Re: Resignation from Resource Conservation Commission
Mayor Horton,
I would like to thank you for my recent appointment to the Safety
Commission. I have enjoyed my first few months on that Commission
and enthusiastically look forward to serving our wonderful community in
the years ahead.
In reviewing my CUITent work and personal schedule, I have determined
that I need to make a couple of changes to support all of my other
commitments. I am requesting that you accept my resignation as a
member of the Resource ConseIVation Commission. I have advised the
CUITent commissioners, and Mr. Doug Reid, EnVironmental Review
Coordinator, of my intentions. I appreciate the opportunity to have
worked on several crucial projects over the past year and would like to
thank each RCC Commissioner for their guidance and contributions to
the process.
Mayor Horton, thanks to you and the City Council, our wonderful city
has so many positive accomplishments and is no longer a sleepy little
city near a place called San Diego. I am excited for the future and want
to be a part of it. Remember, you can always count on me if I can
provide support or assistance.
Sincerely,
~I~

ITEM TITLE: Resolution: /[š11J~ Approving and Authorizing the Mayor to
execute the Second Amendment to License for the Use of San Diego Gas
and Electric Property adjacent to Marina View ë:rk
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Parks, Recrea~ Open Spac
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~l:1 '() .../0 (4/5ths Vote: Yes - No XI
A "park-use" license, generated by San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E) for the City's
use of SDG&E property adjacent to Marina View Park, was approved by the Council on March 1,
1988. A first amendment to extend the license by five years was approved in 1992, and expired
on December 31, 1997. SDG&E has submitted, for approval, a Second Amendment to License
which will extend the license for another five years, to expire on December 31, 2002.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize the Mayor to execute the Second
Amendment and extend the license with SDG&E for property adjacent to Marina View Park until
December 31, 2002.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION: In 1988, the City and SDG&E negotiated a license agreement for the expansion of
Marina View Park easterly to Bay Boulevard to enhance the entrance to the Marina area along
West "J" Street and Bay Boulevard. This work has been completed.
The initial license term was for five (5) years, with an option to extend for an additional five (5)
years, which was approved by the Council. The license agreement requires the City to pay $10
for annual rent, plus the annual Board of Equalization levy against the property of approximately
$510 a year. Annual maintenance cost is minimal. The Second Amendment will extend the license
until December 31,2002.
This property does not overlap with the property being sold to the Port District.
FISCAL IMPACT: Annual cost to the City, in addition to normal maintenance; is approximately
$520, with possible minor adjustment each year by the Board of Equalization.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 9
Meeting Date 2/24/98
ITEM TITLE: Resolution /2"9ó 7 Approving the submittal to SANDAG of two
applications for the FY 1998-99 2% Non-Motorized Transportation
D>=Iopm'", Act (TDA) 7r'_ti~ s,,~ T~ (T=N") Fmuk
SUBMITTED BY: 1);="" of,,"bH, W",," ~
REVIEWED BY: CitYManage~~ ~ ~ (4/5thsVote: Yes_NoX)
The City of Chula Vista annually submits an updated list of projects for inclusion in the 7 -year
implementation program of the non-motorized element of the Regional Transportation Improvement
Program. SANDAG regulations require that official applications be submitted to SANDAG in order
for projects to be considered by its Board of Directors for funding. In order for the application to
be official, Council must approve a resolution authorizing submittal of the FY 1998-99 Bicycle
Project applications for available Transportation Development Act (TDA) and Transportation Sales
Tax (TransNet) Funds. Both funding sources form a single fund with annual allocations totaling
$2.3 million for the San Diego region. Projects are chosen and then approved for funding after the
applications have been evaluated by SANDAG's Bicycle Facilities Committee.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve a resolution authorizing the submittal of the
following two applications for the FY 1998-992% Non-Motorized Transportation Development Act
(TDA) and Transportation Sales Tax (TransNet) Funds: (1) East H Street Bikeway Facility Study;
and, (2) The construction of a bicycle path on the south side of the SR-54 corridor, from Press Lane
to Second Avenue.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Annually, the 2% Non-Motorized Transportation Development Act (TDA) Funds are made available
for the regional planning and construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. TDA funds will
contribute about $1.3 million in FY 1998-99 to the implementation of non-motorized projects in the
San Diego region. Also, with the passage of Proposition A in 1987, an additional $1 million of
TransNet revenues per year is available for the implementation of said projects that are submitted
annually by the Cities and the County. The following is a description of the project applications that
we propose to submit to SANDAG for FY 1998-99 funding:
1) CO1Jstruct biCYcle oath alone the south side of State Route 54. within the CAL TRANS
right-or-way. between Press Lane and Second Avenue( Sweetwater bikeway), The scope
of work for the project has been reduced from last year's submittal (Resolution 18584) to
take advantage of the existing traffic light at Brisbane Street. The purpose of the path is to
9-/
Page 2, Item-
Meeting Date 2/24/98
provide better access to the entrance of the Sweetwater River Bikeway (SWB) at Second
Avenue and the north side of the flood charmel (see Exhibits "A" & "B"). Currently, riders
must use Second Avenue, a steep, narrow and winding road, to reach the SWB or ride
through National City via 33n1 Street to the westerly tenninus of the SWB. This project will
reduce the number of riders on this portion of Second Avenue and would encourage bicycle
use. Many destinations, like Plaza Bonita, Bonita, and the Town and Country Shopping
Center, can be reached easily ITom Chula Vista via this route. In addition, destinations in
Central Chura Vista such as the new Channelside Shopping Center (Walmart) will be more
accessible by bicycle ITom Bonita, eastern National City and Paradise Hills. Soon, the
westerly end of the SWB will be connected to the Bayshore Bikeway making even more
connections as well as recreational routes available.
2) East H Street bikewav facilitY study. This project will study the feasibility of the
installation of bikeways along East H Street from Buena Vista to Otay Lakes Road. This
segment of East H Street is the only segment east ofI-805 without bike lanes. There are
high traffic volumes and speeds which are unsafe for bicyclists. There have been several
accidents involving bicyclists along this segment. The segment serves Southwestern
Community College, Bonita Vista High school, two shopping centers and several bus
routes that tenninate at the H Street Trolley Station. The study will perfonn a cost benefit
analysis of various alternatives to recommend the optimal improvements for the area. The
study will involve completion of prelimin~ engineering plans and cost estimates. A
number of alternatives will be examined such as the possibility of shifting the median in the
southerly direction and/or widening the street.
The total cost of the projects are estimated to be $176,000 and $25,000, respectively. SANDAG has
already allocated the City $41,000 of the total $176,000 for design of the Sweetwater bikeway
project. The grant requests as shown in the applications are the balance $135,000 for the Sweetwater
bikeway project and $25,000 for the East H Street bicycle study, and cover all items eligible under
the TDA program.
Project costs that are eligible for TDA funding include the removal of existing improvements,
grading work, installation of sidewalk and bike path, and pedestrian ramps. Eligible items also
include traffic control, protection and restoration of existing private improvements, required
drainage improvements, and contingencies covering design and inspection.
Projects submitted to SANDAG must meet at least the following criteria:
1. Projects must be included in an adopted regional plan.
2. If bikeway projects, they must follow the CAL TRANS bikeway standards.
3. Each project submitted must contain appropriate cross sections.
9~.2
--~---------~
Page 3, Item-
Meeting Date 2/24/98
Projects are also subject to prioritization criteria such as elimination of safety problem areas, service
to high use activity centers, connection to and continuity of longer routes.
The FY 1998/99 application will be reviewed by the Bicycle Facilities Committee which is
composed of representatives from each SANDAG member agency. Based on the Committee's
recommendations, the SANDAG Board of Directors will authorize allocation ofthe available TDA
and TransNet funds.
A copy of the application's package is located in the City Clerk's Office for Councils review.
FISCAL IMPACT: Potential total revenues to the City of $160,000. The actual amount is
dependent upon which of the projects is approved for funding by the SANDAG Board of Directors
and the amount that they approve. This resolution approves the submittal of the applications, and
does not fonnally approve the implementation of the projects. These projects will be submitted for
approval in the FY 1998-99 CIP.

Yes, this bike path will make a SAFE, level and convenient connection between
several local and regional routes, in and through Chula Vista and National City.
These bikeways include Fourth and Second Avenues and "C" Street in Chula Vista
and Sweetwater Road, Euclid Avenue and the Sweetwater River Bikeway in
National City.
Do Special Circumstances and Local Participation:
This bikeway will become a segment of Chula Vista's future Greenbelt bikeway and
immediately provides needed access to the Regional Sweetwater River Bikeway.
E. Comments:
The Sweetwater River Bikeway is an important regional route, especially for the
Cities of National City and Chula Vista, providing links to and between the future
Bayshore Bikeway and the Bonita Area. However, access from Chula Vista to this
important bicycle facility is limited. To get there you must use Second Avenue, as
described above or ride across the river into National City and go west, almost to
Interstate 5, to the bikeway's westerly terminus.
This bike path will encourage bike use, both commuter and recreational by
providing safe and convenient connection to activity centers.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

Meeting Date 2/24/98
ITEM TITLE: Report on status of planned improvements to the I-80S/Telegraph Canyon Road
--.. (
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Work~'
REVIEWED BY: City Manager J~" <./7 (4/Sths Vote: Yes - No.xJ
In February of 1996, staff initiated design efforts aimed at implementing the fmal phase of planned
improvements at the I-80S/Telegraph Canyon Road interchange. This project is the top priority
interchange improvement among those currently progranuned in the Eastern Area Development Impact Fee
Program. The primary objective of this project is to improve the flow of traffic along eastbound Telegraph
Canyon Road through the interchange, thereby complementing previous improvements made for westbound
travel. Community meetings were held on August 22, 1996, and January 29, 1998, at the Elks Lodge on
Telegraph Canyon Road to obtain input and reactions from residents in the area. The next steps in the
process are to complete the environmental process, finalize plans, specifications and estimates, and initiate
construction activities. Construction of the preferred alternative is expected to cost approximately $1
million, and is scheduled to be advertised in the early sununer.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept staff's report regarding the status of planned
improvements to the I-80S/Telegraph Canyon Road interchange and direct staff to finalize the design and
proceed with advertisement for construction.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this project is to improve the flow of traffic along eastbound Telegraph Canyon Road
through the interchange at I-80S. The project is needed because of a combination of capacity problems
and safety concerns that exist at the intersection. These problems, shown on Exhibit A, are described as
follows:
A. There is only one through lane for eastbound traffic at the interchange.
B. Eastbound traffic in the inside through lane is "trapped" into the left turn pocket.
C. The proximity of the traffic signals along Telegraph Canyon Road at Halecrest Drive and the
northbound ramps results in inefficient operations and reduced service levels.
D. Vehicles turning left into Halecrest Drive queue up into the intersection of Telegraph Canyon Road
and the northbound ramps because of the limited stacking distance.
E. Vehicles turning right from the northbound off-ramp attempting to access the left turn pocket to
Halecrest Drive often create a safety hazard by cutting across eastbound through traffic.
While Telegraph Canyon Road is a city street, it should be noted that this segment is within the limits of
Caltrans' freeway and the City can only do improvements which are approved by Caltrans. In addition,
/¿7~ I
Page 2, Item-
Meeting Date 2/24/98
Caltrans can require additional improvements as a condition of issuing the necessary permits to perform
work within the area. One additional problem which Caltrans has identified is also shown on Exhibit A.
This problem, which is not on Telegraph Canyon Road itself, is the lack of stacking capacity on the
northbound freeway off-ramp.
A series of options was developed to address each of the above capacity problems and safety concerns.
These options were presented at an initial community meeting on August 22, 1996, and to the City Council
on October 10, 1996. Based on input received at the first community meeting, City staff developed a
proposed alternative which appears to meet the communities needs, and is acceptable to Caltrans. This
alternative includes the following improvements (Exhibits B-D):
1. Widen eastbound Telegraph Canyon Road to provide an additional eastbound through lane at the
interchange.
2. Reconfigure eastbound Telegraph Canyon Road to eliminate the trap lane.
3. Add a partial raised median on Telegraph Canyon Road opposite the Halecrest Drive to prohibit
left turns out of Halecrest. Left turns will still be allowed into Halecrest and motorists exiting the
freeway on the northbound off-ramp will also be able to safely access Halecrest.
4. Signalize the existing access to the adjacent shopping center located midway between Halecrest and
Crest.
S. Widen the northbound off-ramp to provide three lanes onto Telegraph Canyon Road. Two of the
lanes will be for right turns and the center lane will be used for access to the turn pocket into
Halecrest.
6. Prohibit left turns out of Halecrest onto eastbound Telegraph Canyon Road by constructing a
partial median with turn pocket which still allows eastbound left turning movements onto Halecrest.
Subsequent negotiations with Caltrans resulted in further modifications to the interchange. These
modifications include:
1. Add a second lane option exit lane off the southbound freeway. Currently only one exit lane exists
now and Caltrans' required the additional capacity at the beginning of the off-ramp. (See Exhibit
B).
2. Widen and realign the southbound to eastbound freeway off-ramp, and "square" the ramp terminus
with the City street. Currently, this off-ramp is a continuous loop ramp entering the street without
a stop into an exclusive eastbound through lane. This will allow for signalization at this location,
help eliminate merging conflicts on eastbound Telegraph Canyon Road and provide three
eastbound through lanes.
Due to the addition of work itemized above, the estimated cost of the work has increased from the
$1,950,000 in the current CIP budget to $2,350,000. However, city staff was also successful in negotiating
a $300,000 Minor Program contribution from Caltrans to help defray the costs of Caltrans' requested
modifications. In addition, Caltrans District Director Gary Gallegos has agreed to provide the services of
a Resident Engineer at State cost to oversee construction of the project. This will help reduce the City's
inspection costs. / ¿J --- ,;l..

Meeting Date 2/24/98
A second community meeting was held on January 29, 1998. Staff noticed all owners and residents a
minimum of 1000 feet from the project regarding the meeting. On the east side of I-80S north of Telegraph
Canyon Road, the notices were sent beyond the 1000 foot mark to include all homes south of "J" Street
and west of Crest and Lori Lane. That notice was sent to nearly 800 property owners and/or residents.
Approximately 15 residents attended the January 29 meeting, and for the most part, reactions to the
proposed alternative were positive. Residents appreciated the fact that proposed improvements were
responsive to concerns raised at the previous community forum, but some attendees continued to express
reservations about the prohibition of turns from southbound Halecrest to eastbound Telegraph Canyon
Road. Staff has spent a considerable amount of time looking at this situation, but could not find any way
of handling the traffic to Caltrans' satisfaction without prohibiting left turns out of Halecrest. The
elimination of that one move frees up a considerable amount of signal time for westbound traffic on
Telegraph Canyon Road and completely eliminates the additional red phase for eastbound traffic. This was
a critical item in being able to get adequate traffic capacity through the interchange to handle future traffic
volumes. It should be noted that Caltrans' original position was that the intersection should be closed to
¡\llieft turns, both in and out. However, they recognized the difficulties of trucks accessing the local
businesses and agreed to permit left turns from eastbound traffic to northbound Halecrest.
One of the requests of the residents, in response to the prohibition of left turn lanes out of Halecrest was
to request a stop sign on Crest Road at Douglas Street. Traffic needing to go east from this area would
now have to use Douglas Street to get to Crest Road, which is east of the shopping center, where they
could make the left turn onto Telegraph Canyon Road. Staff is reviewing the need for a stop sign at that
location and will take it to the Safety Commission. The review will probably not be completed until after
the construction at Halecrest is completed and traffic patterns have had a chance to stabilize.
The next steps for the process are summarized as follows:
1. Complete environmental process.
2. Complete preparation of final design plans and obtain approval and a permit from
Caltrans.
3. Entering into a cooperative agreement with Caltrans which covers their funding assistance
identified above and the resident engineer.
4. Advertise project for construction. The target date to advertise for bids is mid-June, 1998.
If that date is able to be met it is anticipated that construction could be complete by May
1999.
For both public meetings and the previous City Council meeting staff noticed all owners and residents a
minimum of 1000 feet from the project. For those meetings the notices were sent beyond the 1000 foot
distance to include all homes south of East" J" Street and west of Crest and Lori Lane on the east side of
I-80S. That amounted to nearly 800 property owners and/or residents. Notice of tonight's Council
consideration was sent to that same list.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funding for this overall project is split into three different accounts depending
on the phase of work. The three phases of work are: 1) project management, 2) project engineering and
design, and 3) construction.
For the first phase of the work, the City has hired the firm of Smith & Kempton to act as project mangers
and liaison with Caltrans for this and two other I-80S interchange projects (Orange Avenue and Palomar
Street). This phase of the project is funded in the operating budget under Account 6221-6212 from

Transportation Development Impact Fees (TDIF). An original contract and a subsequent amendment were
approved by the Council to complete the project management activities on these three interchanges and for
continuing transportation advocacy work to obtain funding for SR-12S and Orange Avenue.
The engineering work to complete the Project Study Reports (PSR) and the Project Reports (PR) on these
three interchanges per Caltrans' requirements and the subsequent contract plan and specification
preparation for the Telegraph Canyon Road and Orange Avenue interchanges is being accomplished by
Rick Engineering. This part of the project was also funded from TDIF funds in the CIP budget as Project
No. STM327 (I-80S Project Study Report(s)/Project Report). The total amount budgeted for all of this
phase of the work, including study work at the other two interchanges, is $550,000.
In addition, the current CIP budget includes Project STM-304 (I-80S/Telegraph Canyon Road Interchange
Improvement Phase II) to fund the construction of these improvements. That project currently totals
$1,950,000 in TDIF funds through the current fiscal year. The remaining $400,000 will be included in
the 1998/99 CIP budget. As previously noted, Caltrans has also agreed to provide up to $300,000 in
Minor Project funding to defray the cost of improvements at the interchange, and has further agreed to
provide the services of a Resident Engineer to oversee the project through the construction phase. The
remaining $100,000 will be TDIF funds.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item II
Meeting Date February 24. 1998
ITEM TITLE: Quarterly Fiscal Status Report for the Second Quarter of Fiscal
Year 1997-98
SUBMITTED BY: D;,&t" of F;",",o/~~
REVIEWED BY: C;ty M"""JG:l7'i ~ \ (4/5ths Vote: Yes _NolLl
In accordance with Charter Section 504(f), attached for your consideration is the fiscal
status report covering the first half of Fiscal Year 1997-98.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the report as submitted,
DISCUSSION:
Section 504(f) of the City Charter requires quarterly and annual fiscal status reports
to be filed by the Director of Finance through the City Manager. Attached for your
consideration is a report covering the period through December 31. 1997 for Fiscal
Year 1997-98.
The report concludes that as of the mid-point of this fiscal year, Revenues and
Transfer in are expected to exceed Expenditures and Transfers out by approximately
$422,000. However, when early third quarter supplemental appropriations related to
salary adjustments are factored in, the projection becomes negative with estimated
Expenditures and Transfers out exceeding estimated Revenues and Transfers in by
approximately $664,700, This projection is the overall net result of estimated revenue
shortfalls and mid-year budget increases, offset by estimated expenditure savings.
The City historically finishes each fiscal year with operational savings of between $1
and $3 million annually, and unless this year is drastically different from any recent
year, these as yet unidentified, but historically realized, expenditure savings would
offset the current negative projection,
The report reflects that although projections in major revenue categories, such as
Property Taxes, Sales Taxes, and Motor Vehicle License Fees are very positive and
exceed budget estimates by an aggregate of more than $900,000, there are projected
shortfalls in reimbursement revenues from grants, major developers, and other sources
j)-/ J
/)
Page 2. Item
Meeting Date February 24.1998
that result in overall projected revenues for the fiscal year being more than $1,1
million less than budget estimates, The shortfall in reimbursement revenues will be
partially offset by expenditure savings of $1.1 million due to delays in implementing
grant and reimbursement funded projects,
Finally, the report cautions that both the Police and Fire Departments are projecting
additional appropriation requirements due to excessive overtime, The need for either
appropriation transfers from other departments or additional appropriations from
reserves will be monitored closely and any necessary recommendations brought before
Council in a timely fashion.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact relative to accepting or rejecting the
report, since it is for information purposes only, The City General Fund began Fiscal
Year 1997-98 with an Available Fund Balance of $4.43 million and based on the
limited information available this early in the fiscal year, it appears that this amount
could decrease by up to $664,705 unless as yet unidentified, but historically realized,
expenditure savings occur,

COUNCIL INFORMATION
DATE: February 13, 1998
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: John D. Goss, City Manager
FROM: Robert W, Powell, Director of FinancePf
SUBJECT: QUARTERLY FISCAL STATUS REPORT
In accordance with section 504(f) of the City Charter, please find attached the following
summary schedules Fiscal Year 1997-98 through the second quarter ending December 31,
1997:
Schedule A ..... General Fund Budget Amendments
Schedule B ..... General Fund Revenues, Summary by Revenue Category
Schedule C ..... General Fund Revenues, Fiscal Year Projections Compared to Budget
Schedule D ..... General Fund Budget Status
Schedule E ...., Budget Transfers Approved by Administration
The following is a summary that compares the current General Fund budget, including any
amendments subsequent to original adoption, with the projections for the fiscal year. At this
point in the fiscal year, the projected figures are necessarily somewhat conservative for both
revenues and expenditures. In other words, when arriving at the projections, we will always
tend to underestimate revenues and overestimate expenditures at this time of year. When the
third quarter report is prepared, we will have a much better indication of what the actual
revenues and expenditures for the year will be.
The adopted budget included $637,723 more in estimated revenues and transfers-in than
appropriations. As of December 31,1997, Council had approved supplemental appropriations
totaling $170,999 more than estimated revenues. In summary, as of December 31, 1997 the
amended budget contemplated increasing reserves by $466,724, Refer to Schedule A for the
detail of the supplemental budget items to be funded from reserves,

The overall projection as of December 31, 1997 anticipates that the aggregate sources of
funds (revenues and transfers-in) will exceed the aggregate uses of funds (expenditures and
transfers-out) by approximately $421,779, thereby increasing Available Fund Balance by that
amount. (Included in this estimation is anticipated expenditure savings of $1,086,1 91,These
savings are included only because they were identified by departments specifically as an offset
to reimbursement revenue shortfalls included in this report,)
However, during the Third Quarter, which is not reflected in this report, $1,086,484 was
appropriated for salary adjustments. The City also typically realizes departmental expenditure
savings of $1-$3 million which are not yet included in this analysis, If these are as significant
as in past years and revenues come in at the level currently projected, optimistically, a
balanced budget is possible. If, however, as yet unidentified departmental savings do not
materialize at the levels of past years, the General Fund Balance would be reduced by
$664,705 as a result of FY98 operations. The Third Quarter Report will include refined
revenue estimates as well as comprehensive departmental expenditure savings estimates.
REVENUESITRANSFERS-IN
Actual revenues are projected to be less than budget estimates by approximately $1,131,137
or (1.7%). This negative variance is the result of numerous positive and negative variances
in various revenue accounts, The majority of the shortfall is attributed to negative variances
in reimbursements for development agreements and capital improvement projects and the
decision to retain franchise fees for cable television at the current levels. Offsetting these
negative variances are positive variances in major ongoing general revenues, specifically Sales
Tax Revenues and Property Tax Revenues, which are projected to exceed budget estimates
by approximately $600,000 or 4.5% and $212,000 or 2.5%, respectively. This is a positive
sign reflecting an overall improvement in the economy and continued development and growth
in all economic sectors. The explanations for all significant projected shortfalls are included
in the narrative following Schedule C.
EX PEN DITU RES/TRANSFE RS -0 UT
As mentioned previously, expenditures and transfers-out are projected to be less than budget
estimates by approximately $1,086,191, These savings are included only because they were
identified by departments specifically as an offset to reimbursement revenue shortfalls included
in this report. These expenditure savings are the result of delays in hiring staff in the
development and police departments which costs were to be offset by reimbursement
revenues. In order to ensure these projected savings are not expended for other purposes
administrative encumbrances will be placed on these budgets,
With two exceptions, all departments are projecting to be able to manage within their allotted
budget, The Fire and Police Departments have identified potential over expenditures in the
overtime area which at this time they believe they will not be able to cover within budgetary
savings and will require additional appropriations or transfers of savings from other
departments. The Fire Department is currently projecting to overspend their allotted budget
by $150,000-200,000 because excessive illnesses and vacancies have required them to use
j/- '/
3
more overtime than usual to meet minimum staffing requirements. The Police Department is
projecting to overspend their allotted budget by $24,000 due to required hard holiday overtime
pay being underbudgeted. These projected over expenditures are not reflected in the summary
since it is likely they would be offset by savings in other departments which are yet to be
identified, We will work with these departments to closely monitor the situation and, as
necessary, return to Council with recommendations for appropriation transfers from other
departments or additional appropriations from reserves, The Third Quarter Report will include
a comprehensive review of departmental expenditure savings estimates.

SUMMARY OF VARIANCE ANALYSIS
Fiscal Year 1997-98 as of December, 31,1997
REVENUES
Overall, actual revenues are projected to fall short of budget estimates by $1,131,137
primarily due to negative variances in police grant revenues and delays in signing major
development staffing agreements and the resultant delays in hiring staff, However this
variance will be offset by reduced expenditures in these areas which are estimated at
$1,086,191; resulting in a net negative variance of $44,946, The good news is the long
awaited improvement in the major general revenue categories, including property tax,
sales tax and motor vehicle license fees which are showing higher than anticipated
growth, This is discussed in detail below.
ProDerty Taxes - Projected revenue $8,824,000, variance $212,000, 2,5%
Chula Vista continues to experience a growth in it's property tax base. In Fiscal Year
97/98, it is anticipated that property tax revenues will be 5.8% greater than in Fiscal
Year 96/97.
Sales Taxes - Projected revenue $14,203,900, variance $600,000, 4,5%
Sales tax revenues are exceeding budgeted projections due to an overall improvement
in the economy and an expanding retail base. Sales taxes are projected at 7,1 %
greater than in the previous fiscal year.
Franchise Taxes Transient Occupancv Tax Utilitv Users Taxes Business License Tax
and Real ProDerty Transfer Tax - Projected revenue $7,627,890, variance ($180,000),
(2.3%)
Cox Cable franchise fees were not increased as anticipated in the adopted budget
resulting in a variance of ($300,000) or (11.6%) less than budgeted, Transient
Occupancy Taxes are projected to be $20,000 (1.4%) more than budgeted. Real
Property Transfer Tax is reflecting a variance of $100,000 or a 40% increase from
budgeted level.
Licenses & Permits - Projected revenue $2,051,900, variance $2,115, 0.1 %
Overall Licenses & Permits reflect both positive and negative variances from budget.
These accounts offset each other resulting in an overall small variance from budget.
Licenses & Permits revenue is anticipated to be 3,9% more than the previous fiscal
year, reflecting continued growth in development and building permit activities,
//---'j
Fines, Forfeitures & Penalties - Projected revenue $611,530, variance ($15,690),
(2.5%)
Overall, the accounts within this category reflect small variances, Further analysis will
be provided in the Third Quarter Report.
Revenue From Use of Monev & ProDerty - Projected revenue $1,118,724, variance
$134,417,13.7%.
As a result of a higher balance in the Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note Program,
investment earnings are projected to be $190,200 higher than budget estimates, The
lease of city-owned properties for cellular phone antennas was projected to generate
$30,000 in revenues during fiscal year 97/98. It appears these leases will not be
secured this fiscal year resulting in a projected variance of ($30,000),
Revenue From Other Agencies - Projected revenue $9,476,988, variance ($736,323),
(7.2%)
State Motor Vehicle License Fees are projected to exceed budgeted estimates by
$100,000. The majority of other revenues are projected to be close to budget estimates
with the exception of law enforcement grant reimbursements which are projected at a
variance of ($789,464). Since the vast majority of this reduction is due to the delay in
hiring staff and purchasing capital under these grants, this variance will be offset by
$751,602 in expenditure savings, resulting in a net variance of ($37,862). Port District
Reimbursements are projected at a variance of ($75,729) as a result of optimistic
budget estimates.
Charges for Current Services - Projected revenue $3,195,642, variance ($114,828),
(3.5%).
This variance consists of both negative and positive variances within several accounts.
The $110,170 positive variance in Development Related Services revenues reflect
higher than expected subdivision fees resulting from increased permit activity. Major
components of the negative variance in revenues for Other Charges are a $130,000
projected shortfall in entertainment facility contributions due to the delay in opening the
MCA Amphitheater until Summer of 1998 and a $32,000 shortfall from the termination
of the Imperial Beach Animal Shelter contract. The remainder of the shortfall is spread
over numerous accounts and is the result of optimistic budget estimates or decreased
demand for services in a variety of areas.
Other Revenues - Projected revenue $10,822,121, variance ($937,505), (8,7%)
This category includes several significant revenue accounts with negative and positive
/ / -)0
variances, Developer Fee Reimbursements are estimated at a variance of ($669,178)
due to delays in signing development staff agreements and slower than anticipated
progress on major development projects. These revenue losses should be, at a
minimum, offset by expenditure savings of $334,589 since the hiring of new staff
related to these development agreements was significantly delayed in the Planning,
Engineering, and Parks and Recreation Departments, The major contributor to the
negative variance in Other Reimbursement revenue is a projected shortfall of
($428,767) in the Capital Improvement Reimbursements account due to slower than
anticipated progress on various projects - only three projects have reached the bidding
phase this year as opposed to eleven last year, The remainder of the shortfall in this
category is due to numerous accounts having small negative variances due to actual
workload on various reimbursable programs being less than anticipated during the
budget process. The positive variance in other revenues reflects the $381,000 of
unbudgeted revenue that is anticipated to be realized this year for the sale of Marina
View Park.

ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing: PCC 98-11; Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a
small school emolling a maximum of 25 students with educational needs
and utilizing existing classroom/church facilities located at the northeast
comer of East "J" Street and Paseo del Rey (795 East "J" Street) , within

Resolution No. / 3"9~~SOIUtion of the City Council of the City of
Chula Vista Adopting a Negative Declaration IS 98-15 and Granting A
Conditional Use Permit, PCC 98-11, To Allow the Establishment of a
Small School For Students With Special Educational Needs Within Three
Classrooms of a Existing Church Facility Located at the Northeast Corner
of East "J" Street and Paseo Del Rey.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning ;l1t t.
REVIEWED BY: C;~ M="'.JG r$ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No...K.)
BACKGROUND:
The adoption of the Ranchero SPA plan in 1980 set forth specific land use regulations and
designations for property located within the SPA boundaries, Included in that property was a 9.66
acre lot located at the northeast comer of East" 1" Street and Paseo del Rey, which was designated
for church facilities (see attachment "3 "). Approximately 2.6 acres of the site closest to the
intersection are currently developed with a church and associated classrooms/office space. The
Evangelical Free Church currently occupies the site and church facility.
The applicant desires to lease out three existing classroom facilities to conduct a small school
(maximum 25 students) which is not related to the existing church. The focus of the school will
be to provide instruction for children with special educational needs. Because a school is
considered a public/quasi public use, it requires City Council approval of a Conditional Use
Permit.
An Initial Study, IS 98-15, of possible significant environmental impacts has been conducted by
the Environmental Review Coordinator. A finding of no significant impact has been made per
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt the resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit, along with the
Negative Declaration Issued for IS 98-15.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission considered this proposal on February 11, 1998 and voted 6-0 (one
abstention) to approve a resolution proposed by staff recommending that the City Council adopt
the Resolution approving the project, including adoption of Negative Declaration for IS 98-15.
DISCUSSION:
Site Characteristics
The project site consists of 9,63 acre parcel located at the northeast comer of East "1" Street and
Paseo del Rey. A portion of this parcel (approximately 2.6 acres) is currently developed with a
church and associated classrooms, The remaining portion is designated as an open space easement.
Land uses surrounding the existing church facility include undeveloped open space to the north,
existing single-family residential to the east and west and a preschool (La Petite Academy) to the
south.

The proposed school will be small in nature, It will start with approximately 8 students who have
been identified by the local school district as having special, non-violent educational needs. It is
anticipated that the school will eventually grow to a maximwn of 25 students and a maximum of
12 employees, These employees will consist of one campus director, three teachers, three
teachers-aides, one secretary, three counselor driving staff and one therapist.

Meeting Date: 2/24/98
ANALYSIS:
Land Use Com,patibility
Students attending the proposed Advocate School will be chosen by the Sweetwater Union High
School District based upon the presence of special educational needs. Students requiring this
special type of educational setting usually have a history of non-violent emotional problems which
has impaired their ability to learn at the pace of students attending regular public schools. These
are not students who have the history of violence or mental illness, nor do they require residential
placement or juvenile detention. It is the goal of Advocate School to work with the children
therapeutically so they may return to public school rather than attend continuation school or be
placed in a residential facility. The program is intense, designed to catch the student up if they are
behind their grade level academically and teach the children effective behavioral skills for their
return to public school. Children are supervised at all times.
The La Petite Academy (preschool) across the street has been contacted and has expressed no
concerns over the establishment of Advocate School at the proposed location. Residents of the
area have also been notified and have expressed no concern over the proposed use at this location.
There is a 20-40 ft high slope bank separating the church property from the existing residents to
the east.
Tenant Compatibility
The applicant proposes to utilize three existing classrooms during weekday hours when church
activities are not in session for a small school for students with special educational needs for up
to twenty-five students. Hours of operation will be 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday thru Friday for
students and 8 a.m, to 4 p.m, Monday thru Friday for staff, While other classrooms may be used
by certain groups or leased out to other groups during these hours, it is anticipated there will be
no uses which will be incompatible with or conflict with the operation of the Advocate School.
To further insure no conflict will occur between the school and any future outside (non-church
related) uses of adjacent classrooms, the church, as a condition of approval, will be required to
contact the Planning Department to discuss future tenants being considered for adjacent classroom
areas during hours of operation of the Advocate School.
~
All activities (including lunch) will take place within the existing classrooms. The one exception
will be P.E, (physical Education) activities which will utilize existing outdoor basketball courts
and other recreational amenities currently on-site,

school enrolling a maximum of 25 students with educational
needs and utilizing existing classroom/church facilities located
at the northeast corner of East J Street and Paseo del Rey (795
East J Street), within the PC Zone - Advocate Schools,
Background: Jeff Steichen, Assistant Planner, reported that the applicant, Advocate Schools,
filed an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a small school enrolling a maximum of 25
students with educational needs, utilizing three existing classrooms of the Evangelical Free
Church located at the northeast corner of East J Street and Paseo Del Rey. The school would
serve children with special, non-violent, educational needs,
/.2 -/0
Planning Commission Minutes - 2 - February 11, 1998
Land uses surrounding the existing church facility include undeveloped open space to the
north, existing single-family residential 10 the east and west, and a preschool (La Petite
Academy) to the south. Proper noticing was mailed to the surrounding area and no opposition
has been voiced thusfar,
Although the CUP is for a maximum of three classrooms serving 25 students, the applicant is
proposing to start out with one classroom, serving approximately eight (8) students who would
be selected by the Sweetwater Union High School District.
All activities, including lunch, will take place within the existing classrooms, except during
supervised physical education period, which would utilize the existing basketball court and
play areas.
Staff Recommendation: That the Planning Commission adopt the Negative Declaration issued
for IS-98-15 and adopt Resolution PCC-98-11 recommending that the City Council approve the
requested Conditional Use Permit for a small school enrolling a maximum of 25 students with
special educaiton needs at 795 East J Street.
Commission Discussion:
. Commissioner O'Neill asked if the applicant is a profit or non-profit entity.
Mr. Steichen responded that it is a private profit school that has been contracted by the
Sweetwater Union High School District who will be leasing the existing church
facilities.
. Commissioner Tarantino asked if these special needs included children with physical
challenges or if it is part of the alternative education program.
Mr, Steichen stated these children did not have physical challenges, but rather, learning
disabilities, He further stated that the school's objective is to help students reach their
academic grade level and then mainstream them back into the traditional school
setting.
. Commissioner Thomas asked if there was a time limit on this project. In addition, he
stated that while driving by the site, he noticed illegal signage and banners for
advertizing and asked if there was anything being done to correct this.
Ken Lee, Assistant Director of Planning, stated there was no time limit, and the
Commission would not review this again unless there is a change to the terms the
applicant is currently proposing, however, the Commission could set a review period
and staff can report back,
/2 ~/ /
Planning Commission Minutes - 3 - February 11, 1998
Mr. Lee stated he was aware of the sign violation at this site, as in many others
throughout the City, andb they are being handled by Code Enforcement. The applicant
has been made aware of the banner violation and the City will follow up with a letter
to that effect.
Public Hearing Opened at 7:18.
Douglas Whitmore, 555 Trailridge Drive, Bonita, CA 91902 addressed the Commission on
behalf of the church and stated they were not aware that the banners were in violation of the
sign ordinance and stated that their intent is to abide by the code and laws, Having said that,
Mr. Whitmore passed out a letter from the church, explaining the type of banners and the
purpose for which the church utilizes them. Mr. Whitmore further stated that there was no
involvement by the applicant, Advocate Schools, with the banners that have gone up.
Wanda Driscoll, CommunityResources Director for Advocate Schools, stated that Advocate
Schools has 22 school throughout Southern California and only go into an area when the
school district invites them because their exists a need that the school district cannot meet. At
the present time there are 400 students from the SUHSD who are home schooled because they
have been unsuccessful in the public school setting. Ms. Driscoll indicated that it appears that
the traditional school setting does not seem to meet the needs of students who require a more
individualized educational program, particularly those with learning disabilities. In addition,
if the parent feels that their child's needs are not being met by the public schools, according
to Federal law, they are allowed to seek other options.
Public Hearing Closed at 7:25,
Commissioner O'Neill stated he supported the school concept, however, he has concern with
a profit operation paying rent to a non-profit organization,
Ann Moore, Assistant City Attorney responded that it was not up to the City to make inquiry
on the non-profit agency renting out for profit to a profit agency, The non-profit agency would
need to have their attorney or their advisors discuss with them the implications that may be
involved with renting out for profit to a profit agency. The matter before the Planning
Commission is the land use for the CUP.
Commissioner O'Neill clarified that, in his opinion, their ability to rent out for profit to a profit
agency defeats their non-profit status and puts them in direct competition with a profit status
agency who is on the tax rolls
Chair Davis asked the Assistant City Attorney if, after having read the report and having heard
enough of the public testimony, she could vote on this item.
Assistant City Attorney responded that she would be able to vote on this item.
Commissioner Ray also asked the Assistant City Attorney if, after having read the report, but

OCEANSIDE - Local youTh

With a 4.1 vote Wednesday,
the City Council agreed to nego-
tiate a contract with Oceanside-

street sign,sized, vinyl advertis.
ing panels that will stick to the

The signs will bear the name

Signs of Support is owned by

The idea grew out of Missett's

Dear Council member Salas:
As you probably know, our association filed a lawsuit yesterday in federal
district court which charges that San Diego County's and the City of San Diego's
gasoline divorcement ordinance is unconstitutional and asks the court to overturn it.
We have taken this action because the supervisors adopted this ordinance while
ignoring the advice of their chief administrative officer and county counsel that this
ordinance wouldn't help reduce gasoline prices and could even make matters worse,
The effect of this ordinance will be hundreds of lost jobs, reduced competition
and possibly higher gasoline prices, We were left with no choice but to go to court,
Litigation was, literally, our last resort, Frankly, compliance with the San Diego
ordinance would require our companies to be out of compliance with long-standing
state and federal laws, so only the courts can resolve the matter.
We would be pleased to discuss these and other issues with you, The
precipitous and extraordinary action the County and City of San Diego have adopted
are a rush to judgement.

TO: Honorable Shirley Horton, Mayor
Distinguished City Council Members
FROM: Board of Directors, Chula Vista Police Officers Association
ISSUE: Expanding police powers of the private security force of
the MTDB.
Recent discussions by the Metropolitan Transit District Board regarding
expanding the police powers of their private security force should be of
grave concern to local government and the citizens of Chula Vista.
These untrained and unprepared citizens will be given police powers to
arrest for such offenses as drug possession, narcotics dealings, gambling
prostitution, etc.
The explanation given is to reduce the amount of time that fare
inspectors must wait for police to arrive to take enforcement action.
That plan is fatally flawed and goes against all manner of logic. Please
refer to the attached documents that explain in detail why this plan will
not only take more time from the inspectors normal duties, but in reality
cost a significant amount of money as well.

Political Action Committee
One can easily speculate with the lack luster efforts ofMTDB
management and it's private security forces in preventing and reporting
crime that this is just another attempt to hide those short comings by
removing the scrutiny and reporting of the local police.
Untrained, unprepared and unanned fare inspectors supported by a
civilian security force of similar deficiencies will simply endanger
themselves and the public that uses these fonDS of transportation.
Please tell the MTDB that the City of Chula Vista uses a professional
police force to enforce the laws and protect the citizens of this
community. Fare Inspectors and private security officers should confine
their duties to those activities that directly effect the operation of the
trolley like fare jumpers, loitering and keeping the trains and tracks in
safe working order.
Sincerely.

up several security officials âñ nour they take the riëcessary training to

to respond, Board Chairman Leon Williams,
Under the proposal, code-comp¡;~ bowever, played.down the change,
ance officers could write citations "The way I read it," Williams
for several serious crimes, such as said, "this would create a little bit
prostitution, selling drugs, posses- more efficiency, It does Dot lean in
sion of alcohol or drugs, gambling any way toward sworn officers."
There is a reason why there is a distinction between private security and
police officers. Security officers with their very limited training and job
skills are generally posted to protect specific parcels of property or to
enforce very specific codes that relate to their functions.
Police officers with their significant training and job skills are asked to
protect and police the public as a whole. They are called upon to use
those skills with the utmost discretion and fairness.
The recent decision by the Transportation Board flies in the face of
reason and public safety.
The decision to have unarmed, untrained private persons make arrests
for such crimes as prostitution, drug sales, garilbling, etc., not only
endangers the lives of the code enforcement officers but the public as
well.
The statement that these procedures will not increase the budget is so off
base as to be even ridiculous by government standards.
The following are a few questions that need to be answered by the
MIDB before embarking on a foolish and reckless course of action that
has far reaching implications for public safety.
Drug possession and sales:
Who will test the drugs in the field to insure that in fact that they are
illegal narcotics? The test kits cost money, something the Board didn't
consider.
How will the narcotics be stored? The law requires a chain of custody
and an evidence storage system that prevents tampering. Is the Board
going to invest in an evidence storage system with evidence personnel to
catalog and store the evidence according to the California Evidence
Code and case law? How is the evidence going to get to the crime
laboratory for analysis? This requires transportation and personnel, the
Sheriff does not have a delivery service like Pizza Hut. When it comes
time to go to court who is going to transport the narcotics to court? The
law does not permit private persons like the Trolley Security to posses
narcotics. Would you trust someone with two weeks of training to
transport illegal drugs and cash to court?
Cash is another unique situation. Often times with arrests for narcotics,
prostitution and gambling you have small or large quantities of cash. It
also must be stored with great caution and security.
Arrests:
There are numerous checks and balances on the police side to insure that
arrests have been made with probable cause and the proper amount of
force and report documentation.
Police Officers with months of training and years of experience must
present their arrests to the Police Watch Commander for approval. The
Watch Commander insures that probable cause has been met and that the
reports reflect what actually took place. In the event that force was
necessary to make the arrest, procedures and techniques are given
immediate attention and medical treatment is given the suspect.
Who is going to review the arrests of these civilians? Another civilian
with little or no more training than the person making the arrest? Is
anybody going to review them? Are you going to wait for court to find
out that the arrest was illegal or unlawful force was used to make the
-
arrest? This is a waste of taxpayer and court time if arrests cannot stand
up.
Who is going to process that paperwork with the courts? On most police
departments, the arrests are forwarded to investigations. Investigations
fills out a Juris form that is required by the District Attorney and the
Courts. In addition they must forward a copy of the persons arrest
history and any unserved warrants with the report package. Without
legal access to criminal history or warrant information, how do you
propose to get the information together for the District Attorney and the
Court?
Frequently the District Attorney's Office returns reports involving
arrests for follow-up. You have no detectives or police powers to
question private persons as may be required to have the report issued,
what are you going to do?
By storing reports with arrest information you are also going to have to
comply with the rules and regulations of the State Department of Justice
and the FBI for the storage and care of those records. Are you prepared
to hire the staff required to comply with the law and to insure the
security and integrity of the records?
The law also requires that any police agency making an arrest for a
misdemeanor or felony offense must fmgerprint and photograph the
suspect and forward those records to the Department of Justice and the
FBI. Are you prepared with the equipment and the personnel to
accomplish those tasks? Booking suspects at County Jail does not
comply with the provisions of the law.
The most significant issue is the one of safety. Police Officers with their
superior training and job skills are better equipped to deal with drug
dealers and other serious types of criminals. They have instant access
through communications to tell them if a subject is wanted, armed and
dangerous or a parolee wanted by the state. Your code enforcement
officers will not have access to that infonnation and ifthey did have
access, they are not allowed by law to have it. Only police officers, the
District Attorney and the Courts have the right to that type of
infonnation.
Serious criminal offenders are often times armed and wanted for other
crimes. How do you propose that a citation for an offense as serious as
dealing narcotics is going to deter future criminal activity on the trolley
or serve the public as a whole? Incarceration is what insures prevention
of future crimes and protects the trolley and the public :£Tom this type of
activity.
Exposing unarmed and untrained civilians to this level of enforcement is
simply dangerous and will surely result in injury or death to trolley
personnel or to an innocent passenger when one of these arrests goes
sideways.
The argument advanced was that this will save time over summoning the
police. If you have to take drugs or money into the station and process it
then log it into evidence, what time was saved? If suspects have to be
fingerprinted and photographed, what time is going to saved when the
inspector is tied up with these house keeping functions? How can it be
stated that there will be no additional money required? Is the evidence
going to be left in paper bags in the MTDB business office unguarded,
unsecured and unprocessed? Who is going to see that evidence is
processed and transported? Who is going to maintain the records
required by DOJ and the FBI? Who is going to do the follow-ups
required :£Tom the District Attorney when reports are deficient or require
additional interviews?
It would be suggested that in the future when considering law
enforcement issues, you might consult those involved with arrests and
report and evidence processing. You could save yourselves a great deal
of time and embarrassment not to mention the cost of a funeral when one
of your untrained, unprepared and ill equipped personnel is murdered by
one of these "minor" offenders.
