REVIEWED BY: <;,'i.C (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoXJ

The Police Department has been experiencing a problem recently with the chronic refusal of
certain businesses to obey the prohibition against parking cars on sidewalks, in violation of
Chula Vista Municipal Code section 10.52,070 (A)(2), In order to enforce the law by
removing the vehicle, it is necessary for the Council to explicitly authorize same by resolution
or ordinance, Upon approval of the proposed ordinance, the Police Department would have the
authority to tow/remove vehicles parked on the sidewalk in violation of the Municipal Code,
The Chamber of Commerce, Broadway Business Association, Engineering Department, Police .
Department and Safety Commission have reviewed the item and are in favor of staff's
recommendation,
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council concur with the Police Department's
recommendation and place the attached ordinance on the first
reading,
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: At the July 14,1994 meeting the Safety
Commission voted 6-0 to concur with the Police Department's recommendation to the City
Council to place the attached ordinance on the first reading.
DISCUSSION:
The Police Department and Traffic Engineering staff has been working with businesses in the
200 block of Broadway for the past few years in an attempt to discourage illegal parking on
the sidewalk to ensure safe parking in the area, Staff in an attempt to be sensitive to the needs
of businesses has worked with all businesses in the area, Public awareness of the violations has
not accomplished the desired results, The proposed ordinance, which would allow for towing
illegally parked vehicles, has been reviewed by the Chula Vista Safety Commission, Police
Department and Traffic Engineering
An illustration of the necessity for the ordinance is as follows: Although this type of illegal
parking does occur in a few residential areas, it is more critical in commercial areas, This
ordinance would be of particular benefit to the public frequenting Broadway, north of "F"
Street, (200 block of Broadway) where violations by some businesses of such an ordinance
have been observed on a f~quent basis, These businesses permit customers to drive and park
¿../ \
P~ge 2 , Item-'-
Meeting Date ~ /
, ' ~/*>
on the sIdewalks and driveways within the parkway fronting the businesses, which forces
pedestrians to walk in the street around the parked cars, One officer who has been trying,
without success, to persuade the business owners to prevent parking on sidewalks in front of
their businesses, states that there are 20 violators per shift, on the 2:00 P,M, to midnight shift
alone, Since the businesses are only open for about 5 hours during that shift, the problem may
be even more severe than this anecdotal evidence suggests,
It should be noted that legal parking is available in the 500 block of Davidson Street which
would permit customers to legally park without hazard to pedestrians, Staff has also
investigated the 200 block of Broadway and has added several on-street parking spaces along
the west curbline,
In order to discourage parking or driving on sidewalks anywhere in the City, the Police
Department would like towing authority, Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 10,52070
prohibits, among other offenses, parking on a sidewalk but does not provide for towing,
Section 10,52,070 similarly prohibits parking within crosswalks and intersections, along
railroad tracks, etc. Towing authority must be explicitly provided for by the CounciL More
specifically, California Vehicle Code Section 22651(n) provides that a peace officer may
remove a vehicle when "" ,any vehicle is parked or left standing where local authorities, by ..
resolution or ordinance, have prohibited parking and have authorized the removal of vehicles,
No vehicle may be removed unless signs are posted giving notice of the removaL" Staff has
attached a prototype sign for your review,
It should be emphasized that it is the policy of the Police Department to continue to attempt
to, gain voluntary compliance and to only tow as a last resort It is hoped that the posting of
the sign will in itself result in the compliance that the Police Department has been unable to
achieve with mere ticketing,
In addition, the proposed ordinance requires the police officer to warn prior to towing (but not
to ticketing) if reasonable and practical to do so in the officer's judgment
In one notable incident, on Friday, September 16, 1994 at 11:32 a,m" vehicles were parking
on the sidewalk when a water delivery truck driver also parked on the sidewalk. When the
water delivery truck was backing up to leave, it hit and knocked down a concrete street light
standard, The street light standard fell towards the roadway and caused several thousand dollars
damage to a Toyota pick up truck legally parked along the east curb line of Broadway. Similar
accidents could continue to happen and may involve pedestrians or the motoring public, The
cost to replace the damaged street light is $2025,80. As of February 8, 1995 the City has not
yet been reimbursed for the cost of replacing the street light
We therefore ask Council to enact the attached ordinance which amends section 10,52,070 to
provide that vehicles parked in violation of its sections may be removed if a sign is posted
giving notice of removal; the amendment further authorizes the City Engineer to post signs
giving notice of removal where necessary, Signs shall be at least 15" x 24" in size with black
lettering on white reflective background and shall be posted at least one sign per city block.

Staff will install the 18" X 24" sign on the existing street light standards, Two signs are
required on the east side of Broadway between Davidson Street and F Street
Chula Vista Police Department and Traffic Engineering staff attended two Broadway Business
Association (BBA) meetings. On October 6, 1994 staff presented the issue, provided for a
question and answer session and were asked to return the following week so that members of
the BBA could have an opportunity to investigate the request
On October 13, 1994 the BBA chairperson, Ms, JoAnne Clayton, informed staff that the BBA
supported the recommendation and would be forwarding a letter to that effect to the City (see
attachment), All area businesses have been notified of tonight's City Council meeting,
Rod Davis, Executive Director of the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, supports staffs
recommendation and has been notified of tonight's City Council meeting,
FISCAL IMPACT: $50,00 per sign (two required), The cost of the signs and pavement
markings are estimated at $200,00 including full cost recovery, and are budgeted as part of the
Operations Divisions of Public Works, .

ChuIa Vista, CA 91910 ..
Dear Officer Rivera and Fobes,
I am writing today on behalf of the Broadway Business Association. FoJlowing Our
conversations and your visit to the Association meeting, we would encourage your
enforcement of NO P ARKlNG on the sidewalk of the 200 block of Broadway.
Association members have observed that the parking on the sidewalk, especiaJly on the
east side, of the 200 block of Broadway, appears to create a safety hazard to pedestrians
and even the vehicles driving up onto and down from the sidewalk. It is our
1ll1derstanding that parking will continue to be permitted at the curb,
Parking can be problematic for aJl businesses; however, public safety cannot be
jeopardized. I would appreciate your input to those business owners affected how
best to utilize their existing legal parking.
Sincerely" {!¿ ;'!-.

MSUC (Thomas/Pitts) that the area residents submit a petition to staff expressing a desire to establish time- -
limited parking within the affected streets.
8. REPORT on Ordinance - Amending Section 10.52.070 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code Relating
, to Police Removal of Vehicles parked on Sidewalks
Sgt. d'Ablaing said there was a problem with vehicles parked on sidewalks. Specifically, in the 200 block of
Broadway there were two business which catered to automobile repair/parts, The businesses required patrons
to leave their vehicles and vehicles were parked in driveways which blocked pedestrian access. The Police
Department received many complaints from pedestrians who indicated they either needed to walk out into
the street or around the vehicles. Officers had made contacts with the businesses who indicated a desire to
cooperate, but said they didn't have total control. Many of the offenders being cited were not aware they had
received a citation. It was the Police Department's experience that the business employees remove9 the
citation from the windshield and not replaced it prior to the vehicle being picked up by its owner. The
citation turned delinquent and was submitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles and the owner was not
aware of the citation until they attempted to register the vehicle the following year. Before renewal of vehicle
registration, the owner must have cleared all parking violations. When the owners came to the Police
Department to investigate the citations, they realized the citations were received while at the businesses. The
owners ended up paying inflated parking citation that could have been paid for by the businesses. One
business had tried to cooperate by placing temporary "no parking signs." Staff requested the area be posted
i 10 parking" on the sidewalk area and they be given the authority to remove any vehicle in violation. If
citations were issued, motorists would not move their vehicles since they felt the officer would not give them
another ticket.
Chair Thomas asked what the businesses were.
Sgt. d'Ablaing said they were Pacific Auto and AAMCO which catered to vehicles. The owners indicated the
locations were poor choices for the types of businesses. There was limited parking and customers wanted to
park as close to the businesses as possible. About 6' of the sidewalk next the buildings was private property
where the owners parked. It gave a false sense of security to patrons who then felt they could park on the
sidewalk.
Chair Thomas if the businesses required the vehicles to be moved during the day or if, the vehicles remained
in one place. If the vehicles were to be moved, did the businesses know they were parking cars illegally.
Sgt. d'Ablaing said the business employees were aware of the situation. The Police Department contacted the
managers, but the employees had informed the Police Department that they were never told about parking
the vehicles. The Police Department re-contacted the managers to ask them for on-going training of their
employees. He contacted the headquarters for AAMCO and informed them of the situation. The corporate
office instructed the local manager to comply with the Police Department and the problems dropped signifi-
cantly. However, the Police Department did not have the same option with the other independent business
owner.
Frank Rivera said staff had looked at adding parking wherever they could, Since Broadway was a two hour
time limited parking, the employees did not want to be constantly moving cars and it was easier to park on
'he sidewalk and not worry about the two hour parking limit. East Park Lane, which ran behind the
Jusinesses, was a public street and filled with vehicles,
¿ . /'1 UNOFFICIAL MINUTES
Safety Commission Minutes
July 14, 1994
Page S
Commissioner Smith asked who was responsible for parking the car, was it the owner of the business or the -
owner of the vehicle.
Sgt. d'Ablaing said it was a combination of both, He did not see the Police Department impounding many
vehicles. When a motorist viewed their vehicle about to be impounded, they claimed the vehicle and
received a citation.
Commissioner Smith said an innocent person could park their car legally, then a mechanic could park it
illegally and the vehicle would be towed, thus penalizing the owner of the vehicle when he/she had complied
with the law. He asked if there was a way the business owner could be cited.
Sgt. d'Ablaing indicated there was no ordinance on the books that allowed the business owners to be cited,
only the vehicle.
Hal Rosenberg said the ordinance would only be enforceable with proper signage, The primary interest was
safety of pedestrians, The ordinance would be universal and would be used throughout the City. Currently,
the Police Department did not have the authority to impound vehicles,
Sgt. d'Ablaing said it was his experience that if a vehicle owner received a citation while the vehicle was at
the auto shop, the shop had paid the citation.
Commissioner Smith said if the business owners were cited, the problem would stop,
MSUC (Thomas/Pitts) that the Safety Commissioner concur with the Police Department's recommendation
to the City Council to place the attached ordinance on the first reading.

Re: Police Towing Contract
,
Chronology Of Events
07/23/92 - Met with Kevin Hardy; Management Assistant, to discuss the impending
expiration of the Towing Contract and provide input and suggestions. We asked Mr.
Hardy ifwe should contact the council, as we had done in the past, to direct staff to report
on this item. He replied that he would handle everything.
11/14/92 - Our contract with the City ofChula Vista expired.
12/92-10/93 - Numerous telephone contacts with Mr. Hardy, none of which resulted in
any action.
11193 - After being unable to initiate a meeting with the Chief of Police, we were referred
to Captain Withers, who infonned us that Lt. Art Gawfwould now be handling this item.
1/19/94 - Meeting with Lt. Gawf, we shared suggestions and ideas on how the towing
contract can be improved. Since the contract had been expired in excess of 1 year, we
again asked ifwe should initiate action ITom the council. His reply was "No" , himself and
Mr. Hardy would be handling this item. We felt confident that fmally something was
being done.
07/23/94 - We were provided with a memo ITom Lt. Gawf, outlining his ideas and
suggestions on the renewal of the towing contract. This included a background of the
previous processes, and a recommendation that the contract be extended for 2 years along
with a long over due rate increase. He additionally suggested that a Tow Service Review
Board be fonned to review complaints and recommend changes of policies that will
provide optimum service 10 the Police Department.
~--'/7
07/26/94 - Meeting with Mr, Hardy and a Gawf regarding the implementation of a
Negligent Vehicle Impound Fee program. They asked us to absorb additional costs for
this program above what we were currently providing. We agreed, but only if a contract
extension and rate increase was given within 90 days as per U. Gawfs memo. They
agreed pending Council approval.
08/01/94 - Implementation of the new Negligent Impound Payment program. Please note
that this took the city and the towing companies onlv 6 dayS to start. We are team
players, and have been extremely understanding regarding the extensive delay in meeting
our needs.
08/23/94 - Mr. Hardy provided us with Draft Contracts to review and provide input on
any necessary changes. Mr. Hardy stated that "We should be before council in 45 days".
09/01/94 -12/31/94 - Several contacts with Mr. Hardy regarding the status of any
scheduled council meetings. During this time we contacted City Council Member
Rindone and asked for his help in getting this item moving and docketed. After numerous
delays and alleged scheduled council meetings, Mr. Hardy stated that we should go before
council in January.
01/16/95 - Mr. Hardy called to let us know that the item was being scheduled for the
meeting of 0 1/24/95, however, it would be the recommendation of staff to; l.Put the
contract out to bid. 2.Start collecting a rranchise payment, to be paid by the towing
company. 3.Limit the contract to 3 towing companies. 4.OnIy give a contract extension
to the CUITent providers until 07/01/95. This was the first time we had heard of any such
items.
01/24/95 - The Towing Contract was again not on the Council Agenda.
Since our contract expired over 2 years ago, the only concrete item to be addressed was
the need of the City ofChula Vista in having the Towing Companies collect its Negligent
Impound Payment with absolutely no compensation to the towing company.

REVIEWED BY: City Manager Gr¡1<" (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX)
On April 12, 1994 Council adopted the proposed Resolution of Intention, adopted the boundary map,
and requested consent and jurisdiction from the County to order the acquisition and financing of the
public improvements for Assessment District No. 94-1. On May 5, 1994 Council approved the
Acquisition/Financing agreement for this district. On June 7, 1994, the County of San Diego gave
the City of Chula Vista consent and jurisdiction to construct improvements and levy assessments on
properties located within County jurisdiction. Tonight's actions will continue the formal proceedings
leading to the establishment of Assessment District No. 94-1.
The proposed ordinance will enable the City to adopt future modifications to the state assessment
laws where such modifications are required by the public interest and necessity. The ordinance will
also amend the provisions of the 1915 Act (the bond law pursuant to which most of the assessment
district bonds are issued) to be applied to district proceedings undertaken by the City. This
amendment will permit the Engineer's Report to set forth the method by which the annual assessment
insta1lments will be apportioned among properties within the district. This report is approved by
Council as part of the district proceedings.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council: 1) place the ordinance on first reading; 2) accept the
petition; 3) adop. the resolution of intention; 4) Adopt the amended boundary map; 5) approve the
preliminary engineer's report; and 6) direct the City Clerk to notice the public hearings for

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable, "';I/f?5
DISCUSSION:
The Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 is a financing mechanism which allows the financing of
public infrastructure improvements through assessment districts bonds with payments collected from
the property owners with their property taxes. There is no direct cost to the Cjty. This is an
acquisition district wherein the developer is constructing the public improvements and the City will
acquire them upon completion with funds derived from the sale of bonds. City policy establishes that
only "backbone" facilities, providing benefit to the entire property within the district, are eligible for
assessment district financing. The developer is responsible for financing the construction of local
subdivision improvements.
Eastlake Development Company is in the process of developing the southern half of Eastlake Greens,
(Greens II) which is currently vacant. The current property owners (Eastlake Development 8) have
petitioned the City pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (see Attachment A), to use
assessment district financing to construct backbone public facilities such as storm drain, sewer,
water, reclaimed water, utilities, landscaping, grading and street surface improvements serving the
whole Eastlake Greens II. Staff has reviewed the petition and has determined that it meets the
requirements of the State of California Streets and Highways Code and recommends approval by
Council. Eastlake intents to construct the improvements jn three phases to track with the development
phasing (see Exhibit A). -:.
Area of Benefit
On April 12, 1994 Council approved the boundary map for AD 94- I. Since then, several subdivision
and parcel maps have been approved. The boundary map needs to be amended to reflect these
changes and to include a portion of the future Eastlake Trails. This property has been included in
order to enable Eastlake to fully finance the Transportation Development Impact Fee facilities to be
acquired by Assessment District No 94-1 (AD 94-1), The amended boundary map has been reviewed
by staff and found it acceptable and ready for Council approval.
The proposed boundary of AD 94-1 includes the parcels located in the south part of the Eastlake
Greens development, the golf course, the south portion of the future Eastlake Trails and the area
known as the "Land Swap Area" presently within the County located between Eastlake Greens and
East Orange Avenue and the area west of Eastlake development (see Exhibit B).
Recently, the Council approved an amendment to the EastLake I General Development Plan (GDP)
and an amendment to the Eastlake Greens SPA Plan and Tentative Map. In accordance with these
approvals, Eastlake Greens II will contain a total of 1,531 dwelling units consisting of two different
product types: 949 Single Family Detached and 582 Single Family Attached residences.
Imurovements
In accordance with City Policy, only backbone improvements providing full service to the Greens
II are proposed in AD 94-1, The developer will finance the construction of the additional facilities
required to serve each specific subdivision.
The public improvements proposed to be financed through this acquisition proceeding include:
?,.J-

Meeting Date 2 þ"
1. . .3. 7/5
South Greensview Drive from Clubhouse Drive to Hunte Parkway ,
South Greensview Drive is a resjdential collector street providing the main access to all the
properties within the Greens II. The public improvements include: grading, pavement and
base, curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lights, landscaping, and underground facilities for water,
reclaimed water, domestic water, sewer, storm drains, telephone and gas.
2. Hunte Parkway from Clubhouse Drive to East Orange Avenue
Hunte Parkway is a four-lane major street which is included in the Transportation
Development Impact Fee (TDlF) program, The jmprovements to be funded through AD 94-1
are: grading, pavement and base, curb, gutter, sidewalk, median, street lighting, landscaping,
and storm drain improvements,
3. East Orange Avenue from Hunte Parkway to the SDG&E Easement
East Orange Avenue is a six-lane prime arterial which is also a component of the TDlF
program. The improvements to be financed by AD 94-1 are grading and drainage facilities.
ProDosed Assessments
The estimated total amount to be assessed to the land in the district is $7,933,483 (see Attachment .
B) of which $5,915,064 is for grading and improvements, $937,357 for incidental costs (design, plan
check, City staff and consultants' cost) and $1,190,022 correspond to bond issuance cost (reserve,
underwriter discount, and capitalized interest).
The properties in the Greens II have assessments placed by the existing Assessment Districts No. 90-
3 and 91-1. Assessment District No. 90-3 funded the construction of major infrastructure serving
the whole Eastlake Development (Greens, Trails, Woods, Vistas, Business Center II and OTC).
Assessment District No. 91-1 levied only TDlF assessments on the Eastlake Greens South properties,
Assessment District 94-1 would finance the construction of backbone facilities providing full service
to the Greens 11 area and the improvement of a portion Hunte Parkway and East Orange Avenue
(TDlF facilities).
The Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDlF) program was established by Council to finance
the construction of major transportation facilities serving the Eastern Territories. All properties
located in the Eastern Area shall pay a fee prior to building permit approval. Most of the Greens II
(1,281.6 EDUs) have already paid the TDlF through the existing AD 91-1 at the rate of
$3,060/EDU. Only those parcels (130.6 EDUS) located in the land swap area will be paying the
current fee of $3,998/EDU through AD 94-1. The TDlF eligible cost of $1,995,422 is apportioned
using the current fee of $3,998 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) which gives a total of 499.1
EDUs for AD 94-1. The TDlF is proposed to be assessed against properties in the Greens 11 (130.6
EDUs), Parcel R-26 (74.4 EDUs) and the Trails (294, I EDUs),
The following table summarizes the existing and proposed districts:

The following procedure will be followed in order to ensure that all property meet the criteria set
forth by Council:
Lien Ratio: Based on preliminary appraisal information, it was determined that most of
the property comply with the 3: 1 (land value to lien) ratio. A final appraisal will be made prior to
any bond sale. If this appraisal comes in lower than expected or assessment increase, the developer
would be required to either provide cash or letters of credit to maintain the lien ratio within the City
criteria.
Maximum Tax: The combination of regular County taxes, Mello-Roos school taxes, and
assessment installments shall not exceed the City maximum of 2 % of the market value. If this is
exceeded during project development, the developer would be required to provide cash to either
reduce the assessment or the-special tax obligation.

As mentioned before, a final appraisal will be made prior to the issuance of any bonds, The results
of this appraisal, number and amount of the bond issues, and the lien ratio and maximum tax analysis
will be submitted to Council approval prior to any bond sale.
A copy of the Financial Feasibility study is presented as Attachment C.
Citv of Chula Vista Assessment District Ordinance
The proposed project will be built in three phases. Bonds will be issued pursuant to the ] 915 Bond
Act and will either be sold for each phase or else a single bond issue will be sold and the interest
on unspent bond proceeds used to meet a portion of the debt service on the bonds.
In either case, under the traditional assessment apportioning methodology stipulated by the ]9]5
Bond Act, the annual amount to be paid by each residential parcel (developed or undeveloped) should
be the same, In projects contemplating phased construction, such as the Greens 1I, this annual
assessment would be subject to an increase as additional bonds are sold or bond funds expended,
Such increase will be counter to current City Policy to have property owners pay the final assessment
amount when they purchase the house. Council did not want to mislead home buyers in earlier
phases by having low assessments in the beginning and then increase it in later years. Further,
property relying on future project construction (phases 1I and III) would be subject to the same
financial impact as property which can be immediately developed (phase I), which would not be
equitable. '.
In order to overcome these objections, a new methodology of apportioning the annual installments
is proposed in page 31 "Annual Apportionment of Assessment Installments" of the Engineer's Report
(Attachment D). This methodology would allow the collection of "fu" assessments from
"developed" properties and "partial" assessments from those "undeveloped" parcels in pro rata
amounts as necessary to pay the debt service on the outstanding improvement bonds then issued by
the City. A "developed" parcel is one for which a building permit has been issued or which was
created by a final subdivision or parcel map.
This new procedure provides a fair and equitable approach for apportioning the annual installments
in those projects contemplating a phased development, such as the AD 94-1 (Greens 1I). If the
project were constructed in one phase, all the properties would pay full assessments beginning the
first year, The methodology will provide for the collection of annual installments during buildout of
the assessment district in amounts that more accurately reflect the benefit being received by the
assessed parcels. Those parcels which are developed and will use the public improvements sooner
than the undeveloped parcels will also pay their maximum annual installment earlier in time than the
undeveloped parcels. The parcels developing later in the project will start paying partial assessments
and will over time pay their corresponding full assessment. Attachment E presents an example of the
cash flow of the annual installments using the proposed methodology,
Bond Counsel (Brown, Diven & Hentschke), Financial Consultant (Kadie-Jensen, Johnson & Bodnar)
and city staff have reviewed the proposed methodology and recommend Council approvaL
The proposed ordinance (see Attachment F) will enable the City to subsequently amend the
provisions of these assessments acts as the City deems necessary to meet the needs and interests of
the City, The ordinance will also amend the provisions of the 1915 Act by establishing that the
annual amount collected from each parcel shall be in accordance with the apportionment methodology
set forth in the Engineer's Report prepared pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code Section

Resolutions
The RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS ON THE PETITION verifies that the petition meets the
requirements of the Streets and Highways Code.
The RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE AMENDED BOUNDARY MAP constitutes the approval of
the proposed district boundary.
The RESOLUTION DECLARING INTENTION is the jurisdictional resolution under the "1913 Act"
proceedings, declaring intention to finance improvements through the issuance of bonds and declaring
that the improvements are a benefit to the properties within the district. This resolution also directs
the engineer-of-work to prepare a report on the plans, and a description of the improvements,
Further, it provides for the issuance of bonds on the project
The RESOLUTION PASSING ON "ENGINEER'S REPORT" AND SETTING PUBLIC
HEARINGS is the preliminary approval of the "Engineer's Report" as required in the previous
resolutions and sets date, time and place for the public hearings,
Future Actions .-
"' Public hearings are herein scheduled for April 4 and 18,1995
"' Confirmation of the assessments is herein scheduled for April 18, 1995
"' The bond sale is planned for June I, 1995
FISCAL IMPACT: Eastlak:e Development will pay all costs associated with the formation of the
district and will be reimbursed once bonds have been sold, The City will receive the benefit of full
cost recovery for staff cost (estimated at $78,000) to be funded by the district. Eastlak:e will also
deposit with the City an origination charge. It is anticipated that this origination charge would be
between $79,334.83 and $119,002.25 (1.0% to 1.5 % of the confirmed assessment), The final amount
will be determined after Council consideration of a proposed change in the origination charge to be
collected from developers for the use of public financing. Staff had proposed last year, as a measure
to increase City revenues, that the origination charge for more complicated acquisitions be increased,
This item will be brought before Council during March, 1995. After bond sale, the origination
payment would be transferred to the general fund.

2, MCR Electrical Contractors, Inc, - Imperial Beach $70,840
3, Knox Electric, Inc, - Santee $71,798
4, Southwest Signal Service - El Cajon $79,640
5, Lekos Electric, Inc, - El Cajon $85,090
6, Select Electric - Spring Valley $87,850
The low bid of $70,035 was received from TCB Electric, Inc, The low bid is above the
Engineer's estimate of $64,410 or approximately 9%, The contractor, TCB Electric, Inc, has
recently completed several projects for the City of San Diego, City of Encinitas, and City of
Escondido, We have contacted these agencies and their comments and recommendation have
been favorable. The low bidder has met all City requirements set forth in the bid document,
and therefore, we recommend awarding the contract to TCB Electric, Inc,
The original project approved by Council included four locations, The fourth location, the
northeast corner of H Street and Third Avenue involved the relocation of a signal pole or the
widening of the sidewalk to provide sufficient width for wheelchairs, The property owner (St
Rose of Lima) has agreed to give the City an easement that will provide enough sidewalk
clearance to conform with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, Therefore,
relocating the existing traffic signal standard at this location will not be necessary, The
sidewalk widening will be performed by City forces utilizing the Signal Upgrade project
contingency money,
The total project cost is $87,100 which includes $7,000 for contingencies and $10,065 for staff
time in addition to the construction cost of $70,035, The approved FY 94/95 budget for this
project is $79,200, Therefore, an additional appropriation of $7,900 is needed from the Traffic
Signal Fund to complete the project
Environmental Status
The City's Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the work involved in this project
and determined that the project is exempt under Section 15302, Class 3 (new construction or
conversion of small structures of the location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or

of the 1994-200 I Regional Transportation Improvement Program and Authorize its submittal
to the San Diego Association of Governments, SANDAG,
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable,
DISCUSSION:
The 1994-2001 San Diego Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is a seven
year program of proposed major highway arterial, transit, bikeway and aviation projects,
Development and approval of the RTIP by SANDAG is a requirement for the continued receipt
of State and Federal Transportation project funding, The proposition "A" TRANSNET
Transportation Improvement Program Ordinance and Expenditure Plan, requires that all
proposed projects in this program be included in the RTIP, The proposition "A" ordinance and
expenditure plan also states that revenues generated by the sales tax measure will be used
solely for transportation improvement projects,
The Chula Vista RTIP was adopted by the City Council on February 22, 1994 following a
public hearing, The adopted RTIP is consistent with the city's Capital Improvement Program
and originally included nine projects utilizing transnet funds, The projects and their
corresponding amounts were programmed as follows:

facilities, etc, Approval of this Resolution will constitute the first amendment to the 1994-2001
RTIP, The amendment consists of the following:
1) Delete the Otay Valley Road, Phase 2 project In June 1994, the City received
a low construction bid for this project Assessment District funds allocated for
the project were adequate to cover its full cost, and no TRANSNET funds were
required,
2) Increase the program amount of project No, 3, Otay Valley Road, Phase 3, from
$550,000 to $753,200, Following adoption of the RTIP in February 94 the

funding schedules. Instead of the previous 3 phases it is now proposed to
construct Main Street in five phases,
A Main Street, Industrial Blvd, to Broadway, This overall project will also
include the improvement of Broadway between Main Street and the
southerly City limits, Staff is proposing to construct this project in two
phases, Phase 1 includes RO,W, purchase, environmental mitigation,

completion of surface improvements on Main Street The Broadway
improvements will be in Phase 2,
R Main Street, Broadway to Third Avenue,

along with the corresponding estimated costs is shown in Table 1 and on Exhibit "A", The
revenue/expenditure estimates are shown on Exhibit "B " ,
FISCAL IMPACT: Transnet Revenues, totaling approximately $2,658,000 are estimated to
be allocated to the City of Chula Vista in Fiscal Year 95-96, These funds will be used to
complete the improvement of the final segment of Broadway between Naples and Anita Streets

Item TIde: Resolution executing an agreement with the Air Pollution Control District for the
purchase of a retrofitted electric shuttle; appropriating $20,000 in grant funding to the Energy
Conservation Fund and approving budget for same; waiving the competitive bidding
requirement and authorizing the expenditure of $20,000 for the ElekTruk.
Submitted bv: Barbara Bamberger, Environmental Resource Mana~~
Reviewed bv: John D, Goss, City Manager ~ 11 (4/5 Vote: Yel J NoJ
On November 5, 1993, the Council accepted $20,000 in grant funding from the Air Pollution Control District
(APCD)and $10,000 in grant funding from the California Energy Commission (CEC) toward the purchase of an
electric shuttle to service the telecenters, On September 27, 1994, (minutes on attachment 2) Council approved
purchase of this vehicle for a total cost of $30,000, and execution of a contract with a Chula Vista company
ElekTruk; total funding for the vehicle has been allocated from two grant sources, $10,000 from the CEC and
$20,000 from the APCD, respectively, Council action secures the APCD grant contract and sets forth the terms
and conditions for receipt of such funds, Council approved a contract for $10,000 from one grant source; this
resolution authorizes expenditure of the balance to purchase the electric shuttle,
This project will be part of the City's overall effort toward development of a comprehensive energy conservation
and air quality improvement program and is consistent with the City's C02 Reduction and Greenfleets programs,
RECOMMENDATION: Approve resolutions.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: N/A
DISCUSSION
In conjunction with the City's ongoing efforts to be energy conscious and to promote programs for ongoing
market development efforts such as the Border Environmental Commerce Alliance, staff recommends
authorization of an agreement with the APCD for, and appropriation of, $20,000 in Energy Conservation Funds
to purchase an electric shuttle van, Residents of the City will benefit from the reduction in vehicle exhaust that
will occur by offering access to the shuttle, and businesses will benefit through development and promotion of
an emerging electric vehicle market
Staff has proposed, and Council approved, conversion of a passenger van to an electric shuttle that will be used
to transport telecenter participants to and from Chula Vista's Neighborhood Telecenters, The electric shuttle will
be a converted passenger minivan with one wheelchair restraint system and will meet the American with
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, The shuttle, developed by a local company, ElekTruk will employ several
innovative features in its design, including an "opportunity-charging" system that will reduce charging time and
increase vehicle range significantly, When fully operational, this program is expected to daily displace 88 single
occupancy vehicles per week from Chula Vista roads and provide air quality improvements and decreased
transportation energy use.
Staff is recommending waiving the bidding requirements because the contract is based upon an agreed scope of
work which includes purchasing the vehicle from ElekTruk, The vehicle will be driven and housed by the San
Diego Conservation Corp, The Conservation Corp, will schedule shuttle routes for telecenter users,

ITEM 8"
Date 2/28/95
The cost of the shuttle is $30,000 - $20,000 was allocated from Air Pollution Control Board in September 1993
and $10,000 from the CEC in October 1994, The shuttle is in the process of being retrofitted. Once the vehicle
is completed and operational. and the contracts approved by the City. the City will take over ownership and
operation.
Specifications for the electric shuttle are as follows:
Vehicle: Converted 8 passenger minivan, one wheelchair restraint system with wheelchair ramp,
Top Speed: 50 miles per hour
Range: 50 miles - by employing opportunity charging system, the vehicle can travel 5-6 round trips to
Eastlake from the T elecenter per day,
Charging: 2-4 hours using an automated "electric vehicle refueling system" (i,e, opportunity charging)
Batteries: US Battery
Motor: 27-7 Horsepower direct current motor, Advance DC motors
Staff anticipates the following goals will be achieved regarding air quality improvements and cost effectiveness
by:
maintaining a log of all trips generated and all gasoline powered vehicular trips that are replaced with shuttle
trips and calculating savings based upon our records, Based upon the original gas mileage of the vehicle prior
to being retrofitted, the City anticipates saving PER MILE:
· .6 gmlmi hydrocarbons
· 9 gmlmi Carbon Monoxide
· 2 gmI mi Nitrogen Dioxide
Emissions reduced per 15,000 miles is:
· 135 Kg CO
· 9 Kg of hydrocarbons
· 30 Kg NO,
Emissions reduced per 6 year life span:
· 810 Kg of CO
· 54 Kg of hydrocarbons
· 180 Kg NO,
These savings do not include emissions reduced from a maximum of 40 cold starts, approximately 20 passengers
per day.

California Low Emission Vehicle program, mandates the most stringent clean vehicles program in the world, It
is the most important piece of legislation promoting alternative fuel vehicles, CARB requires that by 1997, at
least 2% of all cars and light duty trucks sold by each auto maker in California must be ultra low emission
vehicles (ULEV); and by 2003, at least 15% of cars and light duty trucks sold must be ULEV, Both CNG and
electric vehicles meet the ULEV definition, CARB also requires that at least 10% of all cars and light duty
trucks sold by 2003 must be zero emission vehicles (ZEV), Of existing technologies, only electric vehicles meet
the 'lÆV defmition, Promoting alternative fuel vehicles will lessen the future impacts of this mandate and assist
with alternative fuel vehicle penetration and acceptance.
The Federal Energy Policy Act (FEPA) of 1992 also requires an alternative fuels program, FEPA mandates that
20% of municipal fleets must be converted to alternative fuels beginning 1998,
Fiscal Tnmact
The City will receive $20,000 in grant funding to be appropriated to the Energy COll$ervation Fund and
budgeted in account 280-2804 for the Alternative Fuels Retrofit Program, This grant will be used to supplement
$10,000 of California Energy Commission funds to retrofit a van (total cost is $30,000) to electric power, The
electric shuttle will provide a transportation service for the City's Neighborhood Telecenter, The Telecenter will
operate the van to shuttle patrons to and from the center. ElekTruk will maintain the vehicle for the fIrst year,
maintenance for year two and beyond will cost the City an additional $1,200 per year, if the City elects to
contract with ElekTruk for ongoing maintenance after the fIrst year, If the City chooses not to renew its
maintenance contract, Public Works will continue to maintain the vehicle, Staff will return with
recommendations budgeting maintenance for year two,

default clause as authority to acquire any completed supplies or manufac-
turing materials upless he has made certain that the County does not
already have title thereto under aome other provision of the contract. In
the event manufacturing materials are to be acquired by the County under
the authority of the Default clauae for the purpoae of furnishing the
materials to any other contractor, the contracting officer ahall take
such action only after living due consideration to the difficulties that
such contractor may encounter in awkinl use of the materials.
(D) The County shall pay to the contractor the contract price for any coœ-
pleted aupplies, and the amount alreed upon by the coòtracting officer
and the contractor for any manufacturing materials acquired by the
Co'unty pursuant to the default clause.
(c) The contractor is liable to the County for any excess costs for aupplies
and aervices procured, and for any other damagea, whether or not repur-
chase is effected. Bowever, where the failure to perform arises out of
causes which are excusable under the clauae, the contractor shall not be .
lisble for any exeess costs.
1-8.402-3 Procedure in case of default. .
(a) The default clause covers sitautions where the contractor has in fact .
defaulted by failure to make delivery of the supplies or to perform the
service within the time specified by the contract or any extension there-
I of. In such situations, no, notice of failure by the contractor or of the
possibility of termination for default is required by the teras of the
clause to be sent to the contractor prior to the actual notice of termi-
nation. Bowever, if the County bas taken any action which mght be
construed as a waiver of the contract delivery or perforœaDCe date, a
preliminary DOt1ce ahall be sent the contractor aett1ng a new date by
which the contractor vill be permitted to make delivery or complete
performance, raservinl the County's r1lhts uDder the default clause.
Dependent upon the circumstances in each case, such a prel1a1nary DOt1ce
(1) shall call the contractor's attention to his contractual liabilities
should the contract be terminated for default under subparagraph (a) (1)
of the clause, (2) may request an explanation of the contractor's
failure, (3) may state that failure of the contractor to present such
explanation may be taken as an admission that no valid explanation
exists, and (4) may invite the contractor to discuss the matter at a
.:ouf.r.~e.
(b) The default clause covers situations in which the contractor fails to
perform any of the other provisions of the contract (such as GOt furnish-
111g a required patformance bond) or ao fai].s to make progr..s as to
endanger performaftl:e of the contract in accordance with ita terma. In
either of such situations, the contracting officer ~t formally DOtify
the contractor of such failure and allow at least ten days for cure of
the failure before issuing a termination notice. Such notification shail
set forth in coftl:ise but complete form all of the provisions of the
contract which the contractor has failed to meet, or a aummary of the
i findings which bave demonstrated that the contractor has failed to make
acceptable progress in the performance of the contract, or both. The

MEMORANDUM
February 6, 1995
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council ~
VIA: John Goss, City Manager .j;. þt' ..-.
FR: Barbara Bamberger, Environmental Resource Mana~ ~
Re: Elektruk Agenda Item
~---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This memo is to inform the Council of a recent complaint regarding a vendor the City
is working with. On the Council agenda is an item which accepts and appropriates
funds to purchase an electric shuttle from a local vendor, ElekTruk. Mr. Elmer Parker,
owner of U-Rent Paint Booth on Bay Boulevard has contacted staff alleging the
company, ElekTruk, owes Mr. Parker backrent of approximately $2,000. Mr. Parker
has charged that Mr. Ed Martija, owner of ElekTruk has opened an account with
Grainger Automotive Parts utilizing Mr. Parker's name and credit to establish an
account and subsequently has charged invoices to Mr. Parker's business. Although
this is a civil matter, Mr. Parker has requested the City address these issues as part of
the City's purchase agreement with ElekTruk prior to delivery of the electric shuttle.
Mr. Parker plans to address this matter at the March 7 Council meeting. Staff is
working with both parties to facilitate a resolution to this matter.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 1.1-

Meeting Date 3/07 /95
ITEM TITLE: REPORT Requesting Council to Direct Staff to Prepare a Renewed
Semi-Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Joelen
Enterprises for the Development of a Golf Resort Hotel on
C;"-Ow",, """" ~Bo";," Rood
SUBMITTED BY: Community Developme~ector
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~ ~ I
~. (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No --2U
BACKGROUND: In 1990, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP for acquisition and
development of a 3.1 acre City-owned parcel in the 4400 block of Bonita Road next to the
Municipal golf course. Four proposals were received. On April 23, 1991, Council selected
Joelen Enterprises' proposal to develop a 200 room golf course resort hotel on the City-owned
3 + acres as well as on the adjacent 4 acres leased by the City to American Golf Corporation
(AGC) for operation of the existing restaurant facility. Joelen Enterprises, whose principles
are Josef and Lenore Citron, is the developer of the 448 room, $135 million Loews Coronado
Bay Resort Hotel.
A Semi-Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (SENA) was executed on November 26, 1991, and
was extended by Council on September 1, 1992 to November 30, 1992.
In September, 1992, Joelen Enterprises withdrew from negotiations due to the inability to
obtain financing during a recessionary period in which hotel development loans in San Diego
County were virtually non-existent. Joelen reaffirmed its commitment to the project and
requested the right of first refusal on the property in anticipation of future financing.
On November 1, 1994, staff received an unsolicited letter of proposal from Retail Properties
Group (RPG) to acquire the site and develop a 38,685 sq. ft. retail center. On November 15,
1994, Council was advised of this proposal and of Joelen's renewed commitment to
developing the hotel. Council directed staff to confer with Joelen Enterprises regarding the
status of its commitment and to return with an updated report. This staff report follows such
discussions with Joelen Enterprises.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council direct staff to renegotiate a Semi-Exclusive Negotiating
Agreement (SENA) with Joelen Enterprises for the development of a golf resort hotel on the
City-owned property in the 400 block of Bonita Road, and bring back the SENA for Council
approval.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Chula Vista Economic Development
Commission (EDC) endorsed the concept of a resort golf hotel at the proposed site on
December 4, 1991. On December 7,1994 the EDC voted [7-1-1]; Tuchscher abstained;
Patrick not present] "to express EDC support for concept of a resort hotel and that we add
our 'amens' to the City's efforts in making this a reality' (see Minutes, Attachment A).

DISCUSSION:
A. JOELEN COMMITMENT/PROPOSED TIMING
As indicated, Joelen Enterprises withdrew from negotiations in September 1992 due to the
dramatic downturn in hotel financing. Memorandums went to Council advising them of this
status. At that time, the Citrons indicated their continued commitment and requested a first
right of refusal, anticipating future financing availability.
Joelen Enterprises estimates that they have invested approximately $155,000 in the project
to-date, including the contracting for a Preliminary Market Study (prepared by Pannell Kerr
Forster and accepted by the Council), a preliminary site plan (by architect C. W. Kim) and an
Environmental Initial Study (which identified areas of needed study including traffic, hydrology,
and noise), and initial work related to the required traffic study.
In terms of timing, the Citrons now indicate that initial financing could be available later this
year. They therefore wish to recommence the SENA negotiations immediately. They estimate
a late 1998 opening. (See letters from the Citrons, Attachment B.)
B. RETAIL PROPERTIES GROUP PROPOSAL - NOVEMBER 1994
As you will recall, Council was advised at the November 15, 1994 meeting of a November 1,
1995 unsolicited letter of proposal received from Retail Property Group to develop the site as
a 38,685 strip retail center. The proposed tenants at that time were Boney's Market, Trader
Joe's, Starbuck's Coffee, Crown Books, Soup Plantation and Baltimore Bagels, with a signed
Letter of Intent from Boney's'. RPG offered a cash purchase of $400,000.
Staff wishes to now advise Council that on January 31, 1995 RPG submitted a revised
proposal with a purchase offer of $800,000 (see Attachment C). Purchase is subject to RPG
securing acceptable, signed leases. The proposal stipulates that the City may cancel if RPG
is unable to "procure at least one of the following tenants: Boney's, Trader Joe's, or
Hollywood Video." Boney's, Baltimore Bagels, Starbuck's Coffee, and Hollywood Video have
each provided RPG a Letter of Intent to lease space. Purchase is also subject to RPG obtaining
financing.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that Council proceed to develop a SENA with Joelen Enterprises
providing new benchmarks for their performance. This recommendation is being made in light
of: 1) Joelen's successful 3-year track record with the development and operation of the
Loews Coronado Bay Resort Hotel; 2) Joelen's past and on-going investments in the Bonita
Golf Resort project; 3) Joelen's written indication to Council of promising financing prospects;
and 4) staff's recommended best land use of the site; and 4) the significant potential financial
benefit to the City of the proposed hotel, which is estimated to generate approximately $1.2
million annuallv in TOT taxes (more, if the TOT rate is increased), lease revenues and sales

and property taxes.
FISCAL IMPACT: No cost impacts will be incurred by the City in renegotiating the SENA,
other than staff costs.
In terms of the projected revenues generated to the City by each of the two proposals,
the comparisons are as follows:
1. Golf resort hotel: Estimated stabilized, annual income to the city of
approximately $1.2 million in lease revenues and taxes.
2. Retail complex: One-time cash injection of $800,000 plus an estimated
$10,000 in annual property tax and an estimated $70,000 in gross sales tax.
(The sales tax figure does not account for transfer of sales in the area, i.e., the
actual net increase in revenues to the City could be substantially lower.)

2. NEW BUSINESS
a. Discussion regarding potential disposition of City property adjacent to Municipal golf course
on Bonita Road and status of Joelen Enterprises and the development of a resort hotel.
Member Tuchscher abstained from the discussion due to a potential conflict of interest.
Member Bogart and Ex-officiis Clark and Sellgren arrived at this time.
Chair Davis commented that the EDC voted three years ago to support the concept of the
development of a resort hotel on the Bonita Road site. She continued that the developers
were not able to finance and move forward with their project. In November, a project to build
apartments on this site was brought to Council's attention. Chair Davis attended that meeting
and reported to Council the position that the EDC voted three years ago. She stated that the
new proposal will be on a future Council agenda at which time Council will decide whether
to consider an alternative plan.
Ms. Dye commented that a retail project and an apartment project have been proposed. She
explained that there had been a formal agreement executed between Council and Joelen
Enterprises which has now expired due to Joelen being unable to obtain financing. Joelen
has renewed their commitment to the project and staff will be meeting with them to draft an
informal agreement outlining a timeframe to present to Council for their adoption.
Ms. Dye further explained that presently there are three acres available adjacent to the Bonita
Golf Course on Bonita Road. Joelen proposes to level the present banquet facility and
expand the area to approximately 7 acres upon which they will build an upscale hotel with 250
rooms and banquet facilities.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MINUTES - PAGE 2 December 7, 1994
In response to an inquiry as to whether Joelen has obtained financing, Ms. Dye reported that
Joelen is presently in discussions with lenders that Joelen feels look very promising.
General discussion ensued among Commission members indicating that American Golfwould
commit $1.5 million to upgrade the golf course if the resort project proceeds. It was also
pointed out that the banquet facilities and conference capabilities would be beneficial to the
community. It was further noted that this type of facility could generate approximately $1
million a year in revenues to the City in addition to improving the City's image. It was
suggested that, since the site is owned by the City, the City should wait for the hotel as the
highest and best use. Another observation pointed out that a resort hotel would generate
substantial TOT tax.

b. Discussion regarding chamber request for Economic Development Commission support of the
Chamber/Motel Association proposal to receive a portion of the increased Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues and operate the existing Visitor Information Center.
The Commission discussed the Chamber's letter to the EDC dated November 28, 1994,. The
letter requested support for the following:
. An increase in the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from 8% to 10%.
. That 50% of the TOT increase be earmarked for the Chamber's
operation of the Visitor's Center (1-5 and E Street) and to "sell the City".
The Commission asked staff if any information was available regarding the current amount
of TOT received and whether any of it is currently earmarked for promotion of the City. Staff
responded that a preliminary review had been done and approximately $1 million is received
annually from TOT. Further, staff indicated that the City does not earmark General Fund
revenue sources for specific activities; however, the General Fund currently supports from
$1.3 million to $2.4 million in promotional activities such as the Nature Center, the Chamber's
existing contract, and special events such as Harbor Days, and miscellaneous economic
development publications, etc.
Staff explained that after the Chamber came to the City Council and Council directed staff to
start negotiating with the Chamber to operate the Center, the City received a proposal from
another source, which staff is also looking at, offering to pay the City for the proposer to
manage the Center rather than receiving a subsidy. Concerning the Chamber and
Hotel/Motel Association, staff is presently negotiating regarding the Visitor Center and TOT.
Member Read stated that in the past the Chamber had looked at how the Visitor Center was
run and that many other enterprises who have tried to run the Visitor Center find it is not cost
effective due to a low volume of customers and that most people do not spend a lot of money
at the Visitor Center. The Commission asked staff to characterize the level of foot traffic
experienced by the Center. Staff reported that a SANDAG study had revealed an average
of 300 persons per day visit the Center and a peak of 400 to 500 can be expected in the
summer months. Roughly, 40% ofthe visitors are transit-related buying mainly transit passes,
using the public restrooms, and sometimes purchasing food and small retail items.
Discussion took place regarding the likely revenue made possible by the 2% increase,
estimated at $260,000 year.

re: Bonita Grand Golf Lodge
Dear Chris:
During this last several months there have been a number of developments which have
lead us to the conclusion that we can now successfully pursue the building of the
Bonita Grand Golf Lodge Resort. The appearance of financing opportunities for us to
do this project has been a very pleasant surprise to us, almost startling in its timing as
well as the sources.
As you know, up until just recently we estimated that it could be another year or more
before we might be able to identify a source of funding for this project. Now, it appears
that we should be able to start working on organizing the project by late spring or mid-
year with initial financing perhaps available later this year. This means that we must
get started on our Exclusive Negotiating Agreement almost immediately.
This would allow us to begin the pre-planning and processing procedures soon, start
getting set up with City staff, arrange some ground rules with the City Attorney and
reach an understandings on the "deal" with the City, and together get straightened out
with American Golf Corp. During this time we would have to also be setting up the pre-
funding financing for the architecture, engineering, and environmental processing
costs. As you heard yesterday, our architect estimates one year of work to complete
his work. We would therefore need a year to process, a year to design, and 18
months to build the hotel, give-or-take. This would mean a late 1998 opening.
If we can do our usual "number" (and with City cooperation) -and do several processes
in parallel, we could cut the time down, and even possibly open before the end of '97,
which would be very advantageous timing. We will make every effort to do just that.
So please accept this letter as our statement that we will definitely build the hotel, that
we wish to get the process started now, and advise us as soon as you are ready to
take the next step and what else, if anything, you may need from us at this time.
Best personal regards,

Attn: Cheryl Dye, Community Development Department
re: Bonita Grande Golf Lodge
Dear Tim and Council Members:
We wish to update you all on our progress on the above-referenced project.
Our last meeting with Chris Salamone elicited a letter from us to him, a copy of which is
attached. Since that time, events have only served to strengthen our conviction that this
hotel should be built.
When we responded to the RFP from the City, we were the only respondent whose
proposal met the City's criteria: to develop the property so as to generate a substantial
continuing annual income to the City from the property with a hotel. In order to meet the
criteria, our market studies showed that a property with 250 rooms and 18-20,000 feet of
banquet and meeting space would be needed, and it was apparent that the 3 acres in the
RFP would not be sufficient to build the low-rise development we envisioned. We
therefore went to work with American Golf, which has the lease to operate the golf
course, to get them to agree that we should use the additional contiguous 4 acres adjacent
to the 3 acres and them spend $2-3 million on the course. We would demolish the out-
dated and inefficient existing building and incorporate its functions into our resort hotel.
Our proposal showed that, starting at least from the first operational year of stabilized
occupancy of the property, the City would receive at least a million dollars annually in
lease payments and transit occupancy tax from the operation of the hotel. As our proposal
tied the lease payments to the City to percentage of departmental income of the hotel,
(patterned on the San Diego Port Commission's comparable leases), those annual
payments would only continually increase over the years, with inflation.
To give you a new comfort-level on our ability to deliver what we propose for the Bonita
Road property, we can now update you on our outstanding success on our previous hotel

development in Coronado. At the time of our initial proposal to Chula Vista City in 1990,
we were commencing construction of our 450 room resort hotel in Coronado, the Loews
Coronado Bay Resort Hotel & Marina. Prior to the onset of the recession and the
difficult times the hotel industry went through, I had done my projections of development
cost, time spread, and 10-year projection of operational income and expense.
Weare proud and pleased to tell you that without altering our numbers to confonn with
the hotel industry's problems, we built the hotel on budget, (actually bringing it in $1. 7
million under budget), opened it exactly on the date I set, (total construction time: 16 Y.
months), and just now are completing the third leg of the "hat trick": I had projected
reaching break-even into profitability between the 4th and 5th years, the nonnal profile at
that sunnier time for new hotels. Instead, despite the recession, we are now reaching the
switch to profitability a year early!
At this time, we have a personal investment of over $155,000.00 and several years of our
lives in the Bonita Grande Golf Lodge project, and continue to spend time and money on
it. We constantly work at refining our plans as we learn more of the contemporary
conditions of our business that will help assure the success of the Bonita project. We can
tell you that at our Coronado hotel we continually lose some important group business,
(groups are 65% of the San Diego hotel occupancy profile), which insist on coming to a
hotel with a golf course. We also cannot meet middle and upper management groups
price level, which we will with the Bonita Grande Lodge. (yVe are now booking group
business at $225. OO/night at our Coronado Bay Resort.) We could shift all this business
to Bonita. The golf resort would become the business and social hub of the community.
.While this helps to confinn our faith in the economic viability in the Bonita Golf Lodge
right now, the financing market for hotels still has not revived sufficiently to allow us to
go forward immediately, as we might wish. Economic conditions in the hotel industry
nationally are rapidly improving at this time, faster than anyone thought possible a year or
more ago, but California generally is still lagging behind. Our Coronado property is a
shining exception, and we feel our Chula Vista project would be the same. The only way
of funding construction of the project very soon would be with a bond issue. Otherwise, it
should be another 12 to 24 months for conventional financing to be made available so we
can proceed full speed.
We would greatly appreciate a continuation of our present understanding with the City,
that we have an extended option to develop this property as a hotel, with right of first
refusal in case someone else should attempt to step in and want to use what we have
already done so far, with their own proposal for a hotel on this site. Weare available at
any time should there be questions or need for further input ITom us on our request.
Thank you,
2 12-1

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item I~
Meeting Date 3/Cf7/95
ITEM TITLE · Report: Police Initiated Towing Services -- Rate Schedule and
·
Selection of Service Providers.
-
SUBMITI'ED BY : Chief of pOlice~
REVIEWED BY · City Manager ¡¡r frL n' (4/Sths Vote: Yes_No..xJ
· The City currently contracts with five companies to provide Police-initiated vehicle towing and
storage services. These firms have requested that Council review and amend the existing tow
rate structure. Staff has evaluated this request and is not recommending a tow rate increase at
this time. Additionally, based upon prior Council direction, Police Department staff has
designed a competitive process to select providers of Police initiated towing and impound
services after June 30, 1995. This report discusses both the operator's proposal to increase tow
rates and the components and time-line for the competitive process recommended by staff. The
proposed competitive process is similar to a successful competitive process recently implemented
by the City of San Diego. This proposed process is designed to improve tow services provided
to consumers and the City while enhancing General Fund revenues through the implementation
of a Referral Fee paid by tow companies under contract with the City.
RECOMMENDATIONS That Council:
1. Defer any increase in the Police-Initiated Towing and Storage Rate Schedule at this time.
2. Authorize staff to Conduct the Proposed Competitive Process including a Referral Fee.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
Background. The City of Chula Vista is authorized by Section 22671 of the California Vehicle
Code to issue a franchise or execute contracts for the towing and storage of vehicles having a
deleterious impact upon public safety. Such vehicles include, but are not limited to, those that
have been illegally parked, abandoned, involved in a serious traffic accident and the vehicles of
persons who have been arrested. Chula Vista Municipal Code (Me) Chapter 5.58 prescribes
\~- (
-~----,._--~.._-----------_.-. --.-_._------_.~--
the basic regulations governing the selection and operation of these tow companies. The existing
tow agreements provide for consumers to use the towing company of their choice if the towing
company can arrive in a reasonable period of time.
The Police Department uses five companies to provide Police-initiated towing services:
Anthony's Towing, Arnold's Towing, Glenview Towing, Paxton's Towing and South Bay
Towing. Arnold's, South Bay and Paxton's have had contracts with the City to provide these
or very similar services since September 27, 1966. Anthony's was added to the list of Council
authorized companies on April 4, 1973. Glenview was added subsequent to the most recent
competitive selection process on May 8, 1984. Each of the five companies has operated in
compliance with their agreement during the contract period. Relatively few complaints are
received as a result of PD initiated towing services.
Currently, each of these five companies has an identical agreement with the City and is first-up
on the call rotation six days each month.
Previous City Council Action. The existing agreements were approved by the City Council
on June 13, 1989. In lieu of conducting a competitive process at that time, Council directed
staff to require all five companies to meet higher consumer service and equipment standards in
order to retain the contract. Specifically, each company agreed to: a) a twenty-minute average
and forty-minute maximum response time; b) the acquisition of a variety of upgraded equipment
and apparatus; c) undertake abandoned vehicle abatement activities at the direction of the City;
and d) develop more responsive customer relations practices (Le., maximum one-hour release
processing and releasing impounded vehicles after normal business hours). The Council
authorized staff to enter into three-year agreements with the five tow companies. The actual
contracts have an inde[mite term but include a "termination for convenience" clause which
allowed the City to terminate the contract after three years or at any other time.
The most recent rate increase was approved by unanimous Council consent via Resolution 15804
on August 21, 199O. The rate increase was recommended by staff based upon a survey of
county cities that similarly regulate Police-initiated towing and storage services; the fact that it
had been three years since the previous rate increase; and, the notion that there had been an
increase in towing equipment, equipment operations and equipment maintenance prices over that
three year period.
On September 18, 1990, Council received a staff report in response to a request to expand the
number of tow companies from five to six. In this report staff recommended that the number
of tow companies not be changed. Council directed staff to bring back another report within the
next twelve months discussing the appropriate number of towing companies and the bidding
process.
Council received a follow-up report on November 5, 1991, recommending that five tow
companies be retained. Council discussions at that meeting focused on the need to effect a
competitive process and the various components of that competitive process.

The staff reports and minutes (in those cases where there was Council discussion) from these
meetings are attached for your reference.
Request for Rate Increase. Staff has periodically contacted the tow companies to review and
discuss the status of their agreement. Until July 1994, the consensus among the tow companies
was that the existing system was working adequately. During the four years from August 1990
until July 1994, each of the tow companies stated at various points-in-time that the rate schedule
would eventually need to be amended upward to reflect the increasing cost of doing business.
However, no formal request or proposal was made by any party to increase the Police-Initiated
Tow Rate Schedule until late July, 1994. At that time, staff made contact with the tow operators
to facilitate the implementation of the Negligent Vehicle Impound Fee (NVIP).
The NVIP fee was implemented as part of the FY 1994-95 budget to recover the staff-time costs
associated with processing negligent vehicle impounds. Specifically, the NVIP fee recovers the
administrative costs of impounding and processing each vehicle impounded due to owner
negligence. Such negligent behavior is limited to vehicles impounded based upon an owner or
operator's failure to comply with state statutes relating to the operation, care and use of a motor
vehicle. About 57% of all vehicles towed and impounded at the request of the Police
Department are subject to the NVIP, the remainder of Police-initiated tows are for law abiding
motorists.
As a result of this contact, the tow operators made formal request to increase the Council
approved rate schedule. In response to this request, staff initiated a rate and contract compliance
analysis. Stafrs initial analysis included a survey similar to that conducted in 1990 and a review
of the tow companies performance over the term of the existing agreements. This analysis
concluded that the current Chula Vista Tow Rate Schedule was lower than the majority of
agencies surveyed and that each of the existing companies had generally demonstrated
satisfactory contractual performance. Based on this preliminary analysis, staff met with the five
tow companies to discuss potential amendments to their agreement presuming that stafr s ultimate
recommendation to the City Council would be to enter into new agreements with the same five
companies.
However, subsequent analysis of this issue's history indicated that it would be more appropriate
to identify Police-initiated tow service providers through a competitive process. This
determination was based upon the following facts:
1. the current companies have had contracts to provide Police-initiated towing services for
periods of time ranging from a minimum of eleven years to a maximum of twenty-nine
years;
2. since 1966, only one competitive process been conducted to select the providers of
Police-initiated towing services; and,

3. the competitive process used in 1984 resulted in a contract extension for the four
companies already under contract with the city and the addition of a fifth company.
Notwithstanding staff s recommendations, the rationale for the operator's request for a rate
increase was based primarily on two factors:
A. That the City's rate schedule was out of line with other jurisdictions since, as mentioned
above, the most recent rate increase occurred in August 1990.
B. That the City has required an increasing level of administrative work on their part to
comply with state law and City policies, most notably the implementation of the
Negligent Vehicle Impound Fee.
Staff conducted a survey of cities to determine if a rate increase was appropriate and, if so, what
the new rates should be. The survey results are presented below. There are as many
approaches to the provision of Police-initiated towing and impound services as there are cities:
methods run the spectrum from city operated towing and impound operations to single-vendor
franchises to unregulated competition. Therefore, only those fees common to San Diego county
cities that regulate the provision of Police-initiated towing services by municipal Ordinance were
included in the survey.
Due to variance in the application of ancillary charges (i.e., mileage, labor and storage) it is
difficult to accurately compare one jurisdictions rate schedule with another. Such ancillary
charges interact with the basic rate to create the tow operator's revenue stream. For example:
in Chula Vista, mileage charges accrue only after the first mile; in San Diego and National City,
mileage charges accrue after five miles; EI Cajon charges for all mileage; and, in Escondido
there is no charge for mileage. In order to effectively compare the rates charged in the cited
jurisdictions, staff developed a normalizing process that is reflected in the last row of the table.
This row, entitled "Average Cost" reflects the cost to a citizen of a routine tow. The routine
tow used by staff in this normalizing process includes: a basic tow of five miles, one-quarter
hour of labor, and one day's maximum storage charge. The maximum storage charge was
included because the maximum rate is charged after four to six hours of storage and most
vehicles remain in storage longer than four hours. The normalized rates cited in the Average
Cost row corrects for most of the known inter-jurisdiction variances in the application of
ancillary charges.

Included in
Tow Rate
The column entitled "Chula Vista Proposed" presents the rate structure staff would recommend
if the City were to grant a rate increase and institute a Referral Fee (discussed in detail below)
now instead of going through the recommended competitive process.
The five existing tow companies are adamant that a rate increase should be implemented
immediately. The Average Cost figures presented above provide a normalized comparison
between Chula Vista's current rates and the rates of other comparable cities that regulate Police-
initiated towing services. Chula Vista's current rates and the "Average Cost" of a Police-
initiated tow in Chula Vista are currently less than in the survey cities. However, it is important
to emphasize that San Diego's rate includes a Referral Fee of $17 to $35, depending on the
geographic zone. The net revenue to the tow operator for the average tow therefore ranges from
$63 to $81 in San Diego. Chula Vista's current rate structure is thus not as much lower than
the other cities rates as it might seem. Furthermore, none of the tow operators have asked to
be released from their existing contracts.
Adopting the rates presented in the Chula Vista Proposed column would place Chula Vista's
Police-initiated tow rate structure at the median level for comparable jurisdictions in San Diego
county. However, Chula Vista's Proposed rate structure would provide for an average cost of
$93.00, an average cost $5.00 less than in the City of San Diego. In order to place rates in the
context of the overall Police-initiated towing market, the analysis should recognize that the San

Meeting Date: 3/07/95
Diego Police Department initiates approximately 50,000 tows annually -- more than three times
the number of tows initiated by the police department's of the City of Chula Vista, Escondido
and National City combined. Therefore, Chula Vista's proposed rate structure, including the
proposed Referral Fee, compares very favorably on the basis of both a city-to-city comparison
and when viewed in the context of a market-wide analysis.
However, in the absence of the proposed Referral Fee, implementation of the Chula Vista
proposed rate structure would push the City's rates to second highest in the County among
comparable cities (recall that San Diego's price structure includes a $17 - $35 Referral Fee).
Therefore, it is staff's recommendation to implement the rate structure presented in the
Chula Vista Proposed column only at the conclusion of the recommended competitive process
with the establishment of a Chula Vista Referral Fee.
Referral Fee. Staff is recommending the Referral Fee as a method to increase Police
Department generated General Fund revenues. The Police Department refers approximately
3,500 tows annually to private tow operators. The proposed Referral Fee would be collected
on a per vehicle basis and would reflect the City's costs of administering the towing program
and its role in developing the business of the private firms chosen to provide Police-initiated
towing and impound services. Consumers may contact any towing company they choose,
provided their choice will not unreasonably delay the attending Police Officer, but the Police
Department's referral is valuable in terms of the business opportunities for tow companies on
the list. Additionally, the Referral Fee would assist in developing full cost recovery (FCR)
associated with the Police Department's Towing and Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program.
Total program costs compared with current reimbursements are described in the table below.

Meeting Date: 3/07/95
Currently, the Police Department receives approximately $100,000 annually for reimbursement of
Abandoned Vehicle Abatement efforts and approximately $100,000 annually for reimbursement of costs
associated with negligent vehicle impounds. Based on a Referral Fee of $17.00 (the most common rate
in San Diego city), the Referral Fee would generate $59,500 in annual General Fund revenue.
Therefore, if the Referral Fee concept by staff is adopted, the Police Department would recover
approximately 98% of the costs associated with providing Police-initiated towing services if Chula
Vista's Referral Fee is at San Diego's most common level. The Referral Fee would not be applicable
to the towing of City vehicles or on the towing and impoundment of abandoned vehicles.
Competitive Process. There has been significant interest in a competitive process from local and
regional towing firms. Moreover, the five existing firms have stated that they are prepared to respond
to a competitive bid and operate in a more competitive environment. Staff is proposing to implement
a process similar to that recently used by the City of San Diego. That process used an administrative
analysis to determine an appropriate rate structure. Firms were then requested to demonstrate their
capability to provide the necessary services, comply with the appropriate rate structure and, within that
rate structure, bid a per Police-initiated tow Referral Fee to be paid to the City. This method has the
advantage of allowing a comparison among responsible bidders based on a single, directly comparable
moving point: each bidder's proposed Referral Fee. The San Diego Police Department received
separate bids for each of nine pre-determined geographic zones or tow districts. The referral fees bid
for these nine districts range from $17.00 to $35.00, however, the most frequently occurring referral
fee is $17.00.
Contract A ward. The proposed competitive process would include two distinct phases: a Qualifying
Phase and a Fiscal Impact Evaluation. The Qualifying Phase would consist of an analysis to determine
if the proposer meets specific minimum business operation, equipment, contractor performance and
customer relations requirements. These requirements would be articulated in any agreement negotiated
for Police-initiated towing and impound services and include:
· Having a minimum of three years in the towing business and ownership of a fleet of at least four
(4) tow trucks in a variety of tow-capacity ratings and configurations.
· Maintaining an impound and release facility in the City of Chula Vista and providing
unobstructed and convenient customer access thereto.
· The ability to remove motor vehicles on a twenty-four-hour-a-day, seven-days-per-week basis.
· The ability to respond to requests for towing services within twenty (20) minutes.
· Towing inoperable City vehicles twenty-four-hours-day at no cost to the City.

. Removing and impounding up to ten (10) vehicles per day at no cost to the City from both
private property and the public right-of-way as may be required by the Police Department and
the Department of Building and Housing.
The remaining requirements are described in Attachment 1. Proposers would be required to clearly
demonstrate, through their proposal and, if necessary follow-up site visits, their ability to meet these
requirements. Additionally, this phase would ensure the proposer agreed to implement the rate structure
presented as Chula Vista Proposed shown above. Firms passing the Qualifying Phase would be certified
as responsible bidders.
All responsible bidders would qualify for the Fiscal Impact Evaluation. This evaluation would assess
only the respondents proposed Referral Fee. The firm proposing the highest Referral Fee would be
identified as the successful bidder. Staff would negotiate with the successful bidder to develop an
operational agreement based upon the RFP's requirements. Next, staff would negotiate with the
remaining responsible bidders in descending rank Referral Fee bid order to determine if those firms
would provide Police-initiated towing services under the Referral Fee negotiated with the successful
vendor. This process would continue until a maximum of three firms were identified or the list was
exhausted.
Staff would ultimately bring forward a Resolution approving agreements with not more than three firms
and amending the Police-initiated Towing Service Rate Schedule to reflect those rates presented as Chula
Vista Proposed in this report.
Number of Tow Companies. Staff recommends that agreements with no more than three tow
companies be brought forward for Council approval based upon their capabilities as demonstrated in
the Qualifying Phase and their ability to enhance General Fund revenues via their proposed Referral
Fee. A survey conducted by the California State University at Bakersfield in 1992 indicates that most
cities with populations in excess of 50,000 have fewer than five tow contractors. This study further
indicates that three (3) is the most frequently occurring number of city authorized tow companies among
cities with populations over 50,000. (see Attachment 3) Additionally, regulating the activities of three
(or fewer) rather than five tow companies, even taking into account the exemplary compliance record
of the existing firms, is likely to reduce the regulatory burden on staff. Staff anticipates that the time
required for site visits, equipment inspections, routine follow-up and abandoned vehicle abatement
service coordination activities will be reduced with fewer companies. Therefore, reducing the number
of companies to three or fewer based on the proposed competitive process will result in a more effective
utilization of Police Department staff.
However, staff would have no serious objections to including as many as five firms in the future Police-
initiated towing rotation. Staff would have significant concerns with identifying more than five firms.
Staff and the existing companies agree that there is simply not enough Police-initiated business to
support five towing firms. The final number of tow companies will be addressed further when staff
returns for Council review of the proposed contracts.

Page 9, Item
Meeting Date: 3/07/95
Staff would implement the proposed competitive process on the following schedule:
· Issue Request for Proposals: March 16, 1995
· Responses to RFP Due: April 16, 1995
· Proposals Evaluated: April 16 through April 30, 1995
· Contract(s) Negotiated: May 1 through June 1, 1995
· Contract(s) Reviewed by Council: June 13, 1995
Conclusions. Approval of the staff recommendations would:
a. implement a competitive process to select the providers of Police-initiated towing and storage
services consistent with past Council direction;
b. result in an appropriate revision to the City's Police-Initiated Towing and Impound Rate
Schedule; and,
c. develop additional General Fund revenue to offset the costs of providing and administering the
Police Department's Towing Program -- a service that benefits a very limited, and well-defined
spectrum of the community.
Alternatives. There are a variety of alternative approaches to the staff recommendations. These
alternatives include:
1. Retain the five existing tow companies under the auspices of a new agreement with a Referral
Fee. This alternative could be implemented; however, numerous local tow companies have been
waiting for an opportunity to compete for the City's Police towing business and the amount of
the Referral Fee would need to be determined.
2. Allow the competitive process to set the rate structure instead of or in addition to the Referral
Fee. There are three approaches within this alternative:
a. Council establishes a Referral Fee in advance of the competitive process and all
responsible bidders would be evaluated based upon their proposed tow-related rates.
b. The Referral Fee is bid as part of the competitive process and all responsible bidders
would be evaluated based on both their proposed rates and proposed Referral Fee. Staff
does not recommend this approach due to the difficulties inherent in simultaneously
evaluating two floating points (Le., rates and Referral Fee).
\3A
-,,---~.__._-,--
Page 10, Item
Meeting Date: 3/07/95
c. Council rejects the recommended Referral Fee and all responsible bidders would be
evaluated based upon their proposed rates.
3. Implement a rate increase but not implement the proposed Referral Fee or a competitive process.
This alternative would provide for a rate increase (in an, amount that would have to be
determined) without implementing a Referral Fee or going through a competitive process.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Referral Fee would generate annual General Fund revenue to help
recover the City's costs for the Police Department's towing program. The
amount of revenue would vary depending on the bids received but would be about
$59,500 if the final Referral Fee is $17.00.

Ar REPORT POUCE INITIATED VEHICLE TOWS; REVIEW OF APPROPRIATE NUMBER
' OF TOW COMPANIES TO RETAIN UNDER CONTRACT AT CONQ,USION OF EXISTING TIiREE YEAR
' AGREEMENTs - The latest tow agreements were executed in October 1989. On 9/18/90, Council approved
two staff recommendations: 1) that no additional tow companies be added to the list at that time; and 2)
that the issue be reviewed again prior to expiration of the current operating agreements. This i tern is
intended to provide Council with that review. Staff recommends that upon expiration of the current
operating agreements, Council Continue to retain five (5) tow companies. (Chief of Police)
Ed Wood, 140 Reed Court, Chula Vista, CA, representing Glenview Towing, spoke in support of the staff
recommendation. He stated that the businesses were having a difficult time with their revenues down 40%
and he did nor feel they could afford the additional competition.
Bo Lemler, 3487 Main Street, Chula Vista, CA, representing Paxton Towing, spoke in support of the staff
recommendations. He noted that all their expenses were rising with their revenues down 42% and it would
be a hardship if other companies were added.
Brad Ramsey, 1421 California Street, Imperial Beach, CA, representing A to Z Towing, spoke in support of
the staff recommendation. He suggested that staff and the Police Department look at lowering the number
of companies in the future.
Clay Platt, 449 D Street, Chula Vista, CA, representing Platt's Towing, spoke in opposition to the staff
recommendation. He stated that he was nor one of the five current tow companies and felt that the system
should be set so that if one company felt they could service the entire city, they should be able to submit
a proposal indicating this. The setting of any number was unacceptable. He questioned whether the tow
contracts would come under the California Public Contract Law.
Ruth Fritsch, Assistant City Attorney, responded that she would have to research this and return to Council.

other uses being taxed should be reviewed, Le. billboards, cardrooms, rock concerts, etc. rather than
"sticking" the local businesses. He felt this was a different set of priorities than he had.
MS (Nader/Grasser Horton) to defer the 1991-92 Business License Tax increase for one year.
Mayor Nader stated that if the economy was better Council would be justified in increasing the tax but at
this time the City should be encouraging businesses at this time.
Councilman Malcolm stated he would support the motion if it was promised that staff would work and bring
forth to Council proposed cuts in the budget to balance the deficit.
Mayor Nader stated he could accept that if credit was given for turning over the operation of the Youth
Center to the Boy's and Girl's Club.
SUBS1TI1ITE MOTION: (Malcolm/Nader) 1) to continue the public hearing for two weeks, and 2) direct
staff to bring back a revised schedule that will look at raising some of the uses while trying to come up with
a balance within the schedule (keeping in mind that it is the Council's wishes that the taxes be reduced as
close as possible to the CUITent levels).
Councilman Moore questioned whether there would be a $146,000 shortfall in the budget if the Business
License Tax was not increased. He felt the proposed action by Council was appropriate and that the options
brought back for review should be varied regarding potential cuts.
City Manager Goss responded that the budget, in tenns of being balanced, was out of balance by
approximately $60,000 of revenues over expenditures, therefore there was a plus figure for this fiscal year.
Councilman Rindone stated he would like to see the net reduction due to the Business License Tax be offset
by increases in other areas as mentioned and/or other budget reductions so this would be zeroed out to be
reflective of the downturn of the economy.
Mayor Nader stated that the intent of the motion was partially counterbalanced with increases in other
categories with staff coming back with a report that would indicate appropriate budget cuts or at least with
staff recommendations.
City Manager Goss stated it would not be actually reducing the rates but raising selected rates and
addressing possible budget cuts.
VOTE ON SUBSTITlITE MOTION: approved unanimously.
21. PUBliC HEARING FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING ABATEMENT OF THE TRANSIENr
OCCUPANCY TAX - In October 1990, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2407 increasing the Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT) to a maximum rate of 10% and providing for annual abatement hearings at which
time the tax could be lowered. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Finance)
Lyman Christopher, Director of Finance, infonned Council that all local hotels and motels had been notified
of the public hearing and only one response had been received which was in support of staff
recommendation.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open.
There being no public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

Item _
Meeting Date 11105/91
ITEM TITLE : Report -- Police Initiated Vehicle Tows; review of appropriate
number of tow companies to retain under contract at conclusion of
existing three year agreements.
.
SUBMITTED BY : Acting Chief of pOliceÿ
REVmWED BY : City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No..xJ
Refemll No. 2129
Currently the City contracts with five companies to provide Police initiated vehicle tows:
Anthony's, Arnold's, Glenview, Paxton and South Bay. These towing services are provided
under separate but identical three year agreements executed in October, 1989. At it's meeting
of March 28, 1989, Council directed the Police Chief to hold these companies to improved
response time, upgraded equipment, directed abandoned vehicle abatement and performance
standards; and, to drop from this towing referral list any companies unable or unwilling to meet
these new standards. The Chief returned to Council on June 13, 1989, with a report indicating
that all five companies had, some at significant expense, agreed to meet the new standards, and,
that the Department would ensure their compliance with the amended standards. Council last
visited this issue in September, 1990, in response to a written communication requesting that the
towing referral list be expanded. On September 18, 1990, Council approved two staff
. recommendations: one) that no additional tow companies be added to the list at that time; and,
two) that the issue be reviewed again prior to expiration of the current operating agreements.
This agenda item is intended to provide Council with such a review.
RECOMMENDATION:
Upon expiration of the current operating agreements, continue to retain five (5) tow companies.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
This review will focus primarily on three issues: the purpose of a such a program; issues
inherent in expanding and (if necessary at a later date) reducing the number of companies on the
referral list; and, general staff concerns.

Page 2 Item
Meeting Date 11/05/91
The purpose for having a towing referral list is to provide fast, efficient emergency and
abandoned vehicle tow services on an as-needed basis. Long response times to emergency tow
requests adversely impact Police Officer's ability to return to active duty. Emergency referrals
include accidents, arrests and other calls for service where vehicles are involved and are, for any
number of reasons, unable to be moved to the appropriate location without Police intervention.
Each company on the referral list is granted an approximately equal share of the emergency
referrals each month through a first called rotation. During a typical month, each company is .
at the top of the list for six days. Additionally, each company has agreed to provide up to ten
abandoned vehicle abatements per day for each day they are first up on the referral list ( each
company is first up appoximately six days per month). Abandoned vehicles can be identified
by Police Officers, Code Enforcement Officers of the Building and Housing Department or
citizens. In any case, these five companies abate abandoned vehicles at no cost to the City as
part of the towing program.
Expanding and reducing the referral list presents several issues. Initially, the number of
companies which can provide the services and still make a reasonable profit must be estimated.
If too few companies are employed, City initiated tow business is not appropriately distributed
and profit is high. Should too many firms be retained, the City's business is not profitable to
any of the firms and quality of service inevitably suffers. Staff must also identify the method
to be used in evaluating a tow company's ability to provide the services required. In the present
case, companies on the previous referral list were asked to meet enhanced minimum
qualifications (most incurring significant costs to do so). A Request for Proposal methodology
has also been used successfully by other jurisdictions in the County. Additionally, contingencies
must be provided in case the number of Police initiated tows falls below that previously
identified level where all finns can continue to profitably provide the required services.
Determining the method to eliminate finns from the list is problematic. For example, what
decrease in Police initiated tows triggers a list reduction (that previously identified level or
something below it) and what technique is used to determine which, and in what order,
companies are eliminated from the rotation (first in/first out, last in/first out or random)? While
firms might drop out of their own volition, this strategy would benefit larger, or more
established, operations better able to absorb business segment operating losses.
As stated in previous communications on this subject, the Police Department's main concern is
that tow companies provide quality service for our officers and citizens. Staff is not convinced
that adding additional tow companies would enhance the quality of tow services. Response times
have been, in the main, within contractual guidelines, and, while there have been occasional
complaints regarding each of the companies, perfonnance continues to be satisfactory. Staff is
sensitive to businesses, especially those owned by Chula Vista residents, which would like to
be included on the referral list, however, the number of Police initiated tows has been relatively
constant over the past three years:

Companies currently under contract have averaged approximately 726 tows per year (or 60 per
month) over the past three years. Adding a sixth company would reduce that average 17.4% .
to about 600 per year. Without a significant increase in the number of Police initiated tows, and
in the absence of any other quality/performance issues, Staff does not believe that a
recommendation to increase the number of companies on the towing referral list is indicated.

William Winters, Chief of Police, responded that they are advising their officers not to cite for a violation
of this section if the car is on a public street, as the department has to show that it was the primary purpose
which is difficult to do. If parked in front of someone's home or on a public street, the Department prefers
to use the 72 hour section to handle those violations and that is the intent of the memorandum.

UST FROM FIVE TO SIX COMPANIES . At the 8/28/90 Co~ncil meeting, Council received a written
. communication from Mr. Casey Jones requesting that he be added to the police emergency tow referral list,
Staff recommends Council not add any company to the two list at this time and review the issue again when
the current contract expires in October of 1992. (Chief of Police) Pulled from Consent Calendar hAS:
Ed Wood, 140 Center Street, Chula Vista, California, representing Glenview Towing, spoke in favor of the
staff recommendations. If Council expanded the list and put on anyone that wanted to be on, it would
create pandemonium. He felt the process currently utilized was equitable and should be followed. There
are currently five companies on. the list, each is on for six days, with the companies rotating. Towing
assignments are currently once a month. He noted the towing companies also tow abandoned cars for the
City at no charge which takes away from the gross revenues. He felt it would create a financial hardship
on the existing companies.
Duane Pudgil, 378 San Miguel Drive, Chula Vista, California, representing South Bay Towing, spoke in favor
of the staff recommendations. He has been serving the City for twenty-one years and stated he was a local
small businessman. They currently have a three year contract for towing and he would like tp see the
contract honored.
Councilman Nader questioned whether the contracts contain conditions regarding exclusivity.
City Attorney Boogaard responded that the contracts do not contain any verbiage regarding exclusivity. He
was informed that during the negotiating process, there was a verbal commitment to the companies.

William Winters, Chief of Police, responded that the only things represented to the towing companies was
that the City would be doing business with the five companies. He was unaware of any other verbal
agreements.
Councilman Malcolm questioned what the opinion was regarding a commitment to only five tow companies.
Chief Winters responded that staff had recommended that the number be reduced from five to three and it
Was Council's desire to retain the existing five companies. He felt the Council had made a commitment to
the towing companies.
Bo Lemler, 34867 Main Street, Chula Vista, California, representing Paxton Towing, spoke in favor of the
staff recommendation. He stated the City of Chula Vista had the lowest rates of all cities in the state. When
Council requested new conditions, the companieS' agreed and purchased the equipment needed and hired
personnel as needed. He stated the caBs are down approximately 30% from two years ago and if another
co·mpany is brought in, the companies would not. be able to give the same service and response time. He
did not feel it was fair to bring on another company at this time.
Peggy RoBing, 316 K Street, Chula Vista, California, representing Arnold's Towing spoke in favor of the staff
recommendation. They have purchased two tow trucks in order to comply with Council's conditions. This
Was done in anticipation of being able to continue to tow for the City.. She felt there would be a financial
hardship if another Company Was added.
John Clark, 904 Redbud Road, Chula Vista, California, representing J. E. Towing Inc., spoke in favor of the
staff recommendation. He felt it would be wrong to add another company to the list at this time. He noted
the high cost of equipment and operations. He also requested that Council keep in mind the needs of the
tow companies when rezoning areas of the city.
Casey Jones Jr., 178 Minot Avenue, Chula Vista, California, representing Eagle Towing, spoke in opposition
to the staff recommendation. He stated he had researched the number of cars towed within the City over
the last year and felt the Council would be surprised at the large number.
Dawn Herring, Prindpal Management Assistant for the Police Department, stated ·there were 3,698 tows in
1989 with 2,449 tows from January to August 1990, which is a 3% decrease from 1989.
Mayor Cox stated there were six or seven companies on the waiting list and questioned whether these
companies would be considered in 1992.
City Manager Goss responded that those companies expressing interest would be included for review in
1992.
Mayor Cox felt the system utilized worked very well. If Eagle Towing were t() be added to the list, it could
be expected that the same request would be received from the five other companies on the waiting list He
would recommend that Council accept the staff recommendation and ask staff to begin a process to evaluate
the towing service in conjunction with 1992 and come back to Council nine to twelve months prior to the
expiration of the contracts in October 1992 and layout what their recommendations would be in regards
to the continuation of towing services in the City along with alternatives. Options should be made available
for the Council to consider.
Councilwoman MCCandliss stated Council had felt that the five companies could respond to the City's needs
and the companies had complied with the conditions set by Council. She also felt it was an exclusive
agreement and that Council had a responsibility to honor it

Councilman Malcolm replied that the testimony had made a difference in how he felt regarding the issue.
He felt there could be changes, but he had not remembered requiring the five towing companies to purchase
equipment, etc. He complimented Mr. Jones for working with the staff and Council regarding his request.
He also felt that the City should have a minority set-aside program. He would vote yes for the staff
recommendations because of the amount of money spent by the five contracted towing companies to meet
Council's conditions.
MSC (Malco1m/Moore) to accept staff recommendations and direct staff to bring back a report within the
next twelve months on how the City will deal with the problem, how many towing companies are proper,
and when the contract will go out to bid. A minority set-aside prograµ¡ (Le. County of San Diego) is to be
brought back to Council within the next ninety days for review.
,
City Attorney Boogaard stated he had done extensive research on the set-aside programs and in the last ten
years there were three major Supreme Court cases which limited the ability to permit set-aside programs
on an ethnic based classification. He would like the opportunity to review the report with the Police
Department and provide a legal analysis.
Councilman Nader stated he would expect to see included in the report a program that assures opportunity
to minority owned businesses and a basis for Council to determine the optimum number of towing
companies for a city the size of Chula Vista.

ITEM TITLE: Report Pros and Cons of expanding the
Police Emergency Referral Towing list.
SUBMITTED BY: Chief of ~jw
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: YeS_NoXX)
Referral II 2106
At the August 28, 1990 Council meeting the Council
received a written communication from Mr. Casey Jones
requesting that- he be added to the existing Police
Emergency Towing Referral list. Staff was directed by
Council to research the issue and present the pros and
cons of adding additional tow companies to th~ emergency -
tow referral list.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not add any additional tow companies
at this time, however recommend reviewing this issue when
the existing agreements expire in October of 1992.
/
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In October of 1989 the City Council, by resolution,
entered into an operating agreement with each of the five
tow companies who were on the referral list at that time.
These companies include: Anthony's, Arnold's, Glenview,
Paxton's and Soutft Bay.
As part of this new contract each company was required to
enhance the level of service provided in Chula Vista. This
enhancement included the requirement to have four (4 ) tow
trucks of varying kinds, increased levels of insurance, as
well as specific types of equipment to be carried on each
truck.
In order to meet these qualifications each of the five
companies invested in new equipment and insurance at a
personal cost averaging around $35,000 each. This was done
with the anticipation of receiving 20% of the tow
referrals for lhe nex~·~ years.· The Police department has
assigned each of the five (5 ) traff ic officers to a tow
\ 15

---_.~~_._--~..._._----_._..- -_.__..._.~~--~---_..-.- -----~-_.._-------_._-~...
company to monitor each company and conduct periodic
inspections. To date the Department Is satisfied with the
quality of service provided by all five companies.
While the Department recognizes the merit of helping a
Chula Vista resident to start his own business, in this.
circumstance we do not believe that there is sufficient
information indicating that a change in the current status
of the tow list would be of benefit to the City.
Council also requested clarification of the ownership and
the pr imary business location of the existing 5 tow
companies. As you will note in this chart the existing
five companies all operate in Chula Vista and are owned
and operated by Chula Vista or Bonita residents, except in
one case.

is currently working out of state. The business is
being operated by the daughter of the founder.
3) Primary location is in Spring Valley, with branches in
EI Cajon and Chula Vista
4 ) Owner started a second tow company (Rancho) in last few
years which operates in poway and Miramar
As a note, each of these companies tows for Chula Vista
six days per month, and picks up abandoned vehicles one
days per week.
PROS AND CONS OF ADDING ADDITIONAL TOW COMPANIES
Pros
* Additional tow companies will have an opportunity to
participate in the emergency towing service.
Cons
* The City negotiated in good faith with the existing
five companies and has indicated that they will be the -
providers of tow service until October of 1992.
* Adding one or more additional tow companies will not
\
16
\--;.. ~
--_._"~--~
--
improve the quality of the emergency towing service in
Chula Vista.
* Adding any additional tow companies wll1 reduce the
amount of revenue each tow company receives. With the
goal of providing the best service to Chula Vista we
believe that further dividing of the "revenue pie" would
tend to reduce the responsiveness of the tow companies
to the requests of the City.
* Additional staff time would be required to inspect and
monitor the additional tow companies and investigate
complaints.
If Council elects to add any additional tow companies,
this can be accomplished by Council Resolution. The five
existing companies were selected by Council Resolution and
the City Attorney has advised staff that there is no legal
restriction to increasing the number of tow companies on
the referral list. If aVì-e!i\i.31uh is made to the referral
list, staff recommends that the selection be made through
the RFP process. ð~ÞU.+~~
Currently s ta f f has a waiting list of six (6 ) tow -,-- .-
companies in addition to Mr. Jones, who are interested in
the towing rotation. The list includes:
Company Primary Business Location MBE/WBE
Ecology /
Santa Fe Springs, CA NO
Aloha Chula Vista MBE (l)
Platt Chula Vista NO
A to Z Towing Clairmont Mesa (2 ) NO
Rhodeway Chula Vista NO
J C Towing Chula Vista WBE ( 3 )
1) MBE stands for Minority owned Business Enterprise
2) Has a branch in Chula Vista
3 ) WBE stands for Woman owned Business Enterprise
In summary, staff recommends that the City maintain the
five company rotation until the current agreements
terminate in October of 1992.
Attached for information is the Council Agenda Statement
from June l3, 1989 which established the current tow
company referral list.

At the March 27, 1990 Ci ty Counc il meeting, Dwayne Pudgil of

*Charge unique to Chula Vista
A survey was completed of local jurisdictions (San Diego,
El Cajon and National City) which have similar circumstances as
Chula Vista.
The rates proposed appear reasonable based on the average rate
from the survey. The only rate which we questioned is the heavy
duty tow rate of $150/hour. Since the survey average is $110. we
would recommend increasing the rate from the $100 currently
charged to $120, which is the same fee in San Diego.
We ~elieve the increase is justified since it has been three
years since the last increase and in that time span we have seen
s ignif icant increases in the purchase price for tow trucks and
increased gasoline and repair costs. These proposed rates should
become effective immediately upon adoption by City Council.

Counci 1 I/oman McCandl iss emphasized the decision is difficult but
she cannot support a cul de sac as appropriate from any

did not support the c u1 de sac and stated his concerns of the

HINUTES - 16 - June 13,1989
The amended ordinance requires higher standards and to keep the
existing five companies rather than going to an RFP process. By
implementation of the higher standards and holding the tow
companies accountable for maintaining those standards, the
department bel i eves the service provi ded wi 11 al so improve. Major
proposed revisions to the current agreement include response time,
equipment requirement and positive citizen/Police relations.
Duane PUdgil, South Bay Towing, 378 San ~1iguel Drive, reported
three companies had contacted him to state their concurrence with
thi s item but request the requirement for a three year agreement
be changed to a non-ending situation.
Joe Kellejian, 825 Energy Way, Ecology Auto Wrecking, stated his
support of the staff recommendation for five tow companies if they
meet the new qualifications but asked for clarification if the
companies do not perform as noted. He questioned whether the
Di rector of· Publ ic Safety eval uati on of repl acement appl icants for
the position woul d come before Council. He al so referred to the
City's applications being sent to all tow companies in San Diego
County and hi s feel i ng the compani es shoul d be sel ected from thi s
area.
Director of Publ ic Safety Winters offered that a problem
sometimes exi sts, as happened in the past, a company was sol d
and the ne~1 owner took over a current contract. Councilman
Nader emphasized that, al though the Council may by resol ution
authorize the Public Safety Director to make the selection,
Council would certainly retain the authority to change or
amend the process at any time.
Clay Platt, Platt's Towing, 395 Mitchell Street, Chula Vista,
stated he is not in support of the recommendation.
Mayor Cox referred to the process of selecting a new company,
and his expectation that final action should be taken by the
City Council as taken in similar actions with licenses to
operate on behalf of the City. City Manager Goss reported it
is discretionary justified on how much detail Council wants to
get into but certainly judgements have to be made. Director
Winters reported he would not be reluctant to share any
decisions with Council.
Councilman Moore referred to the comments of one speaker
asking to "restrict to Chula Vista companies only" and City
Attorney Harron confirmed the restriction has been reviewed
for contracts across the board. Only in very limited
circumstances and with sufficient findings, can the City limit
to just certain companies. The use of bonus points require
the same technique.
MOTION

Council. (Councilman Malcolm absent)

HS (Nader/McCand1iss) to amend the resolution to authorize the

Director Winters questioned whether ten companies should be
selected if all qualify with the standards; tha t this would
signi ficant1y impact their business a f te r the company's

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

Meeting Date 6/13/89
ITEM TITLE: a) Ordi nance Amending Section 5.58 of the Municipal
Code relating to regulation of tow companies
b) Resolution Authori zi ng the Director of Public
Safety to enter into a 3-year agreement for Pol ice requested
towing service with the five existing companies on the tow

SUBMITTED BY: Director of PUbli~ afety
REVIEWED BY: Ci ty Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
Council Referr~#~6
At the March 28, 1989, Ci ty Counci 1 meeting, Council was presented wi th a
report recommending the revision of the process with which tow companies are
sel ected. That report recommended i ni ti ati ng an RFP process to sel ect the
three most qualified tow companies, in addition to making the qualifications
more stri ngent. Counci 1 di rected staff to return wi th an amended ordi nance
requiring higher standards and to keep the existing five companies rather than
going to a RFP process.
RECOMMENDATION:
l. Place on first reading.
2. Adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The existing policy for Police-initiated tows allows any tow company meeting
the minimum qualifications to be placed on the active list at any time. Each
company is then granted thei r equal share of emergency referral s for a
specific number of days each month. The resulting effect on the tow companies
when a new company is added is a reducti on in the number of days per month
that the tow company gets referral s. For tow companies that rely to a great
extent on police business, each additional tow company added to the list means
a reduction in their business and profits.
The Police Department's main concern is that the tow companies provide quality
service for our officers and citizens. If a tow company consistently has long
response times, thi s affects the Pol ice Offi cer 's abil ity to return to acti ve
patrol, since they must wait for the tow truck to arrive to clean up an area
after an accident. In addition, a driver with limited understanding of their
equipment can mean additional damage to a citizen's vehicle.

Proposed High Qualifications Requirements
By implementing the following higher standards and holding the tow companies
accountable for maintaining those standards, the department believes that the
service provided will also improve. The existing five tow companies
recommended implementing the higher standards and have agreed to the proposed
changes listed below.
The hi gher qual ifications proposed for the new agreement are basically an
enhancement of the existing minimum qualifications found in the existing
agreement.
The following are the major proposed revisions to the current agreement:

Ordinance Amendments
Chapter 5.58 of the Municipal Code rel ated to tow trucks is proposed to be
amended. The changes include:
Section 5.58.030 Regulations Generally.
Cl arifi cati on of 1 anguage and removi ng the liabil ity for damages issue
which will be addressed in new Section 5.58.075.
Section 5.58.070 Insurance Required.
Section 5.58.080 Bond Required.
Both sections are recommended to be deleted from the Code. Si nce the
requi rement levels for bonds and insurance fl uctuate, it is more
appropri ate to refer to these requi rements in the contract that they
may be easily revised as necessary.
Section 5.58.075 Indemnification and Hold Harmless, Insurance, and Bond
Requirements
Any agreement to provide tow service shall i ncl ude a hol d harml ess
cl ause and bond and insurance requi rements as requi red by City Ri sk
Manager and City Attorney.
Recommendation
The Department will evaluate the existing five companies to insure that they
meet the proposed requirement. Shoul d any of the fi ve fail to meet these new
standards we will not enter into an agreement with them. In order to select a

The Department bel i eves that by implementing the proposed chanqes in thi s
program, the result will be more efficient and effective tow service for the
police officers and the citizens.
FISCAL IÞFACT: No change is recommended for the current tow rate fee
schedule. In the past, changes in the rates have been made only after staff
has analyzed requests from the tow companies and presented a recommendation to
the Counc i1 .

Re : Towing Services - March 7, 1995 Agenda Item #13
Dear Mayor Horton and Members of Chula Vista City Council ,
On behalf of Ihe 5 CUlI'ent providers of towing services to Ihe Chula Vista Police
Dt:partment , we request your support of Alternative 1 of the Council Agenda Statement.
We are prepared to offer the City ofChula Vista, Full Cost Recovery (FCR) as índicated
as the shortfan on pages 6 and 7. The City's cost for the police towing program is
approximately $266,000. CUlI'ently the City receives approximately $100,000 trom the
Abandoned Vehicle Abatement fund (A V A). In addirion, the City receives approximately
$100,000 for reimbUßcmcnt trom it's Negligent hnpound Payment program (NIP).
Therefore the Shortfall is approximately $66,000 on 3,500 tow caDs, or $18.86 per call.
City staff is recommending an RFP process that when completed (approximately 90 days)
mayor may not provide full cost recovCI)'. The 90 day time line is at best a minimum, ín
fact the City of San Diego's RFP process took 2 years of staff time to complete. The funds
that we are proposing are available immediately, not at a future date. Staff has indicated
"the exemplary compliance record of the existing firms n page 8 , shows that the system is
not broke, however Ihe City is experiencing a cost short-fall ín regards to the towing
pmgram. Of the 5 companies cWTently under CQntracl, 2 are WBE and an 5 businesses are
long tcnn members of the Chula Vista business commwrity. We currently collect the 1\11'
fees for the city and remit those fees in a timely marmer. (approximately $100,000 yearly)
The process to account for and remit the RefCITal Fct is already in place.
Conclusion : We request your support of Alternative 1, which would keep in force a
system that is "not broken", keep this important service ín the City of Chula Vista, and
immediately generate revenue for the general fund.

Dear Ma~
I understand that the Council has scheduled an item for
Tuesday's meetinq regardinq vista Hill Foundation's interest
in selling their Chula vista property to the California
Departroent of Corrections.
While I aro sympathetic to the Foundation's financial
difficulties, I am afraid that the Department of Corrections
is not their solution. The Department is not pursuinq and
will not pursue this site.
From what I have read, a few facts ·appear to have been missing
in local discussions.
(1) Once the Department of Corrections owns a site, it may
operate it for whatever purpose it deems appropriate, subject
only to limitations imposed by the legislature. They may, for
example, acquire and operate a site as a woman's prison and
subseqUently determine that prison population changes require
that the facility be converted into a men's facility. This
process is currently underway in stockton. It is, therefore,
only possible to know for what purpose the facility is
initially intended, not to what use it could later be put.
(2) In the process of seekinq approvals for occupying the
Donovan facility and in sitinq facilities in Imperial and Los
Angeles Counties, the Department of Corrections made specific
commitments to DQt seek additional facilities in San Diego
County south of Interstate 8. This is why the Department has
been looking at a possible site for the Women's Alternative
Sentencing Program in Oceanside, consistent with it. prior
commitments.
(3) While we have no reason to believe that the Department
will not honor its commitments, only $15 million has been
authorized for acquisition of four program sites throughout
the state. There has been no appropriation of funds likely

necessary for completion of the sites or for operation of the
facilities themselves,
(4) The vista Hill site, itself, runs afoul of virtually
every siting guideline established by the state for the
operation of Correctional facilities of any kind. (a) The site
is in the immediate vicinity of a residential neighborhood.
(b) While not currently bordered by an elementary school site
(the site has not yet been developed), the school district
would have to agree to abandon its site since the state could
not operate a Correction facility immediately next to an
elementary school. (c) The site is in the proximity of
existing medical and residential care facilities which attract
a frail and vulnerable population. Anyone of these criteria
would be enough to disqualify the site for consideration.
(5) When selecting a site, the Department of Corrections must
consider likely opposition not only from the political
perspective, but also from the legal perspective. For
example, even if all the local elected officials from all
levels of government support a given site, any party has the
right to challenge the appropriateness of a site in court.
The Department has a long and difficult history of dealing
with such legal challenges by groups representing both
residents and businesses. Such legal battle. are typically
very lengthy and very expensive. This is why the Dep.~tment
has adopted a standard pUblic position reqarding all 8ites,
"we only go where we are wanted."
In summary, the site is inappropriate. Even if it were
appropriate, the Department of corrections has made a firm
commitment to D2t site any additional facilities in south San
Dieqo County. This is a commitment which I am certain the
Department intends to keep and to whioh I intend to hold them.
I regret not being able to appear before the council in person
to afford each of you the opportunity to ask whatever
questions you may have. However, having seen the public
discussion move well beyond reality, I thouqht it important to
share this information with you before discussions matured
even further.
Please feel free to oall me in Sacramento.
wishes,

MEMO TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
I ,
FROM: Jerry R. Rindone, Deputy MaY~:¡f
SUBJECT: SAN DIEGO TROLLEY EXTEN· 'ON FUND SHIFT
MTDB has studied, evaluated and approved construction of the trolley extension from
Old Town to San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium (Mission Valley West Project). The
construction of this project is a critical link in the master plan of the trolley system for the
San Diego region. As Vice Chair of MTDB, I have extensively studied this project and
highly recommend your support for the trolley extension fund shift which will enable this
project to be built.
Since this is such an important regional issue which will positively benefit the residents
of Chula Vista, I am forwarding a packet of information for your careful review and
examination prior to Tuesday's City Council meeting and discussion of this item. It is
my understanding that Chairman Leon Williams is attempting to join us to respond to
any questions you may have on this issue. In addition, a brief presentation will be made
by MTDB staff to give you historical background and perspective on this topic.
Please keep in mind that the issue before us applies to MTDB money and is simply a
fund shift from one project (Mission Valley East) to another project (Mission Valley West)
in order to complete construction of the next trolley extension in a timely manner.
The recent decision by MTDB to expedite the construction of the trolley extension from
Old Town to the Stadium (Mission Valley West) has been blocked by SANDAG. Both
MTDB and the CTC have approved the plan which simply shifts funds from allocations
made for future segments of the line to current construction, with replacement funding
assured. The extension from the Stadium easterly to Grossmont Center cannot be built
until the west segment is on line. This shift is a practical and effective means by which
the Trolley line extension plan can proceed.
Certainly the costs have escalated since the Trolley was first instituted many years ago,
(so has the price of cars, potatoes and Coca Cola) and, as time goes on, costs will
continue to increase. Expenses for the trolley, such as land purchases, construction and
operation, will continue to increase, but the longer it is delayed, the more it will cost.
//'0-/
___.__"..__,.~_,.____.____...m_'_m____"_""'_'~""" __ ___ ____ __~.__._ __"_.__..,__..___."'._n___·"···_,______.__~··______·__·__
Government officials, who toss around the terms "boondoggle", "dysfunctional" and
"colossal waste of money", should consider the wishes and opinions of the millions of
riders who have enjoyed the trolley over the past years. They should also consider the
reduction of fossil fuel consumption and the proven improvement in air quality. The age
old success of light rail systems throughout the world does not need to be debated or
questioned. Southern California has only the shame of foot dragging to answer for their
love of the automobile. The expansion of light rail travel is progressing across our
nation. Its success is irrefutable and environmentally is mandatory. Buses wear out
faster, cost more to operate and still pollute our air. Trains carry more passengers, are
more dependable, require fewer operators and use non-polluting electricity. Parking
fees, ridesharing, increased licensing fees, etc. are various efforts to help lessen the
amount of cars on the roads and the trolley line is working towards this end.
As Vice Chairman of MTDB, I believe their work is exemplary and efficient and they are
dedicated to providing a much needed service to the public. Many public officials
possibly do not need to ride the Trolley, however, the service was not generated for
them. The service was provided for the millions who need it as an economical means
of transportation.
Please do not allow political posturing or personal bias to delay, or even destroy, this
very worthwhile project. It is something that the San Diego region needs to have if we
are to be an active part of the future. It is a straight forward and honest long range plan
for the future of our region and, in no way, compares to trash plants or airport studies.
The technology is proven and sound. The need is compelling and the history of MTDB
flawless. If someone can make things cost less in the future instead of more, MTDB will
be the first to embrace the procedure.

has been a part of SANDAG's adopted Regional Transportation Plan since
1984.
0 LRT has been shown to be an attractive alternative to auto drivers, and
, has proven its ability to draw people to transit. In addition, due to
its significant potential, LRT is best suited to accommodate additional
loads traveling to high activity centers and major stadium events in the
corridor.
0 r A high quality bus alternative will require a cost investment similar to
the lRT project, and cost more in operations.
0 The lRT project will improve the San Diego River environment by adding
more than 20 acres of wildlife habitat.

III. Costs and Financial Plan (p. 7)
0 The original (1987) capital cost estimate of $150 million has increased
to the current $245.7 million estimate for these reasons:
+ $55.4 million for inflation
+ $17.6 million for additional right-of-way
+ Sle.O million for a revised stadiwn alignment
+ S 8.7 million for extra land for environmental .itigation
+ $ 2.0 million for implementation of tbe_.mttigationplan
0 The bulk (771) of Mission Valley West LRT financing would come from
TransNet moneys already allocated to this project, supplemented by other
local and state funding sources

I. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
A. Profile of Mission Valley
Mission valley Is a highly developed urban center in San Diego. Its
characteristics are as follows;
_ Located roughly in the geographic center of San Diego ..
_ Nearly all of the major freewll,ys in the·region including 1-5, I-B, 1-15,
1-805, and SR-l63 pass through it
_ Site of two regional shopping malls, one of·which (located at a planned
lRT station) recently received approvals to add 440,000 square feet to
its existing 1.37 million square feet

_ Home to residents of thousands of condOlliniums and apartments
_ Site for at least three future major mixed-use developments (RiverWalk,
·Rio Vi~ta andNissio~ City)
B. Mission ~allev lRT Li~ Role and Puroose
" l --,.-..--. -,,' ,
_ .., Attract new riders to trans.it b~.'provjding an attractive alternative to
.¡ the automobile, whose cœ/paratflie adýutageis the greatest deterrent to
. . the use of publ ic transit.
_ Directly serve existing andplañned activity centers, including'future
11I1 xed-use, developments (R1verlla,lk, Rio, Vi..sta and Mission City),
Fashion ~alley, Mission Valley;:~nd·H8zárd Centers, the Stadium and
concentrated Slulti-famf1y residéntial develop.nts.
_ llelp shape and support hnd dev~lopœnt patterns to be more efficient
and less environmentally impacting (i.e., less sprawling, thereby
relieving development pressurè on the Valley's sensitive hillsides, less
auto dependent, mre walkable). lRT stations will be integrated into
future mixed-use developments and the Fashion Valley Center's upcoming
expansion.
_ Provide the IIIOst efficient trallsit s!rvtce possible. ¡he Mission Valley
LRT w111 be an integrated cOllponent of the regional transit network.
Bus/LRT connections at the Fashion Valley Transit Center, currently the
most heavily used bus stop in San Diego County (with over 6,000 trip
ends a day), will provide direct access to destinations along LRT lines
in Mission Valley, old Town, downtown San Diego, and South Bay. Mission
Valley Line connections to the.ReW Old Town Transit Center will provide
direct access to bus, commuter rail, and LRT services.

C. ReGional Goals and Proiect PurDOse
.','
Cltv o¥ San Dieao Policies and Goals:
- The ~roqress Guide and General Plan (1979 with 1989 amendments)
set orth a ~olicY of prOlOting growth in the metropolitan ~arts
of the city (including Mission Valley) and phasing in growt on
the edges of the city. .
- The Mission Vallev CODRIIUllitv Plan. .(1985) identifies the LRT
alignment and calls for mixed use, transit-õriented activity
centers along the San Die~o River. ~The Community Plan also
included the ·San Diego Rlver Wetlan s Management Plan" which was
drafted in consultation with resource agencies.)
_ Approvals of major developments along the LRT corridor including:
the First San Diego River Improvement Project (1982), the
." _. . ,Nortbside. Spec.ific Plao (J984).-.th,e J.evi:.tllsþall specific Plan
~-w 9é '._::' (198Th:,¡a,"!c,t~erfashion VallM3expansion (i994r. These rëp¡:'eseri~,~: .- ..-
entitlements of over 7,000 new dwelling units, 2,376 new hotel .
rooms, 1,585,000 square feet of retail and over 5.9 million square
feet of office use.
- Translt-OrientRd Develooment Desion Guidelines (1992) outline a
cpmmlt~nt to transit-ori~ted development. The intent is to
maximize opportuniti~s fof'~ðople to access transit on foot, an~
to create more 1 ivable ne1.ghborhoods. ,.
Rêa;Qn:a] Proarams.. Poli~1As ·and·~"oa1s:~-'·
, . h
- The Mission Valley Line bis ~ identified as a light rail
-
transit corridor in the Regional Transportation Plan (prepared by
the San Diego'Association'of &oIIemants . SANDAG) since 1984.
, ,.,'.
- The Regional Growth Managelllent' strategy being prepared by SANDAG
relies on urbaniud areuç inClllding Mission Valley, to handle
projected regional growth:. .11i1$ ¡.eduèéS the development pressUre
on existing rural areas that are being considered for inclusion in
a regional habitat preservation system.
MTDB'sGoals andleaislative Purøase:
- To provide and improve regional IIObility
- To move people in as efficient a .anner as possible
- To obtain maximum benefit for every·dollar spent
- To offer high quality public transportation service
- To implement the transit facilities and services IUndated in
MTÐB's 1976 enabling legislation and 1987 Proposition A (TransNet)
ballot measure passed by County voters

D. Consistency with Federal Proorams .,
The regional planning and project purpose for the Mission Valley LRT is
consistent with federal mandates and programs, as follows:
- rSTEA and Clean Air Act Amendments: the federal Intennodal Surface
Transportation Efficie~ Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 call for an integrated approach to land use, "ir
quality and transportation planning. These pieces of legislation
acknowledge the strong role that transportation facil ities play in the
quality of community development.
- Federal Transit Administration rFTA) Livable·Communities Initiative:
FTA's "Livable Communities Initiative" (November 1994) supports
coordinated transit and land use planning, such as that which has
occurred in Mission Valley.
CV?~ . ;c" ·Dêi~,:iiíënt:.cíf JíoU$ifa ant! 'ûrT>á'¡; ~õiíìi8ñt(HUD) ·:"HUD'!i . publ i ati on ,. .. ., .. ..
"V1S10n/ReaHty: St a'teg1es for C nUy change" (April 1994) states ."

II. BENEFITS OF THE LRT PROJECT
A. RidershiD
1t is estimated that during the first year Df Dperation, about 5,500 daily
riders would board trains at the seven Mission Valley West statiDns. As the
propDsed RiverWalk and Mission City Projetts are developed, two stations will
be added to serve these mixed-use projects. With these two new stations, and
projected residential and commercial growth throughout Mission Valle, ånd the
rest of the region, ridership is projected to i~crease to 16,000 dai y riders
over the next 10 to 15 years. There would be . significant increase in
ridership on the Mission Valley Vest segment if it were extended through East
Mission Valley to connect with the East Line in La Mesa.
Ridership estimates were also prepared for a comparable bus route that would
operate along Friars Road at service frequencies equivalent to that assumed
.fOI: I..~l.$gr\lice... Th,'. pro.J.ecte~Jir~l,lear: b~sridership is approximately
o~/ah~qo r.l4,er.s per~d,¥ wi~&J.he iffss 0l\II,J,Te, Vèst'""eoI"i1dlíl". "'--'-]'. i' ,
The first year lRT ridership estimates are conservative. The 5,500 riders per
day translates to a little under 800 boardings per station. In comparison,
the suburban stations on the East Line today average gOO daily boardings,
while the South Line suburban stations average over 1,500 boardings per day
(excludes.th~highest .volume San VSidro/Intemational Border Station).
B. Envi1'On~nta 1
Transoortation and Land Use Benef~t$~
, The LRT will provide a less diSruptive trànsportation alternative within
0
Mission Vall~ than buses: or au~biles.
,
0 The LRT will increase the capa¿ityof the transportation Syst8111 in and
through Mission Valley and addressth, deficiencies of the street and
,freeway systl!ll in the future (Interstate 8 is projected to be among the
IIDst congested freèWays in theregioll by the year 2010).
0 The LRT will support intensification of land uses around rail stations.
This meets regional land use and environmental goals to control sprawl
by accDnlllodatin, growth in the urban areas. LRT is a central part of
the Mission Val eyCommunity Plan's ~oal to focus development intensity
Dn the Valley floor, th8reby relieving development pressure on the
sensitive hillsides that define.the·natural boundaries of the Valley.
Ai!'Oua1itvand £nerav BønBfits:
0 The project provides air quality and energy benefits for Mission Valley
and the region (ultimately affecting the health of hu.an and natural
habitats) .

o The Mission Valley West LRT Project is an important component of the
1994-2001 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) air quality
conformity determination. Without the project, new air quality
conformity findings would be required, Dossiblv resultißQ in delavs to
manY Droiects in the RTIP. This would particularly impact proposed
highway and road projects. .
Natural Habitat ßenaf1ts:
o The LRT project environmental mitigationp1ans will expand the wildlife
corridor a10ng the San Diego River by 24 acres. This natural area does
not exist today and would possib1y be lost forever.
o The project mitigation plan will enhance the habitat quality in
Mission Valley by replacing poor quality habitat with high quality
habitat.

III. COSTS AND FINANCIAL PLAN
It is important to note that the original cost estimate of $150 million was'
developed in 1987 for planning purposes, and was based on very preliminary
information. Generally, and in keeping vith standard practices, MTDB does not
establish a firm project budget until the final scope of a project is known at
the completion of final design (i.e., $245.7 million for Mission Valley West).
The current $245.7 million estimate is the result of increases due to:,
..--
0 inflation since the 1987 figures were developed ($55.4 million); the
actual rates were vithin those used by the California Transportation
Commission. (Using their rates to midpoint of construction would equal
$64.4 111111ion.); .
0 right-of-way costs ($17.6 million);
0·_ ..' .a. revised .lRT alignment anulevated.s.t<ation atSan.DJego Ja-ck.HQrphy.,.

0 acquisition of the Warner Ranch for environmental mitigation land
($8.7 million); and
0 implementation of the environmental mitigation plan ($2 million).
During the preliminary engineering phase of the Project, the MTD Board of
Directors approved anal1glllllllnt,c~ang.at San· Diego Jaclc Murphy StadiulI.
Rathér than construct the LRT lin . and.staUoriat grade along an eDlbanment at
the south edge of the Stadium'pa~inglot adjacent to the San Diego River, the
al ignment was shifted clo!:er to t_e St¡sdiuni.¡TtI. .final al ignment of the LRT .
line"had to be elevated through·the Stádium parking lot wit an elevated
station approximately 200 feet frO. the Stadium entrance. The cost impact of
this,Stadium revision was an additional S12 million.
Also, during the prelimi~ry engineering and environ~ntal phase of the
Project, .pproximate~iX acres of environgental wetlands were identified as
ill)acted, requiring. . ,to provide a mitigation site plan. No environmental
lIitigation vas considered in the original Plannin~ phase since specific
illpacts were not known. Using the AnIIY Corps of ngineers (ACOE~ guidelines
to locate the mitigation site close to the area impacted by the roject, MlDB
purthased 34 acres adjacent to the Project and developed a conceptual mitiga-
tion site plan to be iIIproved by the ACOE.The added cost impact was
" $10.7 million. ' .

: Option 1: Tr~velJl'imarily along Friiars Road, providing direct service
through Mission Valley. . .. .
Option 2: Serve. major activity centers served by LRT through

! The bus alternative is not a. practicable alternative. to LRT in Mission Valley
¡ for the fo 11 owi ng reasons: .. .
,
I 0 It is not the most efficient use of transit operating funds over the
, long-term as it requires IIOre operating subsidies than the LRT
!alternative. Use of l1mUId regional operating funds to provide LRT-
equivalent levels of ,bus service in Mission Valley would draw resources
from the rest of the region, degrading the regional transit system.
I 0 Buses cannot serve II 1 inear corridor with multiple activity centers
I well, given the discontinuous street rietwork. A more circuitous routing
¡ to serve activity centers would discourage ridership.
I 0 Buses would not attract acceptable levels of ridership. Even with LRT-
~ equivalent service levels, the bus alternative is projected to attract
~ 1,200 riders a day during the first year as opposed to 5,500 for LRT.

D. Auto System Investment
The chief alternative to a transit project in Mission Valley--whether bus o~
rail--is increased investment in the automobile. There are two aspects to
this investment. The first is the capital ex~enditures needed to build the
infrastructure of streets and highways, as we 1 as those required for the
automobiles themselves. The second aspect is the continuing expenditures
required for operation and maintenance of the system.
The first aspect of investment, caDital eXDenditures, has both a publi~ and a
private component. The public component is the.syst..-of streets, highways,
bridges, lighting, and traffic control devices which form the mediwn on which
automobiles travel. In Mission Valley, this system consists of a freeway
(Interstate 8) and several parallel arterial streets. The freeway is one of
the busiest in California, with little or no capacity to handle increased
traffic. Both types of roadway would have to be supplemented with additional
capacity in order to function if transit were not developed in Mission Valley.
o,.['I,I}tiiìg"~i.dÍ! tt: !I~rquâlf\y, noise~· and ~'lIn;!IY i'lll'act$ of such 'an' expansion,
. (·tost considerat ons' wouîcfJ'ií'åke it diffic,"' to justify. To achieve the same .'."....
peak capacity as the proposed 1iyht rail line (3,000-4,000 people per hour,
per direction), Interstate 8 wou d need two more lanes in each direction. The
cost of adding these four new lanes could exceed $400 million (perhaps
considerably higher, given the lack of available right-of-way in which to
expand). In contrast. the capital cost of the Mission Valley Vest light rail
segment," including vehicles, is $24& million.
t ~ . ~ . ,
Thli pr'ivate component of capita' ·1nves1:melit" 1n the automobile systl!lll is the
autos.themse1ves. The willingn~ss ofa motor'ist to pay for a car and its
upkeep is often felt by economists to be a validation of the public's .
aCèeptance of the automobile system. In .any instances, however, a family 1s
w111ing enout to support. a single automobile in the household, but is forced
to take on t e burden ofsupportilig nulttplacars. Often, one IDOtor vehicle
is needed for each licensed driver in the household. This condition is a
consequence of focusing our public reSOurces on ·developing the automobile
system while neglectin, its ·alternatives,such as· transit, bicycling, and
walking. The end resu t ïs lowerdi$pQsable income for the household in
question. As an example,· several stllclies have found that the family able to
dispense with one of its automobilèS can, on average, afford an additional
$40,000 worth of mortgage.
Operatina eXDenses are the other aspect of the automobile system. These, too,
have a public and private component: the public costs of maintaining,
lighting, and patrolling roadWlYs; and the private costs of purchasing fuel,
parts, service, insurance, and parking. These expenditures are commonly
considered to be self-supporting; the driver pays the public costs through
taxes and the priváte costs directly to the providers of the services in
question; In fact, many of the operating expenses of the automobile systell
are subsidized, while other expenses are not covered at all.
America's aging ·roadwaysand bridges 'are testUlant to the fact that gasoline
taxes and other road user fees are not sufficient to maintain these public

facilities. Moreover, the costs of most of the impacts of the automobile--
called externalities by economists--are not covered by motorists at all; bu~.
by the general public, regardless of how much or how little they drive. These·
relate to air pollution, accidents, congestion, and parking subsidies. !The
"hidden costs· for these impacts must be shouldered through higher property
taxes (for traffic enforcement, for example), private insurance and medical
expenses (for auto-related traffic accidents and lun~ diseases), and higher
prices for goods and services (to subsidize free par ing at stores and
offices). A 1993 study estimated that if these externalities were covered by
IIIOtorists, the gasoline tax would have to be increased by $3.51 per ganon!
This would raise the price of :¡:;,ular gas in this area -from about $1.29 a
gallon today to about S4.80 a ga lon--which compares favorably with its price
in most other developed nations. The failure of much smaller gas tax
increases both locally and in other parts of the country belies the notion
that the public is truly willing to pay the cost of maintaining the automobile
system.
To be sure~ the transit alternatives to the automobile require public support

(The speech follows this fax.)
If it is not possible to read the speech. I would be grateful if
you would providé copies of it to the council members and ask
them to read it prior to their decision.
Basically it says that it is documented at the Army Corp. of

At a September 22, ~995 MTDB meeting the Board of Directors asked
MTD Staff specifically for a report that compared Annual
Operational Cost of Trolley to the Bus option.
Director Stallings asked first and Director Ron Roberts followed
Up. I'm reading from the minutes.
Mr. RoÞerts asked that the analysis be made avai~able to the
Þoard. Be noted that what happens in government is we qat money
only for capital improvements, and we get money tha~'. only for
operating improvements. ... We don't have the flexibility of
balanoing off those capital dollars with operating do~lars.
If we clid, we may have a different kind of service."
The report came to the directors at the next meeting on October 6
it was full or errors and misleading information.
The cover sheet of my handout outlines these errors and inside
are MTDB documents submitted in recent months to thQ ACOE that
flat out admit the errors.
They forgot to include the cost of the LRT feeder bus service. an
error of $1.5 Million. They used the incorrect round trip mile-
age when calculating "Cost per revenue mile". a 1/2 Million
dollar error. Mr. Roberts, in response to your request, they
handed you a figure of less than $3 Million, when ·the actual
gross Annual Operational Cost was $5 Million.
In response to your request for an Annual Cost comparison with
buses, you never got a bottom line. They left out Fare Recovery
which is much greater for buses.
Buses were $1 Million LESS per year to operate, not $a.3 Million
more as the document you receive a indioated.
You should be outraged at the misleading information you re-
ceived. If you are not please explain.
Please do not sanction these phenomenal miscalculations but
investigate quickly and reconsider your vote for the March 9,
SANDAG Agenda.
I have highlighted the MTDB documents and errors. Please ask
SANDAG staff to work with us in this inv~stigation. MTDB staff
has muddied the figures in their recent: docs to ACOE with added
miles to the EIR Bus Option and another $l Million dollar error.
Are there any questions? Madam Chair will you please allow a
minute to run through the highlight points on the MTDB Docs I've
given you?

TO: Honorable Mayor Horton
FROM: Armando Buelna, Assistant to the Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Len Moore's Appointment to the EDC
Curtis Valenzuela has proposed the following to address Len Moore's appointment to the EDC:
Brene Patrick is a voting member, but had requested a sabbatical from December 1994 to July
1995. The Commission would like her to stay on, however. Chuck Sutherland, an ex.officio
member, has resigned. Ty Compton is a member with full voting rights, but his term expires in
June. Since he has already served two full terms, he cannot serve another term. Mr. Compton is
on the Commission, but is not listed as such in the printout. Len Moore has no formal status.
The solution Curtis proposes involves moving Ms. Patrick from a voting member to the ex·officio
seat vacated by Chuck Sutherland. Len Moore would then be moved into Ms. Patrick's voting
seat. In July, when Ms. Patrick returns from sabbatical, and after Mr. Compton's term has
expired, appoint her to fill that seat if you so choose.
