RID. 5:00 D.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Board Members Arnold, Gingerich, McArthur, Nash and Reynolds MEMBERS ABSENT: Chairman Contreras and Vice-Chairman Leonard CITY STAFF PRESENT: Director of Building and Housing Larsen, Assistant Director of Building and Housing Remp, Administrative Secretary Uybungco and Fire Marshal Gove (Director of Public Works Lippitt - Guest Speaker) CALL MEETING TO ORDER: Acting Chairperson Arnold called the meeting to order at 5:03 p.m. ROLL CALL: Members present constituted a quorum. 1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: MSUC Gingerich/Reynolds (5-0) to approve the minutes of January 14, 1991. 2. NEW BUSINESS: None 3. DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS/REPORT: A. Status Update - Ordinance Change - Roles, Responsibilities and Terms (Approved of First Reading by City Council on February 5, 1991): The City Council approved the first reading of the Ordinance change at its meeting of February 5, 1991. The Ordinance will go forth to Council on February 12, 1991 for the second reading and approval. The Ordinance change will be effective 30 days after second reading and approval (March 12, 1991). B. Citation Authority Program: Staff has been researching and preparing a Citation Authority Program to be brought forth to Council for approval and adoption. The Department is focusing primarily on Administrative citations which will site violations of the Chula vista Municipal Code. The fines will be payable to our Finance Department in increments of $100, $250 and $500. Board of Appeals & Advisors -2- February 11, 1991 There are two possible disadvantages from this program: (1) Appeal Process - There will be a staff appeal and then an appeal to the Board of Appeals and Advisors. This would take more time from the Board. (2) It may be viewed that violations may be bought by simply paying the fine. This program will be strongly advocated to enter into the Fire arena whereby the Fire Marshal will deputize the Fire Inspectors to issue Administrative citations. There could be heavy criticism by residential and business community if not administered properly; therefore, staff was hesitant to implement this program. The Program will be brought to the Board in April for approval, then to the Council in the beginning of May. Targeted implementation date is July 1, 1991- C. Presentation of Waste Water Treatment and Sewer Issues Facing Chula vista by John Lippitt, P.E. , Director of Public Works: Director of Public Works Lippitt outlined the responsibilities of each of the divisions of the Public Works Department. Public Works is divided into two major divisions: Engineering and Public Works Operations. Major Projects: (1) SR-125 - There will be more impact on residents east of I-80S. This is a difficult issue because no one wants a toll road. So far there has not be consensus on this issue. The state has authorized California Transit Ventures to build this toll road. (2) Sewage Treatment (See Attachment "A"): The City currently belongs to the Metro Sewer System which is owned and operated by the City of San Diego. Chula vista will have to make a decision on whether to continue with the city of San Diego's system or to have its own system. Currently Chula vista residents are generating 13 million gallons of sewage per month. Board of Appeals & Advisors -3- February 11, 1991 .- 4. COMMUNICATIONS (PUBLIC REMARKS/WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE): None 5. Acting Chairperson Arnold adjourned the meeting at 6:02 p.m. to the next special meeting scheduled for March 18, 1991- 'It Kenneth G.

Decision #1. Special Act District -versus- Contract. 2. For Chula Vista in SAD, need modifications or a Contract. 3. San Diego has 2/3 of flow, and 50 percent in weighted vote. 4. Call for weighted vote requires one large or two smaller agencies to second. 5. Issues to be resolved: · Cost-sharing formula. · Leaving the District (costs) · Capacity rights (new and past) · Water reclamation (cost-share between water user and sewer user) ( 6. WE SHOULD SUPPORT THE SAD WITH THE CONDITION THAT ANY AGENCY CAN WITHDRAW WITHOUT PENALTY WITHIN ONE YEAR FROM FORMATION OR UNTIL MAJOR FINANCING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCfION OF REGIONAL FACILITIES. DUDEK ASSOCIATES STUDY 1. Looked at several alternatives and costs for Chula Vista: A. Stay 100 percent with Regional system. B. Build own system. C. Stay with Metro for current capacity rights and buiJd own plant for additional flows. 2. Checked markets for water reclamation and found them to be there. Found water reclamation to be feasible within costs parameters compared to San Diego's Plan. 3. Based on capital costs known at time, more feasible to go on our own. However. when comparing operation costs, not a significant difference between going on own or staying with Regional system. <. 4. Newer costs data to come from San Diego in January should be compared to original reports. These costs may substantially lower our costs to stay in Region. · Attachment "A" (page 2 of 3) BULLETS ( (continued) CHULA VISTA SEWER DECISION 5. If Judge Brewster allows San Diego to re-apply for Waiver, could be more advantageous to stay with Regional system. 6. Both Chula Vista and the Regional system are looking at the Otay Valley as a site for a plant. Thus, water reclamation could be accommodated whichever agency served. 7. Financing and rate setting for reclaimed water could be very complex and political, based on differing water and sewer agencies serving same areas. Also, some agencies will not be set up to receive reclaimed water, so should they help pay? 8. The Dudek Associates Study did not look at Chula Vista sharing the IBWC Outfall. This should be looked at if we are still seriously considering our own system.
