a brief description of each bikeway on the Chula Vista Bikeway Plan.
The CALTRANS definitions of the three types of bicycle facilities are:
· Bike Path (Class 0: Provides a completely separated right-of-way for the exclusive use
of bicycles and pedestrians with cross-flow minimized.
· Bike Lane (Class 2): Provides a striped lane for one-way bike travel on a street or
highway.
· Bike Route (Class 3): Provides for shared use with pedestrian or motor vehicle traffic.
The proposed Bicycle Plan for Chula Vista is shown in Figure 2-1. The Plan very clearly
indicates the emphasis the City has placed on bicycling in the last few years as the eastern
territories have developed. Virtually all major streets in this newer part of Chula Vista have been
constructed with bicycle lanes.
The Bicycle Plan also recognizes that it would be very difficult to provlde Class 2 Bicycle
Lanes on streets in the older areas of the City west of 1-805 without removing parking or widening the
streets. Therefore, except for Orange Avenue, Broadway and Main Street, all new bicycle facilities
in this area of town have been classified as Class 3 Bicycle Routes.
In order to offer more encouragement to bicycle users in Chula Vista, it is desirable to install
Class 2 Bicycle Lanes, or at a minimum, 14 foot wide outside lanes (excluding curb and gutter) on
designated bicycle routes. Therefore, as improvements are made to streets in the older areas of the
City, accommodations for bicyclists should be considered.
To encourage bicycle use other facilities like bicycle lockers have been provided at Trolley
· Stations and Park-and-Ride lots located as called for on the Regional Bicycling Map. Bicycle lockers
at Park-and-Ride lots located at both the 1-805/SR 54 tTaffic interchange and Paseo Del Rey and
Telegraph Canyon Road; and also at San Diego Trolley stations at E Street, H Street, and Palomar
8t~eat all appear to be in heavy use. Consideration should be given to plating additional lockers at
the ~lley stations and at some new locations. Large commercial/office facilities, schools and other
central locations could bo good places for new lockers.

BIKEWAY FACILITY DESCRIPTIONS
Bayshore Bikeway
An important link in the SANDAG Regional System is the continuation of the Bayshore
Bikeway through the City. This existing bikeway which traverses most of the San Diego Bay
region, enters Chula Vista from the north on Broadway at the Sweetwater Channel, turns east on
C Street as a bike lane, south on 5th Avenue as a bike route, west on F Street across I-5 as a bike
mute, west on Lagoon Drive as a bike lane, south on 'lidelands Avenue as a bike lane, west on G
Street as a bike route, south on Sandpiper Way as a bike route, south on Marina Parkway as a bike
lane, and south on Bay Boulevard as a bike lane.
There is consideration being given on constructing a Bicycle Path across the Sweetwatsr
River Channel along the west side of I-5. When this bikeway is completed, it will become part of the
Bayshora Bikeway, roplacing the temporary Broadway connection from National City to F Street in
Chula Vista. (See discussion on State Route 54; Swaetwater River later in this chapter.)
Bay Boulevard
The section of Bay Boulevard from E Street to J Street is likely to become an important
commuter route. This roadway is more direct than the alternative route along the marina. Class 2
Bicycle Lanes are recommended for Bay Boulevard.
Broadway
The section of Broadway between Palomar Street and the southerly City limits could
provide a connection between the bikeways on Palomar Street/Orange Avenue and the future Otay
River Valley bikeway. The bikeway would also connect with the existing bicycle lanes on Bayer
Boulevard(Broadway, south of the City limits) in San Diego. Installation of Class 2 bicycle lanes are
recommended when Broadway is widened south of Main Street and the existing on-street parking is
removed north of Main Street.
Fourth Avenue
Another connection to the SANDAG Regional System is 4th Avenue which runs from the
National City limits to Bayer Way. Most of Fourth Avenue is currently constructed to the Class I
four-lane collector standard. The traffic volume along most of 4th Avenue varies between 8,000 and
9
JHK & Associates
20,000 vehicles per day. North of "C" the ADT is 32,000. Most of the land use fronting the corridor
is residential. The corridor serves an elementary school, two high schools, the Chula Vista Civic
Center, and the main library.
Fourth Avenue is the most ideal route for a major north-south bikeway ihrough Central
Chula Vista. The street cross section and alignment provide excellent route continuity between
National City on the north and southern San Diego on the south. It is recommended that this route
remain as a Class 3 Bicycle Route for now. A feasibility and design concept study needs to be
pedormed if the City decides to add bicycle lanes or restripe the roadway to provide 14 foot wide
outside lanes to Fourth Avenue,
Third Avenue
The section of Third Avenue from Naples Street to Beyer Way should remain as a Class 3
Bicycle route facility. This section of Third Avenue connects the east-west bikeways along Naples
Street, Palomar Street and Orange Avenue. Tl~e extension south to Beyer Way is necessary for
route continuity between Chula Vista and south San Diego.
Second Avenue
Another connection to the Regional System coming out of National City is Second Avenue.
Second Avenue is currently constructed to the two-lane collector standard. The average traffic
vOlume on Second Avenue is about 5,500 vehicles per day. The majority of the land use fronting the
corridor is residential. The corridor provides regional connections from National City and should
remain as a Class 3 Bicycle Route between the Sweetwater Channel and L Street.
Hilltop Drive
Another north-south facility is Hilltop Drive between F Street and Main Street. Hilltop Drive
is a Class II local collector street. The land use within the corridor.is primarily residential. The
corridor serves three elementary schools, a junior high school, and a high school. A Class 3 Bicycle
Route should remain in place along this segment of roadway.
Brandywine Avenue
Brandywine Avenue is an important north-south local collector street link running parallel and
east of 1-805. The corridor serves residential areas adjacent to the freeway. A Class 2 Bicycle
Lane should remain in place along this roadway.
10
JHK & Associates
Medical Center Road
Class 2 Bicycle Lanes have been installed on the full existing length of Medical Center Road
from Telegraph Canyon Road to Medical Center Court. These lanes should be extended to
Brandywine Avenue when Medical Center Road is extended to that point.
Bonita Road/First Avenue
The Bonita Road/First Avenue segment is necessary to connect the Bonita Road and Plaza
Bonita Road bikeways to the Hilltop Drive and F Street bikeways. This segment begins at F Street
and First Avenue, runs north along First Avenue to Bonita Road, then east along Bonita Road to
Flower Street where the existing Class 2 bike lane begins. The existing Class 3 Bicycle Route is
adequate for this segment of roadway.
F Street
F Street provides for a continuous route from Hilltop Drive to Bay Boulevard. Most of F
Street is a two-lane Class II collector street between Broadway and Hilltop Drive. However, west of
Broadway and from west of Fourth Avenue to east of Third Avenue, the roadway is constructed to
the four-lane Class I collector standard. The land use within the corridor is primarily residential. The
corridor serves the Chula Vista Civic Center and main library, and also provides access across
Interstate 5 to the San Diego Bayfront. West of Bay Boulevard F Street (Lagoon Drive) has Class
II Bicycle Lanes. The existing Class 3 bicycle route east of Bay Boulevard is adequate today.
H Street/East H Street
H Street provides the connection between the Fourth Avenue regional bikeway and the
existing Class 2 Bicycle Lane on East H Street east of Interstate 805. This section of H Street
through Central Chula Vista carries traffic volumes in the range of 23,000 to 40,000 vehicles per
day. A Class 3 Bicycle Route is adequate for now. The installation of Class 2 Bicycle lanes is
recommended if "H" Street is widened. When it is widened the Bicycle Lanes should be extended to
Bay Boulevard. There should be Bicycle Lanes on Bay Boulevard by that time.
J Street/East J Street
J Street/F..t J Street is a four lane major street west of Broadway and two lane Class II
local collector street east of Broadway. The land use within the corridor consists primarily of
residential uses. J Street provides a connection from Bayfront and the Bayshore Bikeway to the
11
JHK & Associates
Telegraph Canyon Road bikeway by way of Hilltop Drive. East J Street provides a safe connection
from Hilltop Drive across Interstate-805 to the communities located between East H Street and
Telegraph Canyon Road. When East J Street is extended to its ultimate terminus, it will provide a
mute between Southwestern College and Central Chula Vista. The corridor serves two existing
elementary schools, an existing junior high school and a future junior high school. 'J" Street/East J
Street is classified and signed as a Class 3 Bicycle Route between Bay Boulevard and Paseo
Ladera. The remaining protion of East J Street east of Paseo Ladera should be signed as a Class 3
Bicycle Route.
Palomar Street
Palomar Street is currently constructed as a four-lane Class I collector street between
Interstate 5 and Industrial Boulevard and between Broadway and Hilltop Drive. It is a six-lane major
street between Industrial Boulevard and Broadway. The land use west of Second Avenue is a
mixture that includes commemial-strip and light industrial development with some residential. East of
Second Avenue, residential land uses dominate. The existing Class 3 Bicycle Route is adequate for
Palomar Street from Orange Avenue to Oleander Avenue. However, Class 2 Bicycle Lanes should
be implemented along the section between Bay Boulevard and Orange Avenue and east of the
Medical Center/Brandywine corridor when Palomar Street is extended to the east.
Orange Avenue
Orange Avenue is planned as a four-lane major street between Palomar Street and
Interstate 805. The land use within the corridor consists primarily of residential uses. The corridor
serves two elementary schools. A Class 2 bike lane is recommended for the full length of Orange
Avenue between Palomar Street and Wueste Road. This includes the section between Paseo
Ranchero and Eastlake Parkway, unless it becomes an expressway. This latter section should be
added to the general plan bicycle facilities program to provide .route continuity and to improve bicycle
access to the planned eastern town center. Although not currently included in the General Plan, the
segment between Paiomar Street and Third Avenue passes by the new City library and should be
bcluded.
Naples Street
The section of Naples Street from Fourth Avenue to Medical Center Road is signed as a
Class 3 Bicycle Route and should remain so.

OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The original Bike. Routes Element d the general plan was adopted in 1975. At that time, the
following objectives and policies were established by the City of Chula Vista to provide for the safe,
convenient use of bicycles throughout the community for both recreational use, and as a good
alternative to the automobile as a form of local transportation:
Objectives
To preserve, restore or provide the opportunity for a bicyclist to ride a bicycle to
virtually any chosen destination, thereby making the bicycle e viable transportation
alternative.
2. To provide a system of bicycle routes affording the bicyclist the maximum possible
safety.
3. To provide related facilities and services necessary to permit the bicycle to assume a
significant role as a form of local transportation.
4. To foster the development of a system of interconnecting bikeways throughout the
county and region.
Policies
1. Locate bikeways along designated scenic roadways wherever possible.
Z Connect cultural facilities, recreation areas, educational facilities, major employment
centers, commemial areas, perks, and open space areas by bikeways.
3. Encourage the provision of parking areas for bicycles at all cultural facilities, recreation
areas, educational facilities, major employment centers and commercial areas.
4. Separate bicycles and automobiles whenever it is physically possible to do so.
5. Locate bikeways so that they blend with the community and give the rider a sense of
spaciousness and a visually pleasing experience.
6. Design bicycle facilities as an integrated part of all subdivisions and planned residential
developments.
7. In planning any development, drculation plan, or street improvement give consideration to
the bicycle as a potential part of the traffic mix, whether or not the street includes a
designated bikeway.
3
JHK & Associates
10.
Encourage commuter and recreational bicycling as a means to reduce air pollution and
traffic congestion.
Encourage the provision of space (a p~di~' ~)f the vehic!~) on public transportation '
systems for carrying recreation and commuter bicycles.
Utilize public property, such as flood conlrol channels, parks, and open spaces wherever
possible for construction of bicycle paths.
The objectives and policies outlined above were considered in the development of the new
bikeway plan presented in this report.
EXISTING BIKEWAY FACILITIES
Several bicycle facilities have been established in Chula Vista since the development of the
original Bike Routes Element. The existing General Plan Bicycle Facilities Program is shown in Figure
1-2. Figure 1-2 distinguishes current bikeways from future bikeways. The General Plan does not
currently specify the type of bikeway facility to be constructed in each proposed corridor. One of the
objectives of this study is to establish what type of facility should be implemented in each corridor.
SAN DIEGO REGIONAL BIKEWAY MAP
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has established a system of
regional bikeways in the San Diego metropolitan area. This bikeway system is intended to serve
regional long-distance travel needs in addition to providing for local travel. The designated SANDAG
regional bikeway corridors in the City of Chula Vista planning area are shown in Figure 1-3.
One of the objectives of this study is to review the proposed SANDAG bikeway network
within the planning area of the City of Chula Vista, and to make recommendations as to how the
plan may be updated. This subject is addressed in the next chapter.

2. THE BIKEWAY PLAN
This chapter presents a brief description of each bikeway on the Chula Vista Bikeway Plan.
The CALTRANS definitions of the three types of bicycle facilities are:
· Bike Path (Class 13: Provides a completely separated right-of-way for the exclusive use
of bicycles and pedeslfians with cross-flow minimized.
· Bike Lane (Class ~: Provides a striped lane for one-way bike travel on a street or
highway.
· Bike Route (Class 3): Provides for shared use with pedestrian or motor vehicle traffic.
The proposed Bicycle Plan for Chula Vista is shown in Figure 2-1. The Plan very clearly
indicates the emphasis the City has placed on bicycling in the last few years as the eastern
territories have developed. Virtually all major streets in this newer part of Chula Vista have been
constructed with bicycle lanes.
The Bicycle Plan also recognizes that it would be very difficult to provide Class 2 Bicycle
Lanes on streets in the older areas of the City west of 1-805 without removing parking or widening the
streets. Therefore, except for Orange Avenue, Broadway and Main Street, all new bicycle facilities
in this area of town have been classified as Class 3 Bicycle Routes.
In order to offer more encouragement to bicycle users in Chula Vista, it is desirable to install
Class 2 Bicycle Lanes, or at a minimum, 14 foot wide outside lanes (excluding curb and gutter) on
designated bicycle routes. Therefore, as improvements ars made to streets in the older areas of the
City, accommodations for bicyclists should be considered.
To encourage bicycle use other facilities like bicycle lockers have been provided at Trolley
· Stations and Park-and-Ride lots located as called for on the Regional Bicycling Map. Bicycle lockers
at Park-and-Ride lots located at both the 1-805/SR 54 traffic interchange and Paseo Del Ray and
Telegraph Canyon Road; and also at San Diego Trolley stations at E Street, H Street, and Palomar
S~'ast all appear to be in heavy use. Consideration should be given to placing additional lockers at
the trolley stations and at some new locations. Large commercial/office facilities, schools and other
con~'al locations could be good p~aces for new lockers.

BIKEWAY FACILITY DESCRIPTIONS
Bayshore Bikeway
An important link in the SANDAG Regional System is the continuation of the Bayshora
Bikeway through the City. This existing bikeway which traverses most of the San Diego Bay
region, enters Chula Vista from the north on Broadway at the Swastwater Channel, tums east on
C Street as a bike lane, south on 5th Avenue as a bike route, west on F Street across I-5 as a bike
route, west on Lagoon Drive as a bike lane, south on Tidelands Avenue as a bike lane, west on G
Street as a bike route, south on Sandpiper Way as a bike route, south on Marina Parkway as a bike
lane, and south on Bay Boulevard as a bike lane.
There is consideration being given on constructing a Bicycle Path across the Sweetwater
River Channel along the west side of I-5. When this bikeway is completed, it will become part of the
Bayshora Bikeway, replacing the temporary Broadway connection from National City to F Street in
Chula Vista. (See discussion on State Route 54 ~ Sweetwater River later in this chapter.)
Bay Boulevard
The section of Bay Boulevard from E Street to J Street is likely to become an important
commuter route. This roadway is more direct than the alternative route along the marina. Class 2
Bicycle Lanes are recommended for Bay Boulevard.
Broadway
The section of Broadway between Palomar Street and the southerly City limits could
provide a connection between the bikeways on Palomar Street/Orange Avenue and the future Otay
River Valley bikeway. The bikeway would also connect with the existing bicycle lanes on Bayer
Boulevard(Broadway, south of the City limits) in San Diego. Installation of Class 2 bicycle lanes are
recommended when Broadway is widened south of Main Street and the existing on-street parking is
removed north of Main Street.
Fourth Avenue
Another connection to the SANDAG Regional System is 4th Avenue which runs from the
National City limits to Bayer Way. Most of Fourth Avenue is c_urrentiy constructed.to the Class I
four-lane collector standard. The traffic volume along most of 4th Avar~ue varies between 8,000 and
9
JHK & Associates
20,000 vehicles per day. North of "C" the ADT is 32,000. Most of the land use fronting the corridor
is residential. The corridor serves an elementary school, two high schools, the Chula Vista Civic
Center, and the main library.
Fourth Avenue is the most ideal route for a major north-south bikeway through Central
Chula Vista. The street cross section and alignment provide excellent route continuity between
National City on the north and southern San Diego on the south. It is recommended that this route
remain as a Class 3 Bicycle Route for now. A feasibility and design concept study needs to be
performed if the City decides to add bicycle lanes or restripe the roadway to provide 14 foot wide
outside lanes to Fourth Avenue.
Third Avenue
The section of Third Avenue from Naples Street to Beyer Way should remain as a Class 3
Bicycle route facility. This section of Third Avenue connects the east-west bikeways along Naples
Street, Palomar Street and Orange Avenue. Tt~e extension south to Beyer Way is necessary for
route continuity between Chula Vista and south San Diego.
Second Avenue
Another connection to the Regional System coming out of National City is Second Avenue.
Second Avenue is currently constructed to the two-lane collector standard. The average traffic
volume on Second Avenue is about 5,500 vehicles per day. The majority of the land use fronting the
corridor is residential. The corridor provides regional connections from National City and should
remain as a Class 3 Bicycle Route between the Sweetwater Channel and L Street.
Hilltop Drive
Another north-south facility is Hilltop Drive between F Street and Main Street. Hilltop Drive
is a Class II local collector street. The land use within the corridor.is primarily residential. The
corridor serves three elementary schools, a junior high school, and a high school. A Class 3 Bicycle
Route should remain in place along this segment of roadway.
Brandywine Avenue
Brandywine Avenue is an important north-south local collector street link running parallel and
east of 1-805. The corridor serves residential areas adjacent to the freeway. A Class 2 Bicycle
Lane should remain in place along this roadway.
10
JHK & Associates
Medical Center Road
Class 2 Bicycle Lanes have been installed on the full existing length of Medical Center Road
from Telegraph Canyon Road to Medical Center Court. These lanes should be extended to
Brandywine Avenue when Medical Center Road is extended to that point.
Bonita Road/First Avenue
The Bonita Road/First Avenue segment is necessary to connect the Bonita Road and Plaza
Bonita Road bikeways to the Hilltop Drive and F Street bikeways. This segment begins at F Street
and First Avenue, runs north along First Avenue to Bonita Road, then east along Bonita Road to
Flower Street where the existing Class 2 bike lane begins. The existing Class 3 Bicycle Route is
adequate for tflis segment of roadway.
F Street
F Street provides for a continuous route from Hilltop Drive to Bay Boulevard. Most of F
Street is a two-lane Class II collector street between Broadway and Hilltop Drive. However, west of
Broadway and from west of Fourth Avenue to east of Third Avenue, the roadway is constructed to
the four-lane Class I collector standard. The land use within the corridor is primarily residential. The
corridor serves the Chula Vista Civic Center and main library, and also provides access across
Interstate 5 to the San Diego Bayfront. West of Bay Boulevard F Street (Lagoon Drive) has Class
II Bicycle Lanes. The existing Class 3 bicycle route east of Bay Boulevard is adequate today.
H Street/East H Street
H Street provides the connection between the Fourth Avenue regional bikeway and the
existing Class 2 Bicycle Lane on East H Street east of Interstate 805. This section of H Street
through Central Chula Vista carries traffic volumes in the range of 23,000 to 40,000 vehicles per
day. A Class 3 Bicycle Route is adequate for now. The installation of Class 2 Bicycle lanes is
recommended if *H" Street is widened. When it is widened the Bicycle Lanes should be extended to
Bay Boulevard. There should be Bicycle Lanes on Bay Boulevard by that lime.
J Street/East J Street
J Street/East J Street is a four lane major street west of Broadway and two lane Class II
local collector street east of Broadway. The land use within the corridor consists primarily of
residential uses. J Street provides a connection from Bayfront and the Bayshore Bikeway to the
11
JHK & Associates
Telegraph Canyon Road bikeway by way of Hilltop Drive. East J Street provides a safe connection
from Hilltop Drive across Interetate-805 to the communities located between East H Street and
Telegraph Canyon Road. When East J Street is extended to its ultimate terminus, it will provide a
mute between Southwestern College and Central Chula Vista. The corridor serves two existing
elementary schools, an existing junior high school and a future junior high school. *J" Street/East J
Street is classified and signed as a Class 3 Bicycle Route between Bay Boulevard and Paseo
Ladera. The remaining protion of East J Street east of Paseo Ladera should be signed as a Class 3
Bicycle Route.
Palomar Street
Palomar Street is currently constructed as a four-lane Class I collector street between
Interstate 5 and Industrial Boulevard and between Broadway and Hilltop Drive. It is a six-lane major
street between Industrial Boulevard and Broadway. The land use west of Second Avenue is a
mixture that includes commemial-strip and light industrial development with some residential. East of
Second Avenue, residential land uses dominate. The existing Class 3 Bicycle Route is adequate for
Palomar Street from Orange Avenue to Oleander Avenue. However, Class 2 Bicycle Lanes should
be implemented along the section between Bay Boulevard and Orange Avenue and east of the
Medical Center/Brandywine corridor when Palomar Street is extended to the east.
Orange Avenue
Orange Avenue is planned as a four-lane major street between Palomar Street and
Interstate 805. The land use within the corridor consists primarily of residential uses. The corridor
serves two elementary schools. A Class 2 bike lane is recommended for the full length of Orange
Avenue between Palomar Street and Wueste Road. This includes the section between Paseo
Ranchero and Eastlake Parkway, unless it becomes an expressway. This latter section should be
added to the general plan bicycle facilities program to provide .route continuity and to improve bicycle
access to the planned eastern town center. Although not currently included in the General Plan, the
segment between Palomar Street and Third Avenue passes by the new City library and should be
included.
Naples Street
The section of Naples Street from Fourth Avenue to Medical Center Road is signed as a
Class 3 Bicycle Route and should remain so.
12
JHK & Associates
Main Street
Due to heavy truck traffic and the poor pavement conditions bicycle use has not been
encouraged along Main Street, west of Third Avenue. However, it is recommended that Main Street
east of Third Avenue be constructed with Class 2 Bicycle Lanes when the existing roadway is
widened and reconstructed.
Eastern Chula Vista Facilities
Currently, Class 2 Bicycle Lanes or Class 3 Bicycle Routes are provided on Bonita Road
(Flower Street to San Miguel Road), East H Street (I-805 to Buena Vista and Otay Lakes Road to
Eastlake Parkway), Telegraph Canyon Road (Hilltop Drive to Nacion Street and 1-805 to Otay
Lakes Road), and Otay Lakes Road (Bonita Road to Ridgeback Road and Apache Drive to Hunte
Parkway). These bicycle facilities link the residential, commercial, and recreational 'centers of the
developing Eastern Territories area. With the implementation of the General Plan, Class 2 Bicycle
Lanes are recommended for all roads classified as a major or higher and on certaln collector streets
identified in specific plans. These would include: Rutgers Avenue, Hunte Parkway,'Paseo Ranchero,
Heritage Road, Otay Lakes Road, Sweetwater Road, San Miguel Road, Proctor Valley Road,
Palomar Street, Orange Avenue, Otay Valley Parkway, La Media Road, and Eastlake Parkway. In
addition, Class I Bicycle paths are recommended throughout the Chula Vista Greenbelt area,
following the Sweetwater River, the Otay River, Salt Creek Canyon and the western shores of the
Otay Lakes.
Willow Street
The existing narrow two-lane bridge on Willow Street across the Sweetwater River requires
that bicyclists share the traffic lanes with motor vehicles. The City has constructed a
bicycle/pedestrian b!idge across Sweetwater River parallel to the Willow Street bridge. A Class I
Bicycle Path will be needed on the same side of Willow Street that the bridge is built. This path
should run from the traffic signal at Sweetwater Road to the signal at Bonita Road. This is
necessary to provide bicyclists with a safe place to cross Willow Street to reach the new bridge.
Ultimately, the section of Willow Street from Bonita Road to Swastwater Read should be
upgraded to include Class 2 Bicycle Lanes at the time the Willow Street bridge is widened or replaced,

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
Bikeway Linkage to Major Activity Centers
Figure 2-2 shows the location of major activity centers within Chula Vista and the existing
and planned bikeway facilities to serve them. As shown, the majority of the activity centers are
serviced by either Class 3 Bicycle Routes (in Central Chula Vista) or by Class 2 Bicycle Lanes (in
the Eastern Territories).
Bikeway Linkages to Open Spaces and the Greenbelt Area
Rgure 2-3 shows the location of the Chula Vista Open Space and Greenbelt System and the
existing and proposed bikeway facilities to serve them. As shown, the Bayshore Bikeway and the
Highway 54/Sweetwater River Channel Bikeway, and the eastern termini of the East H Street and
Otay Lakes Road bikeways will adequately serve the open space areas. In addition, the Otay Ranch
master planned community is committed to providing bicycle access to the proposed Otay River/Salt
Creek Greenbelt area as part of the amenities package for the project. The project includes a
hierarchy of bicycle~rail systems which include interlinking local connections between its residential
villages and its various neighborhoods, parks, schools, and activity centers. A major bicycle/trail
connection is planned through the heart of the project, linking Otay River Valley (which includes the
eastern portion of the proposed Otay Valley Regional Park), through Wolf Canyon, to Salt Creek.
· Additionally, the Otay Ranch bicycle network also is designed to link with off-si!e regional bikeways
and trail systems. The entire bicycle network will provide a web of opportunities for accessing all of
the open space areas within the Chula Vista planning area and areas beyond.
OTHER CONSlDERATIONS
Bike Plan Revisions
The general philosophy of the proposed Chula Vista Bikeway Master Plan is to concentrate
limited funding for bicycle facilities on designated routes. With this philosophy in mind, the intent of
this plan is to recommend bicycle facilities on those roadways that ara most appropriate for bicycle
travel. These roadways were chosen on the basis of system connectivity and street and traffic
characteristics.

JHK & Associates
State Route 54 - Sweetwater River
A Class I Bicycle Path has been provided along the north bank of the Sweetwater River
drainage channel as part of the construction of the State Route 54 South Bay Freeway. This
corridor could act as part of the future Greenbelt bikeway. However, better access to the Bikeway
from Chula Vista is needed. A parallel corridor could be provided along the bank levy of the
Sweetwater Flood Control Channel.
The Sweetwater River bikeway is connected to Plaza Bonita Road north of the Sweetwater
River Channel. Additional connections are provided at 2nd Avenue and at 33rd Street in National
City near Interstate 5. The 33rd Street connection is the current western terminus of the bikeway.
Sweetwater River Bikeway/Bayshore Bikeway Connections
An environmentally sensitive area currently exists at the mouth of the Sweetwater River
between the San Diego Bay and Interstate 5.
Currentlly there are plans to construct the Bayshore Bikeway as a Class I Bicycle Path
along the west side of Interstate 5 between National City and Bay Boulevard. The path will be
connected to the Sweetwater River Bike Path by crossing under the Interstate 5 bridge over the
Sweetwater River channel. Please see figure 2-4.

Otay River Green Belt
Recent master planning efforts for the Otay Valley Regional Park included a proposed
bikeway facility in the corridor. Considered for inclusion within the Otay Valley corridor are camping
areas, hiking and nature trails, and open space preserve areas for the protection of the natural plant
and animal life. The plan did poin~ out that both Main Street in Chula Vista and Palm Avenue in
South San Diego, are planned for regional bikeways paralleling the Otay River Valley. The Bike Plan
shown on Figure 2-1 recommends the substitution of the Main Street bikeway with a bikeway on
Orange Avenue/Palomar Street as a regional bikeway for this area.
It is preferable not to combine Bicycle Paths with hiking paths due to the difference in travel
speed and safety requirements of the two modes. This does not imply that a.bikeway cannot be
constructed in the corridor without interfering with the other uses of the park. If desired, a Class I
Bicycle Path could be planned to run along the northern boundary of the Otay Valley green belt area.
Such a location would also provide easy access with other surface street bikeways in southern
Chula Vista without the need for bridges.

The current San Diego Regional Bikeway System is shown in Figure 1-3. The purpose of the
Regional Bikeway System is to service long-distance travel needs in addition to providing local
connections to major cultural, commercial and recreational centers. Based on the proposed Chula
Vista Bicycle Plan, the regional system needs to be amended as shown in Rgure 2-5.
The bikeway on Third Avenue from "L' Street to Main Street has been eliminated as a
regional facility. Fourth Avenue provides direct access from Palm Avenue inthe City of San Diego
to National City. In addition, F Street, between Broadway and Hilltop Drive is recommended as a
regional facility with recommended linkages to Bonita Road and East H Street via Hilltop Drive. With
the inclusion of F Street as a regional facility, G Street should be deleted as a regional bikeway. J
Street should be added as an east-west regional mute between Bay boulevard and Hilltop Drive.
This corridor would serve as a western extension of the Telegraph Canyon Road bikeway which
terminates at Hilltop Drive. With the construction of Chula Vista Mall and the abandonment of a
portion of 5th Avenue, 5th Avenue should also be deleted from the regional network, as it no longer
has connectivity. Fourth Avenue will provide a good alternative route. The Palomar Street bikeway
should only be designated as Regional from the Bayshore Bikeway to Orange Avenue, and Orange
Avenue should be designated as a Regional from Palomar Street to its eastern terminus at Lower
19
JHK & Associates
Olay Reservoir. The bikeway along Oleander Avenue should be eliminated as a regional bikeway in
favor of the Medical Center/Brandywine corridor between Telegraph Canyon Road and Olay Valley
Road. The Medical Center/Brandywine corridor will include bicycle lanes, which would better serve ·
lhe role of a regional bikeway.
Hilltop Ddve from Telegraph Canyon Road to Main Street should remain as a Regional
Route. It provides connections to Orange Avenue and Olay Valley Road. Bay Boulevard would
make a good future Regional Route (for commuters). The 2nd Avenue Regional Route should
terminate at a parlJcular destination or at another Regional Route, in this case ",Y' Street.

BIKEWAY DESIGN
GUIDELINES
The following guidelines are a synopsis of the bikeway design ~tandards used by Caltrans.
More spec!tic details are available in the Caltrans Highway Design Standards Manual. Additional
information may be obtained from the 1991 AASHTO publication, Guide for Development of New
Bicycle Facilities, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and the Caltrans Traffic Manual.
CLASS I BIKEWAYS
Class 1 bikeways (Bicycle Paths) are facilities with exclusive right-of-way and restrictions
on crossing by motorized vehicles. Class 1 Bikeways are frequently shared with pedestrians.
However, if pedestrian activity is significant, separate facilities for pedestrians are necessary to
minimize conflicts. Motorized vehicles are not permitted on Class I bikeways except for maintenance.
1, Width
The minimum paved width for a two-way bicycle path shall be eight feet. Widths of 10 to 12
feet are desirable. The minimum paved width for a one-way bicycle path shall be five feet. A
minimum two foot wide graded shoulder area shall be provided adjacent to the pavement. A three
foot graded area is preferred. In areas of intense pedestrian activity, or high bicycle volumes, two-
way bicycle path widths of more than 12 feet may be necessary.
2. Clearance to Obstructions
A minimum two foot horizontal clearance to obstructions shall be provided adjacent to the
pavement. A three foot clearance is preferred. The vertical clearance to obstructions across the
clear width of the path shall be a minimum of eight feet.
JHK & Associates
3. Signing and Striping
Bikeway signing shall conform to Chapter 6 of the Caltrans Traffic Manual. A four-inch
wide yellOW centerline stripe may be used to separate opposing directions of travel. This practice is
desirable on high volume bikeways, on sections of bikeway with restricted sight distance, and on
unlighted bikeways commonly used at night. Centerline sl~'ipes shall consist of three-foot stripes with
nine-foot gaps. Under no circumstances shall raised pavement markers be used for lane delineation.
4. Intersections with Highways
Where motor vehicle cross traffic and bicycle traffic are heavy, grade separations are
desirable to eliminate conflicts. Where grade separations are not feasible, a traffic signal should be
considered.
Where traffic is not heavy, stop or yield signs on the bicycle path should be used. Bikeway
Crossing warning signs should be posted on the intersecting highway to warn motorists of the
upcoming crossing.
5. Separation Between Bicycle Paths and Highways
The minimum separation between the edge of a bicycle path and the traveled way on a
highway shall be at least five feet. A distance of 10 feet is desirable to prevent water splashing
from passing motor vehicles.
Bicycle Paths closer than five feet from the edge of the traveled way must include a
physical barrier to prevent bicyclists from encroaching on the highway. Barriers Should be a minimum
of 4.5 feet in height to prevent bicyclists from falling over them.
Bicycle Paths immediately adjacent to streets and highways are not recommended.
6. Bicycle Paths in the Median of Highways
For safety, Bicycle Paths should not be placed in the medians of highways because they
require turning movements contrary to normal rules of the road.
7. Design Speed
The minimum design speed for Bicycle Paths should be 20 miles per hour. On Bicycle Paths
with down grades steeper than four percent for a distance of 500 feet or more, a 30 mile per hour
design speed is recommended. Advanced curve, warning signs should be posted to warn of curves
with design speeds less than 15 miles per hour.
23
JHK & Associates
8. Horizontal Alignment and Superelevation
A minimum straight two percent cross slope is recommended on all Bicycle Paths for
drainage, Superelevations steeper than two percent should be avoided on Bicycle Paths expected to
carry adult three-wheel bicycle traffic.
9. Stopping Sight Distance
The placement of critical warning signs and intersection corner sight distances shall be
designed in accordance with stopping sight distances in Figure 3-1.
The minimum length of vertical crest curves shall conform to the stopping sight distance at
the design speed. Stopping sight distances and minimum curve lengths for various design speeds are
shown in Figure 3-2.
The minimum lateral clearance required for an adequate line of sight to obstructions on
horizontal curves shall conform to the stopping sight distance et the design speed. Minimum lateral
clearances on horizontal curves are shown in Figure 3-3.
10. Grades
The maximum grade recommended for Bicycle Paths is five pement. It is desirable that
sustained grades be limited to two percent. Steeper grades up to eight pement may be tolerated for
short segments up to 500 feet in length.
11. Structural Section
Asphaltic bikeway pavement sections consist of three to six inches of asphalt concrete on a
compacted subgrade, or two to three inches of asphalt concrete on a three to four inch aggregate or
stabilized base with a compacted subgrade.
Concrete bikeway pavement sections consist of four inches of Portland Cement concrete on
a three to six inch aggregate or stabilized base with a compacted subgrade.
12. Drainage
A minimum two percent cross slope should be provided on bike paths for proper drainage.
Hillside paths should include drainage ditches to intercept water descending from the hillside.

13. Barrier Posts
Barrier posts are sometimes necessary to prevent motor vehicles from entering a bicycle.
path. The minimum spacing between posts shall be five feet to provide for adult three wheeled
bicycles and bicycle towed trailers. Post delineator reflectors should be provided.
14. Lighting
Rxed-source lighting reduces conflicts along paths at intersections. In addition, lighting allows
the bicyclist to see the bicycle path alignment, surface conditions and obstacles. Lighting for bicycle
paths is important and should be considered where riding at night is expected, such as bicycle paths
serving college students or commuters, and at highway intersections. Lighting should be considered
through underpasses or tunnels, and when nighttime security could be a problem. Depending on the
location, average maintained horizontal illumination levels of 0.5 foot-candle (5 lux) to 2 foot-candles
(22 lux) should be considered. Where special secu. rity problems exist, higher illumination levels may be
considered. Light standards (poles) should meet the recommended horizontal and vertical clearances.
Luminaires and standards should be at a scale appropriate for a pedestrian or bicycle path.
CLASS II BIKEWAYS
Class 2 bikeways (Bicycle Lanes) for preferential use by bicycles are established within the
paved area of streets and highways. Bicycle lane stripes are intended to promote an orderly flow by
dedicating an exclusive travel path for bicycles on the motor vehicle traveled way. In all cases,
Bicycle Lanes shall be one-way facilities. Two-way Bicycle Lanes along one side of a street are not
permitted.
1. Width
Bicycle Lanes located between parking and motor vehicle travel lanes shall be a minimum of
five feet wide. A six-inch solid white edge line should be used to delineate the right-of-way for the
bicycle lane. Bicycle Lanes shall not be placed between the parking area and the curb.
One-way Bicycle Lanes located on streets or highways without parking shall be a minimum
of four feet wide, excluding gutter width if curbing is present. (This AASHTO guideline is an
enhancement of the current Caltrans guideline which permits a width of four feet including the gutter
width.)
2. Striping and Signing
JHK & Associates
Bicycle lane signing and striping shall conform to Chapter 6 of Ihs Caltrans Traffic Manual.
$. Intersection Design
Treatment of Bicycle Lanes at intersections shall conform to Chapter 6 of the Caltrans
Traffic Manual. The "bike lane' pavement marldngs shall be used on all Bicycle Lanes departing an
intersection. The 'bike lane' pavement marking may be used elsewhere, if required.
CLASS III BIKEWAYS
Class 3 bikeways (Bicycle Routes) are intended to provide route continuity between existing
Class I and Class 2 bikeways, as well as local service to side destinations. Normally, Bicycle Routes
share the right-most traffic lane with motor vehicles.
1. Width
The right-most traffic lane of a designated Bicycle Route shall be a minimum of 14 feet in
width to allow motor vehicles to pass bicycles on the left without leaving the lane.
2. Signing
Class 3 bikeways shall be delineated by the "Bike Route" sign using placement standards
outlined in Chapter 4 of the Caltrans Traffic Manual.
OTHER DESIGN ELEMENTS
1. Bikeway Bridges
The minimum width of the bikeway between bridge railings should be as wide as the width of
pavement on the adjacent bikeways. The desirable bridge width would include two feet clear distance
to the railing. Bridge railing shall be a minimum of 4.5 feet in height to minimize the possibility of
bicyclists falling over the railing. Exclusive pedestrianFoikeway bridges should be designed to
withstand a minimum uniform deck loading of 85 pounds per square foot. Much higher deck loadings
must be used if utility and maintenance vehicles must also cross the bridge.
2. Surface Quality.
Jill( & Associates
The surface of Bicycle Paths, Bicycle Routes and Bicycle Lanes shall be maintained free of
potholes and abrupt edges. New finished bikeways should not vary more than 0.2 feet from the lower
edge of an eight foot straight edge when laid on the surface in any direction.
3. Drainage Grates and Railroad Crossings
Drainage inlet grates on bikeways shall have openings narrow enough and short enough to
;~sura bicycle tires will not drop into the grates, regardless of the direction of bicycle travel.
All bikeways shall cross railroad ~'acks at a minimum 60 de~ree angle to the cente~line of the
track.

4. COST ESTIMATES
This chapter describes the assumptions made for the derivation of project cost estimates.
Each bikeway on the Chula Vista Bikeway Plan was divided into a series of project segments. The
necessary improvements required to establish a bikeway on each of these segments were then
documented in a computer database.
BIKEWAY PLAN CHARACTERISTICS
This section summarizes some of the characteristics, and the current state of
implementation, of the Chula Vista Bikeway Master Plan. These statistics were obtained from the
project database, which includes 291 records representing short segments of the bikeway plan
throughout Chula Vista--252 of these records represented facilities inside of Chula Vista. The other
39 records represented segments that are within the County's jurisdiction but fall within the City's
sphere of influence and provide a continuance to the City's regional bikeways. These records were
separated into a group called 'Outside City Limits" facilities.
The following characteristics pertain to those facilities inside of Chula Vista:
Total Length of Bikeways - 150 miles
Completed - 67 miles (45%)
Proposed- 83 miles (55%)
Class I Bike Paths - 38 miles (25%)
Completed - 3 miles (8%)
Proposed- 35 miles (9~/o)
Class II Bike Lanes - 83 miles (55%)
Completed - 37 miles (45%)
, Proposed- 46 miles (55%)
Class III Bike Routes - 29miles (2(ff/~)
Completed- 27 miles (92"/0)
Proposed- 2 miles (8°/°)
31
JHK & Associates
Regional Bikeways (All Classes) - 77 miles (51%)
Completed- 47 miles (61%)
Proposed - 30 miles (39%)
Non-Regional Bikeways (All Classes) - 73 miles (49%)
Completed - 20 miles (27%)
Proposed- 53 miles (73%)
Bayshore Bikeway - 5.3 miles
Completed- 3.5 miles (660/°)
Proposed- 1.8 miles (34%)
Greenbelt Bikeway - 31.4 miles
Completed- 2.4 miles (8%)
Proposed - 29.0 miles (92%)
The total length of bikeways outside city limits is approximately 21 miles.
Appendix A includes a listing for all 291 bikeway segments, lfle designated class, length and
development status, and whether they are included in the SANDAG regional plan. Separate lists are
also provided for bikeways outside city limits, the Bayshore bikeway, and the Greenbelt bikeway.
PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS
The assumptions made when assigning construction elements to each bikeway improvement
project included:
· Route designation, warning, and regulatory signs will be provided on all bikeways
regardless of class.
Striping and pavement markings will be provided to designate bicycle lanes and to
supplement regulatory and warning signs on Class I bicycle paths and Class 2 bicycle
lanes.
· All Class I bicycle paths are assumed to be ten feet in width.
JHK & Associates
Class I bicycle paths located adjacent to streets shall be paved with Portland Cement
Concrete (PCC). A five inch PCC surface on a compacted subgrade is assumed.
Bicycle paths located adjacent to rivers, creeks, and drainage channels shall be paved '
with asphalt concrete (AC). A five inch AC surface on a compacted subgrade is
assumed.
An engineering design cost equal to 15 percent of the subtotal of the itemized construction
elements shall be added to the total cost of each project.
A contingency cost equal to 25 percent of the subtotal cost of the itemized construction
elements shall be added to the total cost of each project. This extra cost is assumed to
cover design elements not included in this cost analysis. These additional design elements
must be defined during the final design of each project.
OTHER CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS
There are a number of construction elements that should be considered, but could not be
estimated at the level of detail of this study. These elements should be incorporated in more specific
concept plans for individual bikeway corridors.
· Pedestrian/bicycle ramps shall be provided where bicycle paths adjacent to streets cross
side street intersections.
· Grade separation structures, culverts or bridges should be provided on bicycle paths
crossing major roadways, rivers or drainage channels.
· Additional earthwork may be required on Class 1 bicycle paths running adjacent to river
channels.
· Recreational rest stops with street furniture and water fountains shall be provided along
greenbelt bicycle paths at reasonable intervals.
Some landscaping improvements may be necessary where Class 1 bicycle paths cross
major streets, or where bikeway construction seriously disrupts established vegetation.
UNIT COSTS
Table 4-1 summarizes the unit costs associated with each of the design elements estimated
in this project cost analysis. These unit costs were estimated following a review of project cost
documentation from previously completed bikeway projects in San Diego County, unit costs used by
JHK & Associates, and current unit cost estimates obtained from various cities in the San Diego
33
JHK & Associates
metropolitan area, including comments from Chula Vista. Table 4-1 lists which unit c~)st was
obtained from which source.
Table 4-2 shows the unit cost estimates for street furniture and landscaping elements. The
landscaping unit cost accounts for all soil preparation, plant material, installation, and irrigation
systems. Street furniture, lighting and hardware costs are estimated separately from landscaping
costs for each project. The costs for turf and ground cover are weighted assuming 60 percent ground
cover and 40 pe~cent turf will be applied for landscaping.
COST ESTIMATE
The total cost to build the remaining sections of the Chula Vista Bikeway Master Plan is
estimated to be approximately $17,723,000. A majority of this cost is required to construct the new
Class 2 bicycle lanes, which require street widening and new curb and gutter. The bikeway costs, by
class are $7,185,900 for the Class 1 bicycle paths, $10,534,300 for the Class 2 bicycle lanes, and
$2,800 for the Class 3 bicycle routes. Appendix B provides a listing of segment-by-segment cost
estimates, corridor subtotals and a grand total cost for the Chula Vista Bikeway Master Plan in
current dollars.

IMPLEMENTATION
NEAR TERM BIKEWAY IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES
Several existing bikeway corridors have missing, incomplete links that need to be installed for
system continuity. Missing Class 2 Bicycle Lane links include: Orange Avenue from Palomar Street
to Hilltop Drive; East "H" Street from west of Buena Vista Way to Otay Lakes Road; Telegraph
Canyon Road from Nacion Avenue, under Interstate-805, to Halecrost Drive; the east side of Otay
Lakes Road from Ridgeback Drive to East "H" Street, and on both sides of Otay Lakes Road from
East 'H" Street to Apache Drive.
BIKEWAY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
The computer database provided by this study is an excellent means by which fl~e City may
keep track of the utilization, state-of-repair of traffic control devices, and physical maintenance of
the Chula Vista bikeway system. This benefit comes in addition to the more common use of the
database: to project construction costs and keep track of the progress toward completing all links in
the ultimate system.
A bikeway utilization survey could be implemented using volunteer members of local bike
clubs. Collecting data at a rotating set of sites every two years is a good way to keep track of
changes in bikeway utilization, as well as the need for improvements or new facilities. The schedule
of data collection could be set up to coincide with the SANDAG selected intersection bikeway counts.
In this way, SANDAG counts may be used to supplement Chula Vista counts with additional data
collection locations. The database can also be used to keep track of the most recent bikeway volume
data, as well as trend data from earlier years.
An annual traffic control device state-of-repair inspection is important to make sure that all
signing is in place and readable, and that pavement markings ara in good condition. This inspection
may also include a check for improperly parked vehicles, or notable safety problems along a bikeway.
JHK & Associates
Physical maintenance inspections may occur at the same time that traffic control device
state-of-repair inspections occur. Physical maintenance inspections are intended to determine the
need for maintenance operations such as rasurfacing bikeways, plugging potholes, trimming treas and
bushes, removing garbage and debris or repairing s~'eet furniture and light fixtures.
The computer database provides an excellent tool to help program the implementation of
bikeway maintenance. Some types of maintenance need to reoccur on a regular basis. Typical
examples are striping and pavement markings, resurfacing, oil or seal coats on asphaltic concrete
surfaces, sealing cracks, bridge inspection, or grading and general repairs to drainage systems.
Other types of maintenance are dependent upon discoveries made during field inspections.

11. RESOLUTION 18405 ADOPTING THE 1996 BIKEWAY MASTER PLAN - The City has been
involved in, and is continuing to pursue, a systematic approach to establish a comprehensive bicycle program for
the citizens. A bicycle route facilities report was prepared in 1981 and updated in 1983. Since that time the City
has annexed the Montgomery area and other large land areas as development occurred in the eastern territories and
adopted an updated General Plan in 1989. To be consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element policies, it
was necessary to prepare a new comprehensive bicycle facilities plan, which would include the annexed areas,
evaluate and recommend facility locations, class designations and cost estimates, as well as provide an
implementation schedule. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Public Works)
Councilmember Moot stated that the last time the item was in front of the Parks and Recreation Commission was
1994. In looking at the fiscal impact of the constroction of the plan, be wondered if it wonld be appropriate to have
the plan re-reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission.
John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, responded that there had not been many changes since the plan had
originally been approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission. Them were updates and the plan had been
revised to reflect the projects that had been completed and to show new developments.
Councilmember Alevy expressed concern about the actual cost to the City which was almost $3.9 million; concern
over the safety of those riding bicycles; stated some excellent path ways off traffic routes had been created; thought
it was more advantageous not to have people share the roads with cars and trucks; inquired as to the location of the
new bikeways; and asked if staff was satisfied that this was the best use for the funds available.
Cliff Swanson, City Engineer, responded that most of that was pass-through funds from the Transportation
Development Act; $3.8 million in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program was TDA bicycle elemant
funding; and $17.7 million was the full project costs, none of it would be general fund monies.
Mr. Lippitt responded that the plan provided for 38 miles of bike paths where there was now three, 83 miles of bike
lanes separated from traffic by striping but were not joined and 29 miles of bike routes where there were currently
27. A bike route was when the bicycle shares the same lane with traffic and they are going down the street. A
bike lane was where bicyclist had a separate area to ride, separate from the traffic; and a bike path was separated
from the street entirely.
Eric Rhodes, JHK Consultants, representing the consultants on the project, stated that the eastern portion of the City
was generally characterized by bike paths and bike lanes and the bike mutes were more in the western portion.
Mr. Swanson, responded that in doing the report the consultant had indicated what they had tried to do was get a
balance between the cost of the bicycle facility if it were paid for by the City or paid for by the developer. A bike
path that was totally removed from the street required more right-of-way and also cost more to build. The bikeway
plan indicated the proposed bicycle path all the way around the edge of Chnla Vista starting along Sweetwater River,
going out toward Sweetwater Reservoir, down the east side of the City over by Otay Lakes, then back through Otay
River and connecting with the Bayfront bike route. Several other bicycle paths which would be off-street were
being proposed for the eastern portion of the City. Staff had tried to look at balancing costs and providing service
to encourage casual riding. The dedicated riders, those that rode to work, preferred to be on the street so that they
could ride as fast as they could.
George Krempl, Deputy City Manager, added that the Chula Vista Green Belt depicted on the general plan in the
Otay Valley Regional Park would probably be the City's centerpiece in terms of a recreational trail system
couneeting around the City, definitely separated on their own right-of-way and not interfering with traffic. In fact,
through the Regional Park there would not be any vehicular traffic.
Conncilmember Moot asked what would become of the project if the TDA funds did not become available; if these
TDA funds were dedicated to bike paths.
Mr. Swanson responded that if for some reason the TDA funds did not become available, the bike lanes would take
longer to build unless staff could find another source of funding; the current TDA funds were dedicated to bicycle
and pedestrian facilities.
RESOLUTION 18405 Oi?/0'ERED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOOT, reading of the text was waived, heading
read, and approved 4-0-1 with Padilla absent.

12. RESOLUTION 18406 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NUMBER 2 WITt{ SIGNS AND PENNICK, INC. FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF OTAY VALLEY ROAD PHASE H AND IH - Staff was authorized to proceed with the
construction of an additional travel lane of pavement and a raised median island to accommodate the MCA
Amphitheater Project. Contract change order Number 2 is needed to pay the contractor for this additional work.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Contract Change Order
Number 2 in the amount of $202,816.36. (Director of Public Works)
Councilmember Moot asked since the project was coming in under budget if that meant a net of $105,000 would
actually be paid over what the bid came in at.
Mr. Swanson responded that was correct at present. The Wetlands Mitigation site had been deleted, once a site
was found, then it would be paid for at that time so that would add to the project cost.
13.A. RESOLUTION 18407 EXERCISING THE OPTION FOR RENEWAL OF THE LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS 1, 5, 9, AND 10 - Staff
is recommending that the City exercise its option to renew the landscape maintenance contracts with RC Landscape,
Blue Skies Landscape, Alvezia Landscape and New Way Professional Services for fiscal year 1996/97. Staff
recommends approval of the resolutions. (Director of Parks and Recreation)

BACKGROUND
Pardodsrly given the imminent opening of the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, the City desires to
promote tourism and the City's visitor-oriented attractions and facilities. Visitor promotion and ftmding has
also been discussed in the context of considering whether to abate the Transient Occupancy Tax CF.O.T.) on

PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the amount and use of Visitors and Convention
Promotion Funds.
pOLIC7
During the annual budget process, the City Council will consider the adoption of a Chula Vista
Visitors and Convention Promotion Budget for the following fiscal year. It shall be the policy of the
City that the Visitors and Convention Promotion Budget should be funded from General Fund sources
other than the T.O.T., in an amount addressed in paragraphs 2 and 3 below. In implementing this
policy, the T.O.T. revenues collected may be a measure of the amount of the appropriation, but not
the source of funds used for the appropriation.
It is the po~cy of the City Council to direct staff to prepare a proposed FY 199S-96 Visitors and
Convention Promotion Budget, for Council's consideration during its FY 95-96 budget
deliberations, in an amount of $150,000.
For FY 1996-97 and the three consecutive fiscal years thereafter, it shall be the policy of the City
Council to direct staff to prepare proposed Visitors and Convention Promotion Budgets, for Council's
consideration in its annual budget deliberations, in amounts measured by the amount of T.O.T.
revenue collected in the most recent 1-year period for which data is then available (typically April
through March) based on the following guidelines:
If the annual T.O.T. revenue is $1.5 million or less, the proposed Visitors and Convention

Second Amendment to
Contract to Provide Visitor and Transit Information Services
at the
Chula Vista Visitor Information Center
and the Chamber of Commerce Main Office
This Amendment, entered into this 6th day of June 1995, for
purposes of reference only and effective as of the date last
executed by the parties, is between the City of Chula Vista, a
chartered municipal corporation ("City"); and the Chula Vista
Chamber of Commerce ("Chamber"), and is made with reference to the
following facts:
Whereas, the City and Chamber were party to a contract for
general information services ("Previous Information Contract")
offered from the Chamber of Commerce Main Office, with compensation
provided for staff costs; and
Whereas, the City and Chamber subsequently, in December 1994,
entered into a contract on December 20, 1994 ("Combined Contract",
Document #CO-94-276) for operation of the Visitor Information
Center at the Bayfront/E Street Trolley Station; and
Whereas, due to the similarities in the services to be
provided, this Combined Contract terminated the Previous
Information Contract and provided instead for visitor and transit
services at the Chamber Main office and the Visitor Information
Center, continuing the Previous Information Contract's compensation
for staff costs and with an additional subsidy provided for Visitor
Center staff costs; and
Whereas, these services---although historically offered from
separate locations---are very similar in nature and content, such
that the Combined Contract called for their consolidation where
possible and practical; and
Whereas, the Chamber has been pursuing such consolidations,
via such efforts as a new visitor hotline (4CV-INFO) and a voice
mail system); and
Whereas, as part of the draft budget for the Chula Vista
convention and Visitors Bureau, the City and Chamber agreed to
formalize the consolidation of services by reducing the Combined
ContrWct compensation by $18,100, thus making funds available to
fund new marketing staff as budgeted in a separate contract for
Convention and Visitors Bureau Promotion Services at $20,000;
NOW, THEREFORE, coincident with the adoption of the Contract
to Provide Chula Vista Convention and Visitors Bureau Promotion
Services, the parties mutually agree that the provisions of the
Combined Contract, as First Amended on December 30, 1994 for
purposes of reference only and effectiv~ as of the.date last
executed by the parties, is hereby amended in the following regards

8.A. RESOLUTION 18011 APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH THE CHULA VISTA CHAMI3ER OF
COI~fFRCE TO PROVIDE CHLrLA VISTA CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU PROMOTION
SERVICES - Pursuant to Council Policy Number 230-01, staff has negotiated a contract with the Chula Vista
Chamber of Commerce for operation ora Convention and Visitors Bureau and the performance of certain designated
visitor and convention promotional services in coqjunction with that contract. This contract runs through the end
of fiscal year 1995/96, at which time a subsequent one-year contract would be brought forward for consideration.
Staff recommends approval of the resolutions. (D~puty City Manager Thomson and Senior Management Assistant
Young) Pulled from the Consent Calendar.
Councilmember Rindone referred to page 8-5 of the report, a change in the provision of the second amendmen~ to
have the city responsible for 100% of the operating loss of the Visitors Center up to a maximum of $15,000/year.
The Chamber was an excellent partner, but he felt the incentive should not be removed. He questioned staff's
rationale.
Gerald Young, Senior Management Assistant, responde~l that statt~s original intent in structuring the contract ,vas
to have the participation l¥orn the first dollar. However, in reviewing the experience of the Visitors Center it uas
staff's position, as well as the Chamber, that during the first year to year and half of operation that there wml!l
some expectation of an operating loss as some of the issues were ironed out and the Chamber eslablisLt-~i !5 ~'
displays, advertising, etc. The Chamber still had dual incentives of participation and loss beyond the $15,000
the share of profits.
Councilmember Rindone questioned if the initial operating loss of $8,100 was included in the $15,000.
Mr. Young responded that it was not.
Councilmember Rindone did not feel the fact that the city would absorb $23,100 versus $15.000 was :le~rly
examined in the staff report. Council should not be expected to have to extract that information.
Mayor Honon stated the information was included in the report.

Councilmember Rindone stated the information was in the report in two different areas and it was not clear whether
the $8,q00 was included in the $15,000 initial loss. He was concerned that there was not a variety of different items
to purchase at the Visitors Center to help mitigate potential losses. A marketing specialist should be brought in to
help enhance the Center and allow the Chamber to make a marginal profit. Unless that was done the City/Chamber
would be in the same position in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years. Commodities such as items from the Olympic Training
Center, etc. should b~ considered. He questioned if it was staff's intent that it be a one year agreement.
Mr. Young responded that it was set out to be co-terminus with the exisling agreement with the Visitors Center and
the budget for the Convention and Visitors Bureau would be determined annually.
Councilmember Rindone hoped staff would note comments made, particularly the enhancement of items for
purchase. He requested a report wbe· the item was brought back for review in a year on how that issue had been
addressed.
RESOLUTION 18011 OFFERED BY COUNCILMEMBER RINDONE, reading of the text was waived,
Councilmember Alevy questioned how many people would be hired with the $30,000 expenditure fbr marketing
staff, ~'hether people been hired, what the procedure would be for hiring people, what their interaction would be
with c .iy staff, where their office would be, and who they would report to.
Mr. Y~ung stated there was a concern about getting marketing activities underway in terms of what was being sold,
advertising, displays, etc. One person would be hired under the conlract, they would be an independent contractor,
and it had been left flexible so the Chamber could determine the best way to procure that assistance, i.e. contractual
basis, part-time basis, or full-time basis.
· , Rod Davis, Executive Director, Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, responded that the intent was to hire
a staff person. He noted that Kobeys, which.operated the Center prior to the Chamber. had a wide range of items
for sale and still had been unable to make ends meet, The Chamber intended to provide information and had spent
an average of 20 minutes with visitors. The Chamber did intend to increase the inventory and was working with
city staff. The real issue ne..led to be settled in the future. The Chamber t~lt they should be ~lling the City and
were not there to make a profit, but hoped to break even, The Chsmber was concerned that $30,000 was not
sufficient to hire the caliber of person they wanted.

BOULEVARD, AND TOWN CENTER FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996/97 - The City administers 24 open space
districts established over the last twenty-five years. The districts provide the mechanism to finance the maintenance
of common open space areas (canyons, trails, medians, etc.) associated with and benefitting that particular
development. As part of the process, a levy of an annual assessment is necessary to enable the City to collect funds
for the proposed open space maintenance. On 5/23/96, Council approved the open space reports on assessments
for all existing open space districts and setting the public hearings. Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

Mr. Lippitt slated that staff had received a letter attached with 30 signatures representing about 26 parcels in District
18, in opposition to an increase and had some concerns about maintenance and about access of illegal cars. The
actual amount of the collectables is much less than the assessment, the collectable is actually going down. For
1995/96 the assessment was $293 and the collectable was 234; for 1996/97 the assessment would be increased by
$6 to $299 but the collectable would go down from $234 to $228.
A concern of one resident was the amount of maintenance being done next to his property that is an SDG&E open
easement. There is a driveway that has access for SDG&E vehicles to maintain their pole lines. People are driving
up there that are not suppose to be there and carrying on activities that are objectionable to the neighbors. He
thought the open space district staff had money budgeted to put some barriers on the road so that cannot happen
in the future and that should occur during the next year.
Mayor Horton stated that there had been several letters from residents and wanted to know if staff had responded
to their concerns. Mr. Lippitt responded that staff had.

ACTION ITEMS
17. RESOLUTION 18371 APPROVING PROPOSED SPENDING ALLOCATIONS FOR PROPOSED
QUARTER OF A CENT SALES TAX FOR LIBRARIES - The County of San Diego has proposed putting a
quarter of a cent sales tax, to be collected for five years to supplement local library budgets, on the November 1996
ballot. If approved by 2/3rds of County voters, this sales tax increase would raise approximately $3 million dollars
a year, or $15 million total for the Chula Vista Public Library. Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
(Library Director)
David Palmer, Library Director, stated that when the County Board of Supervisors voted to pursue a quarter of a
cent sales tax dedicated to libraries it was with the understanding that urgency enabling legislation would be needed
from the State Legislature. Council, in fact, passed a resolution of support for such urgency legislation on 6/11/96.
However, that urgency legislation had not been enacted as yet and half of the Legislature had adjourned until 8/5/96.
The County Board of Supervisors in now facing a deadline of 8/9/96 to write and approve any ballot language
related to this and the Board is now scheduled to address the issue on 7/23/96. The San Diego Union had reported
that the San Diego City Council had approved its proposed spending plan for the San Diego Public Library. The
paper further reported that San Diego City Officials privately indicated that they were going to try to over come
the lawyer's concerns regarding the need for urgency legislation. Therefore, it was his opinion and that of his peers
as Library Directors, that it was highly improbable that the Board would actually decide to put the measure on the
ballot. They may instead suggest that it be delayed until the June 1998 primary election. However, because it was
uncertain, staff felt it would be prudent for Council to take action on the proposed spending plan just in case the
Board of Supervisom does decide to go forward.
RESOLUTION 18371 OFFERED BY MAYOR HORTON, reading of the text was waived and heading read.
Councilmember Rindone pointed out to staff that it should come back in a subsequent election two years from now,
not to assume that the spending plan that was designed now would be the same one in two years because it would
obviously have to be updated.
VOTE ON RESOLUTION: approved 4-0-1 with Padilla absent.

18. REPORT REESTABLISHMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY TASK FORCE AND FUNDING FOR
BIOLOGICAL CONSULTANT FOR UNIVERSITY SITE ANALYSIS - On 5/28/96, Council directed staff to
include draft policy language relating to the proposed university site in the City's draft Multiple Species
Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan for analysis in the MSCP EIR/EIS. In order to provide additional
input into decisions relating to this issue, staff is recormnending that Council reestablish the University Task Force.
la addition, staff recommends approval of resolution. (Assistant City Manager and Director of Planning)
RESOLUTION 18372 APPROPRIATING $10,000 FROM THE UNAPPROPRIATED GENERAL
FUND BALANCE FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RELATED TO BIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF
UNIVERSITY SITE ALTERNATIVES AND REESTABLISHING THE UNIVERSITY TASK FORCE -
4/Sth's vote required.
Councilmember Rindone asked what procedures would be followed in re-establishing the UCCV Task Force.
Robert Leiter, Director of Planning. answered that staff would recommend that a schedule of meetings be set up
to review the preferred University site, as well as, any alternatives that were identified and review information
provided by staffand the consultants. Based on that, staffwould bring recommendations back to Council regarding
the final resolution of those issues.
Councilmember Rindone asked what the first step would be in the formation of the Task Force. There was a list
of those who had formerly served on the Task Force and noted that some may be willing to serve again.
Mr. Leiter understood that the original Task Force was established by the Mayor and Council and was a fairly broad
based group. Certainly staffwould assist the Mayor and Council in terms of providing an update of the existing
membership.
Mayor Horton recommended approaching the former members, still in the area, to find out if they were interested
in serving again. She had already spoken to some who had expressed an interest. She also stated that she had
already volunteered to serve on the Task Force, as had Councilmembers Rindone and Padilla.

19. REPORT REVISIONS TO THE DRAFT SUBAREA PLAN FOR THE I~fl. ILTIPLE SPECIES

Subarea Plan and directed staff to forward the draft, along with Council's concerns, to the City of San Diego for
inclusion in the environmental analysis (EIR/EIS) being conducted on the MSCP and associated Subarea Plans.
Since that time, staff has been meeting with the Wildlife Agencies to respond to their concerns with the draft
Subarea Plan. Staff recommends Council authorize that revisions to the Subarea Plan be forwarded to the City of
San Diego for evaluation in the final draft EIR/EIS for the overall MSCP plan. (Director of Planning)
Mr. Leiter stated that after the report had been issued to Council, staff had been in contact with major property
owners who were involved with MSCP and received indication from all that they concurred with the recommended
changes in the plan.

20. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT(S}
a. Scheduling of meetings. Mr. Goss reminded Council that staff was tentatively attempting to schedule a
VIP tour for Saturday, 8/10/96, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 (noon). Some of the items identified so far were:
sidewalks around the South Chula Vista Library, MTDB right-of-way landscaping, the Business Incubator at Rohr,
the Postal Service Data Conversion Center on Bay Boulevard, and the Downtown Telecenter.
Mayor Horton stated that with the convention coming, she had something on her calendar for almost every day.
Mr. Goss responded that he would ask staff to poll Council for a different date.
b. Mr. Goss stated that Council had asked him the previous week to find out if the Sweetwater School District
Board could meet with them at 5:00 p.m. on 7/23/96. He received a message that they cannot meet at that time.
Staff could find out if Council's schedule would allow a meeting on a Thursday. He stated Council may want to
schedule a meeting with the Chula Vista Elementary School District at the same time.
Mayor Horton stated that when she originally brought the subject up she was including the Elementary School
District and the High School District so there would be open dialogue between the City and the two. Obviously
it was going to take some coordination, so even if it was two or three months down the line, it was something that
they should try to schedule and it would be beneficial for everyone involved.
She stated that tbere were two meetings that needed to be scheduled now with Council: (1) for making commission
appointments; and (2) for a workshop on an item mentioned the previous week. Her office would be polling the
different Councilmembers.
21. MAYOR'S REPORT(S)
a. RESOLUTION 18373 SUPPORTING HUD FUNDING FOR NON-PROFIT HOUSING
ACQUISITIONS
Mayor Horton stated that there was a recommendation from the Legislative Committee to approve the resolution.
The resolution would request that Congress take action to prevent the loss of affordable housing units by including
sufficient funds in the 1996/97 budget to support the acquisition of at-risk units by non-profit agencies. There would
be no fiscal impact to the City,

2. WRITTEN COM~O, JNICATION:
a. Letter from the Interim City Attorney stating that there were no actions that were required to be
reported under the Brown Act taken in Closed Session on 6/18/96. The letter was received and filed.
b. Letter from Bettie Warren appealing Council's decision not to sell a parcel of land to her.
· Bettie Warren asked Council if she could purchase the small piece of property in front of her house so she
could have a small front yard, and she wanted to keep the five foot fence for security reasons. She also requested
a refund of the $295 for the fees she has paid.
Councilman Alevy felt that the fence should be moved to be in a line contiguous with the rest of the property. He
felt it would be inconsistent with the rest of the area. Therefore, he was opposed to this.
Councilman Rindone did not want to debate this tonight and felt that the issue that was being proposed should be
referred to staff. If there is a favorable response, then staff should bring that back to Council.
Councilman Padilla felt that Council has dealt with different angles of the problem for some time. There is still
some room to solve the problem completely. So lets take a look at it and see that it comes back.
MSC (Rindone/Padilla) that the request for consideration of selling of that property be referred back to staff
and that if deemed appropriate, then staff report back to Council. Motion approved 4-1 (Alevy, no).
c. Letter from Dr. and Mrs. Alfred Salganick requesting reconsideration of changes to the Country Club
Drive project. Cheryl Cox, 3130 Bonita Road, Chula Vista, 91910, represented Dr. and Mrs. Salganick. She
proposed that some of the medians in front of the Salganick's home at 855 Country Club Drive be eliminated from

the Country Club Medians Project and proposed that they pay for the costs involved in installing curbs, gutters, and
sidewalks in accordance with city standards along the perimeter approximated by the currently existing pylons. The
Salganicks are requesting that the installation of the median along the centerline of the street be delayed for 12 to
18 months pending a reevaluation of the effectiveness of their proposed permanent modifications. In consideration
for the costs, they requested that the City concur in reverting ownership of the vacated area to them.
® Steve Savel, 53 Sierra Way, Chula Vista, 91911, stated that his current concern was the safety issue. He
felt that some would not want the small round oval median in the center.
Bob Thomas, 650 Floyd Ave., Chula Vista, 91910, urged Council to look at this very carefully.
· Clint Sadler, 47 Palomar Drive, Chula Vista, 91911, stated that speed was a real hazard; felt the big
median in the center should remain.
Councilman Moot felt that the design shown by Mrs. Cox would be equally effective at resolving the problem.
Without the median, however, he felt there would be a problem with people cutting across the comer and taking
the turn at a high rate of speed.
Councilman Rindone stated that this was a different design than what had been proposed before. What is different
is squaring of the comer and making it into a 'T' intersection. If this solution is better than what was originally
agreed upon, he felt it was worth the referral to staff since in all of the previous twenty4our meetings this design
had not been considered. He felt two things should be understood: (1) safety is the prime motivation and (2) the
additional cost will be picked up by the applicant as proposed. As far as the size, shape, and length of the pinion
island, staff should bring the design back to Council.
City Engineer Swanson stated that the contractor is ready to start work; he has been sent the contract forms and is
finalizing his last documents. By the time staff could get something back on the agenda, we may be jeopardizing
this particular work. Staff believes the center island is needed. Since it is a pinion-type median that goes on top
of the asphalt, it can be removed in the future if it is a problem. Therefore, staff recommends that they work with
Mr. Salganick to eliminate the ~pork chop~ island, putting in the curb, gutter, and sidewalk, but leave the median
island; that way staff could proceed with the contract now.
Councilman Alevy expressed that this proposal was much more appealing than what Council had approved last
week. He felt this was a good alternative because it does preserve the integrity of the residential part of the
Salganick's property. Because of the time constraint, he was in favor of moving forward. He was comfortable with
the proposal.
Councilman Padilla added that the time element was important. He felt that if we can make this proposal work,
it addresses the safety concerns, and the design is enhanced; then we need to move on.
MS (Padilla/Alevy) to authorize staff to work with the Salganicks to enter into an agreement to be approved
by the City Attorney to pay for changes to the Country Club Drive plan, that the center median islands not
be eliminated due to safety reasons. If the details cannot be worked out in a reasonable time, then staff be
authorized to proceed with the contract as awarded.
Councilman Rindone stated that the Banaleses be given the same opportunity that the Salganicks is given. If they
concur, then proceed as previously directed.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved 5-0.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
5. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF THE ADOPTION OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996/97 - Council has held three special
work session to consider and discuss the proposed fiscal year 1996/97 budget. Council has received citizen input
and discussed in detail with staff the impact of this budget on all city operations. The City Manager's proposed
budget has been amended based on tentative decision by Council at the budget work sessions and it is this amended
budget which is recommended to be adopted. Staff recommends Council accept public testimony and adopt the
proposed budget as amended during the review sessions and as may be further amended as a result of the public
testimony. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Administration)
RESOLUTION 18351 ADOPTION OF THE FINAL OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 1996 AND ENDING JUNE 30,
1997
Mr. Goss stated that we are now at $54.2 million plus transfers in of $5.5 million. This is significantly higher than
it was earlier in the budget process because Council has taken a number of actions regarding additional revenues.
He also pointed out the restoration of the following programs:
The Parks Maintenance Division Keeping Norman Park Center open
The Aquatics Library hours
Restoring the After School programs at four sites
We are now looking at a technical deficit of $7,000.

Suppleanental Budget Item 6: Internet E-Mail Access far Mayor and City Council. Request was for an E-Mail
address for each Councilmember at a cost of $4,185.
Mayor Horton expressed that she would support having one at the office.
Councilman Rindone felt we should be consistent: it should be for everyone or no one. He could live with a single
one for the office for another year. This is very important and beneficial once you get a working knowledge of E-
mail.
Councilman Alevy had the E-mail installed at his house as an experiment. He gets about 10 to 12 messages a week.
He felt this was a small price to pay for the communication. The more available we are at a Iow price was well
worth it. He was in favor of each one having access who chose to do so.
MSC (Horton/Rindone) that we consider this next year for each councilmemher, but at this time have just
one E-mail placed in the Mayor and Council Office. Motion approved 4-1 (Alevy, no).
Supplemental Budget Item 6F: Worker's Compensation Budget; SANDPIPA reserve for claims. If additional
reserve mnount is desired, additional funding of $563,032 would need to be added from the General Fund
Reserve.
Mr. Goss stated SANDPIPA is part of the JPA that we are a member of. This request highlights the fact that we
may need additional funding from the General Fund Reserve for Worker's Compensation. During the Fiscal Year,
this will be evaluated further, and staff will be giving Council a detailed report on this in the furore.
Budget Manager Herring clarified that this issue was raised in the budget document and in that discussion, the
narrative was unclear as to whether the funds had actually been set aside. This is to bring to Council's attention
that the issue is still outstanding; we do not have the final audit from SANDPIPA to know if we are going to have
to set additional funds aside.
Risk Manager Enos stated that th~ available balance is approximately $337,000. Under the requirements of the JPA,
we are required to maintain a $250,000 reserve for the self insured retention plus whatever our incurred liability
is, which was over $2 million. There are several calculations involved to come to the $900,000 reserve. Currently
the SANDPIPA Board is reviewing all of the claims and the methodology in setting up reserves from all
participating agencies. One of our alternatives could be to wait to see what they come up with as an acceptable
practice since they found out that all member agencies were calculating at a different manner. We would have an
opportunity to correct this.
Mr. Goss stated that staff cannot recommend a position at this point. At this point, the information is simply being
collected by staff, and senior management has not had an opportunity to review it.
Finance Director Powell stated that this is an area which has been developing over the last few years. There are
various ways to establish reserves for self insurance and for contingent liabilities. At this point, it is still being
debated, and the guidelines are not solid. We may not have to take money from the general fund and transfer it
into a trust fund. We may be able to segregate a portion of the general fund reserves to show SANDPIPA that we
have set aside certain funds to be able to pay liabilities that may be incurred. We will continue to monitor this and
make sure that we impact the general fund as little as possible.
Councilman Padilla stated that whether we do this in a set aside or reflect it as a long-term debt, or set up a trust,
there is an impact on the available general fund reserve that can be reflected as a percentage of the overall budget
that can be allocated. It may be just an accounting impact, but it is a very real one.

Supplemental Budget Item 7: Otay Gymnasium CIP. Request is to authorize staff to pursue land appraisal for
Main Street site while continuing negotiations with school district for school site. If Main Street site is acquired,
authorize use of Park Acquisition Set-aside funds to purchase.
ACTION: Consensus of Council to move ahead with Main Street but to keep both options open until a final
determination is made.
Supplemental Budget Item 15: Library Budget Information: Restore cut hours; alternative offered to mitigate
personnel layoffs to retain .50 Librarian I, delete .45 part-time Librarian I, and fund with $6,100 cut from
Periodicals Account.
Councilman Rindone asked if Council concurred with this and eliminate these layoffs, would there be any layoffs
of personnel anywhere in the budget?
Mr. Goss stated that there would be. There are some full time positions: one of the four management assistants
(three of the positions are currently vacant), the bookstore manager at the Nature Center, and the Crime Prevention
Specialist. In terms of hourly and part-time there will also be some.
Mayor Horton stated she was going to open the meeting for public comment now since it was going to be a long
meeting, and people could then go home if they wished.
· George Kost, 3609 Belle Bonnie Brae Road, Bonita, 91902, stated that Supervisor Greg Cox's office has
put up half of the cost ($3,750) for funding of music at Rohr Park this summer. He asked Council to consider
funding the other $3,750 for music at Rohr Park.
Mayor Horton stated that the County has more money than Chula Vista. Also, when they talked in the afternoon,
he had requested $500. Mr. Kost replied that was tree, but Council could increase the amount.
Mr. Goss stated that what is being proposed is a series of concerts which occur the same time that staff administers
the concerts at Memorial Bowl. There would be difficulty in terms of having enough staff to do two events on the
same day.
Mayor Horton stated that maybe staff could get together with Mr. Kost and see if there is something which could
be worked out.
· Mary Lehr, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, 91910, representing CVEA, requested that Council
reconsider and restore the Crime Prevention Program which includes one Senior Crime Prevention Specialist and
one Community Service Officer; and also restore the Equipment Mechanic I in Public Works/Operations.
· Wendell Prude, P.O. Box 722891, San Diego, 92172, representing CVEA (Service Employees International
Union Local 2028), requested consideration of restoring the three positions.
· Lois Balfour, 4004 Kearny Mesa Road, San Diego, 92111, CVEA, SEIU Local 2028, requested Council
restore the Crime Prevention Program and positions. Also, to restore the Garage Mechanic I position.
· Hale Newcomb, 515 Elm Avenue, Chula Vista, 91910, urged restoration of the Crime Prevention Program.

Councilman Rindone stated he was trying to achieve no layoffs. So we are down to a Crime Prevention position,
a Garage Mechanic, a bookstore manager, a management assistant, and the others are lateral transfers?
Mr. Goss stated that there could be a layoff at the Crime Prevention Specialist level unless Council took action to
restore this for six months while we look at our additional revenues. The issue regarding the Garage Mechanic I;
that would not be a layoff, but a transfer from one position to another although there would be about a $6,000
reduction in pay. If that occurred, he would suggest that we ,y, rate to keep the person at the level of salary they
have currently.
Councilman Rindone agre, ed that we will have to have a mid-year review of the reserves and expenditures which
did not take place last year. We do not want to repeat last year. However, he wanted to get to the position of no
layoffs.
Mr. Goss asked for clarification. The two positions which he has identified are basically the full time positions.
We also have a number of part time and hourly employees throughout the organization under the budget proposals
that are still included which could be laid off.
Councilman Alevy stated he did not have a problem with the bookstore manager position and the senior management
assistant position since there is concurrence of doing something through the administrative levels. He did have
concerns about losing preventative maintenance that we have with the Garage Mechanic 1. There may be somewhat
ora lateral move as far as what he does primarily, but we should not lose the ability to have that person do work
when the other mechanic retires or isn't there. He felt the Crime Prevention Specialist should also be maintained.
Councilman Padilla asked if we have any reasonable revenue estimates in terms of new revenues in the aggregate
amount that would allow us to avoid layoffs. We need to decide what revenues are realistic and decide what ones
we want to approve and decide if that is going to cover the policy ob.~ective of eliminating layoffs.
Mr. Goss responded that when you talk about all of them including part time and hourly, we cannot avoid those.
By restoring the parks reorganization, the aquatics, the after school recreation program, and senior citizen hours,
you are still at a working deficit. He asked Council if they were trying to accomplish a budget which is technically
balanced. If you take the working deficit and add revenue sources such as the advertising in the recreation
brochure, master fee schedule increases, and Youth sports league fees, and subtract the EastLake library hours on
Sundays, the closing of Norman Park Center on Saturdays, then you could restore the Senior Crime Prevention
Specialist for half the fiscal year and "Y' rate the Garage Mechanic I. At this point, you would have a balanced
budget.
Councilman Padilla stated that in 1992, Council had enacted a policy regarding trust funds in individual departments
including the Recreation Department. He understands that there are trust funds set up in Parks and Recreation that
is utilized and derived partly from some of the user fees that we charge for certain programs and that revenue goes
back into that fund to help maintain those programs. He is wondering where in the budget those accounts have been
holding up and how do they figure into the proposed budget. Are we dipping into those funds and transferring funds
to other accounts. Have we been utilizing those funds to supplement those parts of the Parks & Recreation budget.
Director Valenzuela stated that what Councilman Padilla is referring to are the trust accounts which are revenue
producing activities. Those funds go into an account and pay for the instructor as well as equipment. They operate
much like a revolving account to where the revenue goes back into that program. There is an allocation of
approximately 20% of that overall fund that goes back into the city's general fund, and it is the intent of those
accounts, per the City Charter as well as ordinances, for those revenue producing activities to benefit from the funds
coming in as well as serve as seed money to develop future programs. Over the years as the budget has become
lean, we have also used some of those funds to purchase things such as tables, chairs, and equipment for recreation
centers. He stated that the 20% is basically for administrative support who are the full cost recovery which helps
pay for the overhead of a given program.
Minutes

Councilman Padilla asked if we had an idea of what the status in this department or any other department of these
types of trust accounts and what their impact may be on removing some of the burden from the general fund. The
report in the minutes from when it was flint envisioned was relieving general fund responsibility in certain areas.
Where are we on this?
Recreation Deputy Director Shy responded that the non-resident account was established a couple of years ago when
we charged non-residents a larger fee than we did the regular residents. This fund has gone directly back into
providing equipment and supplies for the recreation and parks department. Examples of these kinds of purchases
are tables, chairs, alarm repairs, new equipment that we do not get through the general fund. The department hasn't
had general fund outlay in about four years, so we have been self sustaining it with revenues we receive from the
non-resident fund.
Councilman Padilla asked if there were any proposals in this current budget proposal to remove funds from the trust
funds. Have there been any transfers out of these funds to other parts of the overall budget.
Director Valenzuela responded not to his knowledge. We do have a proposal that has been pending this budget
process to utilize tmst account monies to buy tables and chairs and much needed equipment for our recreation
centers.
Mr. Goss stated that he was not aware that we have any significant trust funds in any other departments. This is
primarily in Parks and Recreation.
Supplemental Budget 24: City Services for Downtown Business Association's 1996 Promotional Events: Funds
were not added to the 1996-97 budget because of timing of approval. Request is for $10,020 which is for city staff
costs for two events.
Budget Manger Herring stated that Council had given direction several meetings ago to provide the staff time, but
not the money. That direction came in after the budget was submitted and those funds were not added, so this is
to clarify that we do want to add those funds to this budget year. The budgets within the departments are not funded
to a level to support these events. If Council wants to support them, we would have to add additional funds in these
accounts to fund them.
Councilman Rindone stated he was not prepared to make a change from the previous decision. Unless there are
three others that are, the additional $10,000 would be included.
Supplemental Budget Item 26: Deputy City Clerk position. To change from middle management to
unrepresented group. The request is to change the represented class for the Deputy City Clerk and to add monies
for overtime.
Councilman Moot asked if this could come in less than $9,000 if the Clerk could control flex time and keep the
overtime down. City Clerk responded yes.
Councilman Rindone stated he was definitely opposed to it. The person was very highly qualified who was in the
position. Indicating that you could not get a highly qualified person for the same salary, sends the wrong message.
Councilman Alevy felt that it sends the wrong message to a very qualified person. This is a tough budget year and
$9,000 here can make a substantial difference somewhere else. He felt we could hire someone very qualified.
Maybe next year we revisit this.

Councilman Moot looked at the memo and how the figures played out over the cities. His assessment was that you
won't be able to effectively fill this position without making the adjustment which has been suggested. If you look
at what other cities are paying for this position, we are clearly not doing it the way the competition is.
City Clerk Authelet stated that this position is also working at a higher level than at least two other positions in the
city who made more than the Deputy made even without the overtime.
Councilman Padilla stated that if we are looking at potential overtime only; we are not even making the base salary
more competitive for this position which in better times could be justified. Although there is a lot more information
that could be relevant in making a decision like this, however, he was comfortable in going forward. If we find
out that we need to go back and reevaluate and restructure the office or redefine the position at some future point,
then that is what we will need to do.
Mayor Horton felt that with the work load with only three staff members compared to seven in Oceanside, she did
not feel it was an unreasonable request.
MSC (Moot/Horton) to approve the budget request of $9,250 for overtime for the Deputy City Clerk. Motion
approved 3-2 (Alevy and Rindone, no).
Supplemental Budget Item 39: Council Assistant III Positions: Several options for funding are presented. Funds
were not included in the budget.
Mayor Horton stated that since there are two councilmembers for this and two members against this, she turned it
over to Councilman Alevy who had not taken a position.
Councilman Alevy stated he was not convinced that we could not get the help we needed volunteered. As
councilmembers, we should be allowed to have council aides. He also did not feel that everyone had used their
council aides as it was originally intended. He proposed that in the spirit of this budget, the Council needs to take
the lead. He proposed that instead of ten hours per week that we reduce this to five hours per week. He also
proposed that the Personnel Department assist Councilmembers in getting volunteers and interns to do the balance
without cost to the City, thereby, cutting our costs in half.
Mayor Horton stated she could support this if it is a compromise and if it is acceptable to other members of the
Council. She felt that this year was a tight year, and if things get better next year, then we should go back to status
quo.
ACTION: Council did not take a vote, since three were in favor of the position.
ADDED ITEM: Mayor Horton stated that we needed to put the $5,000 back into the Council budget somewhere
for the Odawara trip this year that was inadvertently left out.
Mr. Goss stated there are a couple of ways: (1) be put back in with Council's concurrent budget, or (2) there is
still a reserve account of about $10,000 for things like this.
Mayor Horton stated that this was not put into the reserve since we know that we will be spending this money. She
felt it was always appropriate to reciprocate in the manner that they treated the City of Chula Vista.
Regarding the Working Deficit of $97,000: Mr. Goss stated that if Council was willing to take out the Saturday
closing hours of Norman Park Center, you will save $4,000; and close EastLake Library on Sunday, you will save
Minutes
June 25, 1996
Page 9
$12,000; and add back the Council Aides, the Deputy City Clerk overtime, the Downtown Business Association,
and 6 months full-time for the Crime Prevention Specialist, you now have a working deficit of $47,776. This
clearly means that there are revenue ideas to look at such as trying to eliminate the cellular exclusion to the utility
users tax, look at the issue of Proposition 62 and the Santa Clara court case, and staff has some other ideas such
as a franchise fee for the use of city streets by other utilities. We will have a better handle on the one-time revenues
in six months after our negotiations with Sharp and refinancing of the SDG&E bonds.
Mayor Horton stated that at the last meeting, we talked about the potential increase in the business license tax, and
Council advised staff to come back with a report. However, in light of some of the things that we have been seeing
and been happening in the City of San Diego, ~he did not think it would be an appropriate move for this City.
Mr. Goss stated that under the Potential Revenues, the Business License Tax and the Utility Users Tax that applies
to wireless technology are both possible items which would have to be subject to a vote of the people under
Proposition 62. The other one, to allow the Utility Users Tax to increase from 5 % to 5.5 %; he is not sure whether
this would require a Proposition 62 vote or not. These are issues which need to be addressed if Council is looking
at these major types of revenues.
Councilman Rindone stated that one idea that was discussed during a budget workshop session which has not
reappeared was the proposal to upgrade the single Deputy City Manager position to an Assistant City Manager
having two assistant city managers on a par since there will be increased duties and the spreading those duties
equally. He offered this to his Council colleagues and hoped that since it is a good time to do it, we would upgrade
tx) two Assistant City Managers.
Mayor Horton expressed that she strongly disagreed with the recommendation being made by Mr. Rindone. She
felt from an organizational standpoint when you deal with an organization of this size, not having someone second
in command could jeopardize the City in the future. For this reason alone, she did not feel this would be a positive
change.
Mr. Goss stated that he would not recommend this at this point, but it is something he would like to provide a report
on. He did not feel it was time sensitive since the second Deputy position will be frozen and not filled. He made
the commitment that by next month he would give Council a report on this.
Councilman Alevy stated that we would be looking at a number of things mid-year, and he felt we should look at
this then. It would give the manager time to look at comparable cities and their structure.
Councilman Padilla stated that this is not something which we have to decide at the moment, but something to
decide in the future especially if we have the same budget issues that we are looking at. He felt that if we are going
to have to tighten our belts really tight, which a lot of departments have been asked to do, then this goes all the way
to the top, including the Council. There was always room for restructuring, and we must be careful that we don't
become top heavy. We need to look at this issue.
Councilman Rindone felt the City Manager's request to come back next month with a report is most appropriate.
He would support that as a compromise. He works in an agency who has gone in this direction, and there have
been some real benefits.
Councilman Rindone asked about the comment on page 5-4, item C, No. 2 regarding 'roadside debris cleanup
revenue." It stated that this was predicated on an increase in Laidlaw rates which was postponed. He stated that
this is not what was done on Tuesday night. That was not approved; there is a big difference. We did not agree
not to raise the rates and just postpone it; we did not approve the rates. What we agreed to do is to review it in
January 1997.
Minutes
June 25, 1996

Councilman Rindone stated that one thing which was different was the swimming fees on page 5-5. The
recommended increase was inadvertently left out of the proposed revenue. What are we proposing to increase their
fees to specifically.
Budget Manager Herring stated that both of these represent increases to the current fee structure. The $7,200 was
for swimming fees originally approved by Council during the initial reviews, and we just missed that in the proposed
budget so we were adding that back in.
Councilman Rindone asked if there were Redevelopment Agency monies that could help the general fund. There
was an aggregate of $112 million in revenue versus $104 in expenses so there is a net improvement of $8 million.
He brought this up because it was a very encouraging turn around. He wanted to point out this change since he
had been so critical in the past. Since the $560,000 is such a big number for the insurance fund, the idea of paying
off some of the Otay Valley loans can help abate that potential.
Councilman Alevy asked if this budget with an operational deficit of under $50,000 included Parks and Recreation
being returned to its full complement with no cuts except for the Administrative Secretary position. And what about
the service in the Library.
Mr. Goss stated that there were some other recommendations regarding hourly employees that are in the budget that
have not been focused on both in Parks and Recreation and the Library. There will be some reductions in hourly.
Regarding the Library, this would restore the hours in the Library, however, both he and the Director would
recommend closing EastLake Library on Sundays which would save $12,700. To get from $97,000 to less than
$50,000, would be to delete the EastLake Library Sunday hours, close Norman Park Center on Saturday, adding
back the Crime Prevention Specialist for 6 months, the DBA, the Deputy City Clerk overtime, the Council Aides,
the $5,000 for Odawara visit, and $107,000 in revenues. This gives us, at this point, a technical deficit $47,000.
Councilman Alevy asked if perhaps we could get a $4,000 corporate donation to underwrite the orchestra in that
amount. He was concerned about closing that facility at any time.
Mr. Goss responded that since it was primarily for the orchestra, you could try to get a corporate donation, but why
don't we get them to practice at Loma Verde Center or at some other location. Also, with the rental structure
which Council has approved, then we could rent the facility on Saturday afternoons.
Councilman Alevy stated he could see where the Manager was going on this. Perhaps the Manager could come
back with a report on the progress of this. He was concerned about the orchestra being able to continue. He
wanted to know if we had found a good sol. ution for them instead of just shutting the door on them.
Councilman Moot stated that the issue for them is storage space for their instruments. At least, that was the concern
which was expressed to him. Where they stored their instruments was very close to Norman Park Center.
Councilman Alevy stated that we charge $34.00 per year for those who want to have the City Council agenda sent
to them on a weekly basis. The City of National City gets $125 per year for their agendas. This was a big
difference. He would like to get a report back on this.
Budget Manager Herring stated, as a point of clarification, that there were no other cuts in Parks and Recreation.
There were, however, three other cuts that are referred to and described which have not been recommended for
Minutes
June 25, 1996
Page 11
adding back into the budget. Those are: flexible hours in Recreation Centers, $4,500 cut in the theater program,
and reduction in the therapeutics program.
Councilman Rindone stated that we still have two full time positions in question of a layoff. What is the net cost
for the remaining two. His intent was that these people could be placed elsewhere -- for example, the Bookstore
Manager does not have to remain a bookstore manager but to place them somewhere with salaries equivalent to their
current positions.
Mr Goss stated that the Senior Management position would entail a cost of $66,000 per year including benefits.
He did not know what the Bookstore Manager made.
Mr. Thomson stated that the Bookstore Manager is not in a normal series which does not have normal 'bumping"
rights. He was concerned about mixed messages to the Bayfront Conservancy Trust. Since the City and
Redevelopment Agency have loaned the Nature Center and the BCT millions of dollars, they have taken it to heart
the need to be fiscally responsible. They think this makes sense that they can reduce the amount of money that the
City and Redevelopment Agency have to loan to the BCT. At this point, they would be surprised if Council
changed the direction on this issue, and he recommended that Council not do so.
MS {Rindone/Alevy) for adoption of the budget as proposed by staff with the amendments made and with
the direction that there be no layoffs of full-time positions and that the two remaining positions be reassigned
as best determined by the City Manager's office. Motion approved 4-1 (Moot, no)

City's involvement in a Vendors' Fair. There has been a proposal by the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce to
establish a Vendors' Fair to allow public agencies and businesses opportunity to know who is available for what
services in this community; particularly, small businessmen.
· Rod Davis, 233 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, 91910, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce.
A Vendors' Fair would be an excellent opportunity to bring more business to the business community and put more
money into the City's coffers through the sales tax. This Fair would allow people; who would like to bid on city,
school district, or water district business; an opportunity to meet the Purchasing Agents. Then when the need came
up in the bidding process, the Purchasing Agents for all these organizations would have a list of all Chula Vista
vendors. We are not asking for any preference in the bidding, just the opportunity to make sure that everyone in
Chula Vista who can provide those items will get an opportunity to bid.

Minutes
This memo is to let Council know that since Vicki's departure, we have been extremely busy.
There is no way that Carla and I can keep up, even with a temporary employee. This is
especially true in trying to keep up with the minutes which was one of Vicki's primary duties
as Deputy.
In case some of you were not aware, Vicki had a home computer and an empty house during
the day so she telecommuted on Wednesdays in order to work on the minutes without
interruptions. Often she started before 7 a.m. and worked past 10 p.m. just so she could get
them on the next agenda. Although I told her many times it was not necessary to work that
long, it was a personal goal of Vicki's to get them done regardless of how long it took.
I know we all enjoyed Vicki's quick turn around time and the detail which she put into the
minutes. However, current staff cannot continue this time frame with such detailed minutes.
In looking at minutes that were taken before Vicki's tenure with Chula Vista, none of them
contained such details.
Since the new Deputy will be hourly and not mid-management, overtime was not included in the
Clerk's budget for transcribing minutes. What was budgeted was overtime for attendance at the
Council meetings and time for assembling council agendas on Thursdays. Therefore, it is not
my intent to continue the tradition which Vicki established. I know that neither Carla nor I have
the time during office hours to devote this same amount of time to transcribing Council minutes.
As far as telecommuting goes, I do have a home computer and an empty house, but Carla does
not. However, I have other responsibilities and do not feel that I can take a full day each week
away from the office just to do minutes. It is also possible that the new Deputy may not be able
to telecommute either.
Therefore, this is to let Council know that starting immediately I will be scaling the minutes
back, but I want to also reassure Council that audio tapes of the meetings will be available and
are kept for a period of five years. If Council has a problem with this decision, let me know.

OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The original Bike. Routes Element of Ihe general plan was adopted in 1975. At that time, the
following objectives and policies were established by the City of Chula Vista to provide for the safe,
convenient use of bicycles throughout the community for both recreational use, and as a good
alternalive to the automobile as a form of local transportation:
Objectives
To preserve, restore or provide the opportunity for a bicyclist to ride a bicycle to
virtually any chosen destination, thereby making the bicycle a viable transportation
alternative.
2. To provide a system of bicycle routes affording the bicyclist the maximum possible
safety.
3. To provide related facilities and services necessary to permit the bicycle to assume a
significant role as a form of local transportation.
4. To foster the development of a system of interconnecting bikeways throughout the
county and region.
Policies
1. Locate bikeways along designated scenic roadways wherever poasible.
2. Connect cultural facilities, recreation areas, educational facilities, major employment
centers, commercial areas, parks, and open space areas by bikeways.
3. Encourage the provision of parking areas for bicycles at all cultural facilities, recreation
areas, educational facilities, major employment centers and commercial areas.
4. Separate bicycles and automobiles whenever it is physically possible to do so.
5. Locate bikeways so that they blend with the community and give the rider a sense of
spaciousness and a visually pleasing experience.
6. Design bicycle facilities as an integrated part of all subdivisions and planned residential
developments.
Z In planning any development, circulation plan, or street improvement give consideration to
the bicycle as a potential part of the traffic mix, whalher or not the street includes a
designated bikeway.

8. Encourage commuter and recreational bicycling as a means to reduce air pollutionand
traffic congestion.
9~ Encourage the provision of space (a pO~i~l *~f the vehic!=) on p~blic transportation '
systems for carrying recreation and commuter bicycles.
10. Utilize public property, such as flood control channels, parks, and open spaces wherever
possible for construction of bicycle paths.
The objectives and policies outlined above were considered in the development of the new
bikeway plan presented in this report.
EXISTING BIKEWAY FACILITIES
Several bicycle facilities have been established in Chula Vista since the development of the
original Bike Routes Element. The existing General Plan Bicycle Facilities Program is shown in Figure
1-2, Figure 1-2 distinguishes current bikeways from future bikeways. The General Plan does not
currently specify the type of bikeway facility to be constructed in each proposed corridor. One of the
objectives of this study is to establish what type of facility should be implemented in each corridor.
SAN DIEGO REGIONAL BIKEWAY MAP
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has established a system of
regional bikeways in the San Diego metropolitan area. This bikeway system is intended to serve
regional long-distance travel needs in addition to providing for local travel. The designated SANDAG
regional bikeway corridors in the City of Chula Vista planning area are shown in Figure 1-3.
One of the objectives of this study is to review the proposed SANDAG bikeway network
within the planning area of the City of Chula Vista, and to make recommendations as to how the
plan may be updated. This subject is addressed in the next chapter.

7. In planning any development, circulation plan, or street improvement give consideration to
the bicycle as a potential part of the traffic mix, whether or not the street includes a
designated bikeway.

Encourage commuter and recreational bicycling as a means to reduce air pollution and
traffic congestion.
Encourage the provision of space (a portion of the vehic!~) on public transportation
systems for carrying recreation and commuter bicycles.
Utilize public property, such as flood control channels, parks, and open spaces wherever
possible for construction of bicycle paths.
The objectives and policies outlined above were considered in the development of the new
bikeway plan presented in this report.
EXISTING BIKEWAY FACILITIES
Several bicycle facilities have been established in Chuta Vista since the development of the
original Bike Routes Element. The existing General Plan Bicycle Facilities Program is shown in Figure
1-2. Rgura 1-2 distinguishes current bikeways from future bikeways. The General Plan does not
currently specify the type of bikeway facility to be constructed in each proposed corridor. One of the
objectives of this study is to establish what type of facility should be implemented in each corridor.
SAN DIEGO REGIONAL BIKEWAY MAP
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has established a system of
regional bikeways in the San Diego metropolitan area. This bikeway system is intended to serve
regional long-distance travel needs in addition to providing for local travel. The designated SANDAG
regional bikeway corridors in the City of Chula Vista planning area are shown in Figure 1-3.
One of the objectives of this study is to review the proposed SANDAG bikeway network
within the planning area of the City of Chula Vista, and to make recommendations as to how the
plan may be updated. This subject is addressed in the next chapter,

ANNUAL APPROVAL OF A BUDGET AND
RELATED CONTRACf 230-01 07-01-95 20F2
ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 17843 I DATED: 03-21-95
If the annual T.O.T. revenue is more than $1.5 million and less than $2.5 million, the
proposed Visitors and Convention Promotion Budget would be $150,000 plus an amount
equivalent to 5% of the T.O.T. revenue in excess of $1.5 million. This guideline would thus
result in a maximum proposed annual Visitors and Convention Promotion Budget of
$200,000.
- If the annual T.O.T. revenue exceeds $2.5 million, the proposed Visitors and Convention
Promotion Budget would be $200,000. The City would then review this Council Policy,
including discussing it with the Chamber of Commerce and the ChuIa Vista Motel
Association, to determine whether the policy should be revised to provide any additional
guidelines for proposed Visitors and Convention Promotion funding beyond the $200,000 I
maximum proposed annual amount provided in this policy. ~.
4. The Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce and the Chula Vista Motel Association are forming a Chula
Vista Visitors and Convention Bureau, and representatives of those agencies and the City will be
involved in formulating a proposed Visitors and Convention Promotion Budget to be considered by
the City Council each fiscal year. It is anticipated that some projects included in the Visitors and
Convention Promotion Budget will continue to be administered by the City or be for services for
which the City has previously contracted with the Chamber of Commerce. It is also anticipated that
a significant portion (probably the majority) of the Visitors and Convention Promotion Budget will be
for specified services for which the City will execute an annual one-year contract with the Chamber
of Commerce, on behalf of the Visitors and Convention Bureau. The Chamber will provide quarterly
reports to the City to be specified in the annual contract, including appropriate accounting data.
S. This policy shall be set for review approximately five years after its adoption date. That review
should include, but not be limited to, the appropriateness of continuing to eStablish VISitors and
Convention Promotion budgets in relationship to the amount of T.O.T. revenue collected, the
guidelines for such relationships, and the appropriateness of the Chamber of Commerce continuing to
act as the contracting arm of the Visitors and Convention Bureau compared to other organizational
arrangements such as the eStablishment of a stand.alone Visitors and Convention Bureau.
