PRESENTATION BY CHUCK COLE OF ADVOCATION, INC. OF A REVIEW OF THE 2003 STATE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, AND A PREVIEW OF LIKELY ISSUES FOR THE UPCOMING SESSION IN 2004 Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator Kelly introduced Chuck Cole, who reported on the 2003 state legislative session and gave a preview of likely issues for the upcoming 2004 session. He explained that the recently adopted state budget assumed the full vehicle license fee (VLF) being paid by vehicle owners; redevelopment agencies being forced to contribute funds; the state's Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) contribution being made by selling $2 billion in bonds; the state's $10.7 billion structural shortfall being covered with a fIVe-year bond sale, with the bonds to be paid using the "triple flip;" by taking a portion of local government sales tax and dedicating it to the bond repayment; by giving local government more property tax to offset the loss of sales tax; and by backfilling schools with the excess Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) property tax that the state has taken from cities. Mr. Cole explained that the Governor is asking the Legislature to place a $15 billion bond sale on the ballot for voter approval, which would cover the PERS contribution, the $10.7 billion, and a portion of the city VLF backfill. In order to obtain voter approval, the Governor would couple it with a spending cap that increases the Governor's authority on spending cuts in mid-year. In addition, the Governor has recommended $2 billion in cuts for this fiscal year that includes a 10% cut to MediCal providers; a cap on MediCal enrollments and factoring the value of the family vehicle into eligibility criteria; a five percent welfare cut; and cuts in care for the elderly as well as in higher education. Mr. Cole reported on pending litigation and likely issues at the state level. Mr. Cole was asked by the Council to provide an update to the Council as soon as possible after the release of the Governor's January 10, 2004 budget. SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY (Continued) .

Page 5 - Council Minutes 11125/03 BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 12. CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE TRANSFER OF TWO PROPERTIES FROM THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT TO THE AlRPORT AUTHORITY The Port of San Diego has requested that the City oppose the transfer of two parcels of land within its jurisdiction to the Airport Authority, which would result in a loss of revenue to the Port. (Chula Vista Port Commissioner) Port Commissioner Compton explained that the Port District currently leases the airport land to the airport for one dollar per year. The Port estimates that the General Dynamics' property is worth at least $8.7 million, and there is a 66-year lease on the property. If parking facilities could be constructed immediately on the Teledyne Ryan property, the Port estimates an annual income of approximately $2 million from that site. If the two properties were transferred to the Airport Authority, Chula Vista would lose approximately $13.1 million in revenue, and the Port would be unable to uphold its commitment to the Port member cities for future development and improvements. Commissioner Compton urged the Council to adopt the resolution opposing the transfer of the two properties from the Port to the Airport Authority. Port Chairperson VanDeventer stated that an agreement made between parties should not be changed. He also commented that the Port made an obligation to Chula Vista, as well as the other member cities, to provide needed improvements, and the member cities are entitled to those improvements. Port District Executive Director Hollinsworth explained that the elements of fairness and making both agencies economically sound were considered at the time the split of the airport from the Port was being considered. An agreement was reached between the two agencies whereby, in order to assist in making the Port whole, land that was historically a part of the Port would be retained, namely the General Dynamics and Teledyne Ryan properties, both of which have never been a part of the airport revenue stream. The Airport Authority then passed a motion to ndicate that it needed the General Dynamics and Teledyne Ryan properties transferred for purposes of planning and airport use; there was no mention of paying lease value or compensation to the Port. Mr. Hollinsworth believed that the issue was about balance. Most airports, including Lindbergh Field, pass on operating costs through rates and charges to the airlines, which is absorbed through the market process. A five-year, 500 billion dollar master plan was developed for Lindbergh Field that included terminal and taxiway expansions, and the financing plan showed that those improvements could be made without the Teledyne Ryan and General Dynamics properties. He believed that the better use of funding would be on non-airport projects, namely on the Chula Vista bayfront, in Coronado and Imperial Beach, and for the downtown cruise ship terminal. Mr. Hollinsworth stated that should the Port lose the funding, it would lose the opportunity to assist with development in member cities and the ability to fund environmental issues and provide security on the bay. He asked the Council to support the proposed resolution because it would be in the best interests of the community and the region to do so. Deputy Mayor Rindone emphasized the disproportional amount of development that has occurred in other areas within the Port District's jurisdiction rather than in the South Bay. Page 6 - Council Minutes 11125/03 BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (Continued) Councilmember Salas said that from discussions with members of the Airport Authority, she was of the understanding that the Port's plans for the properties would hamper the Airport Authority's development of the airport to its best use. Mr. Hollinsworth replied that in the master plan approved at the time of the Port District/airport split, the north terminal was to be built on the General Dynamics site, and land was to be acquired from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot to allow for a north taxiway extension, with the intention of alleviating traffic on Harbor Drive and aiding in the operational capacity of the airport. The airport has land use planning and control over the General Dynamics property. The Teledyne Ryan site is currently in litigation, and the tenant has vacated the property. The Port offered the use of the Teledyne site to the Airport Authority on several occasions but was told that the Authority has no current need for the property. Mr. Hollinsworth believed that the issue was about money rather than land use planning and control. Breton Lobner, General Counsel for the Airport Authority, stated that, with reference to a deal made between the Port and Airport Authority, at the time that the meetings took place in December 2002, the party representing the Airport Authority worked for Mr. Hollinsworth. The legislation that split the airport from the Port was supported by the Governor, Senator Steve Peace, and the Port, and the Airport Authority did not have a say in how the lease would be in 66 years. Regarding the General Dynamics property, he stated that over the last few years, the site has been utilized for airport parking. With reference to the Teledyne Ryan site, the Airport Authority rents a portion of the property for employee parking. Because both the General Dynamics and Teledyne Ryan sites are state lands, he did not feel that the Airport Authority should be paying the Port. He also stated that both sites will be needed for taxiway expansions and employee parking. He suggested that the Council postpone any action in order to learn more about the issue. Councilmember Davis stated that she had asked for but not received a copy of the San Diego Regional Airport Authority's budget. Mr. Lobner replied that he would send a copy to City Hall. Mayor Padilla stated that the Airport Authority does not need to amend the separation lease agreement since the local coastal plan amendment can proceed, the land use planning authority is in place, and the Authority has the ability to proceed with an airport expansion/reconfiguration plan without changing the agreement. He asked if the Airport Authority currently has an adopted plan for Lindbergh Field. Mr. Lobner replied that the Airport Authority is in the process of adopting a master plan. Mayor Padilla stated that Chula Vista is one of the five Port cities, has been an integral part of the Port since its inception, and is the seventh fastest growing city in the United States. He asked why the Mayor, Council and/or City staff were not informed of the issues before the Authority took steps to initiate contact with the State Lands Commission and to instigate lobbying efforts in Sacramento for legislation to address the issues. Mr. Lobner responded that he had submitted a letter to Counsel for the Port requesting information on the matter but had received no response. The Airport Authority believed that the Port was intent upon proceeding with the parking lot that would create a loss to the airport of approximately $7 million and that would, in all likelihood, shut down the General Dynamics parking lot. Mayor Padilla asked why it was necessary for the Airport Authority to amend the separation agreement now, since it has significant financial impacts and an expansion plan for Lindbergh Field has not yet been adopted. Mr. Lobner responded that he had asked the Port Board to continue consideration of the parking lot proposal, since the issue had gone to the State Land Commission, and had sent a standstill agreement to the Port requesting that bonds not be issued, but again received no response from the Port. He added that the property is needed for airport purposes that were part of the master plan. Page 7 - Council Minutes 11/25/03 BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (Continued) Deputy Mayor Rindone expressed the importance of open dialogue and communication between agencies and agreed with Mayor Padilla that the City should have been offered the opportunity to discuss the issues. He also objected to the waste of taxpayer dollars from litigation between two public agencies. Councilmember Davis stated that South County has been waiting for funding from the Port to improve the City's bayfront, and she expressed concern that the loss of revenue to the Port would jeopardize that. Mr. Lobner explained that the result of the Port's decision to make the Teledyne Ryan property into an airport public parking lot would be a 10% cut in revenue for the Airport Authority. He asked the Council for support by including in a motion the fact that the Port should get out of the airport business. Councilmember Salas believed that providing a parking lot to serve a regional need would not interfere with the Airport Authority. Mr. Lobner responded that it was not right for the Port to have the ability to build a parking structure that abuts the airport. Councilmember McCann stated that Chula Vista has been underwriting transportation, energy, affordable housing, and numerous other programs for the region for decades. Funding for the City from the Port would mean accessibility to the bayfront, which would create job opportunities and recreational areas and do a tremendous amount to raise the image of the City. He encouraged members of the Airport Authority to find out what the City offers to its community. ACTION: Councilmember Davis offered Resolution No. 2003-481, heading read, text waived: RESOLUTION NO. 2003-481, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA OPPOSING THE TRANSFER OF TWO PROPERTIES FROM THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT TO THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY The motion carried 5-0. Mayor Padilla encouraged the City's Legislative Advocate, Chuck Cole, to pay close attention to this issue, and to all potentially relevant actions sought by the Airport Authority, in order to ensure that the City has a strategy to take care of business, should that become necessary. ACTION ITEM 13. CONSIDERATION OF 1) ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING COUNCIL POLICY REGARDING ORGANIZATION AND PROCEDURES ON LEGISLATIVE MATTERS AFFECTING THE CITY, AND 2) ADOPTION OF THE 2004 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM Page 8 - Council Minutes 11/25/03 ACTION ITEM (Continued) The proposed revisions to Council Policy 300-01 ensure greater involvement by the City Council in determining those measures on which the Council chooses to take a position. The proposed legislative program represents the Council's position on items likely to be acted upon by the State Legislature, Congress, or administrative agencies. By adopting a legislative program at the beginning of each two-year legislative session and amending it at mid-term, Chula Vista is able to take a proactive role in sponsoring, supporting, or opposing bills related to the City's various legislative priorities. (Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator) Councilmember Davis spoke with reference to page 13-23, J.2.e. of the agenda report regarding binding arbitration, stating that she wished to register a non-consent on that particular item. Mayor Padilla requested confirmation by Assistant City Attorney Marshall that the nomination and election of a committee membership would need to be set for a future Council agenda. Ms. Marshall responded affirmatively. ACTION: Councilmember Salas offered Resolution Nos. 2003-482 and 2003-483, headings read, texts waived: RESOLUTION NO. 2003-482, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING COUNCIL POLICY 300-01 REGARDING ORGANIZATION AND PROCEDURES ON LEGISLATIVE MATTERS AFFECTING THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA RESOLUTION NO. 2003-483, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADOPTING THE 2004 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM The motion carried 5-0, with Councilmember Davis registering a non-consent on item J.2.e. regarding binding arbitration, as listed in the resolution.
