CONSIDERATION OF COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NUMBER
066 FOR SDG&E TO REMOVE AND FILL EXISTING TEST WELLS
LOCATED WEST OF BAY BOULEVARD, NORTH OF "E" STREET - In
January 1986 the fuel oil transfer pipe serving SDG&E's South Bay Power Plan
developed a leak. To repair the leak, SDG&E secured the necessary permits
from the City and received the appropriate direction from the Regional Water
Quality Control Board. Several monitoring wells were drilled to perform soil
and groundwater contamination sampling during the course of the fuel oil clean-
up. In September 1986 the Regional Water Quality Control Board notified
SDG&E that no further remedial actions were necessary. Recently SDG&E
became aware that monitoring wells which have no further purpose are required
by the San Diego County Department of Public Health Services, Environmental
Health Protection Section, to be removed and closed. In response, SDG&E is
planning to remove the wells and has applied for a Coastal Development permit
to undertake the work. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director

REVIEWED BY:
The applicant, Charles Tibbitt, has submitted applications for an amendment to the General Plan
and Prezoning for 0.67 unincorporated acres at the southwest comer of Bonita Road and
Lynwood Drive. The proposal is to redesignate the site from Office Commercial and Low
Density Residential to Commercial Visitor, prezone the parcel C-V-P, Commercial Visitor with
Precise Plan, in order to establish a full service carwash.
A Precise Plan for the proposed carwash received conditional approval by the Design Review
Committee on February 28, 1994, contingent upon approval of the General Plan amendment and
prezoning (see attachment 6). The proposal would also require a subsequent approval of a
Conditional Use Permit By the plannil1g Commission after the site is annexed to the City.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study, IS-94-04, of possible
environmental impacts associated with the project. Based on the attached Initia1 Study (see
attachment 7) and comments thereon, the Environmental Review Coordinator has concluded that
there would be no significant environmental effects and, therefore, recommends adoption of the
Negative Declaration issued on IS-94-04.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the Resolution and Ordinance amlndini /
the Chula Vista General Plan from Office Commercial and Residential Low Density and Prezone
to Commercial Visitor with Precise Plan.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: .
On February 28, 1994, the Design Review Committee voted 4-0 to approve the project design
subject to conditions and contingent upon approval of the General Plan amendment, prezoning
and annexation of the property.
The Resource Conservation Commission, on March 7, 1994, considered Initial Study 94-04 and
voted 5-0 to accept the negative declaration.
On May 11,1994, The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to deny the request based on traffic and
circulation concerns. However, at the May 18, 1994 Planning Commission workshop meeting,
the Commission agreed to reconsider the application to allow the applicant the opportunity to
clarify the operation of the facility, and address the traffic and circulation issues raised at the
meeting. On June 8, 1994, the Planning Commission, after reconsidering the request, voted 6-0
to approve the proposal (see attachment 4).
DISCUSSION:
The 0.67 acre site is irregular in shape and is located at the southwest corner of Bonita Road
and Lynwood Drive within the unincorporated Sweetwater Community Planning Area.
The property, which is the consolidation of an existing 0.50 acre frontage parcel with 0.17 acres
from the southerly adjace~t residential lot, is presently vacant and relatively level, except for the
southerly 30-40 ft which contains a 40 ft. high slope that separates the site from a single family
dwelling located adjacent to the south. Adjacent land uses include commercial retail to the north
(across Bonita Rd.) commercial office and retail to the east (across Lynwood Drive), residential
to the south and 1-805 to the west across a flood control channel.
The present Sweetwater Community Plan Designations (County General Plan) are as
follows:

PUBLIC INPUT
On February 10, 1994, the planning Department sponsored a public forum to familiarize the
residents of the immediate vicinity and the Sweetwater Community Group with the applicant's
request, the planning process and public hearing schedule.
The issues raised at the public forum involves primarily concerns regarding the additional traffic
and signal delays at the Bonita Road and Lynwood Drive Intersection. The residents pointed out
that the County had recently approved a church/school in their neighborhood, and since the
Lynwood area is served solely by Lynwood Drive, the proposed project would further contribute
to the deterioration of traffic conditions on Bonita Rd. and the traffic signal phasing (delays) at
the intersection.
In regard to the proposed land use issue (fuU service carwash) and the project design, the
residents in attendance stated that the project was attractive and offered a service presently
unavailable in the immediate vicinity (the nearest full service carwash is located at the northeast
corner of Broadway and "K" Street).

Meeting Date /94

There were no representatives of the Sweetwater Community Planning Group at the public
forum, but in a letter received by the Planning Department, the Group voiced the same concern
as residents regarding an increase in traffic along Bonita Road, and delay in the traffic signal
phasing at the Bonita Road Lynwood Dr./Plaza Bonita Rd. intersection (see attachment 8).
On October 5, 1994, the applicant presented the proposed project to the Sweetwater Community
Planning Group. The PJanning Group endorsed the project design and land use, but expressed
concerns about the existing traffic at the intersection of Bonita Rd. and Lynwood Drive (see
attachment 8).
ANALYSIS
In 1989, the City Council adopted a comprehensive update of the Chula Vista General Plan and,
by reference, adopted the Sweetwater Community Plan for all the unincorporated parcels within
this pJanning area.
The Sweetwater Community Plan encompasses the unincorporated areas south of Route 54, east
of I-80S, and north of the existing City boundaries (see Exhibit E, attachment 2). The
Community Plan shows office commercial designation for the site and contains design criteria
to guide the development of the area and maintain the community character.
For the most part, the existing commercial uses along both sides of Bonita Road consist of
specialty retail, service buildings and commercial offices.
In regard to the issue of compatibility, the land use designations found in the "Gateway" area
surrounding the Bonita Road and I-80S interchange range from Office Commercial to General
Commercial and Central Commercial (see Exhibit B and C). The land use designations on this
segment of Bonita Road are diverse and allow for a variety of businesses. Therefore, the
Commercial Visitor designation appears to be compatible with the established land use pattern
in the area and consistent with the commercial goals of the Sweetwater Community Plan.
The redesignation of 0.17 acres of the southerly adjacent residential property from Residential
Low Density (2 dulac) to Commercial Visitor will result in a more suitable parcel for commercial development and will allow access to and from Lynwood Drive. The lot split. which
is required and presently being processed by the County, will not affect the livability or the
amenities of the property in question because a similar size parcel located immediately adjacent
to the south will be consolidated to that parcel to retain approximately the same lot area.
It is important to note that the City recently rezoned 2.23 acres of property located at the
northwest corner of Bonita Road and Plaza Bonita Road from C-V, Commercial Visitor to C-C
Central Commercial with the inclusion of a specific plan to provide for flexibility and control
of certain land uses. The Specific Plan prohibits automobile-oriented uses such as service
'X &~ 'I
t
47)15'/
stations, drive-thn1 restaurants, carwashes and other auto oriented uses. While that contradicts
the staff's recommendation for this project, the issues and constraints in the case of the northerly
parcel are substantially different. The principal factor that led the City to restrict automobile
related uses for that parcel was the larger size of the parcel, the traffic conditions along Plaza
Bonita Road, the relative proximity of the freeway on-ramp to the site, the street intersection,
and the site exposure that this parcel has from all angles.
Page 5, Item
Meeting Date
On the south side of Bonita Road, the traffic pattern and traffic conditions are different.
Lynwood Drive does not have the traffic volume that Plaza Bonita Road has, and the freeway
off-ramp does not restrict access to and from Bonita Road. Based on this and the information
in the traffic report, the City Traffic Engineer concluded that the carwash can operate on the
subject site without the friction that the northerly parcel would have with a similar use.
Staff does, however, recognize the importanCe of this intersection, and has worked with the
applicant to resolve the traffic concerns that the plAnn;l1g Commission and residents of the area
have expressed. The street will be widened and a deceleration lane will be added in order to.
allow east bound Bonita Road traffic to exit the travel lanes before slowing down to enter the
carwash facility (see exhibit F-9). In addition, the conditional use permit, which is required for
the proposed land use in the C-V zone, will be conditioned to ensure that the operation will not
exceed activity levels and trip generation which is projected by and acceptable to the applicant.
Conditions may include a monitoring program, and restrictions in hours of operation and pricing.
A noise study was also conducted to determine the potential impact from traffic as well as from
operational aspects of the proposed land use. The study concludes that the project will increase
the existing noise levels by 0.2 db, which in the context of the existing 66 db noise level in the
area is considered negligible.
The existing land uses on this segment of Bonita Road generate relatively low traffic volume at
the Bonita Road and Lynwood DrivelPlaza Bonita Road intersection. However the existing
traffic at this intersection is very high and has been the concern of both the residents of the area
and the Sweetwater Community Group.
A traffic report was prepared to address the issue of traffic and signal delays raised at the public
forum and the Sweetwater Community Group. After reviewing the report,the City Traffic
Engineer concluded that the traffic generated by the carwash, although higher than office or even
retail shops, is spread fairly evenly throughout the day and, therefore as illustrated in the table
below, is not expected to create any signifu:ant changes to traffic or signal delays at the Bonita
Road and Lynwoodl Plaza Bonita Road intersection.

To ensure compatibility with area and conformance with the established community character,
staff has recommended the following Precise Plan Standards, which we believe would ensure
compatibility even if a use other than carwash occupies the site:
I. Development in this property shall be in conformance with the Sweetwater Community
Plan and Design Guidelines.

CONCLUSION
The redesignation from Commercial Office and Residential Low Density follows the pattern of
other parcels along this segment of Bonita Road, and is consistent with City plAnning and zoning
at other freeway intersections.
The topographical separation (approximately 40 ft.) between the site and the residential
neighborhood above and to the south, the safeguards established in the form of precise standards
to address compatibility and the assessment of the City Traffic Engineer that the project will not
adversely impact existing traffic conditions, leads staff to recommend approval of the requests
in accordance with the fmdings and subject to the requirements and conditions contained in the
attached resolution and ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
On May 17, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 17491 approving Council Policy
No. 570-03, Sewage Pump Station Financing Policy. The Council Policy provides that all
existing Sewer Service Rate Areas, which provide for the financing of maintenance and
operation (MlO) costs of public sewage pump stations by property owners, be modified.
Ordinance Nos. 2181, 2286, 2477 and Resolution Nos. 6833 and 8028 must be repealed and
Ordinance No. 2461, all of which established Special Sewer Service Rate Areas must be
amended to comply with the Council Policy. The Master Fee Schedule and Municipal Code
need to be updated to reflect the provisions stated in the Council Policy.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Adopt Ordinance amending Sections 13.14.100 and 13.14.150 of the Municipal Code
and Ordinance No. 2461 and repealing Ordinance Nos. 2181, 2286, and 2477 to
dissolve Special Sewer Service Rate Areas.
2. Adopt Resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule to delete sewage pump station
fees and repealing Resolution Nos. 6833 and 8028 to discontinue the billing of sewage

DISCUSSION:
Council Policy No. 570-03 states that all MlO costs for all City owned sewage pump stations
within Chula Vista shall be paid from the City's general sewer budget. The policy provides
that all of the existing Special Sewer Service Rate Areas within the City be modified as of July
1, 1994 to relieve affected homeowners or businesses of the obligation to pay the Special
Sewer Service Rate applicable to the pump station. This ordinance and resolution will
implement the requirements of the pump station policy. They must be enacted on July 19 in
order to ensure that the billing of pump station fees is discontinued as of the first billing period
subsequent to July 1, 1994. Where existing agreements or ordinances provide for developer
contributions toward the payment of MlO costs, those portions of the agreements or ordinances
which apply to developer contributions shall continue to be effective.
Current pump stations are listed with the related ordinances and resolutions on the attached
Table I. Maps are also included which show the location of the pump stations. Most of these
pump stations are owned by the City and the MlO costs are financed through sewer service
charges paid by the residents whose properties are part of sewer service rate areas. The San
Diego Unified Port District and EastLake pump stations are financed differently and must
therefore be treated differently under the new pump station policy.
PORT DISTRICT PUMP STATIONS
The San Diego Unified Port District is responsible for paying the MlO costs for three sewage
pump stations located within Chula Vista. These pump stations are serviced by the City
through an existing agreement with the Port District. The agreement would not be affected by
the Council Policy because these pump stations are not owned by the City. The City will
continue to provide the MlO for the pump stations, and the Port District will continue to
reimburse the City for all related expenses.
EASTLAKE GREENS PUMP STATIONS
EastLake Development Company and the City of Chula Vista have an agreement (enacted by
Resolution 16180 and Ordinance No. 2461) regarding maintenance and operation of two
existing sewage pump stations (EastLake Parkway and Otay Lakes Rd) and one future pump
station (Orange Avenue). Under this agreement, both the developer and the homeowners share
in the MlO costs until, 1) enough units have been sold to allow the homeowners to finance the
full MlO costs based upon a predetermined amount per unit or 2) seventy-five percent of a
given number of the units have been sold. It was predetermined that the residents would pay
a monthly flat fee of $0.75, $1.00, $1.50 or $2.00 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) for the
MlO costs based on the type of residence and whether the wastewater from the property flows
through one or two pump stations. When either of the two above conditions are met, EastLake
?":L
Page 3, Item
Meeting Date 7/19/94
7
Development will be released from its obligation to pay for the MlO costs. Thereafter, all MlO
costs would be paid by the property owners.
In order to be in conformance with the Pump Station Council Policy, the agreement between
EastLake Development and the City must be amended to relieve property owners of their
obligation to pay a portion of the MlO costs. EastLake Development will continue contributing
toward MlO expenses in the same proportion stipulated in the agreement. The City will
periodically monitor all sewer connections that contribute flow into the pump stations and
calculate the amount of revenue that these connected residences would have contributed for
MlO costs. This amount will be paid out of the City's sewer budget and subtracted from the
previous year's actual MlO costs for the pump station to detennine the amount due by
EastLake and/or subsequent developers. EastLake Development will be released from their
obligation to pay MlO costs when the estimated amount that the residents would have
contributed equals or exceeds MlO costs in any given year or when 75 percent of the total
number of tributary EDUs have been connected to the pump station. At that time, all the MlO
costs for the pump station will be paid through the general sewer budget.
OLYMPIC TRAINING CENTER PUMP STATIONS
Three pump stations will serve the Olympic Training Center (OTC). This includes OTC No.
1, a temporary pump station located on the Criterium Course, OTC No.2, a pennanent pump
station located at the Boat House and OTC No.3, a temporary pump station located between
Otay Lakes Road and the future E. Orange Ave. All three pump stations have been designed
to serve only the Olympic Training Center. OTC NO.3 pump station was constructed to allow
the Olympic Training Center to discharge sewage prior to completion of the larger E. Orange
Ave pump station, and it will not be needed after the E. Orange Ave. pump station is
completed. No agreement has yet been adopted for these pump stations. It is proposed that
these stations be maintained by the City through agreement with the Olympic Training Center,
as allowed through Section E of the Pump Station Policy. The Olympic Training Center would
pay all MlO costs, as well as costs associated with pump station removal. They will also be
required to pay the costs of connection to a gravity system when available for the OTC No.
1, Criterium Course pump station and cost of connection to the E. Orange Ave. system for the
OTC No. 3 pump station.
AUTO PARK PUMP STATION
Two agreements between the City of Chula Vista and the Chula Vista Auto Park to provide
for the maintenance of the Auto Park sewage pump station and holding tank were approved
by Resolution Nos. 17081 and 17082 on April 20, 1993. The developer is required to pay the
actual pump station and holding tank MlO costs for the first year of operation. The agreement
also stipulates that a sewer service rate area will be established to pay for MlO costs. The
7-J
Page 4, Item
Meeting Date 7/19/94
7
establishment of a sewer service rate area is no longer permitted by the Pump Station Policy.
All MlO costs after the first year are proposed to be paid through agreement with the Auto
Park Association, as provided in the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for this
development.
RANCHO ROBINHOOD II PUMP STATION
A Special Sewer Service Rate Area was not established for the Rancho Robinhood II sewage
pump station. Payment of MlO costs was addressed in Resolution No. 8028 and the
accompanying agreement between the developer and the City, which stated that the developer
would pay all MlO costs associated with the sewage pump station with the option of assigning
the MlO costs to the properties which would be served by the sewage lift station. The payment
of MlO costs was later transferred from the developer to the Homeowner's Association. The
Homeowner's Association was never formally established, therefore properties served by the
pump station were individually billed for the MlO costs by the City without amending
Resolution No. 8028. We propose to repeal Resolution No. 8028 and discontinue billing the
11 homeowners for the MlO costs of the sewage pump station. This is consistent with the
council policy adopted on May 17, 1994.
The Council Policy states that the actual cost of bypassing or removing a temporary sewage
pump station from service and connecting the collection system to an adjacent permanent
gravity system shall be paid from the regular sewer budget, and that this cost (less any
remaining deposits collected for that purpose) shall be distributed among all properties
connected to the Chula Vista sewer system.
MISSION VERDE AND CANDLEWOOD PUMP STATIONS
Two temporary pump stations, Mission Verde and Candlewood, are scheduled to discontinue
operation in 1995 and 1996, respectively, after the Rice Canyon Trunk Sewer is constructed.
A tentative subdivision map for Rancho del Rey SPA III was approved by Resolution No.
16266 on July 18, 1991. The subdivision map conditions provide for the removal of the
Mission Verde and Candlewood sewage pump stations by the developer. Prior to approval of
the final map, the owner and the City shall enter into an agreement to establish the scope of
work and the amount to be reimbursed by the City to the subdivider for performing said work.
The cost of removal and connection to gravity sewers for the Mission Verde and Candlewood
sewage pump stations will be paid through the general sewer budget.
The Master Fee Schedule must be amended to comply with the Council Policy. Chapter XII
Engineering-Sewer, Section D (Pump Stations), which refers to sewage pump station charges
and delinquent payments, will be deleted. Section 13 .14.100 of the Municipal Code must also
be amended to conform with the Council Policy. Parts A through E will be deleted and Part
7,,1{
Page 5, Item
Meeting Date
?
7/19/94
F will be revised. Language similar to the Council Policy will replace most of the deleted
sections.
FISCAL IMPACT: In accordance with Council Policy No. 570-03, all Special Sewer
Service Rate Areas will be dissolved and the MIa costs for all sewage pump stations will be
paid out of the general sewer budget to the extent that developer payments are not provided.
The total estimated annual cost of pump station MIa is $141,000. Approximately $28,000 of
that amount is presently fmanced out of City sewer funds. Since there will be no increase in
the sewer service charge for Fiscal Year 1994-95, it is estimated that the annual loss in
revenues will be approximately $113,000 for 1994-95. This amounts to an additional cost to
the City of approximately $0.22 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit per month. In future fiscal
years, this amount will have to be added to the overall sewer rate. There will be no immediate
impact on the sewer service charge because of reserves in the sewer funds. The MIa costs of
the Olympic Training Center and Chula Vista Auto Park pump stations are proposed to be paid
by those entities under separate agreements with the City. The cost of removing the Mission
Verde and Candlewood sewage pump stations and reconnecting the sewers to gravity systems
will be addressed in the agenda statements for the reimbursement agreement with McMillin
Development, developers of Rancho del Rey.

percentage of the total surcharge as that determined by dividing the number of
EDUs for which building permits have not been obtained by July I within that
party's ownership by the total number of EDUs within each zone subarea for
which building permits have not been issued by July I of that year. EDUs shall
be evaluated based on the "EDU factor" described below.
The Director may, at his discretion, review the status of funds available
for the purpose of operating and maintaining said pump station at any time during

likely to be depleted within 30 days, the Director shall notify EastLake in writing
of such situation and require EastLake to provide sufficient funds to provide for
said maintenance and operation to July 1 of that fiscal year pursuant to the
agreement between the City and EastLake as amended, dated June 4, 1991.
EastLake shall, within 30 days of receipt of said notification, deposit said
required funds with the City treasurer. When the next annual determination is
made of the surcharge as described above, the "loan" by EastLake shall be
considered "estimated cost" and the value of the surcharge shall be determined
after such credit.
The Director shall determine for any zone that the "initial rates" no longer

determined by the City Council, and shall be payable upon the billing of such charges
to the owner or the occupant.
B.
1.
Director's Report. Annually, not later than August 10, the City Clerk shall set
the Report of the Director of Public Works filed pursuant to Section 13.14.100
and/or 13.14.110 for public hearing before the City Council and duly cause
Notice thereof and of the filing of said report to be published once at least ten
days in advance thereof in a newspaper of general circulation published in the
City of Chula Vista.
2. Notice to Property Owner. When the Director of Public Works requests that such
charges be collected on the Tax Bill for the first time, the City Clerk shall, in
addition to the notice required by subsection B.l., cause to be mailed to each
person assessed for each property described in the report, at the address shown
on the last available assessment roll, Notice of the filing of the report and of the
date, time, and place of the public hearing thereon. If such charges are collected
on the Tax Bill pursuant to such Notice, annually thereafter such notice need not
be given but only the notice by publication required by subsection B.1.
C. Council Action. The City Council shall conduct a public hearing to consider the amount
of such charges, and whether they shall be collected on the Tax Bill. The first year said
charges are proposed to be placed on the Tax Bill, such action is subject to a majority
protest.
1. If a majority of the owners of affected properties protest placement on the Tax
Bill, the charges shall not be so collected, but shall be established by City
Council Resolution and collected pursuant to subsection D hereof.
2. If there is no majority protest and the City Council determines to place the
charges, or some of them, on the Tax Bill, for those to be collected on the Tax

the Tax Bill. The City Clerk shall endorse thereon that it is the report finally
approved by the City Council, and forward the appropriate data forthwith to the
County Auditor for enrollment on the Assessment Roll, and ultimate collection
by the Tax Collector on the Tax Roll in accordance with Health and Safety Code
Section 5473 et seq.. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 5473.8, all
laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of real property taxes
including, but not limited to, delinquency, correction, cancellation, refund and
redemption, are applicable to such charges.
a. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 5471 and 5473.10, the City
Council shall establish by ordinance the charges as those set forth in said
report (along with any corrections) and hereby establishes the basic
penalty for delinquency in the amount of 10% of the delinquent amount,
plus one and one half (1-112) percent per month for nonpayment of the
charge and basic penalty (designated for administrative convenience only
in the Master Fee Schedule), which shall also be collected by the Tax
Collector on behalf of City.
b. The Director of Finance shall give Notice to the owner of any parcel
when any such charges become delinquent for 60 days, and of any
penalties and interest thereon as provided herein, and that they shall
constitute a lien with the force, effect and priority of a judgment lien
against the lot or parcel against which it was imposed, good for three
years from recordation, if recorded. The Director of Finance shall record
with the County Recorder, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
5473.11, a certificate specifying the amount of the unpaid charges and
penalties and interest thereon, when any such charges become delinquent
for 60 days.
D. Non-Tax Bill. Alternatively, the charge and the billing therefor may be combined with
other utility bills and separately designated, or otherwise billed and collected, as
determined by the City Council. Said charge, together with penalties and interest, and
reasonable attorneys' fees (hereafter collectively referred to as Charge), shall be a charge
on the property served and shall be a continuing lien upon the property served, the lien
to become effective upon recordation of a Notice of Delinquent Sewer Service (aml/er
Sewage Püm¡¡ S!!ItiOR) Charge. Each such Charge also shall be the personal obligation
of the person who was the owner of such property served at the time when the Charge
was levied. The personal obligation for Delinquent Sewer Service (imd/er Se'Nage Püffi¡¡
S!!Itieß) Charges shall not pass to an owner's successors in title as their personal
obligation unless expressly assumed by them.

Any Charge imposed in accordance with this ordinance shall be a debt of the owner of
property served from the time the Charge is levied. At any time after any charges have
become delinquent, the City Engineer may file for record in the office of the San Diego
County Recorder, a Notice of Delinquent Sewer Service (lUIcl/or Sewage Pamp StfttiOfl)
Charge as to such property served, which notice shall state all amounts which have
become delinquent with respect to such property served and the costs (including attorneys
fees), late penalties and interest which have accrued thereon, and the amount of any
charges relating to such property served which is due and payable although not
delinquent. The notice also shall contain a description of the property served with the
name of the record or reputed record owner of such property, and the name and address
of the trustee authorized by the City to enforce the lien, if by nonjudicial foreclosure as
provided below. Immediately upon recording of any Notice of Delinquency pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section, the amounts delinquent, as set forth in such
notice, together with the costs (including attorneys' fees), late penalties and interest
accruing thereon, shall be and become a lien upon the property served described therein,
which lien also shall secure all costs (including attorneys' fees), late penalties and interest
accruing thereon. In the event the delinquent charge and all other charges which have
become due and payable with respect to the same property, together with all costs
(including attorneys' fees), late charges and interest which have accrued on such
amounts, are paid fully or otherwise satisfied prior to the completion of any sale held to
foreclose the lien provided for in this ordinance, the City Engineer shall record a further
notice, similarly signed, stating the satisfaction and release of such lien.
Each lien may be foreclosed as and in the same manner as the foreclosure of a mortgage
upon real property under the laws of the State of California, or may be enforced by sale
pursuant to Sections 2924, 2924(b), 2924(c) and 1367 of the California Civil Code, or
any successor statute or law, and to that end, the right to enforce the lien by sale is
hereby conferred upon the City and its trustee designated in the Notice of Delinquent
Charge, or a trustee substituted pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2934a. The
City shall have the power to bid for the property served at a foreclosure sale, and to
acquire and hold, lease, mortgage and convey the same. Suit to recover a money
judgment for unpaid charges, costs, late penalties and attorneys' fees shall be
maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the same. In any action
by the City to collect delinquent charges, accompanying late charges or interest, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of its costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
E. Penalty for Delinquency. If the sewer service aRM or pamp StatiOfl charge is not paid
before the close of business or postmarked before midnight of the final date for payment
as shown on the billing, a basic penalty of ten (10) percent of the charge(s) shall be
added thereto, plus one and one half (1-112) percent per month for nonpayment of the

charge and basic penalty (designated for administrative convenience only in the Master
Fee Schedule); provided, however, that when the final day for payment falls on Saturday,
Sunday or a legal holiday, payment may be made without penalty on the next regular
business day.
F. Service Discontinuance. In the event the owner or occupant of any premises shall be
delinquent in payment of the sewer service 8.Hd/6£ ptlffi3 statiøH charge and such
delinquency continues for a period of five days after the final date for payment of such
charge, the city shall have the right, forthwith and without notice, to discontinue sewer
ftßd/6r ptlffip stllti6H service to such delinquent owner or occupant, and sewer fIIldier
p\:lffip stfttieR service shall not again be supplied to such person until all delinquent sewer
service IIRd/or p\:lffip stlltieR charges plus the penalties thereon as herein provided have
been paid. The sewer service aAd/or pUffip statiOA charges may be collected by suit in
any court of competent jurisdiction or any other manner.
G. Unlawful Connection. In the event that any parcel or building is determined by the
Director to have been unlawfully connected to the public wastewater system, the City

building as provided in section 13.06.110. Sewer aRd/or p\:lffip statiOR service shall not
again be supplied to such parcel or building until all delinquent sewer service aRdier
p\:lffip statiOR charges which have been accumulated during the current ownership of the
parcel or building, plus a basic penalty of 10% of the delinquent sewer service aRefer
p\:lffip statiOA charge plus one and one half (1-1/2) percent per month for non-payment
of the charge and the basic penalty (designated for administrative convenience only in the

SUBMI'lT.ED BY: Special Planning Proj(1s Manager, Otay Ranch Project_
REVIEWED BY: City Manage~ ~~ì 4/5ths Vote: Yes_No.1O
The City Council, on January 25, 1994, authorized City staff to begin the process of
amending the current sphere boundaries and implementing the General Plan for the
Otay Ranch Project. A key element of those studies is the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans
and supporting studies required by the General Development Plan. To maintain
continuity it is recommended that the firm of Remy & Thomas be retained to review
environmental documents for the Sphere of Influence study; the SPA Plan; provide
processing guidance of all supporting environmental documents to assure compliance
with CEQA and avoid litigation predicated upon alleged deficiencies in
environmental documents or improper processing of the documents.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving a Three Party Agreement
between the City of Chula Vista, Otay Vista Associates, and Remy & Thomas to
review environmental documents and provide legal advice to City staff and
Authorizing the Mayor to Execute and sign said Agreement.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION: The City desires to employ a law firm with expertise and
experience in reviewing environmental documents for compliance with the State and
City guidelines and procedures of CEQA in reference to the Otay Ranch Project
Sphere of Influence Study and the preparation of a new Environmental Impact
Report for the study. Remy & Thomas has provided legal support on this project
since its very beginning in November 1991 in such areas as Environment Impact
Report and General Development Plan preparation and review. On January 18,
1994, the City Council retained their services to represent the City in litigation filed
against the Otay Ranch Project. Remy & Thomas offers special CEQA expertise that
is not available in-house.

On May 9, 1994, a revised deposit agreement was signed by Otay Vista Associates
for a payment schedule. Pursuant to the agreement, Baldwin Vista, has made all
the required payments on time. The agreement specifies that all FY93-94 and
FY94-95 expenditures are to be current prior to the 25th of the succeeding month.
The agreement stipulates that late payments accrue interest at the rate of 4.384
percent per annum. In addition, the City of Chula Vista has the option to stop
processing all Baldwin discretionary applications if the deposits are not received
prior to the 25th of each month. In a separate agreement, all accrued charges
related to the litigation shall be paid prior to going to trial.
Remy & Thomas shall perform the legal environmental services on an as needed
basis for a not to exceed figure of $25,000.00. The current work program anticipates
completion of the Sphere Study and the report being filed with LAFCO in
November 1994. Remy & Thomas was paid: in 1990 $7,380.85; 1991 $39,462.17;
1992 $42,146.34; and 1993 $71,169.65. The contract, approved by Council on March
29, 1994, to represent the City in defense of the lawsuit is for $225,000.00 in legal
servIces.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no fiscal impact to the City of Chula Vista. Otay
Vista Associates will be funding this scope-of-work ($25,000.00) through their
agreement and monthly deposit to the Otay Ranch trust account.

Rudolf () b

4/sths Vote: Yes
No...lL
When the City of Chula vista and County of San Diego approved the
final version of the Otay Ranch Project, part of the approval was
an indemnification agreement by Otay vista Associates (successor to
Baldwin vista Associates), indemnifying the City and the County in
the event of an attack on the project approval. Chaparral Greens
thereafter sued, alleging inadequacies in the final program EIR
and/or violations of CEQA. Council, by Resolution No. 17547 on
January 4, 1994, ratified a Three-Party Agreement whereby Remy and
Thomas (Tina Thomas, Esq.) would represent the City pursuant to
that indemnification agreement, at otay vista's expense. On March
29, 1994 the Council approved the First Amendment to Agreement,
increasing the maximum compensation from $75,000 to $160,000. On
May 10, 1994 the Council approved the Second Amendment to
Agreement, increasing the maximum compensation from $160,000 to
$295,000.
Approval of the resolution and agreement will authorize Tina Thomas
of Remy and Thomas to continue to represent the city in that
litigation at otay vista's (Baldwin's) expense, and further
increase the maximum compensation from $295,000 to $395,000. The
matter is now set for trial on September 19, 1994.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached resolution approving the
Third Amendment to the City's Agreement with Remy and Thomas for
legal representation in the Chaparral Greens litigation.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A.
DISCUSSION:
Approval of the resolution will increase the maximum compensation
set forth in the Agreement from $295,000 to $395,000. It will
allow continued representation of the City by Tina Thomas of Remy
and Thomas, the attorney who has provided advice with regard to
compliance with CEQA and the adequacy of the EIR throughout the
entire planning process. Both the City and the county are named as
Real Parties in Interest in the litigation, and the defendant is
the Baldwin Company, through its corporate entity, otay vista
Associates.
¡¿'... /
FISCAL IMPACT: $100,000, the difference between the old
authorization ($295,000) and the amount herein approved ($395,000),
which by the agreement is to be paid by the Baldwin Company and the
establishment of a deposit account. The City has no funds exposed
for payment of attorney's fees in this matter. Our duty to pay the
attorney is dependent on collection of funds from Baldwin.

representation services in connection with the Chaparral Greens
lawsuit; and
WHEREAS, the city of Chula Vista, by Resolution 17426 on
March 29, 1994, approved a First Amendment to Agreement to provide

of Commerce agreement to provide general information services for
two years and amending contract.
Public Information coordinat~
Deputy City Manager ~/r1i l~
.~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~ ~ ~ (4/5th Vote: Yes _ No )
In 1987, the City Council approved a one-year agreement with the Chula Vista Chamber
of Commerce for general public information and referral services. In 1988, the City
Council approved another agreement for a one-year term with options for the City to
extend it for two additional one-year terms. By exercising these options, the City extended
this agreement through FY 1990-91. A new contract with an initial term of three years
through FY 1993-94 was approved by the City Council in September 1991. That contract
included an option for the City to extend the agreement for an additional two-year term.
ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Council adopt the resolution exercising the option to
extend term of the Chamber of Commerce agreement through
FY 1995-96, at a cost of $30,147 for FY 1994-95, and
amending the original contract. The Chamber of Commerce
concurs with this recommendation.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable
DISCUSSION:
The proposed extended term and contract amendment effectively continues the agreement
which the City has had with the Chamber of Commerce for the past three years. The
general purpose of this agreement has been and continues to be the provision of general
public information services to residents, visitors, mass media, potential business site
selectors, and others making inquiries about Chula Vista.
To more accurately reflect what the Chamber is doing to provide information services, the
City has amended the scope of services to include representation at events and
management time. The Chamber has started taking an active role in representing the City
with booths at economic development trade shows like the Small Business Trade Show
presented by Assemblyman Tom Connolly in February and the Small Business Exposition
in May, and at special events like the Del Mar Fair, and the Insurance and Financial Round
/l~ I

Meeting Date

7/"'¡'1
Tables using data from the City Business License Permit questionnaire. In addition, a
significant amount of Chamber management time is required to ensure that all of the duties
of the contract are performed in a timely and professional manner.
The contract also has been amended to delete the CPI (Consumer Price Index) increase for
FY 1994-95 and makes a CPI increase for FY 1995-96 an option at the City's discretion.
This change reflects the recessionary economic times facing the community as well as the
City's flat revenues and budget constraints. The recommendation to delete the CPI increase
in FY 1994-95 is in-line with other City contracts. The Chamber concurs with this change.
The basic information service of the Chamber is governed by the following provisions:
1. The extension carries the contract for one additional two-year term (FY
1994-95 through FY 1995-96).
2. The payment for FY 1994-95 would not increase from the $30,147 paid in
FY 1993-94. The City paid the Chamber $28,500 in FY 1991-92, with
subsequent years' payments increased by the CPI up to a maximum of 5% per
year.
3. The contract may be terminated by either party for any reason by providing
30 days written notice.
4. The Chamber shall respond to all walk-in, phone and mail inquiries.
Responses will be accurate, cooperative and timely, and will promote
goodwill on behalf of the City. The Chamber shall provide qualified and
adequately trained staff to respond to a broad range of inquiries as specified
in the contract.
5. The Chamber shall show no preferential treatment to Chamber members or
any other group or individual persons or businesses. However, whenever
possible, referrals shall be made to Chula Vista businesses.
6. The Chamber shall submit quarterly reports to the City showing the number
and type of inquiries and responses, and the costs associated with providing
the service.
7. The Chamber shall not charge a fee for providing information unless
specifically approved in writing by the City. The Chamber may charge a fee
for maps which it prints and produces. Large booklets may carry a minimal
charge following further consideration by the City.

8. The City's contract payments shall be used solely for providing general
infonnation services and shall not be used to support any political activities.
9. The Chamber shall provide new and pertinent infonnation to the visitor
infonnation centers, and shall develop and utilize standardized packets of
infonnation for response to general inquiries with the City's Community
Development Department.
The Chamber's Quarterly Reports provide a good indication of the range of services the
City is obtaining from this contract. In the course of FY 1993-94, a total of 12,408
inquiries were initiated on general infonnation items. The number of inquiries has
remained fairly constant during this contract period. The breakdown by subject matter
during the past year is as follows:
TOTAL AVG. PER MONTI-I
New Resident 462 39
Tourist/Visitor 1107 92
Special Events 1028 86
Government Services 850 71
Mexico 1808 151
Business/Service Referrals 1830 153
General Civic Infonnation 1653 138
Mass Transit 311 26

12408 1034
*Other category includes 75%-business problem solving; 10%-business start-up kits; 5%-
business relations; SOlo-citizen complaints and SOlo-clearing house for Social Services.
One factor which the quarterly report does not reflect is public satisfaction with the level
and quality of service provided. A post card survey was started recently and to date only
14 responses have been received. However, all but one of the respondents rated the
service as excellent (the other person said it was good), all said they received their
infonnation in a timely manner, and all respondents felt that they had been treated
courteously by Chamber employees. Staff intends to continue this fonnal survey during

the contract extension period.
CONCLUSION:
The services covered by this contract can be provided more efficiently by the Chamber than
by City staff. Current staffing levels do not pennit the City to respond to the volume and
types of inquiries received by the Chamber. While it would be possible to hire and train
additional employees to perform these tasks, the costs of salaries and benefits would exceed
the cost of contracting for the services.

The FY 1994-95 cost for this service will remain at the FY 1993-94 cost of $30,147. It has
been budgeted and approved in the Non-departmental Budget. Had the CPI increase been
included, it would have amounted to a total contract amount of $30,780 or an additional
$633. As indicated previously, this potential increase has been deleted from the contract.
The base amount of the contract was $28,500 for FY 1991-92 with subsequent costs of
$29,469 in FY 1992-93 and $30,147 in FY 1993-94.
All Chamber contract expenditures by the General Fund are 50% reimbursed by the
Redevelopment Agency.

ITEM TITLE:
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
The HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME Program) is a federal housing program
which allocates funds by formula directly to state and local governments to promote affordable
housing. HOME funds may be used to provide affordable rental housing and home ownership
through new construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, and tenant-based rental assistance.
Participating jurisdictions are able to provide this assistance to both for profit and non-profit
housing developers or directly to qualified home buyers or renters. The assistance may take the
form of grants, loans, advances, equity investments, and interest subsidies.
Over the past three years the City has been allocated a total of $1,895,000 of HOME funds.
Last year the City spent $610,000 of these funds for the development of a short-term housing
facility for homeless families. Every year HUD requires the City to prepare a HOME Program
description, stating how it intends to use the HOME allocation and how it will comply with
various HOME regulations. Past year program descriptions have split the funds evenly between
three categories; new construction, substantial rehabilitation and acquisition, as a good starting
point until specific opportunities arose in any of the categories.
If the City Council wishes to amend the HOME program description it may do so at any time.
For example, if the Council should decide to do more rehabilitation or acquisition rather than
new construction, it can amend the HOME program description by resolution. HUD approval
is not required.
RECOMMENDA nON:
That the City Council adopt the resolution amending the 1993/1994 and the 1994/1995 HOME
Program descriptions by increasing the acquisition category to reflect the availability of sufficient
funds to undertake the Trolley Terrace, an affordable for-sale housing development with
associated. childcare.
/).~J
Page 2, Item

I)",
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDA nON:
The Housing Advisory Commission is supportive of the Trolley Center Terrace project for which
the HOME funds are recommended to be used.
DISCUSSION:
Elsewhere in this July 19, 1994, agenda, the Council is considering the acquisition of a 2.01-acre
property located at the northwest corner of Ada and Industrial Boulevard for the potential
development of a for-sale housing development with associated childcare. The site would be
developed by a team of non-profit organizations. At present, Habitat for Humanity and Episcopal
Community Services are working on a proposal.
Procedurally, in order to be prepared to use the HOME funds for this acquisition, it will be
necessary to amend the current 93/94 and 94/95 program distribution of funds by increasing the
homeowner property acquisition category, as indicated in Exhibit A to the resolution to reflect
the availability of sufficient funds necessary to undertake the housing project. This can be done
by increasing the homeowner property acquisition category. Fund balances in the other
development categories will be shifted, and the total HOME grant amount will remain the same.
FISCAL IMPACT: The amendment of the HOME Program description will be the first step
toward expending a maximum of $643,000 for the acquisition of an affordable housing site. A
benefit of the timely use of the HOME funds for this for-sale affordable housing project is that
it will make the City eligible in the short-term to receive additional HOME funds from HUD that
are recaptured from other cities that are not performing adequately.

Council Referral No. 2342
In accordance with the federal Clean Water Act Amendments of 1987, on December 8, 1988
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) proposed regulations for the
issuance of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits to regulate
storm water discharge to waters of the United States. The final version of these regulations
was issued on November 16, 1990. In order to allow local agencies an opportunity to
gradually come into compliance with the USEPA regulations, on July 20, 1990 the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB) issued an "early" NPDES permit
(CRWQCB Order No. 90-42) for the San Diego Region. The permit covers all of the eighteen
incorporated cities, the County of San Diego, and the San Diego Unified Port District. The
conditions placed on the City and all other co-permittees in Order No. 90-42, if complied with,
are the legal equivalent of compliance with the federal regulations.
Order No. 90-42 specifies a number of tasks that must be undertaken by each agency. One
task requires all agencies to enact the necessary codes, laws, and ordinances to ensure the
implementation of federally mandated storm water and urban runoff pollution control programs.
This ordinance accomplishes that task by making it unlawful for any person to discharge
pollutants to the City's storm water conveyance system. Further, the proposed ordinance
13-/
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 7/19/94
/3
complies with the "early" NPDES Permit requirements and with the federal regulations, with
which the City must be in full compliance by July 1995.
At the June II, 1991 meeting of the City Council, the Storm Drain Fee and Fund were
established to fund implementation of the NPDES program. Council also directed staff to
include, as part of its annual review of the Storm Drain Fee, options for levying and collecting
fines against those individuals that violate discharge regulations in lieu of continual increases
in the fees, which would affect all storm water conveyance system users (Council Referral No.
2342). A discussion of this issue is included herein.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council conduct a hearing on the enactment of an
ordinance for Storm Water Management and Discharge Control, introduce the ordinance (Item
b) for first reading, and accept staff s report on Item c, as described in the above titles.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
Each time it rains, pollutants are washed off streets, roofs, lawns and landscaping, parking lots,
and other urban areas and are discharged untreated. either directly or indirectly, into surface
waters (creeks, streams, rivers, coastal wetlands, bays, oceans, etc.). These discharges can lead
to the degradation of the affected surface waters. Pollutants include, but are not limited to,
sediments, oil and grease, heavy metals and toxic materials. Table I lists pollutants that are
tvpically present in urban runoff and the common sources of these pollutants, based upon
national studies.
Federal and State mandates require the implementation of storm water and urban runoff
pollution control programs in order to prevent, control, and/or reduce pollutants entering into,
carried through, and discharged from storm water conveyance systems to surface waters. The
Federal and State storm water program consists of regulating discharges from municipal storm
water conveyance systems, from specific industrial facilities, and from construction sites or
developments that disturb at least five acres. Permits are issued and administered by the State
Water Resources Control Board for all three facets of the program. Enforcement of the
Permits is by the State Water Resources Control Board and by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
Order No. 90-42 is a permit regulating discharges from municipal storm water conveyance
systems in San Diego County. This permit implements those laws and similarly requires the
development and implementation of programs for the reduction and/or elimination of pollutant
and non-storm water discharges to State and Federal surface waters. Order No. 90-42 is
scheduled to expire on July 16, 1995, at which time the San Diego County co-permittees
(including Chula Vista) are required to be in full compliance with NPDES regulations.

One task requires that each permittee inventory existing storm water and urban runoff pollution
control programs, including existing laws, ordinances, and codes giving the permittee the
authority to implement and enforce storm water pollution control programs within its area of
jurisdiction. If the permittee lacks sufficient regulations and/or authority, then the permit
specifies that codes, ordinances, and other laws must be enacted to ensure implementation of
the program. Failure to do so is a violation of Order No. 90-42, the California Water Act, and
the Federal Clean Water Act and could result in the imposition of severe fines, penalties,
and/or imprisonment upon the City of Chula Vista and/or its officials.
In response to this requirement, the staffs of the San Diego County co-permittees formed a
subcommittee in April 1992 to develop a "generic" storm water management and discharge
control ordinance based upon Order No. 90-42 and the NPDES regulations. This "generic"
ordinance would be used by all twenty co-permittees as the basis for a storm water ordinance
in each of their jurisdictions. Between April 1992 and February 1993, the subcommittee
developed the "generic" ordinance and in February 1993, the final draft of the ordinance was
completed. Using the subcommittee's final draft as a basis, the Department of Public Works
and the City Attorney's office developed the proposed "Storm Water Management and
Discharge Control" ordinance. To date, six co-permittees (City of San Diego, City of EI Cajon,
City of Vista, City of Imperial Beach, City of Escondido, and County of San Diego) have
approved ordinances based upon the "generic ordinance".
The proposed "Storm Water Management and Discharge Control" ordinance is generally
consistent with the "generic ordinance", but has been modified in order to be compatible with
existing provisions in the Chula Vista Municipal Code. These changes include the following:
I. Definitions have been added, clarified, or deleted, as necessary;
2. Ambiguities have been corrected;
3. Provisions that duplicate existing sections/regulations of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code have been incorporated by reference;
4. Administrative, sampling, and inspection procedures have been modified to be
consistent with those procedures specified in Title 13 "Sewers"; and,
5. Administrative enforcement and judicial enforcement procedures have been
modified to be consistent with those procedures specified in Title 13 "Sewers".
DISCUSSION:
Review of the current Municipal Code revealed little in the way of ordinances which could be
used to control the discharge of pollutants to the City's municipal storm water conveyance
system from all sources. There is a "general nuisance" law and ordinances prohibiting the
discharge of liquids and solid wastes to streams and bays, but there is no comprehensive
prohibition regarding the discharge of all pollutants to all components (i.e., streets, gutters,
inlets, pipes, ditches, etc.) of the City's storm water conveyance system. Table 2 (attached)
shows existing Federal, State, and local regulations that are helpful, but not entirely effective
/3 -,1

Meeting Date 7/19/94

on their own, in controlling stormwater pollution from all sources, including unregulated
businesses, industries, and individual residents. The proposed Ordinance will prohibit the
discharge of pollutants, both directly and indirectly, to all parts of the City's municipal storm
water conveyance system. Section 14.20.100 of the proposed ordinance states that "It is
unlawful for any Person to discharge Non-Storm Water into the Storm Water Conveyance
System.... ", with some specific exceptions, including fire fighting water, landscape irrigation
and lawn watering, potable water discharges, non-commercial car washing, dechlorinated
swimming pool water, and facilities with a State NPDES discharge permit. Even the exempted
discharges may be regulated if they are later determined to be in violation of State and Federal
water quality standards.
The ordinance requires any person, business, industry, or construction site that is engaged in
activities which will, or may, result in pollutants entering the City's storm water conveyance
system to undertake measures to reduce the risk of non-storm water or pollutant discharges to
the maximum extent practicable. The ordinance also requires persons owning or occupying
property through which a natural watercourse passes to keep it free of trash, debris, and other
pollutants which may subsequently wash downstream into the City's storm water conveyance
system.
Compliance with the proposed ordinance will require that people think before they dispose of
anything, or allow the disposal of anything, in the storm water conveyance system. Some new
or additional costs for the implementation of best management practices may be incurred by
the City, residents, and those businesses and industries not currently regulated by an NPDES
Storm Water Permit. These best management practices include properly cleaning parking lots,
sidewalks, and other paved surfaces of dirt and debris, properly disposing of wastes and other
materials, and properly maintaining watercourses. However, none of these requirements are
particularly burdensome or expensive and they apply equally to all nersons in the City, not just
a small segment of the community. Businesses and industries that are currently regulated by
an NPDES Storm Water Permit must simply comply with the requirements of their permits in
order to be in compliance with the proposed ordinance. In order to significantly improve the
quality of urban runoff discharged to, conveyed through, and discharged from the City's
stormwater conveyance system to the receiving waters, all persons must take part in pollutant
reduction, no matter how small that part may be.
The Storm Water Management and Discharge Control ordinance is an integral part of the
City's Best Management Practices (BMP) program, which aims at the reduction and/or
elimination of pollution that is conveyed via the City's municipal storm water conveyance
system to the Otay River, the Sweetwater River, and San Diego Bay, as well as to the City's
creeks and other natural drainage courses. The proposed ordinance will enable the City to
comply with the explicit mandates of Order No. 90-42 and the USEP A storm water regulations.
The ordinance will not require new nermits or fees. However, it will mandate that all citizens,
business persons, and property owners in the City reduce and prevent urban runoff pollution,
/3'1
Page 5, Item
Meeting Date 7/19/94

which has been identified as a major cause of the degradation of receiving waters in the United
States.
The proposed ordinance gives the City the authority to perform inspection and sampling
activities, after obtaining legal entry pursuant to consent or an administrative search warrant
issued by a court, on any premises within the City that discharges to the City's municipal storm
water conveyance system and is suspected of possible pollutant discharge to the City's storm
water conveyance system. Enforcement action, pursuant to the ordinance, will only be taken
if water sampling and testing by the City or the polluter indicates that a violation from a
specific site has occurred or if other physical evidence indicates that a violation from a specific
site has occurred. If remedial action is not taken by the party or parties responsible for a
violation, then the ordinance provides for administrative and judicial remedies, both civil and
criminal. The ordinance also allows the City to recover all costs (at the full-cost recovery rate)
associated with detecting a violation, identifying the source of that violation, and eliminating
the pollutant discharge and/or reducing the pollutant volume, concentration, or mass to legal
discharge limits.
It is important to note that the City must actively enforce this ordinance because, under the
Federal Clean Water Act, the State Water Code, and Order No. 90-42, the City is responsible
for any and all discharges to and from the municipal storm water conveyance system, including
discharges from facilities regulated by an NPDES General Permit. The City is, therefore,
subject to the possible imposition of fines and other penalties by the CRWQCB and the
USEPA if individual or cumulative discharges from the City's municipal storm water
conveyance system are found to violate the water quality standards and/or water quality
objectives of a receiving water. From the CRWQCB's and USEPA's perspectives, fining the
City is more practical than fining the actual discharger because a violation is easier to identify
and affix blame at the point of discharge from the municipal storm drain system. For this
reason, it is in the City's best interests to identify and control pollutant discharges to the
municipal storm water conveyance system to the maximum extent practicable. Furthermore,
the CRWQCB and USEPA expect municipal co-permittees to actively identify and control
pollutant sources in order to satisfy requirements of municipal storm water discharge permits.
It must also be noted that the federal laws mandating that the City implement municipal storm
water discharge permit requirements are relatively new and are another new unfunded mandate
by the Federal Government. These laws require regulated municipalities to develop adequate
funding on their own for the implementation of all aspects of their urban runoff and urban
runoff pollution control programs. The City of Chula Vista has complied with the requirement
to develop adequate funding by establishing the Storm Drain Fee in June 1991.
PROPOSED ENFORCEMENT STRATEGY:
Staff proposes that initial enforcement of the ordinance consist primarily of identifying and
then terminating illegal discharges/dumping and un-permitted or undocumented physical
13 ,...r
Page 6, Item
Meeting Date 7/19/94
1::3
connections to the City's storm water conveyance system. In addition, polluters and the
general public will be educated, through direct contact and public outreach programs (i.e., mass
media, City newsletter, etc.), about the problem of urban runoff/storm water pollution and how
their activities may contribute to the problem. Upon first violation of the ordinance, it is
proposed that polluters be issued warnings, which will help to educate them about their
inappropriate actions, the Storm Water Management and Discharge Control ordinance, and the
potential consequences for violating discharge prohibitions. If the issuance of a warning is not
effective with an individual discharger or does not produce the desired results (i.e., reduction
and/or elimination of pollutant discharge to the municipal storm water conveyance system
and/or the implementation of pollution prevention measures), then these recalcitrant polluters
will be issued citations, including fines and/or other civil penalties. Criminal penalties will be
reserved for those dischargers that repeatedly and willfully violate the discharge prohibitions.
Staff believes that this enforcement strategy will garner public support for the proposed
ordinance and for the City's storm water and urban runoff pollution control programs. This
is because these programs are intended to affect changes in awareness, attitudes, behaviors,
habits, and practices with respect to use of the storm water conveyance system. Simply
commanding compliance from the regulated community (i.e., residents, businesses, and
industries) would be ineffective because so many of the common practices that cause storm
water and urban runoff pollution were formerly legal and are ingrained in individuals and in
society.
Inspection and enforcement of the ordinance will be accomplished with Public Works/
Operations staff, Public WorksÆngineering staff, Code Enforcement staff, and City Attorney
staff (if necessary). In addition, other agencies such as the County Department of Health
Services, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the City of San Diego Water Utilities
Department/Industrial Waste Program (for illicit connections or illegal discharges to the City's
storm water conveyance system that should be discharged to the City's sanitary sewer system),
may be utilized, if necessary, to fully enforce the provisions of this ordinance. All City staff
administrative and enforcement activities related to this ordinance will be reimbursed from the
Storm Drain Revenue Fund. Specific staff have not yet been identified to perform inspection
and enforcement activities.
It should be noted that for those businesses and facilities which have been issued NPDES
Storm Water Discharge Permits by the State Water Resources Control Board and/or Regional
Water Quality Control Board, the primary enforcement of said permits rests with those
agenctes.
OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR LEVYING AND COLLECTING FINES IN LIEU OF
CONTINUALLY INCREASING STORM DRAIN FEES:
As stated previously, the proposed "Storm Water Management and Discharge Control"
ordinance enables the City to impose fines and other civil and criminal penalties upon those
) :I -¿

Meeting Date 7/19/94
I~
persons, facility owners, and facility operators that have caused or contributed to storm water
pollution and to recover costs, at the full-cost recovery rate, incurred by the City for pollutant
detection and mitigation.
Collection of fines and recovery of City detection and mitigation costs will enable the City to
fund a portion of its enforcement-related activities in lieu of increasing the Storm Drain Fee
for said enforcement. However, because the maioritv of storm water pollution cannot be traced
to specific sources and, in fact, is due primarily to the cumulative impacts of pesticide,
herbicide, and fertilizer use, automobile operation (i.e., exhaust particulates, tire wear, leaking
fluids, etc.), improper waste disposal practices, and erosion and siltation from all sources and
land uses (residential, industrial, and commercial), future increases in the Storm Drain Fee will
most likely be necessary. It should be noted, however, that, since its enactment in June 1991,
the Storm Drain Fee has not been increased. The Storm Drain Fee rates will continue to be
reviewed annually and all sources of Storm Drain Fund revenue, including fines and other civil
penalties, will be considered by staff in order to maintain adequate funding for the NPDES
program.
As outlined in the previous section, staff proposes that the City adopt a "Complaint and
Response" enforcement strategy, with an emphasis on public education, rather than the
immediate imposition of penalties. However, recalcitrant polluters will be issued citations,
including fines and/or other civil penalties. Criminal penalties will be reserved for those
dischargers that repeatedly and willfully violate the discharge prohibitions. "Complaint and
Response" enforcement relies on the observation and reporting of illegal dischargers and illicit
connections by concerned citizens and alert City maintenance, operation, and other personnel.
This enforcement strategy is particularly effective if the general public is properly educated
about storm water and urban runoff pollution, which is another requirement of Order No. 90-
42.
At this time, the cost of this level of enforcement and the net value of fines levied cannot be
determined due to the transient and unpredictable nature of illegal discharges to the storm water
conveyance system.
OTHER ADDITIONS/AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 14:
Existing sections 14.04.010, 14.06.010, 14.08.030, 14.08.090, 14,08.140, 14.08.170, 14.10.010,
and 14.14.010 of the Municipal Code need to be amended to refer to Title 14 ("title") or to a
specific chapter within Title 14, rather than "division". In addition, Section 14.04.010 needs
to be amended to refer to the purpose and intent of the discharge prohibitions in the proposed
Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Ordinance (Chapter 14.20). Section
14.06.030 is recommended to be repealed because the definition of "Watercourse" is found in
the "Definitions" section of Chapter 14.20. Section 14.06.030 is, therefore, duplicative and no
longer needed.
13- ?
Page 8, Item I .J
Meeting Date 7/19/94
Also, Chapter 14.18 "Wasting Water" is recommended to be repealed because the local water
agencies have ordinances prohibiting the wasting of water and have enforcement personnel that
are ready, willing, and able to enforce violations. Therefore, this Chapter of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code is no longer necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT: Fiscal impacts are unknown at this time because the extent of illicit
connections and illegal discharges to the storm water conveyance system is not known. On
June 11, 1991, the City Council enacted Ordinance 2463, which established a Storm Drain Fee
and Fund to pay for the establishment and implementation of storm water management
programs required by Order No. 90-42. This ordinance, and its enforcement, is one component
of the City's storm water management program. Sufficient funds are available in the Storm
Drain Revenue Fund to finance the enforcement of the proposed ordinance for at least one
year. The General Fund will be reimbursed from the Storm Drain Fund at the full cost
recovery rate for all staff activities associated with enforcement. Fines and other civil and
criminal penalties will be imposed if deemed appropriate for the violation. Fines collected will
be deposited in the Storm Drain Fund and will enable the City to lessen, but not eliminate, the
need for future increases in the Storm Drain Fee.
The NPDES storm water program is an unfunded federally mandated program that is
anticipated to become even more costly for the City to implement in the near future as the
Regional Water Quality Control Board adds more monitoring and control features to the
permit. As the NPDES program continues to develop, we anticipate that the State's
requirements will continue to increase.
In 1991, the Engineering Division hired one Engineer using Storm Drain Fee revenues. This
engineer is responsible for developing the programs required by Order No. 90-42. However,
as the City's responsibilities increase under this program to possibly include increased
enforcement of the proposed ordinance, additional permanent staff or more technical consultant
services may be required. These increased costs are not likely to be offset by the imposition
of penalties. In that instance, increases in the Storm Drain Fee will most likely be necessary.
When sufficient information has been developed as to the extent of illicit connections and
illegal discharges to the City's storm water conveyance system and the actual costs of
enforcement, the Department of Public Works will provide the City Council with a follow-up
report on the results of enforcement activities and of actual and future staff and funding
requirements. This report will also include an estimate of revenues from fines and other
penalties.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item IY
Meeting Date 7/19/94
ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
Public hearing to consider testimony on the establishment of Zone 8 in Open
Space District 20 for Rancho Del Rey Development for the perpetual
maintenance of a desilting basin
Director of Public wor~ ~ ~
City ManagerJi ~~\
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_No X )
REVIEWED BY:
A desilting basin was built by McMillin Development in City open space off-site of Rancho del Rey
land to trap silt which washed down from the upstream development. After maintenance by
McMillin for 5 years, the City will have to maintain the basin. Formation of Zone 8 within Open
Space District 20 will provide financing for this maintenance.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council open and close the first public hearing to consider testimony
on the establishment of Zone 8 in Open Space District 20, for Rancho Del Rey Development for the
perpetual maintenance of a desilting basin. The second public hearing is scheduled for July 26,
1994.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Back!!round
Pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 1, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code,
and the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, the City Engineer has prepared and filed this report.
The report includes a new zone for assessing properties, within Rancho del Rey development,
tributary to a newly constructed desilting basin located at the downstream end of the Bonita drainage
basin to pay for its maintenance and maintenance of an access road for hauling silt cleaned from the
basin. Establishing a zone for maintenance of the basin is consistent with Council Policy which
states that naturalized channel costs may be recovered through an open space district.
The heavy rains of the winter of 1992-1993 carried silt from the newly graded Rancho del Rey, Spa
II subdivision and deposited silt into the downstream pipes at Bonita Road and the Willow Street
bridge area. The builder and owner of the properties, Rancho del Rey Investors, agreed to construct
an access road as well as a desilting basin to forestall future problems. Pursuant to our policy,
McMillin Development Company is responsible for maintaining the basin for 5 years following
completion of the grading. Staff anticipates that the basin will be turned over for maintenance in July
1999. Subsequent to that date the City will maintain the basin using the funds collected through the
Open Space District 20, Zone 8.
/'1- /
Page 2, Item 1,/
Meeting Date 7/19/94
Boundarv
Staff proposes that a zone within Open Space District 20 be established to assess the properties
tributary to this desilting basin (See Figure 1). All property within this zone is presently owned by
Rancho Del Rey Investors or one of their guest builders.
Maintenance and Costs
The anticipated maintenance items are debris and silt removal from the desilting basin and
maintenance of the access road. This maintenance will be necessary to ensure that there will not be
excessive build-up of silt which would subsequently reduce the needed capacity of the basin and thus
could cause siltation downstream. The design engineer, Group Delta Consultants, estimated that the
basin can accumulate 428 cubic yards of sediment before cleaning is required (See Attachment B).
The design engineer has estimated that the annual sediment yield into the basin after the five year
maintenance period will be 200 cubic yards. This will allow for a two year cleaning interval. The
maintenance road will provide access from the south and is to be constructed of a 6 inch section of
decomposed granite. The road will need to be regraded twice a year and replaced every 8 years.
The estimated cost of this maintenance is indicated in Table 1.
UÞm. (1) Cost
l,.OS~
Regrade access road (twice a year) $500 $1,000
Replace access road (once every 8 years) $11 ,000 $1,375
Debris and silt removal (once every 2 years) $2,500 $1,250
Subtotal $14,000 $3,625
Total Yearly Assessment $3,625

Methodolo!!v
The methodology for spreading Zone 8' s cost is based on the amount of storm water runoff
anticipated for the various land uses on an acreage basis. Only those parcels which are tributary to
the desilting basin are proposed to be charged. Table 2 summarizes the factors used to determine
the spread which is consistent with the methodology used for Zone 1, East H Street desilting basin
within this district. The calculation is based on one (1) dwelling unit per acre (DUlAC) at $35.18
per year. Other yearly rates are multiples of the spread factor times the $35.18 per year assessment
(see Table 2). A typical annual assessment is $35.18. There are 546 parcels in the zone with spread
factors ranging from .33 to 1 depending on the parcel density.

Assessment
The proposed assessment for Zone 8, Fiscal Year 1994-1995 is $OIEDU as the developer must
maintain the basin for the first five years. The ultimate assessment is projected to be $35.18 per
typical dwelling unit.
Notice
The public hearings have been noticed pursuant to Government Code 6063 which requires that notice
be published at least once a week for three weeks 10 days before the second public hearing.
Also pursuant to Section 54954.6 of the Government Code, property owners subject to an increased
assessment shall be notified of the two hearings by mail 45 days in advance of the second public
hearing. All property within Zone 8 is presently owned by Rancho del Rey Investors or one of their
guest builders. All owners within the proposed open space zone (Zone 8) were notified of the
proposed improvement and both public hearings.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City recovers its costs from the open space assessments. Costs associated
with establishing the zone are covered by a deposit made by the developer.

Attention: Ms. Donna Snider
Regarding: Rancho Del Rey Open Space District No. 20
Cost Estimate for Maintenance of Gabion Retention Basin
Dear Donna:
In response to your letter of March 23. 1993. we present the
following estimate of the cost to maintain the retention basin which
has just been const·ructed downstream of Rancho Del Rey SPA II. The
basin is to be maintained by funds from District No. 20 after an
initial maintenance period by us. This estimate assumes that Rancho
Del Rey will maintain the basin for the next five years.
approximately. during which the residential subdivisions upstream
will be completed.
The design engineer. Group Delta Consultants. has estimated that 428
cubic yards of sediment can be deposited in the retention basin
before it will require deaning. They have estimated the sediment
yield in the drainage basin. at the time when the District would begin
maintenance. to be about 200 cubic yards per year, Therefóre they
estimate that the basin would need to be deaned every other year.
hi a'ddition to cleaning the basin. we assume that some minor
maintenance to the access road would be required so that trucks
could haul the sediment out. The access road also is an equestrian
trail and will receive some level of maintenance because of that.

NOTICE OF INTENDED ASSESSMENT
The City of Chula Vista by Resolution # 17488 (below) declared its intention to form an open
space maintenance zone within the existing Open Space Maintenance District No. 20 for the
perpetual maintenance of a gabion desilting basin and its access road located within City open
space. The proposed zone consists of properties north and south of Rancho del Rey Parkway
from Terra Nova Dr. to Abeto Court that are tributary to the gabion drainage structure. An
estimate of the proposed assessment is $35.1 B per year per single family dwelling with no
assessments to be levied for the first 5 years. The annual revenue raised by this zone is

ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing to consider testimony on the establishment of Zone E within Eastlake
Maintenance District No.1, for the perpetual maintenance of Telegraph Canyon
channel
Director of Public Work~ ,
City Manager J,l1 ~ ~
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoX)
SUBMITIED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
On May 24, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution 17504 declaring the intention to establish Zone E
within Eastlake Maintenance District NO.1 (ELMD1) to provide for the maintenance of Telegraph Canyon
drainage channel pursuant to the City/Eastlake Development Company agreement. Tonight's public hearing
will consider testimony for assessing benefitting properties within Eastlake Maintenance District No. 1 for
their pro rata share of the costs.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council open the first hearing, take testimony, and close the first hearing;
and hold the second hearing on July 26.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On May 24, 1994, Council declared its intent to establish a zone (Zone E) within ELMD1 for assessing
properties for maintenance of the section of Telegraph Canyon drainage channel recently improved. Council
reviewed several alternatives (Attachment I) and adopted the staff recommendation in this report. Tonight's
public hearing will consider testimony for establishing Zone E within Eastlake Maintenance District No. 1
(ELMD1) to provide revenue for the drainage channel maintenance. The second hearing, originally noticed
for tonight shall be continued to July 26 after which Council may take action to establish Zone E and levy
the corresponding assessment. Council approved the levy of assessments for FY 1994/95 for ELMD 1 Zones
A and B on June 21, 1994 which overlap Zone E. The proposed, combined assessments are shown in
Attachment F.
The following report outlines the boundary of Zone E, assessment schedule, maintenance costs,
methodology, and notice requirements.
Boundarv. Assessment and Maintenance Costs
The method of assessment spread approved on May 24 consists of assessing all benefitting properties within
Eastlake Business Center and Eastlake Greens via Zone E, ELMDl. Table 1 outlines the proposed
assessment for properties within the proposed boundary of Zone E.

Residential ~ $22.82/EDU Industrial ~ $34.24/ac Commercial = $30.36/ac
Staff proposed that Zone E ultimately cover the cost of the channel maintenance for the three phases of the
channel between Eastlake and the end of the improvements at the western boundary of Rancho del Rey east
of Paseo Ladera. The boundary and future areas of benefit as shown on Attachments A and B are all of the
currently undeveloped properties within these limits and include Sunbow II, Baldwin, Rancho del Rey SPA
'f 3, and T~raph Canyon Estates. Staff has calculated Eastlake I and the Green's prorated share of the
overall channel maintenance to the undeveloped properties (Rancho del Rey, Baldwin, etc.) at approximately
20.4 % as outlined in Table lA. Staff anticipates creating a zone within various future and existing open
space maintenance districts to incorporate the cost of all three phases in future and existing districts where
the properties drain into this channel.

TOTAL $8,784 $22.82IEDU
It is proposed that Eastlake Greens and the Business Center be assessed their pro rata share of only Phase
I of channel maintenance in FY 94/95 (fable I) because staff anticipates that the other two phases will not
be ready for turnover.
The above table also incorporates the cost of formation of the district. Staff proposed and City Council
approved that the cost of formation of Zone E be spread among the benefiting properties in the same manner
as the maintenance cost. Eastlake Development Company has advanced the funds to form the zone within
the open space district and is required to be reimbursed from the district pursuant to the development
agreement (Attachment E).
Methodolo!!v
The methodology for spreading Zone E' s cost is based on the amount of storm water runoff anticipated for
various land uses on an acreage basis_ Table 3 summarizes the factors and outlines the various rates based
on land use. This is consistent with the methodology used for Open Space District No. 20 which includes
channel maintenance as a responsibility. The calculation is based upon 1 EDU/AC at $22.82 per year
assessment. Other yearly rates are multiples of the spread factor times the $22.82 per year assessment. A
typical residential assessment in Zone E for the channel maintenance is under $5.00 per year.

Notice and Public Hearings
All owners within ELMO 1 were notified of the proposal to establish Zone E within ELMD I and those who
fall within Zone E and will pay the additional cost were notified of the proposed assessment based on the
estimated future cost pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Staff also conducted a meeting
on June 23 to provide information regarding Zone E to any interested property owner within ELMD!.
Representatives from Eastlake Development Company and the Eastlake golfcourse were in attendance and
do not oppose the Zone. No other property owners attended.
The assessment may not be imposed if a majority protest, by assessable land area, exists after the close of
the second public hearing. Staff has received one written protest included as Attachment H and also received
two phone calls against this proposal out of 300 properties proposed to be assessed.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of formation of this zone and the cost to analyze the overall basin is estimated
to be $14,000. Eastlake Development Company has deposited the funds for this work.
Approval of Zone E, after the second public hearing will provide $1,815 of revenue to be used for channel
maintenance and $571 to be used for reimbursing Eastlake Development Company for district formation
costs Fiscal Year 1994/95. The balance needed for the channel maintenance for Fiscal Year 1994/95 will
be provided by Telegraph Canyon Estates, OSD 31, ($534) and Eastlake Development Company ($6,552)
pursuant to the City/Eastlake Development Company agreement. Ultimately, when all three phases of
drainage channel maintenance is turned over to the City, Eastlake Development Company's obligation will
increase to $29,646 (73.6%) until the other properties in the drainage basin develop.
All costs are calculated at full cost recovery rates.

REVIEWED BY: City ManagerJG\ Þk~~
' U (4/5ths Vote: Yes No _I
BACKGROUND:
In January 1986 the fuel oil transfer pipe serving SDG&E's South Bay Power Plant
developed a leak. To repair the leak, SDG&E secured the necessary permits from the
City of Chula Vista and received the appropriate direction from the Regional Water
Quality Control Board. Several monitoring wells were drilled to perform soil and
groundwater contamination sampling during the course of the fuel oil clean-up. In
September 1986 the Regional Water Quality Control Board notified SDG&E that no
further remedial actions were necessary.
Recently, SDG&E became aware that monitoring wells which have no further purpose
are required, by the San Diego County Department of Public Health Services,
Environmental Health Protection Section, to be removed and closed. In response,
SDG&E is planning to remove the wells.
The proposal is a class 15304(c) CEQA exemption from environmental review.
SDG&E will need to obtain a Well Abandonment Permit from the San Diego County
Health Department in addition to a Coastal Development Permit from the City of Chula
Vista.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City council conduct a public hearing and adopt a
resolution:
1. Finding that the proposed removal and filling of seven existing test wells is
consistent with the policies of the certified Chula Vista Local Coastal Program;
and
2. Issuing Coastal Development Permit #066 subject to conditions.

Meeting Date -2jL-LY1 If
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
SDG&E proposes to retain the services of a licensed drilling subcontractor to ream the
existing well boreholes and remove the existing 4 inch diameter metal well casings
which are approximately 10 feet deep. (A map of the site and well locations are
attached as Exhibit A.) Twelve to eighteen inches around each pipe will be excavated
and will result in about a 24 inch diameter hole that will be backfilled with bentonite
to about 2 feet below grade and the last 2 feet will be filled with native soils as
recommended by Woodward-Clyde Consultants.
No grading will be required. Existing backfill around the existing well casings will be
excavated and removed. This material will be placed in 55 gallon steel drums and
taken off the site to an approved disposal/storage yard on SDG&E property. Generally,
an area of about 75 sq. ft. at each well will be disturbed from the work and
equipment. These areas have been previously disturbed and will be hydroseeded with
a biological seed mix as recommended by Pacific Southwest Biological Services, Inc.
As stated above, the site has been previously disturbed. It is located within the 150
ft. wide SDG&E transmission tower line easement just north of the Nature Interpretive
Center parking lot within the Chula Vista Coastal Zone. The site is accessible from
existing maintenance roadways. A remnant marsh area is located nearby but no
intrusion will take place since all work will be conducted within the currently disturbed
area.
Findinas
Based on the following findings, the proposed removal of test wells, subject to
conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B, is consistent with the policies of the
certified Chula Vista Local Coastal Program:
1. The proposed well removal will not cause disturbance to any undisturbed natural
vegetation or wetland resources. Excavation activities will be limited to the area
disturbed previously when the wells were installed. The area of work will be
revegetated in accordance with a qualified biologist, and the well casings will be
removed and boreholes filled in accordance with the County of San Diego and State
of California regulations.
2. The statewide and Regional Interpretive Guidelines have been reviewed and the
proposed project conforms with the requirements of Section (c) of the Public
Resources Code. That section states that for every coastal development permit issued
between the nearest public road and the shoreline, a specific finding shall be made
that such development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation
policies of Chapter 3. The proposed well removal will not impact or impede access to
or the use of existing public recreational facilities nor will the project preclude
I ¿. ~ "'"
Page 3, Item 1(,
Meeting Date ~hl.f
development of such resources, therefore the project proposal is in conformance with
the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3.
FISCAL IMPACT;
Issuance of Coastal Development Permit #066 will not result in any financial benefit
or impact to the City of Chula Vista.

Re; South Bay SDO&E Monitoring Well Removal
Dear Marie,
& you have requested. we have coa.sidered the proposed well removal and the need for resuding the area once
well removal is complete. & you are aware, Pacific Southwest has conducted . considerable amount of work in
the Chula Vista Bayfront over the past years aud as a result, we are kunly aware of the areas environmental
conditions. We are currently under contract to restore habitats on the Sweetwater River National Wildlife Refuge.
We undentand your needs to be the development of. seed mix for reseeding upland areas disturbed by the removal
of the wells, Similar uplaud seading was conducted by Santa Fe Land and WaU Dcvelopment in 1987 when
imported soil was brought to the central portion of the bayftont. Vegetation was not irrigated and due to the regular
coastal fog plants grew vigorously . We have selected a similar species list to recommend to you.
Becataè of the small size of the well nlmoval disturbance area, we would recommend that seeding be by band
broadcast as opposed to hydrost.eding, No carrier, mulch or .""",d""""ts would be necessary if suding is done
in this manner. The site mould be disced or ripped prior to planting. The seeding mould be dOlle aud im.tl1ediately
heavily watered with a high spray and large droplets !raID a water truck to force seeds into cracks and crevices.
~ sead mix should consist of the following:
Species
Plantago inruÚlris
Encelia calffornlca
Artemisia cali/arnica
Erlogomml fasciculaturn
/10coma veneta
lbs/ac.
5.0
8.0
10.0
6.0
4.0
Should hydroseeding be preferred, 1000 1\)$/ac, of 'Silva' mulch and 160 lbs/ac, binder should be used in the mix.
& you are aware, the uplands of the bay!ront are highly disturbed and as a result, weed" will always be a problem.
An infestation of woeds is likely. however, seeding would provide some opportunity for native vegetation
establishment and the reduction of erosion potential.
1 hope this information is what you requin. If you have any further questions on this issue, please call.

agreed upon by Sexton and City staff. These terms, as modified by
council input at this meeting, will provide the basis for the draft
contract to be brought back for Council consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Conceptually approve the business terms and
direct staff to return with a proposed contract no later than
8/2/94.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
DISCUSSION:
Not applicable.
This report is a summary of the key business terms included in
Attachment A. These terms have been prepared by the City Attorney
and have resulted from negotiations with John Sexton Contractors/
Chula vista Sanitary Service (Sexton), City staff and the city's
solid waste consultants, Brown, Vence & Associates (BVA).
The business terms are consistent with the proposal for solid waste
transfer station, materials recovery facility, transfer hauling and
landfill disposal services submitted by Sexton in February, 1994 in
response to the City's RFP. As a result of that process, as
Council is aware, Sexton was found to be the most responsive,
qualified and cost effective proposer for the city's solid waste
request.
The following are key issues in the business terms, along with
reference notes corresponding to the attachment:

City but the fees will be folded into the tip fee for the
transfer station operation. The city will be responsible for
the option to purchase the site.
The City, however, has reserved the right to terminate the
contract at any point. This option is to protect the City in
the event that the county system is eventually determined to
be the most cost effective alternative, or other alternatives
evolve which are not contemplated at this time. In the case
where the City terminates this agreement, Sexton would be
eligible for reimbursement of costs to date, as stated in the
agreement. Sexton's fees are broken into six-month increments
of $30,000 each, and the reimbursable consulting services are
on a cost basis with no pass-through or additional charge
assessed by Sexton for those services.
4. Conditional Iv Exclusive oDtion to ODerate . . Sec. XII
(Pg. 5)
One of the considerations to Sexton in this agreement is the
ability to be able to operate the transfer station facility
should the city decide to proceed. This was the fundamental
basis of the Sexton proposal which included a total project
process from inception to completion and operation. The City,
however, chose to segment the project and break it into phases
so that there would be more latitude on decision points as to
whether and how to proceed prior to making any more
substantial financial commitment.
For these reasons, Sexton has asked, and staff is supporting
the concept that, if the transfer station proceeds, Sexton
would have the ability to become the transfer station operator
under certain conditions. This option does not preclude the
city's ability to name another firm as operator of the MRF or
to allow Sexton to subcontract MRF operations.
The city has been
must be met for
following:
careful in defining the conditions which
this exclusive option, including the
o The City must decide, once the transfer station has
been permitted, to proceed with the project within an
eight-month time period.
o The city has not decided to terminate the contract or
otherwise pay Sexton the management fee or the
reimbursable consultant fees.

o The city is completely satisfied with Sexton's
performance for this phase of services and Sexton has
adequately fulfilled all of its obligations under the
agreement.
o The city or its agent has proceeded with final design
and financing the construction of the transfer station at
a designated site.
o The city and Sexton have entered into an agreement for
additional services with terms and conditions that meet
with the City's approval, predicated upon rates that are
consistent with Sexton's RFP response submitted in
February, 1994.
o The City will have the right, unless otherwise agreed
to, to establish the fees, the right to set and collect
the fees at the scale house, etc. This right may be
exercised with respect to construction and operation
costs, replacement costs, and a reasonable amount of
return on investment made by any party. How this is
implemented will depend upon whether or not the City
finances and constructs the transfer station, or elects
to have Sexton finance and construct the transfer
station, and then transfer ownership to the City.
The city recognizes that this conditionally exclusive option
to operate is an important business term to Sexton.
5. Termination at Citv's Convenience. . Sec. XIII (Pg. 6)
To retain city control and flexibility, the agreement ~ontains
two important considerations: (1) the City is not making any
commitment for any long term operation of the transfer
station, and equally important, (2) the city is not making any
obligation to commit a specified amount of waste to go through
the transfer station over any specified period of time.
These are issues which will need to be addressed as a part of
any subsequent operational agreements. A key point brought
out at several of the prior Council deliberations was that the
city should not enter into a "put or pay" contract for the
municipal waste stream.
In conclusion, the city feels that the contract has been negotiated
in good faith by all parties and that the City has minimized its
risk and continued' to provide the Council with the greatest
latitude to pursue alternatives and options as they may become
available. Finally, by undertaking this transfer station process
the City has not made any commitment as to the ultimate disposal of

Billing Insert Regarding Changes in Refuse Rate
-_.........-'-"~-
At the 7/12/94 meeting, Council approved a pass through of the
increase from $43/ton to $55/ton in landfill fees that went into
effect at the County landfills on 7/1/94. As part of that action,
Council directed staff to prepare a billing insert to help explain
to the public the rate increase as well as the City's efforts to
help stabilize the rates in the future. The attached draft was
prepared with input from the City's Public Information Coordinator,
Conservation Coordinator and Laidlaw staff.
Comments or suggested changes on the draft can be forwarded to the
City Manager's office or brought up under the weekly discussion of
solid waste issues at the 7/19/94 meeting. Following the receipt
of those comments, the insert will be prepared for distribution
around 7/22/94.

July 22, 1994
To Chula Vista Residents:
The City of Chula Vista is seriously concerned about the high cost of trash disposal
In San Diego County. Since the City does not set the rates, we are actively moving
ahead with a plan to provide more control over rates, the lowest rates possible, and
long-range stability in rates. Because of a recent increase In the rates at the
County landfills, you will notice some changes in this bill. These are some answers
to questions we think you may have about the bill. If you have other questions,
PLEASE CALL LAIDLAW AT 421-9400.
a. My bill is different this time... what are the changes?
A. Two changes are reflected in this bill. First, the billing period is
changing from every three months to every two months, which means
this bill is for service in July and August 1994. The billing frequency
will change from four to six times a year. The second change is an
increase in your monthly cost which is solely a result of a raise in the
charges to dispose of your trash at the County landfill. For example,
the rate for a single-family household for once-a-week refuse and
recycling service is changing from $14.43 to $16.17 a month.
a. Who receives the money collected from this increase?
A.
None of the revenue from the increase will be received by the City},and
Laidlaw will be paying all of the increase directly to the landfill
operator to cover the increased charges at the landfill.
a. Can I do anything to help keep these costs down?
A. YES! The most effective way you and your family can help keep the
rates down is to REDUCE, REUSE¡ and RECYCLE. The City offers an
easy way to recycle through curbside collection. If you want to know
more about recycling and composting, call the City's Conservation
Coordinator at 691-5122.

6.2.2 TECHNICAL COMPONENT FOR MATERIALS RECOVERY FACILITY
dt;h; Ihf.r-
1.
PROCESSING FACILITY
The anticipated start-up date for operation of the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) is
1998. The Company understands, however, the development of the MRF is at the City's
discretion and may never become part of this project. If constructed, the MRF may be
located adjacent or close to the transfer station building and be at least 30,000 sq. ft. in
area. The MRF will utilize mechanical and manual,positive sorting. Tipping may still
occur in the transfer building, however, conveyors may transfer waste into the recovery
building for sorting. Wastes not recovered in the processing building will be conveyed
back to the transfer building for compaction and transfer to the disposal facility.
The MRF will include a bale storage area where processed recoverables are baled and
stored for future transport as well as a load--out area for shipping material bales to their
respective markets.
2. PROCESSING METHODS AND PROCEDURES
Below is a conceptual process description of the MRF. Absolute numbers of process
lines, conveyors, and equipment may vary with final design and diversion rates required.
After weighing in, each vehicle will be directed to a specific location in the receiving area
of the transfer facility; wood and construction debris to the first conveyor, residential
waste to the third and fourth infeed conveyors, and commercial and industrial wastes to
infeed conveyors 2, 3 and 4. Customers having to unload by hand will be directed to
unload next to the cross COJ;lveyor that feeds incline section of infeed conveyor 2.
Unprocessable waste, such as sewage sludge, inserts and any special waste that may be
accepted will be sent directly to the landfill for unloading and disposal. The waste sent
directly to the landfill for disposal will not be accounted for as waste received at the
recycling facility for the purposes of calculating the recovery rate.
/7 -IS:
Page 26
Each load, as it is dumped, will be inspected by a floor spotter. The floor spotters will
be specially trained to identify potentially hazardous materials. An effort will be made
to determine the origin of any industrial/commercial generated hazardous material and,
when possible, that material returned to the generator. In accordance with federal and
state regulations, hazardous materials discovered and removed during the recovery process
will be classified, packed and temporarily stored in a properly designed portable storage
container for transport to, and disposal at, a licensed hazardous waste disposal facility.
The floor spotters, with assistance from the front-end loaders will also sort bulky items
such as white goods and pallets for recovery as the material is being spread and pushed
into the receiving pits.
Because the waste will not be received uniformly through the working day, some material
will be stored for later processing. This material may be stockpiled within the building.
All of the primary sections of the receiving conveyors will be "live floors" and will be
depressed 3' to 5' below the tipping floor elevation to allow for the normal waste surges
and storage. The second or inclined section of the infeed conveyors will be chain-driven,
rubber conveyors. A wall will separate the receiving area from the processing and
finished product storage areas in order to minimize dust and noise in the main processing
area of the facility.
All sorting or picking conveyors will be of the vibratory type and designed with a
variable amount of sorting stations. Sorters will be moved from line to line and from one
station to another to accommodate the changes in the waste being processed.
Processing Lilie #1 t
Construction/demolition (C&D) materi~ ~n~oo~:Zll b;~~rst infeed
conveyor by one of the front-end loaders when this recovery line is in operation. Floor
sorters, with the assistance of the front-end loader, will remove large, readily salvageable
items prior to them being fed onto the infeed line. This material will then be metered by
the live floor section of the infeed conveyor onto the conveyor feeding the preshredder.
) 7--)6
Page 27
After being processed by the preshredder, the size reduced C&D material will pass over
a finger screen where the minus 2" fraction will be removed, conveyed and stockpiled.
This minus 2" material may be inspected and periodically tested as potential feedstock for
composting. The overs from the finger screen will be conveyed by picking stations where
nonferrous metal, plastic, concrete and miscellaneous trash will be manually removed
from the wood fraction. Ferrous metal will be magnetically recovered. Just prior tot
being fed into the shredder the material passes through a metal detection field. Large
metal objects that might hann the shredder will automatically shut down the infeed
system so that the metal may be removed and recovered. The wood will continue along
the conveyor for final shredding, screening and stockpiling. The finished coarse wood
materials will be sold ,ó!.s a fuel and the fines will be composted.

Processing Line #2
o Cc---
,
p~ ('(eA
( I '
Co~/ '>'I ""S
The second line has been designed to process primarily dry commercial/industrial waste
with high concentrations of old corrugated cardboard (acC). Constructed like the other
infeed lines, the first section is a 6' wide live floor, and will be fed from the floor with
one of the front-end loaders. Subsequent to the material being fed onto the infeed
section, floor sorters will remove large bulky items, such as white goods and pallets.
At the second or inclined section, a sorter will remove the plastic bagged waste. The
bagged material will be conveyed to a debagger for separation, the empty plastic bags
conveyed to a container for storage and the bag contents conveyed back to the infeed
section of the third line for further processing. The inclined section of line 2 will feed
a 15" trommel screen for the first stage sizing. The trommel will be enclosed with the
enclosure externally ventilated to control dust emissions. The overs from the trommel
screen will pass by picking stations on a vibrating conveyor for acc removal. Clean
wood that has not been removed prior to the material being fed onto the initial infeed
section will be removed for processing on line I. The recovered acc will be stored in
one of the live floor storage bins under the picking conveyors, that feeds the baling
system.
The unders from the trommel are screened by a 2" vibrating finger screen, with the overs
being conveyed by picking stations on a vibrating conveyor for the removal of recylables

------.-- -----....,
and/o~de,sirable.0Aluminum cans, glass bottles, PET and HDPE plastics, magazines,
and old newspapers (ONP) will be hand picked off the conveyor, while ferrous metal will
be magnetically recovered. The aluminum, plastics, magazines and ferrous metals (mostly
cans) will be stored in the live floor bins for baling. ONP will be conveyed to a bulk
load-out station for direct haul to the mills. Glass will be conveyed to storage bins to
await loading and transport to market.
If the quality of paper crossing the plus 2" minus 15" conveyor is such that grades of
mixed waste paper can be recovered, contaminates, such as film plastic, will be manually
removed and the material off the end of this conveyor will be diverted to, and stored in,
, one of the live floor bins feeding the baling system, When mixed waste paper is not
being recovered, the minus 2" material passing through the finger screen and the material
off the end of the overs line will be conveyed to a rej ect load-out station and loaded into
live floor trailers. This material will then be trucked to the landfill.
Processing Lines #3 & #4
The third and fourth lines are basically similar, except that the primary section of the #4
infeed conveyor is twice as long (80' instead of 40') as the other infeed lines and therefore
doubles this line's infeed storage capacity. Both lines are designed to process residential
and the commerciallindustrial waste that is not processed through lines I and 2. In order
to maintain the highest quality products and maximize recovety, only one basic type of
waste will be processed at a time over each of these lines. That is to say that residential
waste will not be processed at the same time and over the same line with commercial or
industrial waste. When one type of waste is being processed, the other types of refuse
will be stored in one of the designated area of the receiving building,
The first section of these lines is a 6'-wide live floor and like the others will be fed trom
the floor by one of the front-end loaders. Floor sorters working together with the loaders
will remove the bulky items and transport them to other areas of the receiving building
for storage or processing.
At the second or inclined section, a sorter will remove the plastic bagged waste. The
bagged material will be conveyed to a debagger for separation, the empty plastic bags
/7~/rr
(
Page 29
conveyed to a container for storage and the bag contents conveyed back to the infeed
section of the third line for further processing. At the end of the inclined section of both
lines, the conveyors feed a 12" finger screen. The overs are conveyed on vibrating
picking conveyors where oee, ONP, wood and possibly film plastic (if a market exists)
are recovered. Material traveling the length of the overs conveyors will follow onto the
discard load-out station. The recovered material will be stored in the live floor bins
below the picking station in order to be fed into the baling system.
The unders from the 12" finger screens are further screened by 2" vibrating finger
screens, with the overs being conveyed by picking stations on vibrating conveyors for the
removal of recyclables and/or undesireables. Aluminum cans, glass bottles, PET and
HDPE plastics, magazines, and ONP will be hand picked off the conveyors, while ferrous
metal will be magnetically recovered. The aluminum, plastics, magazines and ferrous
metals (mostly cans) will be stored in the live floor bins below the picking stations for
baling. ONP will be conveyed to a bulk load-out station for direct haul to the mills.
Glass will be conveyed to storage bins to await loading and transport to market.
Again, ifthe quality of material crossing the overs conveyors is such that grades of mixed
waste paper can be recovered, contaminates, such as film plastic, will be manually
removed and the material off the end of the conveyors will be stored in one of the live
floor bins feeding the bailing system. When mixed waste paper is not being recovered,
the minus 2" material passing through the finger screens and the material off the end of
the overs lines, will be conveyed to the reject load-out station.
Baling System
Recyclable material recovered from the picking lines that is to be baled will be stored on
live floors in the storage bins directly below the picking stations. In addition, material
to be baled from the drop-off and buy-back areas will be transported in containers and
unloaded into the storage bins. The live floors, on request of the baling operator, will
deliver, onto a chain driven rubber belt, the material in the bins. The speed of this chain
driven belt, which feeds the baler and thus the live floors, is automatically governed by
the capacity of the baler. Each type of material baled will be batch fed so that at least
a minimum of one bale of each material can be made at a time.
/ 7 --- /~
Page 30
Forklifts will move the baled material ITom the baler to the bale storage area and
stockpile it for shipment. Transportation of the finished products will be scheduled to
coincide with the production of full truckloads.
Buy-back and Drop-off area
Citizens with source-separated materials will be directed to the Buy-back and Drop-off
area, where they will place their materials in clearly marked bins. Items that are
purchased by the Company will be weighed prior to placement and customers will be paid
a posted rate for each commodity. Each full bin will be weighed and the weight recorded
prior to it being hauled to respective storage area for further processing and/or shipping.
The smaller open-top bins will be hauled and dumped into the larger bins by a standard
roll-off truck.
Controls
"
The control system for the material recovery process will use programmable logic
controllers (PLC) for each of the four lines. The PLCs will allow for the continuous
reporting and recording of the status of each piece of equipment in the materials
processing operation. The data file produced ITom the infonnation recorded will be used
by the plant maintenance crew to schedule preventive maintenance for each piece of
equipment.
The PLCs will be programmed for nonnal start-up and shut-down, and for emergency
shut-down. The sequence for nonnal start-up on any of the four lines will be to start the
last piece of equipment on a line first and subsequently start each piece until the
beginning of the line is running. Shut-down occurs in the reverse order of start-up,
however there will be an additional time delay to allow each piece of equipment to clear
the material it's carrying before stopping. If for any reason, a piece of equipment on a
line was to shut-down, without hesitation or delay all the equipment feeding this piece
would shut-down. Throughout the plant and along each picking conveyor there will be
shut-down buttons or cords to stop the entire system in case of an emergency. Lock-out
switches will be located near and for each piece of equipment for maintenance. In
addition, each line of the entire system can be locked-out at the central electrical control
panel.

The vibrating finger screens, the trommel, the vibrating sorting conveyors, the reject
conveyors and the truck loading conveyors operate at a constant speed. The rate that the
material will be fed to the aforementioned units is controlled manually by the first sorter
on each line. This individual will be able to adjust the speed of the inclined feed
conveyor and the live floor sections of the line, and therefore regulate the amount of
material fed to the screens and passing by the sorters. The sort foreman and the lead
sorter on each line will be able to communicate by two-way radio with the tipping floor
foreman and the loader operators feeding the infeed conveyors in order to better
coordinate the overall recovery operation.
The Company shall submit the MRF for a continuous, 28-day perfonnance test to
demonstrate the material recovery capabilities of the facility.

The MRF was designed with the assumption that the transfer station waste stream were
obtained by assuming transfer station waste quantities will be reduced by 20% from the
quantities found in Table 2-1, Waste Composition, included in the RFP, due to waste
diversion of specific materials prior to delivery to the transfer station. In addition, it was
assumed 70% recovery of recyclables from the transfer station waste stream.
The Company understands only diverted materials that assist the City in meeting its waste
diversion goals may be counted as such unless the Company receives written pennission
from the City to count other materials not detennined as devertable under AB939.
4. STATUS OF FACILITY
The MRF may be constructed on the transfer station site and will be developed when
needed. It will be pennitted as a new material recovery facility.
5. MARKETING STRATEGY
A critical element of any materials recovery system is the marketing of the recovered
materials. With the recycling mandates of California's AB 939 and the strong recycling
movements through out the rest of the West, there is a dramatic increase in the volume
of recycables entering the marketplace.
This tremendous supply expansion has and will lead to periodic market absorption
problems. Only secondary material producers with consistently high quality and grades
of recovered products will be capable of moving their material. An ability to efficiently
process and recover high grade materials, coupled with an effective capability for material
marketing will be essential to successfully meeting the diversion goals.
While markets for aluminum have been relatively stable over the years, markets for other
materials have been volatile. It is likely that the current instability in paper and plastic
markets will continue as programs to recover these materials are implemented faster than
markets develop to absorb them.
/ 7~~d-
Page 33
Material recovered at the MRF will be pulled from a mixed waste stream. Most of the
waste arriving at the project will arrive in standard compactor vehicles. Compacting
waste in a vehicle can cause contamination of paper and other recoverable materials with
wet (e.g., food) waste. This could jeopardize the quality and quantity of the material that
can be recovered from the waste stream. If markets are glutted, a lower quality recovered
material from a mixed waste processing facility may be displaced by cleaner source-
separated materials obtained from curbside collection programs.
Long-term, well established market relationships, with both domestic and foreign end-
users, will assure access into many diverse markets and enable the movement of
recovered materials under both favorable and unfavorable market conditions.
End-users need to be assured to a constant flow of high-grade secondary materials, and
long-term supply in order to establish receiving agreements. Receivers in California that
manufacture recycled products with a rninimum 50% secondary content and 10% post-
consumer content can enjoy a 40% tax credit for the cost of the manufacturing equipment.
6.2.3 TECHNICAL COMPONENT FOR HAULING SERVICES
1. HAULING METHOD AND PROCEDURES
Alternative #1- Railhaul
48' containers will be loaded with the use of AMF AB compactors and transferred from
the Chula Vista facility to the Campo Landfill by railhaul along the San Diego & Imperial
Valley (SD&IV) Railroad. Intermodal containers, which are manufactured to
specifications outlined by the International Standards Organization (ISO), will be supplied
by Accurate Industries or equivalent (refer to Attachment 6).
Within the transfer station, CAT 950 and CAT 973 front-end loaders will be used to load
the refuse into hoppers. The hoppers direct the refuse to conveyors in order to transport
the materials into two AMF AB TRANSP AK compactors (model TP-500). During periods
when one compactor feed conveyor is shut off during a truck loading cycle, refuse will
be directed toward the other hopper. The AMF AB compactors pre-weigh and compact
/7-;;23
Page 34
untied bales without the presence of containers. As a result, container damage during
loading is virtually nonexistent, which in turn, reduces maintenance costs with respect to
the containers. When loaded, each container will contain 37 to 43 tons of refuse based
on an average compacted refuse density of 950 pounds per cubic yard.
The ISO containers will be removed from the railcars and loaded on a platfonn while
being placed against the compactors with the use of container handlers. Prior to being
connected to the compactor, the rear container door must be secured open by facility
personnel. After each container is fully loaded, the container handlers will then be used
to remove the ISO containers from the platfonn so that they may be stacked two high on
the railcars. Hawthorne Lift Systems Co. will supply two Caterpillar container handlers.
The CAT VIIOOCH (refer to Attachment 6) is capable of handling loads up to 90,000 lbs
when stacking two containers on top of each other. The VII OOCH is designed to provide
easy mounting of the adjustable spreader, which is comprised of integral support arms
extending horizontally from both sides of the carriage neck, providing four-point spreader
suspension. The spreader can be adjusted vertically or horizontally to compensate for
misaligned loads without moving the equipment. The spreader contains twist locks which
attach to the corners of the containers. For safety reasons, a flag on each rear spreader
beam signals when the twist locks are in the locked or unlocked positions.
'.. .~.
Once the ISO containers are loaded onto the railcars, they are held in storage on the
railspur until the SD&IV Railroad returns to remove the loaded railcars. The nonnal
operating hours of the railroad company are from 12:00 am to 6:00 am. SD&IV Railroad
engine(s) will leave the rail yard at 12:00 am. SD&IV will bring an empty set of
containers to the transfer station, which will be utilized for the next day's operations, and
then pick up the full load for transit to the Campo Landfill. At this time, the full
containers will be left along the railspur provided by the Campo Landfill. Campo
Landfill personnel will then remove the full containers the following day for disposal
within the active filling area. A set of empty containers will then be taken back to the
rail yard by 6:00 am. This process will continue from Monday through Saturday.
The SD&IV Railroad is a short-line railroad that operates from San Diego south to San
Ysidro, then across the Mexican border at Tijuana and east to the town of Tecate. The
line re-enters the United States near the town of Campo and crosses the Campo

ITEM TITLE:
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
As noted in the April 7, 1994 staff report, staff is and has been evaluating the feasibility of
preparing an application to the Economic Development Administration (EDA) for funding of two
Border Environmental Commerce Alliance (BECA) initiatives, i.e. the Border Environmental
Technology Resource Center (BETRC) and the Border Environmental Business Cluster (BEBC)
-- the environmental business incubator program. This application is being prepared in
partnership with the City of San Diego and within the umbrella of the existing EDA-funded San
Diego regional economic adjustment program, which is, in turn, in partnership with the State
of California.
As an element of this regional program, the application will require the endorsement of the
newly formed San Diego Technology Council which oversees the San Diego $5.8 million EDA
economic adjustment program and Regional Technology Alliance, (see Exhibit A (pg. A-I),
Tech Council Membership and Programs) as well as the endorsement of the City of San Diego.
Funds would be requested under the Sudden and Severe Economic Dislocation (SSED) EDA
program, which is based upon the loss of defense-related companies and employment, and
requires one dollar of local match for every three dollars of EDA monies. The match can be
in-kind or cash; the higher the cash amount, the more competitive the application. Staff is
recommending that the City seek both cash and in-kind matching funds from several sources as
explained herein, including from the City itself.
The EDA draft Pre-proposal was submitted to the local EDA representative on June 30 for initial
review and comment. (See Exhibit B [pg. A-9]. NOTE: Attachment A of Exhibit B, titled San
Diego Economic Adjustment Program Report, is available for review in the office of the City
Clerk or Community Development Department.) If it is determined to proceed, a formal Pre-
Proposal is due late August/early September. The goal would be to obtain a request by EDA
to submit a formal Application; if successful, we would hope to submit by early October to
compete for FY 94/95 Federal funds.

Meeting Date 07/19/94
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution which would authorize staff to:
(I) continue discussions with EDA regarding the feasibility of submitting an application to the
Economic Development Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce in an amount to be
determined, and to prepare such a formal application as appropriate; (2) request up to $100,000
from the State Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program; (3) identify potential City of Chula
Vista matching monies; (4) pursue the donation from Rohr, Inc., of a building and/or land for
the combined BETRC and BEBC; (5) pursue the potential of Port District matching funds; (6)
submit the EDA proposal to both the San Diego Tech Council and San Diego City Council for
formal approval; (7) develop a proposed BETRC and BEBC Advisory Board; and, (8) accept
the attached updated BECA "Project Plan" in concept.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONSRECOMMENDA TION: The Economic Development Commission
endorsed the BECZ (now BECA) program, including the development of an environmental
technology resource center and environmental business incubator on August 4, 1993. On July 6,
1994 the EDC recommended that Council direct staff to pursue the development of an EDA
application--to fund the BETRC and BEBC--and related endorsements and matching contributions
(vote 5-0-2, with Brene Patrick and Liz Lebron absent; 2 vacancies), see draft excerpt of
Minutes, Exhibit C (pg. A-69).
DISCUSSION:
Scone of Proposal
The draft EDA Proposal, including the draft proposed budget, is provided as Exhibit B. The
proposal calls for the development of a Border Environmental Technology Resource Center
(BETRC) and a Border Environmental Business Cluster (BEBC) incubator program. These are
summarized below:
A. Border Environmental Technolo!1:v Resource Center Å’ETRC)
The proposed BETRC will act as a "satellite center" to the EDA-funded San Diego High
Tech Resource Center, providing general technology based services from a location
convenient to South Bay businesses, and specializing in the environmental technology field.
As the resource center focusing on the environmental industry, the BETRC is proposed to
become the source for state-of-the-art environmental technology education, information,
training, technical, financial and export assistance, environmental regulatory compliance
assistance, and procurement assistance for the Southern California and San Diego business
community. The BETRC is also proposed to provide specialized assistance to the
environmental industry as relates to the international market, with the major emphasis on
Mexico. A full description of the proposed BETRC activities is provided in Section 4.1
of the" Border Environmental Commerce Alliance Project Plan" (see Attachment E of EDA
draft Pre-proposal, Exhibit B [pg. A-19]).
/~".:L
Page 3, Item /?,
Meeting Date 07/19/94
B. Border Environmental Business Cluster Å’EBC)
The Border Environmental Business Cluster (BEBC) is the proposed incubator program
which will serve as a launching pad for start-up businesses focusing on environmental
technologies, approaches to sustainable developments, and environmental efficiency. The
Cluster will provide inexpensive shared space, services, staff and equipment as well as a
network of business development support services, both on- and off-site. The BEBC is
described in more detail in Section 4.2 of the BECA "Project Plan", (see Attachment E of
EDA draft Pre-proposal, Exhibit B [pg. A-19]).
C. Proiect Location/Facilitv Needs
The two programs are proposed to be co-located in a 15-25,000 sq. ft. facility. If EDA
funding is used for buying, leasing or improving the facility, an EDA requirement is
triggered which would require the City to operate the program for approximately 15 years
or to return all EDA funds. Therefore. it is proposed that EDA funds be used for
operatinll costs onlv and that a facilitv be located that can be donated. or made available
at an acceptable cost to the city. Staff is currently negotiating with Roh£. Inc. regarding
the donation of a building and/or land. Specifically, Rohr has identified a 24,000 sq. ft.
vacant office building that could be made available, subject to terms of an agreement with
the City. It is critical that we reach an agreement on this (or another building) in the
immediate future in order to meet EDA application time frames which require a formal
proposal by late August.
D. Prollram Administration
The draft pre-proposal requests EDA funds for BETRC and BEBC staff to include a total
of seven (7) professional and two (2) clerical. The BETRC program is proposed to be
administered by the Southwestern College Small Business Development/International Trade
Center, under contract to the City, administered by the City's Community Development
Department. The BEBC will initially be developed by a team consisting of the City, the
California Business Incubator Network (CBIN) , and Business Cluster Development (BCD),
and managed by CBIN as the Interim Non-Profit administering agency. (Note: Council
previously approved an MOD with CBIN and related contract between CBIN and BCD to
develop an environmental incubator program. The EDA grant opportunity will require that
CBIN and BCD modify their performance schedule to expedite preparation of a Business
Plan to meet EDA timeframes. They are willing to be flexible in this regard; we may need
to revisit the related MOD and contract at some point to modify terms accordingly.) The
recommended goal is to create a permanent non-profit to oversee the BEBC and potentially
the BETRC as well--under the direction of a privately-based Board of Directors, and
subject to program guidelines as established by the City, the San Diego High Tech Council
and the EDA.
It is important to note that the EDA grant is for a period of two to three years. As
proposed, there is no obligation for the City to continue the programs after that time. It
would be the intent to structure the BEBC in an ultimately self-supporting fashion. In terms
/ y., .:J
Page 4, Item J 8'"
Meeting Date 07/19/94
of the BETRC, it should be understood that this may prove to be more difficult, and
continuation of the BETRC program beyond the EDA funding period may be contingent
upon the successful pursuit of additional federal funds -- EDA or non-EDA. Staff cannot
guarantee the availability of such funds.
E. Program Partners
The BETRC and BEBC programs are designed to act as an extension of the existing San
Diego region economic adjustment activities currently funded by EDA, as well as to
support and link into State activities. As mentioned, the BETRC will be a satellite of the
San Diego High Tech Resource Center, providing near-by assistance to SouthBay
businesses. As part of the High Tech Resource Center network, the BETRC will be in
partnership with such groups as the Center for Applied Computer Technologies at City
College, the Supercomputer Center, UCSD Connect, and the new EDA-funded World
Trade Center. Additionally, as the new resource center specializing in Environmental
Technologies, the BETRC will work closely with Cal EPA, benefitting from the Agency's
Environmental Technology Clearinghouse and pollution prevention training programs, for
example. The BETRC will also tie into Cal EPA and California Trade and Commerce
Agency environmental technology export assistance programs, including linking US
companies with Mexico government and corporate clients. The BETRC will work hand-in-
hand with the Southwestern College Small Business Development and International Trade
Center. Another important partner will be Scripps Institute of Oceanography/UCSD
CONNECT, which will bring extensive environmental research related and technology
transfer resources to BETRC entrepreneurial clients.
PrOlITam Budl!et
The proposed budget currently is in its initial stage of development and will be reworked and
refined over the next two to three months in conjunction with proposed partners and with EDA
staff prior to formal application submission to Council and subsequently to EDA. The first draft
budget as submitted to EDA (Exhibit B [pg. A-9]) has already been revised per EDA feedback.
The current version has been separated into two budgets (see Exhibits D and E [pg. A-7I and
A-73]). Exhibit D will be submitted to EDA. Exhibit D shows a total three year EDA request
of $2.65 million, with a cash match of $407,300 and total in-kind/cash match of $1. 12 million.
The cash match is contingent upon receipt of a state Trade and Commerce Defense Adjustment
Grant of $100,000. Exhibit E reflects costs that will need to be absorbed by the City and will
not be included in the EDA budget to avoid triggering the 15 year program commitment.
As indicated, Exhibit E separates out facility related items and is intended to illustrate the
potential cost to the City of these items as the EDA application is currently structured. It
assumes a donated building from Rohr, and shows a potential range of costs to lease the Rohr-
owned land for the 2-3 year period of the grant, i.e. from zero cost to a high end cost of
$34,500 year ($103,500 for 3 years). Additionally, the donated building would need cosmetic
improvements and potentially significant repairs at a cost ranging from $80,000-$115,000 (one-
time Year I costs); therefore, this budget illustrates a potential total cost to the City of up to
18~~
Page 5, Item
Meeting Date 07/19/94
I~
$215,000 for 3 years. The actual cost is subiect to negotiations with Rohr and/or the
, identification of a less costly site.
Proposed in-kind matches identified in the EDA budget (Exhibit E [pg. A-73]) include services
from Cal EPA, Cal Trade and Commerce, California Energy Commission, Southwestern
College, Chula Vista staff, and UCSC/CONNECT. The proposed budget includes cash and in-
kind matches which exceed the grant match requirement. However, it is important to note that:
1) as expenses are refined, they may increase; 2) the cash match is less than the total match
requirement; the more cash, the more competitive; and 3) the overall budget assumes
contributions which have not yet been finalized (particularly the landlbuilding donations and the
State grant).
Annlication Endorsements/Timeframes
As previously mentioned, the newly formed San Diego Technology Council, which is overseeing
the regional economic conversion programs recently funded by EDA, must endorse Chula
Vista's application for funding to indicate regional support for the proposed activities. The Tech
Council is staffed by City of San Diego Economic Development Services with whom Chula Vista
staff have been working closely. San Diego Economic Development Services staff will be
recommending that the Tech Council approve the BECA, BETRC and BEBC programs and the
related EDA application in concept at the first scheduled Tech Council meeting July 14, 1994.
Subsequent to approval of the resolution proposed herein by the Chula Vista City Council, and
formalization of the EDA application, staff will be returning to the Tech Council for formal
endorsement.
Additionally, our application will go before the City of San Diego City Council for their
endorsement. San Diego will be a co-applicant, and again, EDA is looking for regional support
and linkages to the programs which they have already funded.
As indicated, discussions are on-going with Rohr regarding the donation of land, building and
equipment.
Discussions are also on-going with the state Trade and Commerce Agency regarding the Defense
Adjustment Matching Grant. All indications are very positive; a formal application must be
submitted as soon as possible.
Overall tentative timeframes for submissions and approvals are as follows;
I. Draft Pre-Proposal to local EDA June 30

FISCAL IMPACT:
The EDA Draft Pre-proposal budget is being submitted to Council in its Draft stage to advise
Council of staff direction and seek input as appropriate. It must be stressed that the budget will
continue to be modified based upon EDA and other BECA partner input, as well as related
negotiations with Rohr (or other property owners). A Formal Application and Budget needs to
be submitted to EDA by late August/early September 1994.
As currently structured, the draft EDA budget, Exhibit D, requests $2.6 million from EDA and
$100,000 from California Trade and Commerce Defense Adjustment Matching Grant. It also
shows a $17,500 cash match from Chula Vista which reflects the previously recommended
$10,000 in FY 1994/95 funds for SDEDC and $7,500 from South County EDC - which would
be targeted for marketing of the BECA programs in Chula Vista. The related facility-oriented
budget, Exhibit E, illustrates currently identified potential costs to the City (which would not be
included in the EDA application to avoid triggering a 15 year program requirement). Exhibit
E shows a range of $80,000 to $215,000 as the total cost to the City during the life of the grant.
As previously indicated, actual costs depend upon negotiations with Rohr or the location of a
less costly site.
As discussed above, it is important to note the proposed EDA funding is for a period not to
exceed two to three years. As proposed, the application does not commit the City to operating
the program beyond that time. (If EDA funds were used for the building, land, or capital
improvements, EDA would require a 15 year commitment; if not fulfilled EDA could require
all funds to be returned). It would be the City's intent to structure the BEBC incubator as an
ultimately self-supporting project. The BETRC could be viewed as a Demonstration Project;
due to the type of services proposed, it would likely be more difficult to structure it in a self-
supporting manner. However, it is possible that following a proven track record, additional
Federal funds could be pursued from EDA or other public or private sources.
Finally, it should be reiterated that the final formal application with related budgets and City
contributions will be brought back to Council for approval.

The Dislocation
During the last two years, the hugest San Diego region defense industIy employers (General Dynamics
and Rohr Industries) have reduced their -combined local employment by 10,000, from 25,000 to less
than 15,000. In Sari Diego South County, Chula Vista's Rohr Industries accounts for over 2,500 of
these losses. Total San Diego area aerospace defense manufàcturing employment dropped by 7,500
during 1993.
Martin Marietta recently purchased General Dynamics Space Division, will result in the San Diego
region losing another 1,800 direct jobs and additional subcontractor jobs. General Dynamics is
attempting to sell their aircraft component manufàcturing business, a sale which would likely reduce
local employment by more than 2,200 jobs.
The combination of actua1 and anticipated job losses will exceed 15,000 for these two major employers
and will approximate an additional 10,000 for smaller aerospace defense businesses. This loss is
anticipated to approach an overall 50% reduction in the aerospace defense industry locally.
Rohr Industries is the largest employer in San Diego South County. Like many San Diego companies,
Rohr has developed new operations in other states and is likely to consider further expansion outside
the state. They have publicly stated in recent months that they plan to keep corporate, research and
various other staffs in Chula Vista, but that they will continue to evaluate locating their manufacturing
operations in lower cost, less restrictive states. Rohr recently sold corporate debt and is in a good cash
position. This can solidify their ability to ride out the downward aerospace cycle. However, this
favorable cash position also makes them an attractive acqnisition target.

Economic Back\!round
The Southern California economy has been hit hard by the extended recession, by the end of the Cold
War, by resulting downturns in the defense industry and by the collapse of the real estate industry. San
Diego South County shares the regional San Diego problem of being heavily dependent upon the
defense industry, with little diversification of established manufacturing in other industries.
The level of defense industry wolker dislocations has saturated the ability of regional technology
manufucturing companies to employee the numbers of technical, managerial and specialized craft
wolkers now available. Training programs have been strengthened to help adjust for preparing people
for re-employment, but it will take time for existing companies to recover, for start-up companies to
expand to absorb the talent, and for new and emerging technologies being developed by new '
entrepreneurs to be successful. San Diego South County needs additional capacity to develop more
support for companies and displaced defense wolkers to start and expand private companies that will
create jobs.
,
Relevant Economic DeveloDment Plans and CaDacitv:
Funded by the Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment, the San Diego Economic
Adjustment Program (EAP) surveyed local aerospace~efense industry executives whose companies
represented two-thirds of San Diego County's aerospace~efense manufacturing employment. The
resulting San Diego EAP report provided a thorough analysis of economic impacts to the region as well
as solutions to mitigate these impacts. The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development
Administration accepted the EAP Report as an Overall Economic Development Plan (OEDP) to support
funding for the San Diego Technology Council (SDTC). (See San Diego Economic Adjustment
Report, Attachment A) .
San Diego's SDTC is, developing capacity to provide technology oriented assistance, business
development clearinghouse infonnatiOD, export infonnation and assistance, and general cootrlinmng
functions for economic adjustment activity in the region.
The San Diego region's economic conversion strategy includes attracting high-value industries, retaining
existing businesses, helping defense dependent businesses to transition to commercial markets, and
developing support structure to encourage and assist technology company start-ups and expansions. It
also provides training for displaced aerospace/defense wolkers.
The local resource partners including educational institutions, federal labs, city agencies, service-based
non-profits, and community-based non-profits are positioned to support expanded efforts, including the
proposed satellite technology resource center and incubator described below. Partners' capacities and
missions are well documented in the San Diego EDA application and in the OEDP referenced above.
Activities described in this proposal increase local economic adjustment capacity (1) by
geographically extending the influence of current SDTC partners, (2) by adding a specialized
environmental industry infrastructure component, and (3) by introducing new USIMe:rlco bDrder
related economic incentives to the overall regional economic develDpment effort. Proximity to a
new, rapid! y expanding Mexican market and access to internarional environmental technology markets
makes this proposal very important and timely. (See Border Environmental Morket, Attachment B)

Adiustment Activities
The EDA-funded San Diego Technology Council will act as the focal group to facilitate regional
technology transfer, dual technologies, technology commercialization, competitiveness training, high
technology business incubation and an infrastructure for international trade. The major existing
components of the Technology Council are: High Technology Resource Center, Technology Incubator
at the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies, Regional Technology Alliance, World Trade
Center and Seed Capital Fund. These components are described in detail in Attachment C.
The Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) is currently funding a follow-up
program to (1) publicize existing SDTC services, (2) survey 200 smaller defense dependent
subcontractors throughout the County, and (3) conduct focused technology business "cluster" analyses.
The San Diego Economic Conversion Council is conducting the public meetings to educate the
community about available, local defense conversion/economic adjustment programs. They will
continue this information series through the second phase OEA planning project. Their outreach
resources are incorporated in the proposed environmental technology programs.
San Diego's East County Economic Development Corporation is teaming with San Diego State
University and an experienced defense industry market researcher to undertake survey defense
subcontractors. The planned 200 surveys include 50 in East County, 50 in South County, 50 in North
County and 50 in Central County. The results will be used to evaluate and refine all pertinent economic
adjustment program elements, including the proposed environmental technology-related activities.
The San Diego Technology Council will oversee technology industry cluster analyses. Environmental,
multimedia, and transportation are among target industries which will be analyzed. The results will
help to further refine approaches to implementing the environmental business cluster program proposed
herein. (See Environmental Industry Cluster Analysis, Attachment D.)
The San Diego Consortium & Private Industry Council (PIC) supports the SDTC as the focal point for
employment oriented training. A1; the regional administrator for U.S. Department of Labor ITP A
funding, the PIC provides a full range of training, support and community assistance services. The PIC
recently established a satellite Career Center in San Diego South County (Chula Vista) to provide
training and re-employment assistance to workers effected by defense industIy reductions.
Local academic institutions have taken a lead role in the SDTC: the University Df California (UCSD)
administers the Regional Technology Alliance (RTA) technology transfer structure; the San Diego City
College's Center for Applied Competitive Technology (CAC1) is establishing the Technology Incubator.
UCSD, San Diego State University and Southwestern College have instituted specific programs focused
on training displaced workers to assume new roles in emerging technologies, including manufacturing
engineering, environmental engineering, and technical/commercial entrepreneurship programs.
In partnership with the California Environmental Technology Partnership (CalETP) [a marriage of
CalEPA and the Califomia Trade and Commerce Agency] and the SDTC, the State of California has
recently established the California Institute of Environmental Technologies (CIET) at UCSD. CIET will
facilitate transfer of environmental research from its own Scripps Institution of Oceanography to
entrepreneurs. CIET will also coordinate activities among all University of California campuses, three
National Laboratories, industry partners, and business development programs including the proposed
grant activities.

Pro Dosed Grant Activities
The Border Environmental Commerce Alliance (BECA) is a regional coalition of U.S./Mexico border
oriented jurisdictions as well as private and non-profit groups that are allying to encourage the
establisIunent and growth of environmental technologies and related businesses within San Diego
County. BECA includes the following local governments: County of San Diego, City of San Diego,
City of Chula Vista, City of National City, and City of hnperial Beach. BECA is also supported by
CalIEPA and the California Trade and Commerce Agency and numerous other public and private
organizations. The full listing of jurisdictional, economic development and community-based groups
supporting BECA is contained in the Border Environmental Commerce Alliance Proiect Plan Overview.
a comprehensive white paper that summarizes the program. (See Attachment E)
The pwpose of the Border Environmental Commerce Alliance is to coordinate regional resources that
will integrate with and extend the economic development strategies being implemented by the San
Diego Technology Council, as well as the State of California, to provide specialized assistance to the
targeted, high growth environmental business cluster and to support environmental business assistance
efforts, including proposed grant activities. These efforts will support displaced technology workers,
assists emerging environmental technology companies, and encourage the development of a sustainable
business environment. In addition to directly benefiting displaced workers, the BECA will focus
technology development and assistance on environmental problems and opportunities at the U.S.-Mexico
border.
For pwposes of this proposal, Chula Vista is the lead agency for the San Diego Border Environmental
Commerce Alliance.
BECA prDposes establishing three major program elements:
(I) the Border Environmental Technology Resource Center (BETRC)
(2) the Border Environmental Business Cluster (BEBC), an environmental technology business incubator
(3) the Border Environmental Demonstration Area
This proposal seeks funding for items one and two only. Both programs are directly linked to the San
Diego Technology Council program, which is largely funded by EDA.
As a Satellite Center for the EDA-funded SDTC High Technology Resource Center, the Border
Environmental Technology Resource Center (BETRC) will be physically located in San Diego South
County, only seven miles from the Mexico bDrder. BETRC will link South County businesses to all
of the San Diego Technology Council resources via electronic databases and systematic coordination
among the two Centers' staffs and existing SDTC partners.
The satellite location will extend the services of the High Technology Resource Center, Regional
Technology Alliance and World Trade Center into the U.S.-Mexico border-<>riented communities. It
will also emphasize cross-border partnerships in conjunction with the co-located Southwestern College
International Trade Center. Using its environmental technology expertise, BElRC will assist the San
Diego Technology Council to identify and fonn environmental business consortia and to seek related
State and Federal technology trnnsfer funding.

In its role as a specialized Technology Center serving the environmental industry cluster throughout the
entire San Diego region, BETRC will coordinate specialized environmental industry resources both
regionally and in partnership with the Ca1ÆP A and the California Trade and Commerce Agency.
BETRC will offer the following services, with an emphasis on international, and particularly U.S.-
Mexico, linkages and cooperation:
Environmental Technology Infonnation Clearinghouse
Environmental Technology Technical Assistance
Environmental Products and Services Export Assistance
Training in Environmental Industrial Management (cost-effective pollution prevention and waste
minimization)
Environmental Compliance Assistance
Environmental Industry Business Development Assistance
This targeted economic development assistance will help to address the following key State, local and
national objectives:
. To support environmental technology transfer and commercialization/defense conversion
strategies, providing job opportunities for displaced worlœrs.
· To encourage the eXport of environmental technology/products/services.
· To encourage cross-border industries to utilize state-of-the-art environmental management
practices
· TD promote the remediation of cross border environmental problems.
The second program element, the Border Environmental Business Ouster (BEBC), is a technology
business incubator that will serve as a launching pad for new environmental technology related
businesses. The California Environmental Technology Partnership (CalETP) has designated the BEBC
as one of three State-sponsored environmental business incubators in California.
Representing BECA, the City of Chula Vista is working with the California Business Incubation
NetwOlK and the Business Cluster Development Company to establish BEBC as a non-profit operntion.
The Business Cluster Development Company has successfully established similar incubators in Silicon
Valley and Los Angeles and will be responsible for policy and facility development, staffing, program
mSIketing, and ultimately screening, selecting and assisting incubator candidates and participants. (See
Attachment G.)
The BEBC will be located in a donated facility. The projected budget includes land acquisition costs,
personnel and major support costs. The incubator will provide inexpensive space for twenty or more
start-up businesses. The goal over the initial three year period is to graduate a minimum of ten
businesses after each has operated eighteen months to two years at the center. These ten companies
should provide from 100 to 200 new jobs related to environmental products and services (based upon
a goal of 80% survival rate three years after graduation.)
BEBC start-up businesses will receive business and technical support from the Incubator Manager as
well as from experts at BETRC the San Diego Technology Council and CAL EPA and the Trade &
Commerce Agency. Businesses will have access to regulatoxy and clearinghouse infonnation, including
technology transfer, government technology programs, World Trade Center export databases and other
infonnation netwoIks.

A Border Environmental Technology Demonstration Area, is being considered for South San Diego
County to promote the U.S.-Mexico border area as a "testing ground" for new financial incentive
programs which encourage development of environmentally-friendly technologies and businesses and
integration of state-of-the-art, sustainable technologies into business operations. This Demonstration
Area is not part of this application for EDA fundin!!.
The proposed demonstrarion area encompasses the San Ysidro/Otay Mesa Enterprise Zone (San Diego),
the San Diego Foreign Trade Zone and the San Diego Recycling Matket Development Zone, and it will
utilize capabilities of the San Diego Technology Council and the BElRC to offer environmental
business consulting and training.
Proposed Fundin!!:
We propose a total program budget approximating $5.2 million over three years. We are seeking about
$2.9 million in EDA funding to support this program.
We propose obtaining $100,000 State ofCalifomia Trade and Commerce Defense Adjustment Matching
Funds for the BElRC, a donated facility from Rohr, Inc., and $100,000 in San Diego Unified Port
District funds, as well as substantial in-kind services from our public and private partners. Projected
local matching funds exceed $1 match for each $3 sought.

BECA - Plan Overview
July 8, 1994
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Purpose of this Plan Overview
This Project Plan Overview is designed to assist in the development and communication of a Border
EnvironmeDta! Commerce Alliance (BECA) initiative. It is a working paper, and as such, will be updated
as Dew findings, agreements and funding necessitates. Since it is a work-in-progress. it is important that
the reader have the most recent update in their possession for their timely consideration.
This BECA Plan Overview states the mission, goals and objectives for this program. 10 addition, it
provides a program overview that discusses the need for BECA, its essential program elements and
important linkages with other local, state and federal programs.
Note that background infonnation refers to a Border Environmental Commerce "Zone"; the program is now
designed as a regional" Alliance", i.e. Border Environmental Commerce Alliance (BECA).
1.2. Background
The economy of the United States has been hard hit by the effects of the recession, the end of the cold war
and its downturn effects on the defense industry, and the collapse of the real estate markets. Southern
California has been dramatically affected by all of these changes. As a result, the need for aggressive
economic development and defense conversion strategies has never been stronger. At the same time,
concern for the protection and improvement of the environment continues to be high on the state and
federal agenda. California citizens, in general, and San Diego County residents, in particular, are coming
to understand, along with the current White House and Federal and State administrations that Americans
can have both a healthy, growing economy and a clean environment. Making a commitment to support
businesses that contribute to a clean and sustaining economy, the City of Chula Vista formed a "blue
ribbon" task force of local professionals to address these complex economic and environmental challenges
and opportunities.
THE CHULA VISTA TASK FORCE
On January 12, 1993, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, California created a 14-member Task
Force to identify ways of attracting and supporting businesses in the high growth environmental product
and service sector, and encouraging environmentally sound business development. On February 9, fourteen

individuals were ratified as Task Force members. Members were selected to represent the business
community, environment organizations, non~profit community groups, educational institutions, and
governmental entities. Councilman Bob Fox was selected as Task Force chairman. The first meeting of
the Task Force was held on February 26, 1993. The Task Force brought in additional regional resource
people representing such groups as the San Diego Bankers' CDC, the Small Business Financial Corporation
CDC, the City of San Diego Economic Development DepartmentlEnterprise Zone/Recycling Zone, and
the California Trade & Commerce Agency.
FIRST APPROVED CONCEPT PAPER AND INITIAL PROGRAM FUNDING
On April 30, 1993, the Task Force adopted a concept paper outlining a proposal to create a re~ionallv·
based "Border Environmental Commerce Zone" designed to encourage and support:
1) environmental business and job creation;
2) defense conversion efforts;
3) border-oriented environmental clean-up;
4) research, development and commercialization of innovative environmental
technology;
5) start-up of environmentally sound businesses;
6) export of U.S. based environmental technologies, goods and services;
7) attraction and expansion of environmentally sound business having a positive economic
impact.
This "white paper", which provided the initial definition and scope of the program, was approved by the
Chula Vista City Council on May 11, 1993.
To show its commitment to this regional initiative, the Chula Vista City Council approved $100,000 of
funding for the BECZ - now Border Environmental Commerce Alliance (BECA). Fifty thousand dollars
($50,000) is being used to hire consultants to coordinate the initial implementation of the BECA. The other
$50,000 will be released upon the BECA attracting an additional $150,000 in outside funding.
RETENTION OF AN INTERIM DIRECTOR/CONSULTANT TEAM
On September 7, 1993, the City Council of Chula Vista approved the retention of an "Interim Director"
to begin implementation of the program. The "Interim Director" is the firm Environmental Business
Partners, Inc., the strategic and financial advisory affiliate of Environmental Business International, Inc.

(EBI). EBI provides research and consulting exclusively to the national and international environmental
industry, and is publisher of the Environmental Business Journal, the leading national publication for
environmental business owners and managers. Additionally, the City Council approved the retention of
KSK & Associates to pursue state and federal government support for the BECA.

environmental product and service businesses, to support the development and commercialization of
environmentally sustainable technologies, and to attract and incentivize companies utilizing environmentally
friendly processes (including pollution prevention technologies) through successful public/private regionally-
based partnerships. The BECA will advance US/Mexico border area economic development and
environmental protection through these cutting-edge business assistance initiatives.
2.1.3. Goals
In order to fulfill the above mission statement the BECA will pursue the following goals:
1.
2.
Support environmental business and job creation through targeted business assistance
Encourage the attraction, retention, and expansion of environmentally friendly industry
to the border area

4. Support the State, Federal, and San Diego region economic conversion efforts
5. Encourage the development, commercialization, and export of u.s. environmental
technology/ products/services
6. Implement a successful Demonstration Program as a model for future
regional/state/national environmental business partnerships
2.1.4. BECA Alliance
The BECA will be the umbrella coalition which insures optimal coordination among participating
jurisdictions, as well as other public, private and academic entities of numerous existing economic
development programs which can contribute to the overall mission. Examples of such programs include
the San Diego Technology Council and Regional Trade Alliance (RT A), the California Environmental
Technology Partnership (CAL ETP), the Southwestern College Small Business Development/International
Trade Center, the California Institute of Environmental Technologies (CIET), UCSD Connect, Scripps
Institution of Oceanography, the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies (CACT), the Supercomputer
Center, San Diego Recycling and Enterprize Zones, National Labs and federal initiatives such as NIST,
ARPA, and TRP, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs. Additionally, BECA will
create the framework for the creation of additional regionally-based, environmentally-related business
development initiatives. Among these are a Border Environmental Technology Resource Center, a Border
Environmental Business Cluster (Incubator) Program, and a BECA Demonstration Area.
2.1.5. Proposed New BECA Initiatives
The City of Chula Vista has acted as a catalyst to bring the proposed regional alliance into being and is
proposing three specific initiatives which will benefit all BECA partners as well as provide for specific
business outreach in the South San Diego Bay area. The proposed initiatives compliment the San Diego
region's Economic Adjustment program as well as the State's Regional Technology Alliance (RTA) and
California Environmental Technology Partnership programs. The three initiatives are outlined below:
1. Border Environmental Technolo.v Resource Center IBETRC)
The BETRC will be located at the Southwestern College Small Business Development/International
Trade Center (SBD/IT). The BETRC will act as a "satellite" to the City of San Diego's High
Tech Resource Center, providing technical assistance services from a location convenient to South
San Diego Bay industry, and at the same time offering a specialized regional service in terms of
environmental technology-related expertise. The BETRC will be the San Diego region technology
~ / <j{ <.73>--

center specializing in the environmental field. City of Chula Vista staff are working with City of
San Diego staff to seek federal EDA funding to augment San Diego's existing EDA funded
regional economic conversion program. The BETRC is described in detail in Section 4, on pages
18 through 24.
2. Border Environmental Business Cluster IBEBC) Incubator Program
CalEPA has initiated the development of the California Environmental Business incubators Project
(CEBIP) as an element of its Statewide California Environmental Technology Partnership
(CaIETP) Strategic Plan and has recently announced that the three environmental incubator
facilities will be located in the Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, and in the San Diego region in the
City of Chula Vista. Chula Vista is currently working with the California Business Incubator
Network and Business Cluster Development to implement the San Diego area program. BEBC
will encourage environmental business start-ups by providing a common site where these small
businesses can co-locate in order to benefit from the resulting synergies and tap into BECA related
resources. The State-sponsored CEBIP incubator program will act as a catalyst to encourage
environmental incubator programs which promote the environmental industry and technologies,
support defense conversion and job creating efforts, and demonstrate how small and start-up
businesses can operate in an environmentally responsible manner, utilizing sustainable technology
practices within their companies.
3. BECA Demonstration Area
in keeping with the border orientation, a BECA Demonstration Area is proposed for South San
Diego County, to encompass portions of the County of San Diego, portions of the City of San
Diego, and the Cities of Chula Vista, National City, and Imperial Beach. The Demonstration Area
would be developed as a pilot program to develop and demonstrate targeted financial incentive
programs to businesses achieving established objectives pertaining to the development and
utilization of environmentally friendly technologies. Financial incentives would be designed to
support business start-up and expansion, technology commercialization, and cost-effective
integration of state-of-the-art pollution prevention, waste llÙnimization, and sustainable
technologies.
These three initiatives are discussed in detail in Section 4.

PAÕÒ 6
BECA - Plan Overview
July 8, 1994
In addition to the above referenced three new initiatives, the BECA Alliance will provide a regionally-based
vehicle to collaboratively pursue other public/private partnerships and related funding opportunities in such
areas as international trade (technology export), border-related clean-up and infrastructure, defense
conversion, and general economic development activities promoting the environmental industry.
2.1.6. BECA Funding
The three proposed new initiatives presented in section 2.1.6 above, will require new commitments of
resources. Because these initiatives are designed to further both economic development and environmental
objectives, it is envisioned that federal agencies such as the Department of Commerce (DOC),
Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) and Department of Energy (DOE) may be appropriate
contributors. Currently the City of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista are working with the Economic
Development Administration (EDA) to develop a co-application to DOC - for Economic Development
Administration SSED funds to implement the proposed Border Environmental Technology Resource Center,
and Border Environmental Business Cluster programs. Preliminary discussions are on-going with EP A and
DOE regarding additional assistance. As previously noted, the City of Chula Vista has authorized
$100,000 for development of the BECA Program.
The City of Chula Vista is also providing additional seed money and administrative oversight to begin
implementation of the Border Environmental Business Cluster program, using a non-profit sponsor and the
services of Business Cluster Development- the developer of all three state- sponsored environmental
incubators in California.
2.2. Goals
BECA goals, as delineated in section 2.1.3 above, are briefly explained below:
2.2.1. Support Environmental Business and Job Creation
The proposed BETRC and BEBC are designed to assist environmental technologies/products/services and
thus to strengthen an emerging, high-growth-potential economic base. See Section 3.2 for an overview of
the environmental industry's growth potential.
~/F'/3?
Page 7
BECA - Plan Overview
July 8, 1994
2.2.2. Encourage Cross-Border Environmental Commerce and Clean-up and the
Attraction of "Clean" Industry to the Border Area
The BECA will specifically address the need to attract 'clean-up' technologies to the U.S.lMexico border
area to meet the growing demand for these technologies and services on both sides of the border where
there are some of the most severe environmental problems in the world, including acute air, water quality
and hazardous waste problems. The intent to address cross-border clean-up has been identified in several
U.S./Mexico agreements; the recent signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement has focused the
spotlight on this challenge in a way that has captured the attention of not only the United States
constituency but that of the international community. The BECA will strengthen Southern California's
hand in dealing with these issues and will support federally sponsored border-oriented facilities which are
integral to the N AFT A agenda.
By attracting pollution prevention and clean-up technologies to the U.S.lMexico Border, the BECA will
be able to concurrently promote the export of these U.S.-based technologies, particularly to our Mexican
neighbors. Export promotion efforts are discussed below.
2.2.3. Support Defense Conversion Efforts
As discussed previously, the EDA-funded San Diego Regional Economic Adjustment Program has
identified the environmental industry as one of the eight trbest bets" in terms of potential business growth
and employment to facilitate defense/economic conversion in the San Diego area. Pollution Control
Equipment, for example, led the industries surveyed in terms of projected growth at 20 % (1990-1993), and
in U.S. exports to Mexico with NAFTA (at 17%), followed by Chemical Production, and
Machinery/petroleum environmental control equipment, at 15% and 12% respectively.
The BECA initiatives directly complement national, state and local efforts to mitigate the impacts of
reduced defense spending upon the San Diego region and have been endorsed by the San Diego Economic
Development Services, and the California Environmental Protection Agency and Trade and Commerce
Agency. The proposed BETRC and BEBC will assist small and start-up businesses who are able to apply
military based technology to commercial environmental applications, and will promote regional business
diversification and job growth efforts through environmental business development services and export
assistance.

BECA - Plan Overview
2.2.4. Encourage the Development, Commercialization, and Export of U.S.
Environmental Technology/Products/Services
The BECA will coordinate available resources to promote research, development, and commercialization
of environmental technologies. BECA programs will encourage the transfer of information and technology
among and between Alliance partners. For example, the Border Environmental Technology Resource
Center (BETRC) intends to act as a business development arm of research and development efforts at
regional academic institutions, including University of California at San Diego and the Scripps Institute,
and those being proposed at local military bases. The BETRC will also provide a satellite arm of the San
Diego Technology Council and the State's Regional Technology Alliance (RT A) to assist emerging and
start-up environmental companies to seek federal funding for innovative environmental business consortiums
and technology transfer. Additionally, the BETRC, which will be co-located with the existing Small
Business Development/International Trade Center, will assist small environmental businesses to identify
and access national and international marketing and distribution channels. particularly as relates to Mexico -
only seven miles to the south. Finally, another example of how the BECA will achieve this goal is the
creation of a State-sponsored Border Environmental Business Cluster, or incubator, program. This project
will target start-up businesses which are in the prototype to commercialization phase as well as those
involved in international trade, particularly the Mexico market.
2.2.6. Implement an Environmental Technology Demonstration Program
The BECA is envisioned to provide the framework for a partnership of local, state and federal agencies
in an Environmental Technology Demonstration Program offering new, unique financial assistance and
pollution prevention training programs for targeted environmental businesses within a Demonstration Area.
Based upon this Pilot Program's experience, the program can be modified and replicated throughout the
country. The Demonstration Area would include the Cities of San Diego, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach,
National City, portions of the County of San Diego, and would encompass Otay Mesa/San Ysidro
Enterprise Zone and the San Diego Recycling Zone. The Demonstration Program would offer a bold and
innovative local/state/federal partnership to encourage business to incorporate cutting edge sustainable
technologies into their daily business practices.
3. NEED AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR BECA
The Border Environmental Commerce Alliance (BECA) is a unique alliance designed to offer a variety of
assistance programs to achieve its goals. By introducing three specific new initiatives - the Border

· economic challenlles. such as: recession, military base closures and defense
conversion dislocations;
· evolving environmental regulations which are creating new opportunities for the
maturing environmental product and service industry;
· industrial evolution from environmentally damaging technologies to sustainable
technologies; and,
· geographic proximity to the Mexican-American border and Maquiladora
businesses, providing new opportunities for businesses and communities on both
sides of the border that are environmentally related.
The BECA offers a great opportunity for public and private agencies, businesses, community groups and
citizens to support the development of a new economic base in this region; a foundation that will serve the
San Diego region, the State of California, and the Country well into the 21st century. These unique and
timely needs and opportunities are discussed in greater detail below.
3.1. Economic Challenges
The u.s. economy and, more specifically, the California economy have suffered the impact ofrecession
and the loss of substantial economic base due to defense related cutbacks. During the last two years, the
largest San Diego region defense industry employers (General Dynamics and Rohr Industries) have reduced
their combined local employment by 10,000 from 25,000 to less than 15,000. In San Diego South County,
Chula Vista's Rohr Industries accounts for over 2,500 of these losses. Total San Diego area aerospace
defense manufacturing employment dropped by 7,500 during 1993. Future anticipated job losses will
exceed 15,000 for these major employers and will approximate an additional 10,000 for smaller aerospace
defense businesses. This loss is anticipated to approach an overall 50 % reduction in the aerospace defense
industry in the San Diego region.
Innovative economic defense conversion efforts are needed to provide an expanded, more diverse and
sustainable industrial base. The environmental industry, a major California industry already, is expected
ß·e-!JJþ /? / if t)
..pag' 19 ~
BECA - Plan Overview

to grow rapidly well into the 21st century, providing the base for new high quality jobs for displaced
workers.
3.2. Environmental Industry Growth Potential
According to the Environmental Business Journal, 1992 revenues generated by the environmental industry
in the United States exceeded $134 billion and $300 billion worldwide. The environmental technology field
is predicted to grow by as much as 25 to 50% over the next 10 years. According to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), roughly 2% of our Gross National Product (GNP) is currently
being spent on protecting and restoring our nation's air, water and land. The EPA predicts that these
environmental expenditures will increase to 3 % of GNP by the year 2000.
Pollution control investment over the next decade will be driven by major land, air and water pollution
regnlations passed by Congress in the mid 1970's and greatly expanding over the past 10 years. In
addition, the non-EP A regulated share of annualized pollution control costs are projected to increase by
140% as a result of military and nuclear waste clean-up.
The State of California has clearly recognized that California's high environmental standards present
unparalleled opportunities for economic growth and job creation. As environmental awareness and
standards are raised throughout the world, California has tremendous economic advantages to capture these
lucrative markets. California's environmental industry currently generates approximately 17 % of total U.S.
revenues, or some $22.8 billion, and approximately 10 % or $30 billion, of worldwide revenues. California
currently boasts an environmental industry with over 180,000 jobs; it is estimated that over 50.000 new
iobs will be created bv 1996 for Californians in the environmental technology arena.
However, California and the U.S., are in danger of losing this significant competitive edge unless the
govemmeDt and private sector together nurture this industry. Japan, for example, has targeted the
environmental industry for the 1990's and has developed a l00-year plan to promote it. Other European
countries are undertaking similar efforts.
The California Environmental Technology Partnership (CAL ETP) was charged by Governor Wilson in
1992 to "recognize, assist and promote California-based companies that research, develop and export
environmental technologies, goods and services." CAL ETP is a partnership of CAL EP A and the
California Trade and Conunerce Agency as well as industry, academia, financial institutions, public interest
groups, and federal and local governments. The BECA is one of the CAL ETP partners. The initiatives
discussed in this paper link directly to the CAL ETP program, as well as the related California Trade and

Commerce Agency's Regional Technology Alliance, the State's program to encourage and support
technology transfer and commercialization.
The San Diego Regional Economic Adjustment Program, funded by the federal Economic Development
Administration (EP A) and the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA), undertook a comprehensive study
in 1992 to develop strategies and programs to mitigate the impacts of the reduction in defense spending on
San Diego's economy. (San Diego area workers displaced from 1991 through 1993 exceeded 28,000 with
cuts continuing through 1995, with a yearly payroll reduction exceeding $300 million.) This study, which
included a regional market assessment, concluded that the area's future relies on the "development of new
markets, accelerated product development, and improved quality.· The results identified ei2ht industry
clusters that should be tar2eted and nurtured; amon2 these is the environmental technolo2v industry.
The San Diego/Chula Vista region is extremely well suited to benefit from aggressive international trade
of such technologies, ie. cross-border with Mexico (seven miles to the south) and across the ocean to the
Pacific Rim countries. The recent adoption of NAPT A adds to our locational advantage for environmental
companies.
The three proposed BECA initiatives will encourage and promote the environmental business cluster in the
San DiegolTijuana region by providing targeted assistance to environmental companies via the Border
Environmental Technology Research Center (BETRC); the Border Environmental Business Cluster (BEBC)
incubator; and the BECA Demonstration Program. These are discussed in later sections.
3.3. Industry EvolutionlEnvironmental Management
After almost twenty-five years of federal environmental legislation, and exacting environmental standards
set to protect the California environment, industry is starting to answer the call to develop a sustainable
economy worldwide. Spurred on by proactive pollution prevention and waste minimization programs,
many companies, as well as entire industry groups, are incorporating strategic environmental management
practices into their long term planning and ptactice. This evolution in thinking is spawning an emerging
industry of environmentally sustainable technologies. These energy and resource efficient practices are not
only cost effective for companies immediately, they save companies and consumers money in terms of
lower environmental degradation, hence less environmental liability and a higher quality environment. But
like any change, these new technologies and practices need to be supported and marketed in order to
develop into a significant economic force. BECA is established to address this need, and capitalize on the
opportunity of supporting industry to develop and export these new, sustainable technologies.

The concept of promoting environmentally favorable processes and products are receiving increasing
attention from the business and manufacturing sector for two primary reasons: escalating costs, and
environmental and health protection. Businesses nrovidimz new low cost aooroaches to standard industrial.
manufacturin2 and a2ricultural methods which reduce impacts on the environment and thus related costs
of doin2 business are ur2entlv needed to fill the needs of the 2eneral market. The BECA will promote
technologies that will help business reduce costs in the following areas:
· Disposal costs: Costs for disposal of hazardous wastes generated by the
manufacturing process continue to rise.
· Pollution control equipment: This equipment is generally a major capital
investment, particularly for small companies. Maintenance and operation of the
equipment requires trained personnel which represents ongoing costs, and the
cost of treatment and disposal contribute to significant costs that can be
significantly reduced through the utilization of environmentally friendly
processes and products.
· Regulatory compliance: Compliance efforts can demand significant dedication
of resources, resulting in both personnel and capital costs.
· Liahility costs: Liability costs associated with improper disposal of wastes,
worker injury, accidental release of toxins, product liability and community
exposure are escalating and in some cases, insurance coverage is not available.
3.4. U.S.lMexico Border Opportunities
The growing trade development efforts between Mexico and the u.s., most notably seen through the recent
passage of NAFTA, represent a potential wealth of new business opportunities for regional and national
companies seeking to do business in and with Mexico. The San Diego and South Bay, due to their
proximity to the U .S./MexÌco border have unique advantages in promoting regional trade efforts with
Mexico. The environmental component of the economy of Mexico is expected to grow at a rapid rate.
This is due both to the need to remediate contaminated sites from years of unhindered industrial growth,
and also due to the expected "globalization" of Mexico's environmental regulations and enforcement
policies which will require investment in modernization and environmental infrastructure development over
the coming decades. The San Diego region, by promoting its environmental industry, has the unique
ability to leverage this growth to the benefit of its local economy.

BECA - Plan Overview

3.4.1. V.S./Mexico Border Environmental Background
Rapid population and industrial growth along the U.S./Mexico border has crated what can only be called
an environmental disaster area. According to the Southwest Center for Environmental Research and Policy
(funded by Congress to initiate a comprehensive analysis of possible solutions to the acute air. water quality
and hazardous waste problems that plague the U.S.lMexico border region), 'for many of the millions of
Americans and Mexicans who live in the border region, environmental clean-up is a matter of life and
death."
The border area of the United States and Mexico stretches nearly 2,000 miles from the Pacific Ocean to
the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the border countryside is arid desert land, with limited ground water and
relatively few rivers. The band of border land extending 60 miles (100 kilometers) into each country
(defined in jOiDt agreements as the area where efforts to clean up the environment will be concentrated)
experienced rapid economic growth in the 1980's, with an increase in population of more than 50%.
Population on the U.S. side rose from 3.094 million in 1980 to 5.723 million in 1990, and on the Mexican
side from 2.842 million to 3.812 million.
Three quarters of these 9.6 million people live in 14 sets of "twin cities" which adjoin each other at the
border. The San Diego/Tijuana area includes approximately 4.5 million people, or 1/2 of the total
U.S.lMexico border population.
The border twin cities have attracted the maquiladora industry -- factories located on the Mexican side that
are mainly American-owned. that obtain their raw materials or components from the U.S., process or
assemble these items in Mexico, and then market the products in the U.S. Under special agreements, the
two-way trade is largely exempt from customs duties. Of the total 2,000 maquiladoras, approximately 733
are located in San DiegolTijuana.
The Maquiladora industry represents the second largest source of foreign exchange for Mexico, generating
the U.S. $1.6 billion. It is also a valuable source of employment (a half-million jobs) and regional
development. Development of the international maquiladora industry has been accompanied by concurrent
development of Mexican national industry in the northern border region.
According to the Southwest Center for Environmental Research and Policy, the surge of population and
the sudden increase in industrialization along the border have been accompanied by some of the most severe
environmental problems seen anywhere in the world. The Center reports that the border cities lack the
infrastructure needed to keep communities in health condition. Approximately one-quarter of Mexican
~ /2f--1/f
,...-PRo... 14
BECA - Plan Overview

homes have no running water. On the Mexico side, not one of the 14 twin cities has an adequate sewage
treatment system. In many locations, sewage is not treated at all but merely dumped, raw, into tbe nearest
waterway, creating immediate threats to public health.
Billions of gallons of untreated sewage are dumped each year in the rivers and streams of the border
region. At Tijuana, San Diego's "twin city", eight million gallons of raw sewage enter the Tijuana River
every day. The New River carries sewage 80 miles into theImperial Valley of California. Health officials
who studied the New River waters have found viruses and bacteria that cause typhoid, salmonella, polio
and 25 other deadly bacterial and viral diseases. Fecal coliform levels in the river have been measured
at 5,000 times the level considered safe. Cancer-inducing benzene and chloroform have also been found
in the river. Many of the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) found in the New River can be linked to
assembly processes in the maquiladora industry; the City of Mexicali has almost 100 maquiladora plants,
representing about 5 % of the total maquiladora industry in Mexico.
Air pollution is common to all of the border cities. There are few paved roads or streets in the Mexican
communities, creating particulate problems. Home-based kilns used for making bricks bum rubber tires
as fuel, creating masses of thick, acrid smoke. Some maquiladoras bum high-sulfur fuel oil, producing
emissions that would be illegal on the U.S. side.
The severity of the air and water problems is matched by the threats of hazardous materials in the border
regions. Regional EP A experts have attributed widespread environmental contamination along the
U.S./Mexico border region to a large extent to the recent growth and diversification of the Maquiladora
industry in Mexico. The Maquiladora industry has almost 2,000 plants and a half million workers; it
utilizes hundreds of hazardous substances. How the majority of the hazardous wastes generated by the
maquiladora industry in Mexico is disposed of is at present unknown. The Baja California maquiladora
industry alone, primarily in Tijuana, Tecate and Mexicali, is estimated to generate 100,000 tons per year
of hazardous wastes. However, only 15% of the maquiladoras legally recycle or send their residues back
to the United States. The number of recycling plants with controlled confinements and an incinerator are
very limited; SEDESOL (the Mexican agency for the protection of the environment) identified only three
plants operating legally in Mexico.
3.4.2. U.S'/Mexico Cooperation Regarding Border Environmental Problems
Mexico and the United States have been cooperating on joint environmental problems for over 100 years.
The bilateral International Boundary and Water Commission has addressed boundary and water problems
since 1889. However, the relatively recent population and industrial growth along the border have posed
~

BECA - Plan Overview
July 8, 1994
increased environmental, economic and infrastructure challenges to both countries. In response, the two
countries signed the 1983 La paz Border Environment Agreement, which established a program for
environmental coordination to address problems with air and water pollution, hazardous waste, and
environmental enforcement.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFT A) provides further protection to the environment. It
maintains U.s. environmental, safety and health standards, allows states and cities in NAFTA countries
to enact even tougher standards, encourages all parties to strengthen their standards, and permits parties
to restrict trade in endangered species and to take other steps pursuant to international environmental
accords.
NAFTA negotiations have resulted in increased cooperation between Mexico and the U.S. on common
environmental problems, independent of the actual signing of the agreement. In February 1992, Presidents
Bush and Salinas signed the "Integrated Environmental Plan for the Border." The goal of this plan,
developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Secretaria De Desarrollo Social
(SEDESOL), is to provide for the long-term protection of human health and natural ecosystems along the
border between Mexico and the United States. The major objectives of the Plan include:
I. Strengthen Enforcement of Existing Laws. The plan calls for an increase in the number of
Mexican border environmental inspectors; establishment of a new Cooperative Enforcement
Strategy Workgroup; building enforcement capacity through cooperative training visits and
bilateral workshops. seminars, field exercises and persOImel exchanges; exchanges of enforcement
information; and cooperation on enforcement actions in agreed-upon priority areas.
II. Reduce Pollution Through New Initiatives. Activities under this objective include: increasing
wastewater treatment; strengthening the industrial wastewater pretreatment program; protecting
drinking water supplies; initiating multi-media industrial source controls to reduce air, water, and
land pollution; improving disposal of solid and hazardous wastes; setting aside land in Mexico for
low-income housing; improving air quality; promoting pollution prevention borderwide; and
providing technical assistance for pollution prevention to include training programs for the private
sector, infonnation regarding clean production processes, university-based technical resource
centers, and demonstration projects.
III. Increase Cooperative Planning. Training and Education. Joint planning and training programs are
to be developed for emergency prepatedness and response personnel for hazardous waste spills;
for government officials who enforce environmental and hazardous material transportation
ß-0r/g>Lj¿,
PUo':" 16
BECA - Plan Overview

regulations; for private sector organizations that handle and dispose of commercial and industrial
sources of hazardous wastes; and for public information programs.
IV. Improve Understandin~ of the Border Environment. Activities under this objective include
development of an inventory of legal and illegal waste disposal sites, and projecting future capacity
needs for legal disposal; determining the number, locations, and types of new solid waste disposal
facilities needed in the border area; compiling an inventory of shared water resources, assessing
demand on those resources, and establishing area-wide monitoring programs to define ground
water and surface water quality; exchanging information on the analysis, proper use and control
of pesticides in the border area; preparing a comparative risk assessment that guides future
environmental protection efforts; and preparing periodic reports on environmental quality in the
border area.
The NAFT A has heightened national awareness of border environmental issues and has resulted in pledges
from the U.S. and Mexican governments for increased funding in this area. Mexico has pledged $460
million over three years to address border environmental problems. President Bush included $241 million
in the FY 1993 budget; Congress cut this request by almost $100 million.
There is, therefore, a $600 million market for environmental clean-up and protection products and services
in Mexico, as identified in the Integrated Environmental Plan for the Border's call for new initiatives to
reduce pollution. This market presents significant opportunities for American environmental clean-up and
management companies, to sell their products and services to Mexico. However, most U. S. companies will
need technical assistance to overcome regulatory, social and cultural barriers to trade with Mexico.
3.5. Environmental Clean-Up/Public Health
The existence of over 30,000 waste sites on the Federal Superfund list and 300,000 "Unofficial" waste sites
(that have not yet been ranked as to their severity) attests to the pressing need for environmental technology
solutions throughout the U.S. Clearly, this need will grow as clean up policies and regulations take hold
around the globe. Clean up costs for these U.S. sites alone are estimated at $750 billion.
In addition, it is becoming increasingly evident that alternative approaches and products are needed within
the marketplace as more evidence mounts regarding the public health and environmental hazards associated
with certain existing industrial practices. The BECA will be equipped to assist businesses to improve their
approacbes within a product's life cycle, including material extraction, materials processing, manufacturing,

use and waste management. Reducing this impact is the central concept behind the BECA's encouragement
of environmentally friendly processes.
4. BECA INITIATIVES
As discussed, the Border Environmental Commerce Alliance (BECA) addresses the needs and opportunities
outlined above through three key initiatives.
Each of these programs are outlined below.
4.1. Border
Environmental
Technologies
Resource
Center
(BETRC)
A cornerstone of the BECA program is the proposed Border Environmental Technology Resource Center
(BETRC). The BETRC will be located at the Southwestern College Small Business
Development/International Trade Center (SBDlTC). The BETRC will be a satellite of the San Diego High
Technology Resource Center serving the environmental industry cluster, as an integral part of the San
Diego Technology Council and Regional Technology Alliance (RT A) within the statewide, California Trade
and Commerce Agency-sponsored RT A network. As the resource center specializing in the environmental
field, the BETRC will become the source for state-of-the-art environmental technology education,
information, training, technical and financial assistance, environmental regulatory compliance assistance,
and procurement assistance for the Southern California business community. In summary, the BETRC will
provide a "one stop" access point for resources to enhance the development, commercialization, fmancing
and marketing of environmental goods, services, and technologies.
While the BETRC will serve all businesses within the San Diego region, it will also be closely linked with
the Border Environmental Business Cluster (Incubator) Program (described in the Section 4.3). BEBC
tenants will be connected with the BETRC via the BEBC Manager and will benefit directly from the
Center's resources and services.
4.1.1. Environmental Technology Infonnation Clearinghouse
The BETRC will serve as an environmental technology information clearinghouse. This specialized, "one-
stop" facility is a critical element of the BECA business development effort, due to the tremendous volume,
complexity and current decentralization of information related to entrepreneurial efforts to develop and
~~ /~/1/7
BECA - Plan Overview
July 8, 1994
maintain an environmentally friendly business. (For example, just understanding the labyrinth of laws and
regulations regarding environmental compliance can be a daunting task for the small businessperson).
Helping entrepreneurs to understand what information is available and how to access it will be one of the
more simple but critical services of the BETRC.
The BETRC will provide easy access to information regarding such clearly specialized items as pollution
prevention approaches, local, state and national environmental laws and regulations and waste management
techniques. In addition, the BETRC will provide technical assistance in more general business development
areas such as fmance and marketing, with the emphasis on the unique needs of the environmental business
entrepreneur. Examples include: export opportunities, potential joint venture partnerships, government
procurement policies and contacts, grant and contract opportunities, and defense related transfer
technologies.
A primary goal of the BETRC will be to centralize this enormous wealth of information while avoiding
duplication of effort. As previously indicated, the BETRC will compliment the San Diego metropolitan
area's Economic Adjustment Program (which is receiving funding from the U.S. Economic Development
Administration), through direct linkages with the San Diego High Technology Resource Center and the San
Diego Technology Incubator Program. As a South San Diego County satellite to these facilities, the
BETRC will serve a targeted economic base and further specialize in border-oriented opportunities.
The BETRC will offer centralized resources by utilizing other existing community-based, academic,
governmental and industrial resources as the foundation of its "library." The BETRC "library" will consist
of both on-site materials and a computerized inventory of off-site materials (and services) to which the
BETRC client will be referred. Examples of off-site materials might include books, periodicals, audio and
visual materials, and governmental documents. Examples of on-site materials include an on-line
computerized data base linking the BETRC to the newly established California Institute for Environmental
Technologies, UCSD, the Small Business Development/International Trade Center, federal laboratories and
defense resources, federal grant arulOuncements, potential joint venture partners, ED> Net Internet
Electronic bulletin boards, SBIR announcements, etc. Also available on-site will be a collection of
materials that would be anticipated to be most frequently needed by BETRC clients and those which may
be unavailable from any other source. A "no-paper" newsletter, accessible by computer, will be produced
by BETRC staff to advise businesses regarding new developments in the industry and timely business
opportunities.

July 8, 1994
4.1.2. Technical Assistance
The BETRC will provide technical assistance utilizing Center staff and crosslinking of for-profit and non-
profit environmental entities. As in the case of the information clearinghouse, this network of services will
include community-based groups such as environmental coalitions, educational institutions such as UCSD
CONNECT, economic development agencies such as the Small Business Development/International Trade
Center, and private business - potentially including recipients of direct BECA fmancial incentives.
Technical assistance will be provided in the areas of:
· Market research and analysis to help identify potential markets for current
products and new environmental products and services the business may offer
· Matching of environmental technology with manufacturing production capacity
to produce new environmental products and services
· Commercial business planning and management techniques to help transition to
commercial markets
· Analysis of current production activities/processes to determine commercial
viability and how to apply emerging environmental technology
· Analysis of existing manufacturing applications and assistance In applying
upgraded applications
· Research on specific source reduction, pollution prevention, waste management
technologies needed by a BECA client
· Environmental regulatory compliance assistance
· State or federal contract/procurement opportunities, including assistance in
seeking state matching funds for federal grants
· "Matchmaker" services to identify potential joint venture or investment
opportunities, including fostering of consortia-developed technologies
~ /<¡'/~(/

· Analysis of eligibility for specific BECA Demonstration Program fmancial
incentives, and assistance in meeting the eligibility criteria (see Section 4.3.3.
and 4.3.4.)
4.1.3. Export Assistance
The BETRC will provide specialized service related to expanding markets for U.S. based environmental
technologies/goods/services in foreign markets, with an emphasis on Mexico. The BETRC will build upon
local state and federal export assistance programs already in existence, including the International Trade
Center, with which the BETRC will be co-located. The BETRC will act as a 'matchmaker" in linking
environmental companies in the BECA with both public and private consumers on both sides of the border.
BECA will sponsor and cosponsor trade forums and trade missions with the San Diego World Trade
Center, the International Trade Center, CALEPA, CalTrade and Commerce Agency and the California
Energy Commission.
4.1.4. Training in Environmental Technologies/Products/Services
Section 3.3, "Industry evolution" discusses the rising costs to business of compliance with environmental
regulations and costs related to public health liabilities. These include:
· Hazardous waste disposal
· Pollution control equipment
· Regulatory compliance administration
· Liability related to improper disposal of wastes, worker injury, accidental
release of toxins, product liability, and community exposure
The BETRC will assist businesses to reduce their operational costs as well as pinpoint new opportunities
in all of these areas via training and information related to:
· low-cost pollution prevention methods to avoid the need to incur disposal costs
· utilization of environmentally friendly processes and products to avoid the need
to purchase and maintain costly pollution control equipment
· regulatory compliance the identification of long term waste reduction strategies
to reduce both operating costs and regulatory fees and fines
· matching business with environmentally friendly processes/products for prudent
avoidance of liability costs (in some cases insurance may not be available)

BECA - Plan Overview
July 8, 1994
4.1.5. Environmental Compliance Assistance
The BETRC proposes to provide a border-oriented satellite center to the existing Business Environmental
Assistance Center in Orange County at U.C. Fullerton. These one-stop services will be geographically
convenient to all businesses located within border oriented San Diego County, as well as Mexico companies
from across the border. The center will specialize in environmental regulation compliance, technical
assistance related to both the U.S. (and San Diego County) and Mexico, and can act as a matchmaker for
companies needing compliance consulting services or products and companies providing such services or
products.
4.1.6. Recruitment of Environmental Industries
Environmental industries are quickly emerging in the matketplace. Technologies are changing rapidly.
Tracking these technological changes is a formidable task and one that will require an astute understanding
of the production process and a strong connection to the academic and research and development centers
throughout the country where these technologies are being spawned. Understanding these technologies will
help the BETRC successfully develop and implement its financial and technical assistance program.
Understanding the ever-changing regional, national and international market demand for environmental
technologies and products will also enable the BECA to target likely recruitment prospects. Tracking
emerging environmental companies will be central to the BETRC's goal of keeping abreast of industry
trends and recruitment prospects.
4.1.7. Financial Assistance
In addition to technical assistance programs, the BETRC will provide a vehicle for inventorying and
providing access to all existing financial assistance programs appropriate for environmental companies.
BETRC staff will link with all pertinent public and private entities to stay abreast of changing legislation,
policies, grant and loan program guidelines and application procedures, and related contacts. This
centralizing of available financial resources is key to the success of emerging companies for whom time _
and money - can be a matter of life or death for the venture.
Examples of existing programs which would be accessible through the BETRC include:

Environmental Incubator Program
4.2.1. The Environmental Incubator Program - Need and Concept
As discussed above, the environmental industry has great potential for new jobs. A large segment of the
environmental industry's growth will come from the start-up of new ventures and the development of new
technology. Assistance is needed to nurture small business development in this emerging field.
The future BEBC in Chula Vista has been announced by the California EP A as one of 3 statewide
environmental incubators in the three major metropolitan regions of California (Los Angeles, San Jose, and
San Diego). The focus of the incubators will be on emerging environmental technology, sustainable
development and environmental efficiency, in the areas of demonstration and commercialization.
The BEBC will offer advantages for these small companies that are unavailable anywhere else, e.g. an
affordable and practical environment, on and off-site business development services, and networks to
facilitate synergistic exchange. The BEBC will provide tenants with substantial cost savings, will
encourage partnerships between these emerging businesses and larger corporations (which for example, may
want to buy a patent or form a joint venture), and will promote cooperation between users and producers
of environmental teclmology - a goal high on the state and federal administrations' agendas. Environmental

industry experts feel that the need for this type of program is more pronounced than ever due to the drying
up of traditional financial sources such as venture capital firms (which regard the environmental industry
as risky ventures, despite the industry's global annual revenues of $200 to $300 billion).
The three state endorsed incubators will be linked to each other in order to promote synergy between
tenants in each of the incubators and to enhance collaboration with established corporations, universities,
and government agencies including the BETRC, the San Diego High Technology Resource Center, the San
Diego Regional Technology Alliance, the California Institute for Environmental Technologies at UCSD,
and other alliance members.
4.2.2. Proposed Tenants: Demonstration and Commercialization
It is anticipated that environmental research and development will primarily occur in facilities proximal to
the University of California, San Diego and other research institutes. The BEBC will not attempt to
duplicate the R&D infrastructure already available in these areas. Rather, the BEBC will be a unique
demonstration and industrial process testing facility whose primary mission is to shepherd technologies
from the laboratory into production and out into the national and global marketplace. In this capacity, the
BEBC will function as an environmental technology transfer center. As previously indicated, the emphasis
will be on tenants developing new environmental technologies, sustainable development and environmental
efficiency. A BEBC Market Study is underway to develop program policies and specific tenant selection
criteria. It is anticipated that an emphasis will be placed upon businesses which involve export potential.
4.2.3. Incubator Facility Characteristics
The initial incubator facility will be located in the city of Chula Vista with easy access to the Environmental
Technology Resource Center (BETRC) at the Southwestern College Small Business
Development/International Trade Center. The facility will offer inexpensive and flexible office space for
some 20-25 start-up businesses, shared equipment (such as PBX system, facsimile and copy machines), and
a shared conference room and other space. The facility may also include limited shop space, as well as
shipping and receiving capabilities.
4.2.4, Incubator Program Services
Business development and marketing development services are an intrinsic component of the incubator
program. These services will be made available on- and off-site. Examples of general technical assistance

4.2.5. Program Development/Management
The incubator program is being developed by a Project Team including the City of Chula Vista, the
California Business Incubator Network (CBIN) and Business Cluster Development, a private firm
specializing in industry cluster incubator programs. The facility will be managed by the California
Business Incubator Network, as Interim Non-profit Sponsor under contract to the City of Chula Vista.
CBIN will be responsible for providing centralized management of the facility's operations including
overhead and leasing as well as for coordinating all business development services - both on and off-site -
and specifically encouraging linkages with the BETRC, and the EDA-funded San Diego region High
Technology Resource Center, RTA and World Trade Center.
Candidate tenants will be required to be screened by both a Technical Advisory Council and a Financial
Advisory Council. Tenants will be required to meet certain criteria including preparation of an acceptable
business plan, demonstration of need, business efficacy and product viability. Tenants will also be required
to "contract" with the Incubator program to undergo a program of technical training or to link with a
skilled team of advisors. An exit policy will be developed regarding turnover of Incubator tenants.
4.3. BECA Environmental Technology Demonstration Program
4.3.1. New Incentive Programs
As previously discussed, the BETRC will emphasize the bundling of existing resources in order to provide
centralized, one-stop assistance to the overall environmental industry cluster. In addition, the BECA
intends to create new financial assistance ofoerams specificallv tailored to the environmental industry as
a means of stimulatini! the 8i!i!re2"ation of environmentallv benevolent businesses within a Demonstration
Area. The BECA proposes a Tiered Incentive Program which correlates business needs, risk levels, public
economic benefits and environmental achievements with the type and level of assistance offered.
The BECA in its capacity as a demonstration program, proposes to undertake a market study to determine
specific environmental industry financial assistance needs and to design incentives accordingly, tiered to
industry type and stage of development. The results will enable the BECA to offer market driven
incentives within the proposed Demonstration Area which can serve as a model for state and national
program development. Incentive programs will be designed to specifically encourage the utilization and
demonstration of state-of-the-art environmentally friendly sustainable technologies by virtually any type of
industry within the Demonstration Area.

BECA - Plan Overview
July 8, 1994
Two examples of proposed new BECA Demonstration Area incentive programs are designed to address
the needs of start up and re-emerging environmental businesses needing access to capital. These include
the formation of an Environmental Technologies Seed Capital Fund and an Environmental Technologies
Venture Capital Pool and are discussed below.
. Seed CaDi tal Fund (oan/~rant/~uarantees) for start-uDS and re-emer~in~ "sDin-
affs" - Start-ups (companies with less than $1 million in revenues) require
varying degrees of venture investment in order to take their product or service
from research and development to manufacturing. This "early stage" investment
is often from individual(s) who would like to participate in a young, promising
concept or entrepreneurial team. One of the major problems for entrepreneurs
in the environmental industry now is that there are few seed investors who
understand this industry and therefore are willing to invest. The BECA, through
its clustering of services, resources and expertise through the BETRC.
Incubator, and related networks, will provide a much higher degree of
understanding and will provide a forum for educating local and out of state
investors on an ongoing basis. In addition, the BECA intends to fonn a
public/private "seed capital fund." The creation of an environmental technology
capital pool will minimize risk of any given investor as well as increase the
investor's confidence that the entrepreneurs will have a higher degree of
resources available to them than if they were on their own.
. Venture caDital Dools (enuitv financin~) - Similar to the Seed Capital Fund, the
BECA proposes to establish a Venture Capital Pool, for 2nd or 3rd tier
financing (typically companies in the $1 million to $5 million revenue range).
All of the benefits that apply to the seed stage financing apply at this level.
However, additional assurance of marketing and productions expertise on the
management team is required.
4.3.2" BECA Demonstration Area Boundaries
The BECA Demonstration Area will include portions of the unincorporated County of San Diego, portions
of the City of San Diego, and the Cities of Chula Vista, National City and Imperial Beach. Basically, the
Demonstration Area is bordered by the United States-Mexico border to the south, the coastline to the west,
2 miles to the north of State Route 94 and 2 miles to the east of future State Route 125. The area includes
A~ J({>5?'
~
~
BECA - Plan Overview
July 8, 1994
three major transit routes - 1-5, SR 94 and future SR 125 - to provide businesses with convenient access
to the Southern California freeway system and the international border.
4.3.3. Demonstration Area Financial Assistance Programs: Business Types
New BECA incentives will be unique to the Demonstration Area and will be linked to eligibility criteria
designed to further the goals and objectives of the BECA program. An interested business (existing within
the Demonstration Area or considering locating within the Demonstration Area) will apply for these types
of assistance and be evaluated in terms of BECA Demonstration Area objectives. Eligibility criteria, in
line with these objectives, will be designed to oromote the attraction. retention and develooment of
environmentally benevolent businesses and business Dractices.
The BECA is adopting the federal Department of Commerce (DOC) definition of the Environmental
Industry. Further, eligible environmental industry applicants for Demonstration Area fmancial incentives
will generally fall into one or more of the following three categories:
1) Producer - A business which innovates, develops or manufactures an
environmentally-sound product.
2) User - A business which uses environmentally sound technology, defmed as
technology that goes above and beyond the required control technologies.
3) Service Provider - A business which provides services which are intended to
prevent, decrease, control, mitigate, detect or monitor pollution.
Examples of business types expected to meet the Demonstration Area objectives include:
1. research, development and/or manufacturing of pollution control equipment
2. development or utilization of technologies or strategies that prevent pollution or
decrease waste generation and emit only small amounts of pollutants in the
production phase
3. product manufacturing and/or utilization of processes that promote the
conservation of natural resources (such as water reclamation and sewage
treatment technologies)
4. development of alternative energy/fuel sources
5. development or manufacturing of pesticide and herbicide alternatives

6. development or manufacturing of non-point source treatment technologies
7. utilization of innovative low enússion technologies
8. exportation of products or services using environmentally-sound technology
9. environmental consultant services
4.3.4. Demonstration Area Financial Assistance Programs:
Objectives
Environmental
The Demonstration Program will develop incentives that are designed to attract, promote, and develop
environmental businesses which:
1) demonstrate that they utilize the highest level pollution prevention
technology/processes (with a zero discharge goal) or
2) demonstrate that they strive for minimal depletion of the natural resources it
uses, and
3) demonstrate achievement in meeting Demonstration Area objectives in the areas
of:
a) historical compliance
b) discharge to air, land and water
c) storage and utilization of chemicals
d) environmental contribution of product
e) production process
f) air pollution emission

4.3.5. Demonstration Area Technology Training Incentives
The BECA will become a leader in environmental business education and awareness in Southern California
and the country via the centralization of resources, including specialized training forums at the
Environmental Technology Resource Center (BETRC). The BETRC will encourage the participation of
businesses in educational seminars, workshops and networking opportunities related to state-of-the-art
pollution prevention and control methods, leading-edge applications of new technologies and multi-national
environmental management approaches.
It is the intent of the BECA to maximize a sharing of the expertise and experiences of each business
receiving direct Demonstration Area financial assistance through structured exchanges via the BETRC.
The BETRC will encourage these exchanges among participating Demonstration Area companies. The
BECA will also encourage Demonstration Area businesses to participate in workshops and seminars in a
"student" capacity as relates to new environmental technologies which can enhance the company's
capabilities, competitiveness and cost effectiveness. Ultimately, the goal of the Demonstration Area
Program is to create a state.-of-the-art, interactive, training forum for the integration of innovative,
environmentally sustainable technologies and procedures into the Southern California business community.
4.4. Community Resource Linkages
As discussed, the BECA will take advantage of the vast economic development resources which already
exist in the San Diego community. It will do so without overlapping or creating redundant administrative
systems. To this end, the proposed BETRC and BEBC have established linkages with the following
organizations:
4.4.1. California Environmental Technology Partnership (CaIETP)
The CalETP is a marriage of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) and the California
Trade and Commerce Agency (CTCA). The purpose of CalETP is to pursue pollution preventioD, and to
assist and promote California-based companies that research, develop, produce, market and export
environmental technologies, goods and services. It is a public/private cooperative effort guided by the
Environmental Technology Advisory Council (ET AC) that encourages strategic alliances.
ETAC has developed a long-term Strategic Plan for California's environmental industry. The BECA
(formerly 'BECZ ') is identified in the CalETP 1994 Statewide Strategic Plan as a 'Technology
Development Association'. The BECA will be an integral element of the plan, as a grass root, regionally-
,-p~ /~/þ/
BECA - Plan Overview

based implementation program to carry out CalETP objectives. As discussed previously, the Border
Environmental Business Cluster has been identified by CalETP as one of 3 State-sponsored environmental
incubators in California.
As part of BECA's partnership with the state, CaIEPA's Department of Toxic Substances Control's Office
of Pollution Prevention and Technology Development (OPPTD) will support the BETRC and BEBC by
making available documents and electronic information regarding pollution prevention and waste
minimization from the OPPTD Technology Clearinghouse. OPPTD staff will make themselves available
to consult with BETRC and BEBC staff and individual companies regarding pollution prevention and waste
minimization strategies and practices. The OPPTD will also conduct quarterly pollution prevention/waste
minimization workshops for small businesses associated with the BETRC/BEBC, Mexican businesses and
government representatives and U. S. businesses operating maquiladoras in the border region. The OPPTD
will also help BETRC staff assess environmental technology needs and develop strategies to reduce
pollution along the U.S./Mexican commercial corridor.
The California Trade and Commerce Agency will also partner with BECA. For example, CTCA will
provide specialized assistance in the area of international trade. CTCA staff will work with the BETRC
to design and sponsor site visits/tours of California environmental companies and technology manufacturing
facilities for representatives of Mexican companies and government agencies. They will also organize and
conduct on behalf of the BETRC and associated companies trade and reverse trade missions to promote
the utilization of California environmental technologies by the Mexican government and Mexican
businesses.
4.4.2. Southwestern College Small Business Development and International Trade
Center (SBDITC)
The Southwestern College Small Business Development and International Trade Center (SBDITC) will be
home to the Environmental Technology Resource Center (BETRC). Southwestern College works closely
with the business community to carry out its economic development mission of education and training. The
college has targeted programs in several areas: environmental technologv. small business. and international
trade. The BETRC enhances SBDlTC targeted programs, and will be supported by the SBDCITC
resources, as described below.

BECA ALLIANCE
The BECA will be the umbrella coalition which insures optimal coordination of numerous existing
economic development programs which can contribute to the overall mission. Examples of· such
programs include the San Diego Regional Trade Alliance (RTA), the California Environmental
Technology Partnership (CAL ETP), the San Diego Economic Adjustment Program, the Southwestern
College Small Business DevelopmentlInternational Trade Center, UCSD Connect, Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, the CACf, SupercOmputer Center, San Diego Recycling and Enterprize Zones, National
Labs and federal initiatives such as NIST, ARPA, and TRP, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EP A) programs. Additionally, BECA will create the framework for the creation of.additional regionally-
based, environmentally-related business development initiatives. Among these are a BECA
Environmental Technology Resource Center, a BECA Environmental Cluster Incubator Program, and a
BECA Demonstration Area.
PROPOSED NEW BECA INITIATIVES
The City-of ChuIa Vista has acted as a catalyst to bring the proposed regional alliance into being and is
proposing four specific initiatives which would benefit all BECA partners as well as provide for specific
business outreach in the South Bay area. The proposed initiatives compliment the San Diego region's.
Economic Adjustment program as well as the State's Regional Technology Alliance (RT A) and California
Environmental Technology Partnership programs. The three initiatives which would be endorsed by the
BECA Alliance are outlined below:
1. Environmental Technolo~ Resource Center Å’TRC)
The ETRC will be located at the Southwestern College Small Business DevelopmentlInternational Trade
Center (SBDIIT). The ETRC will act as a ·satellite· to the City of San Diego's High Tech Resource
Center, providing regional services from a location convenient to South Bay industry, and at the same
time offering a specialized service in teníIS öf environmental technology related expertise. The ETRC will
be the San Diego region technology center speci~Ji"i"g in the eßviro)ment~1 field. City of Chula VISta
staff and City of San Diego staff are working to prepare an application for EDA funding to augment San
Diego's existing EDA funded regional economic conversion program.
2. Environmental Cluster Incubator
Cal EP A has initiated the development of the California Environmental Business Incubators Project
(CEBIP) as an element of its Statewide Environmental Technology Partnership Strategic Plan and has
recently announced that the three environmental incubator facilities will be located in the Silicon Valley,
Los Angeles, and the City of Chula Vista. ChuIa Vista is currently working with the California Business
Incubator Network and Business Cluster Development to implement our local program. The BECA
Environmental Cluster Incubator will encourage environmental business start-ups by providing a common
site where these small businesses can eo<locate in order to benefit from the resulting synergies and tap
into BECA related resources.
The CEBIP incubator program intends to act as a catalyst to encourage environmental incubator programs
which promote the environmental industry and technologies, support defense conversion and job creating
efforts, and demonstrate how small and start-up businesses can operate in an environmenta1ly responsible
manner, utilizing sustainable technology practices within their companies.

3. BECA Demonstration Area
In keeping with the border orientation, a BECA Demonstration Area would be created to encompass
portions of the County of San Diego, portions of the City of San Diego, and the Cities of Chula Vista,
National City, and Imperial 'Beach. The Demonstration Area would be developed as a pilot program to
develop and demonstrate targeted incentive programs for the emerging environmental industry, Incentives
would be designed to support business start-up and expansion, technology commercialization, and cost-
effective integration of state-of-the-art pollution prevention, waste minimization, and sustainable
technologies. Incentives could include direct financial assistance and cutting edge pollution prevention

BORDER ENVIRONMENTAL BUSINESS CLUSTER
(BEBC)
· A Border Environmental Commerce Alliance Initiative
PURPOSE
Many of the new jobs created in the rapidly expanding environmental industry will be from start
up firms. The Border Environmental Business Cluster (BEBe) is being designed to serve start
up businesses focusing on environmental technologies, approaches to sustainable developments,
and environmental efficiency. The Cluster will serve as a launching pad for new businesses by
providing inexpensive office space and access to a variety of business development services.
SPONSORS
The California Environmental Technology Partnership has designated the BEBC as one of three
statewide environmental business clusters it is supporting as part of its statewide strategic plan
for the environmental technology industry. The City of Chula Vista is currently working with
the California Business Incubation Network and Business Cluster Development Company to plan
and establish the BEBC as a non-profit business development operation.
THE FACILITY/LINKAGES
The BEBC facility will be located in Chula Vista, California and will offer inexpensive and
flexible spaces for 20 to 25 start-up businesses: Businesses will be able to use shared office
equipment and space. Business development services and counseling in areas such as technology
transfer, marketing, and export assistance will be available on site from a broad range of partners
including academic, public, and private resources. Tenants will also have easy access to the
planned Border Environmental Technology Resource Center (also in Chula Vista) and the other
two regional clusters in Thousand Oaks and San Jose.
TENANTS
Tenants mnst fall within a broad definition of environmental firms and be in the first or second
year of operation. The BEBC will offer these firms a unique demonstration and industrial
process testing facility whose primary mission will be to shepherd technologies from the
laboratory into production and out into the national and international markets. The facility will
serve more mature businesses by offering room to expand and specialized services such as
venture capital strategies.

DRAFT
EXCERPT FROM THE MINUTES OF THE JULY 6, 1994
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING
2a. Border Environmental Commerce Alliance Update
Cheryl Dye described the efforts currently underway to develop an Economic
Development Administration (EDA) grant application. She further explained that staff
will present the draft preproposal to the City Council on July 19 for their approval.
The application has two major components: the BETRC (Border Environmental
Technology Resource Center) and the BEBC (Border Environmental Business Cluster).
The Chula Vista EDA application is being developed so as to build on efforts in the
City of San Diego. The City of San Diego has received approximately $6,000,000 in
EDA support for a regional economic development program. The major areas that the
City of San Diego is pursuing include the following: a high-tech council, a high-tech
resource center, a world trade center, a high tech incubator and a seed capital. The
two major components of Chula Vista's program are: the BETRC is going to expand
San Diego's efforts geographically by creating a satellite technology resource center
to serve the South Bay and specifically the environmental industry. A unique feature
of this technology resource center would be its ability to further cross-border relations
and the potential for exports. The second component of our application also closely
aligned with San Diego's regional effort is the BEBC. It will be an incubator facility
that will house 20 - 25 businesses that have been in business for less than two years
and that qualify as an environmental business. Generally, qualification means that
business would 1) create products which help the environment, 2) provide services to
business which help the environment or 3) utilize environmentally sound processes in
manufacturing.
Ms. Dye further went on to explain some of the details contained within the EDA
application. She stated that the application will be for roughly $2.6 million in funding.
This would support two to three years of the program. The application is not only a
local effort but brings together various other entities state, regional and local to make
this effort possible. The $2.6 million request requires that the City match this request
with a certain amount of funding. That funding can be cash or in-kind services. The
City has obtained commitments to in-kind matches. The state has agreed to allow our
program to access the environmental technology clearinghouse as well as to provide
training to the program's businesses in the areas of pollution prevention. The City of
San Diego's high tech incubator will be cross referring interested parties to our
incubator and vice versa to service the high tech industry as well as the environmental
industry. Southwestern College has also agreed to provide business development
assistance through their Small Business Development and International Trade Center.
UCSD Connect will provide access to various venture capital sources.
~ /~/77
The City is also pursuing a state defense adjustment matching of $100,000. The
probability of our receiving this funding is very high because of how well our program
matches the objectives of their program. The program is designed to match Federal
monies coming into the area to help defense industries convert to other commercially
viable businesses. Finally, a critical component of this application is the donation of
a vacant Rohr facility for the 8!:TRC & 8!:8C.
Ms. Dye further explained that staff will be seeking conceptual support from the San
Diego High-Tech Council on July 14. We need to obtain their approval of this
program before submitting a final application to the Economic Development Agency.
Discussion between various members of the Commission ensued regarding the types
of cash funds that are available. Ms. Dye explained that two sources of potential cash
match include Community Development Block Grant funding and rental revenue from
the incubator facility which will be set at a lower than market rate. Staff will evaluate
options for recommendation to Council.
Commissioner Reed requested that staff explain how the $100,000 CDBG allocation,
from Fiscal Year 1993/94, was being used. Ms. Dye explained that Council authorized
$100,000 allocation to develop the Border Environmental Commerce Alliance by
retaining the services of a director. Council subsequently authorized using $20,000
of the funds to retain two consultants who serve as the interim director for the
program currently and the City Manager authorized $4,800 for assistance in preparing
the EDA application. Fifty thousand dollars was made available to fund these
activities immediately and another $50,000 was to be made available when matching
funds were obtained from outside sources. Currently approximately $55,000 remain
unencumbered in this fund. 1
Chairman Tuchscher clarified that the support being sought by staff is conceptual
approval for the program and the application that is being developed.
A motion and second (Peter/Compton) was made to recommend that Council direct
staff to move forward with the development of an application to pursue EDA funding
as well as related endorsements and contributions. The motion was carried by a vote
of 5-2-2 (Patrick & Lebron absent; 2 vacancies).

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE OPENING OF
ESCROW FOR THE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 746 AND 750 ADA STREET FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND DAY CARE FACILITY, WITH
CLOSING OF ESCROW SUBJECT TO FINAL CEQA AND NEPA

BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting of May 17, 1994, in executive session, the
Council authorized staff to finalize negotiations to acquire two parcels at the northwest corner
of Industrial Boulevard and Ada Street for the purpose of developing the child care facility
associated with the development of the Palomar Trolley Center shopping center, as well as an
affordable housing development. Staff was authorized to offer the property owner $635,000.00,
which is the appraised value, plus not-to-exceed $8,000.00 for the actual costs incurred by the
owner for site clearance and the relocation of tenants. Negotiations have been concluded, and
escrow documents have been prepared at a purchase price of $635,000.00 plus a maximum
allowance of $8,000.00 for site clearance and relocation.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council adopt the resolution approving the opening of
escrow for the property acquisition with close of escrow subject to final CEQA and NEP A
review, authorizing the City Manager to take necessary actions to complete the acquisition, and
appropriating $643,000.00 in HOME Program funds therefor.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Housing Advisory Committee has
discussed the proposed project at several meetings and has expressed strong support without
taking any formal action.
DISCUSSION: The following discussion addresses the specifics of the properties, the
negotiated purchase, and the status of the intended development of a child care facility and an
affordable housing project.
The Properties: The two adjacent parcels (746 Ada Street/APN 622-020-20 and 750 Ada
Street/ APN 622-020-30) are located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Industrial
Boulevard and Ada Street (see map, Attachment 1). They are bounded on the east by the
MTDB Palomar Trolley Station (across Industrial Boulevard) and on the other three sides by

residential uses. Total acreage is 2.01 acres. Each parcel is improved with an aging single-
family residence, and each residence is occupied by tenants. The parcels are relatively flat and
present no significant impediments to development. Zoning is R2-P, which allows one dwelling
unit per 3500 square feet.
The properties were appraised for the City on December 28, 1993, at a market value of
$635,000.00, or $7.25 per square foot. This value is based on a highest and best use as vacant
land held for redevelopment. The appraiser found that the existing improvements contribute no
value to the properties.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared for the City which found no apparent
hazardous waste on the property and no historical land uses that would make contamination
likely. The purchase contract stipulates that the seller represents to its best knowledge that the
site is free of contamination and that the seller is responsible for any contamination of which it
was aware subsequently discovered on the site.
The Negotiated Purchase: At the May 17, 1994 Council meeting, the Council approved
offering the appraised value of $635,000.00 plus an allowance of not-to-exceed $8,000.00 for
the owner's actual cost of site clearance and relocation. The owner of the properties has agreed
to the purchase price of $635,000.00, plus the not-to-exceed $8,000.00 allowance for the
owner's costs of clearing the site and relocating existing tenants. Site clearance will entail
removing the two existing single-family dwellings. It will be made a condition of escrow that
any clearance contract subject to the allowance will require the prior approval of City staff.
Status of Intended Development: The proposed site development is a day care and Head Start
facility for a maximum of 150 children and eleven to twelve low-income first-time homebuyer
townhomes. Staff has made much progress in predeveloment meetings with Habitat for Humanity
and Episcopal Community Services. Recently, South Bay Community Services (SBCS) has
joined the discussions to explore the benefits of a joint-venture effort that could bring some of
SBCS's strengths and funding sources to the project. Staff will return to the Council in the near
future with a full analysis of the development and funding options.
The Palomar Trolley Center developer has agreed to have the general contractor for the center,
Collins Construction, build the day care facility at no profit, to assist in arranging for member-
contractors of the Building Industry Association to provide free or discounted services, and to
guarantee a $50,000.00 scholarship fund for low-income children to attend the facility.
It has been determined that the acquisition of the subject parcels for the development of the
affordable housing and the day care center constitutes a project under CEQA. Therefore, an
Initial Study process is underway, and it is expected that a negative declaration will be the result.
Additionally, in order to use the federal HOME Program funds, a parallel environmental review
process under NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) is required. Due to the time
sensitivity of the transaction, it is recommended that the acquisition and the appropriation of
funds be approved at this time, but with close of escrow expressly conditioned upon satisfactory
completion of the CEQA- and NEP A-required environmental processes. This approach has been
analyzed and approved by the City Attorney.

Meeting Date 07/19/94
FISCAL IMPACT: The maximum acquisition cost would be $643,000.00, if the entire
allowance for site clearance and relocation were used. Therefore, an appropriation of
$643,000.00 is required from HOME Program funds:
TOTAL
$322,000.00
$321,000.00
$643,000.00
FY 1993-94 HOME Funds
FY 1994-95 HOME Funds
The expenditure of those HOME funds will leave an available balance in the HOME Program
of approximately $500,000.00. Other uses of the HOME funds being contemplated include
possible subsidies to the relocation mobilehome park effort, a limited equity cooperative housing
project proposal from South Bay Community Services, and various gap financing efforts for
affordable apartments. All of these projects may not be accomplishable from the remaining
balance of the HOME Program funds. However, HUD indicates that the City will be in a good
position to receive additional HOME funds in the near future from funds de-obligated from other
cities that have not been able to utilize those funds as successfully as Chula Vista.
Because the HOME Program is specifically an affordable housing program, it would be
necessary to reimburse the HOME funds for the portion of the property used for the day care
facility at the point at which the day care facility was developed. That value is estimated at
$212,000.00. The most likely source ofreimbursement funds is future Community Development
Block Funds (CDBG). In the meantime, the properties represent a legitimate site to land bank
for an affordable housing project.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ;.1)
Meeting Date 7/19/94
ITEM TITLE:
Report on Appointment of Council Member to SANDAG Housing
Advisory Committee
SUBMITTED BY:
Director of Planning i ' S .
Director of Community Dy~lopment ( -
City Manager JG 'cr~J (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No..K)
REVIEWED BY:
The SANDAG Board has approved the establishment of a committee to review existing state
housing element laws and current legislation. The SANDAG Executive Director has requested
the appointment of a member of the Chula Vista City Council to this committee.
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council select a member to participate on the SANDAG
Housing Advisory Committee.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The specific purpose of the proposed SANDAG housing advisory committee is to evaluate
existing laws pertaining to preparation of local housing elements, and consider revisions to the
law which would allow jurisdictions to emphasize production of housing, simplify the planning
process, and promote local flexibility in providing low and moderate income housing (see
attached letter). Membership on the committee will include several local elected officials, as
well as construction and housing development industries, the financial sector, affordable housing
advocacy groups, and nonprofit housing agencies.
The City of Chula Vista has taken a proactive approach in the adoption and implementation of
its Housing Element and affordable housing programs, and has been able to comply with existing
State law. However, it would be beneficial for the City to participate in an evaluation of ways
in which the law could be modified to make the process more efficient, and focus limited
resources on housing production activities. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council
appoint a member to this committee.
However, if the Council does not wish to designate a member of the Council to this committee,
another option would be to direct the City Manager to designate an appropriate staff member.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.

CITY OF SAN DIEGO,

Defendant.

17 SIERRA CLUB OF SAN DIEGO, EMILY
DURBIN, and BRUCE HENDERSON,
18
Intervenors.
19
20 Amicus county of San Diego (County) respectfully submits this
21 brief on the Interim Order. The county requests that the Interim
22 Order clearly state that it does not affect existing contractual
23 rights. At the June 23, 1994, hearing on the Interim Order, the Court
24 agreed with this position.
25 THE INTERIM ORDER SHOULD CLEARLY
STATE THAT IT DOES NOT AFFECT
26 - - --EXISTING CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS
27 The city of San Diego (City) should not gain a contractual
28 advantage over the other agencies in the Metropolitan Sewerage system
20'/
,.
1 (Metro System) simply because the Interim Order includes the North
2 City Water Reclamation Plant. Therefore, the Interim Order should
3 clearly state that it does not affect existing contractual rights.
4 The City is under no legal obligation to construct the North City
5 Plant. The Clean Water Act does not require water reclamation. There
6 is no consent decree in effect or proposed consent decree under
7 consideration that would require the city to construct the North City
8 Plant. There is no judgment following a trial requiring the City to
9 construct the North city Plant. The City is, nonetheless, proceeding
10 to construct the North city Plant apparently pursuant to the
11 Consumers' Alternative previously adopted by the San Diego City
12 Council.
13 The existing Sewage Disposal Agreements between the City and the
14 other agencies in the Metro System specifically provide that any water
15 reclamation undertaken by the city shall be at the City's sole cost.
16 Section 28 of the Sewage Disposal Agreement of 1960 states, in part,
17 "At any time during the term of this agreement or any
extension thereof, City, at its own expense, may and shall
18 have the right to reclaim water from any sewage in The
Metropolitan Sewerage System and to install at any place or
19 places in such System works or facilities for the
reclamation of water from sewage. The cost of such
20 reclamation of water shall be the sole expense of City. but
the Particioatina Aaencv shall remain liable for its oortion
21 of M & 0 exoenses Cincludina orimarv sewaae treatment and
disDosal). .. " (Emphasis added.)
22
23 The sewage Disposal Agreement of 1974 includes virtually identical
24 language in section 25.
25 The agreements also include a section on operation and
26 maintenance (not cons~ruction) in which the city agrees to operate the
27 sewer system in accordance with all laws. Section 7 of the Sewage
28 Disposal Agreement of 1960 states in part,
.
-2- 020 /' g/
1 "City agrees to convey, treat (including chlorination if
required) and dispose of all sewage received into The
2 Metropolitan Sewerage System under the terms of this
contract in such manner as to comply with all applicable
3 laws, rules and regulations."
4 The Sewage Disposal Agreement of 1974 includes identical language in
5 section 7.
6 Absent this lawsuit by the federal government, there would be no
7 question that under the existing agreements, the City alone would have
8 to pay for the cost of the North City Plant. No law, rule or
9 regulation would require the City to construct the North City Plant.
10 Consequently, sections 28 and 25 of the existing agreements would
11 require the City to pay for the North city Plant.
12 However, the City has clearly indicated that it will attempt to
13 allocate the costs of the North City Plant among the other agencies in
14 the Metro System on the basis that the Interim Order requires the City
15 to construct the plant.' The city will presumably argue that the
16 Interim Order requiring ~he City to, construct the North City Plant is
17 a "law, rule or regulation" with which the City must comply. Thus,
18 the City will further argue, it is not obligated to pay for the entire
19 cost of the North City Plant, but can allocate the costs of the plant
20 among all the agencies in the Metro System. However, it would be
21 unfair to the other agencies in the Metro System for the Court to give

1 At the June 23, 1994, hearing, the Cities of Chula Vista,
26 Imperial Beach;"El ~~on and La Mesa made it clear that they,
too, believe that the City of San Diego will use the Interim
27 Order to try to allocate the costs of the North City Plant among
the other agencies.

2 obligation to construct the North City Plant.2
3 At the June 23, 1994, hearing on the Interim Order, the Court
4 clearly stated that it did not intend the Interim Order to affect
5 existing contractual rights. For example, the Court stated,
6 "No, I don't exactly regard it [the Interim Order] as
neutral. All I view here is that the order is not intended
7 to alter or amend any existing contract and, furthermore,
that whatever rights the parties have in their contract
8 should be unaffected by the order." JExh. A, Transcript of
June 23, 1994, hearing, p. 28:17-21.)
9
10 The County, therefore, requests the following changes to the June
11 21, 1994, draft Interim Order proposed by the City:
12
1. Page 1, line 25, delete the word "orders" and on line 26
13 delete the word "by" and add the word "completion" so that the
14 sentence reads:
15
"A. CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
16
"The Court accroves of the program of construction
of the following facilities and the specified
completion dates where noted, all as listed in the
'Consumers' Alternative' or as otherwise suggested by
the city: ,,4

19
2 Negotiations to establish a new waste water district,
20 including how costs would be allocated, are currently in
progress. The agencies that join the new district should also be
21 free to agree among themselves how the costs of the sewer system
will be allocated without any member agency having an advantage
22 just because the North city Plant is included in the Interim
Order.
23
24 3 Exhibit A is pages 17-34 of the transcript of the June
23, 1994, hearing on the Interim Order. The Court repeatedly
25 stated that the Interim Order should not affect existing
contractual rights. (See pp. 17:15-23, 19:4-14, 20:1-4, 25:15-

2. Page 13, line 12, add the following as Paragraph F:

"F. NO EFFECT ON EXISTING CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS
3
"The Court hereby declares that this Order shall not be
4 deemed to alter or amend the rights of any party to any
existing contract that has not been presented to and decided
5 by this Court. Any such contractual rights of any party to
a contract, including, but not limited to, the Sewage
6 Disposal Agreements of 1960, 1972 and 1974 between the City
of San Diego and the Participating Agencies and Later
7 Participating Agencies, shall be unaffected by this order."
8 The County does not oppose water reclamation and does not oppose
9 the construction of the North City Plant. However, the costs of that
10 plant should be allocated strictly according to the existing sewer
11 agreements or any new agreement entered into among the agencies in the
12 new waste water district. The Interim Order should not affect the
13 allocation of those costs.

2 year from now, and it all reverts back and it's the City,
3 they simply don't want -- I mean, if they -- even then, it's
4 hypothetical, but if they get into a legal fight with the
5 City about the reclamation portions of the North City plant
6 as to whether they should pay any or all portions of that
7
cost, they don't want to have to not only answer a whole
list of arguments by the City fOllc:wed by one more, namely,
your order that says -- and have the City people come over

J.J. lose this arbitration. II That' s the only real concern I
J.2 believe they have and I understand that. I can't address
J.3 it, though, from the District, because we don't take that
J.4 position, but they're
J.5
J.6
THE COURT: Okay, I understand your position. Let
me suggest this to you.
It wasn't the contemplation of this
~
J.7 Court that orders that it would be making with respect to
18 bringing this community into compliance with whatever law
J.9 we're going to be complying with would have any impact on
20 contracts that were made or agreements that were entered
2J. into among the member agencies. That was not the Court's
22 contemplation. I had no view in my own mind that I was
23 doing that. I had no idea I was doing that.
24
MR. WOODRUFF: Your Honor, the position of the
25 District is in support of that. It was not our

contemplation. We don't envision that. It's not before the
Court. and I don't think counsel are in fact urging the
Court. I think everyone recognizes it's not there, but
2
3
4 they're just nervous, based on how I just outlined it, and
5 they -- you know, if they could get some tempering language
6 or something, I think, as Mr. McDougal suggested, that's
7 their concern. But, I would agree.
8
MR. McDOUGAL: Thank you, your Honor, and frankly,
9 I think, if I could have a transcript of what you just said,
10 that you shall not hear from me anymore. Thank you.
11
THE COURT: Well, if you've got any money, wé
12
13
could sell you a transcript. That's easy.
MR. DRAGNA: Your Honor, if I could make just a
"
14 quick point on this issue. This is, as is obvious ,from the
15 discussion, a very politically sensitive issue. There are
16 negotiations, frantic negotiations, that are going on among
17 the cities, among the City of San Diego, either under the
18 District umbrella or outside the District umbrella. I think
19 whatever in fact the Court's order has, as a matter of law,
20 under those agreements, is to be decided in another arena.
21 I think that we should --
22
THE COURT: I'm not sure what you mean exactly by
23 that, but let me suggest this to you.·' The order can be
24 drafted -- and now that you've sensitized me -- and I read
25 this point in the papers before we started the hearing this.·

1 afternoon. I'm aware that that's a point of contention. At
2 least I was aware of it with respect to Chula Vista. Now, I
3 understand it's perhaps a sensitive point with other
4
communities as well. I don't see any reason why the order
could not provide whatever interim orders are entered' with
~
5
6 respect to capital improvements or to maintenance or
7 operation and upkeep and so forth. I don't know why the
8 order could not specify that the order outlining what's
9 going to be accomplished, in order-to bring the entire
10 community into compliance with whatever is going to he the
11 law that it has to comply with, can't be entered into bY'~he
12 Court without prejudice to whatever contractual rights or
13 arrangements are being made legislatively and politically
14 within th~ community.
15
MR. DRAGNA: My point, your Honor, is there are
16 contracts that exist that need to he interpreted. No one
17 really knows what those contracts and agreements really
18 mean, and to the extent that this order is without prejudice
19 to either position -- I don't think anyone has any dispute
20 over that -- let's let the forum that those contracts are
21 litigated under decide what impact, if any, this order has
22 from this Court. That's all. I think that's the most
23 politically sensitive way to get out of, this topic.
.
24
25
THE COURT: Do you agree with that statement?
MR. BOOGAARD: I just want to clarify, your Hc~or.

1 Are you suggesting that the order will be modified with the
2 provision that says nothing herein will affect the rights of ~
3 the parties under the agreements?
4
THE COURT: That's right.
MR. BOOGAARD: It's the next best thing to
5
6 removing it, so that would be satisfactory.
7
MR. DRAGNA: Your Honor, just so that it's clear,
8 I think that statement has a subs~antive impact. I think to
9 really be prejudice mutual, I think the provision in the
10 order should say that this order shall not prejudice the
11 rights of any party under the contracts, and then let the
12
parties argue what the order means in ths forum in which
that contract is being litigated.
THE COURT: If that has to be arbitrated or if it
13
14
15 has some administrative body that it has to be decided on,
16 or some other court.
17
MR. DRAGNA: I think the fair import of this is
18 that -- and I don't have a position. I'm not involved in
19 the negotiations with the District. I'm not involved in the
20
negotiations between the City and the District. I think
.
21 that to be fair, if those contracts are ever litigated, the
22 subject of what impact this order has, if any, on those
23 contracts need to be decided without prejudice from the
24 Court in this situation and simply let the issue be
25 litigated when it's litigated, if it ever is litigated.

J.
MR. WOODRUFF: The District concurs in that, your
2 Honor.
3
THE COURT: All right, let's pass that issue. I
4 think that we all understand each other, but having said
5 that, Mr. Booga~rd, I would hope that the district cóuld go
6 forward with a hundred percent membership in this sewer
7 system so that we aren't dealing with two or three different
8 agencies to run the sewer system of this county. I mean, it
-
9 would be a shame if we had Chula Vista and the District and
J.O maybe Imperial Beach and maybe EI Cajon, maybe Santee -- I
11
don't know. But, it would be a shame
I think the
.'
J.2 concept, if it is to come up with one organization called
J.3 this District and give everybody representation so their
J.4 voices cûn be heard in the strength that they are justly
J.5 entitled to be heard -- that should satisfy everyone.
J.6
MR. BOOGAARD: Well, there's a lot, your Honor,
J.7 that's gone on in the formation of the District that you're
18 not familiar with and there's rights that Chula Vista
19 had -- we believe that there's nothing additional gained by
20 participation, but we will continually consider membership
2J. in the District and we will also keep our other options
22 open. I guess it's not the time now to go into it.
23
THE COURT: Well, you know, the point was made by
24 Mr. Woodruff that the formulas for allocating expenses and
25 capital expenses and operating expense and revenue and so
EXHIBlï A
:ló - I 7

.
I
22
1 forth may vary from function to function. There may be a
2 different formula for capital investment. There may be a
3 different function for sharing operating expenses and so
4 forth. He pointed that out a few moments ago. Well, fine,
5 if that's the thing that the board comes up with in its
6 democratic way they come up these formulas and you all agree
7 to them, then you are accomplishing -- it seems to me, you
8 are accomplishing what I said, Wh~~h is that whatever
9 formulas you come up with for distributing, or imputing
10 revenue as well as expenses should be able to benefit all of
11 the members of that particular formula, whatever they are.
12 For example, if Chula Vista isn't involved in the capital
13 improvement formula for North City West, if they're not
14 being expected to help pay for that, then they shouldn't
15 have any worry about paying for reclaimed water. But, on
16 the other hand, if reclaimed water is generated and if it is
17 sold, then I would expect that the system for imputing the
18 revenue from that would be a formula very similar, if not
19 identical, to the formula which pays for the plant. You're
20 not going to have one formula for distribution of revenue
21 and another one for the payment of the capital expenses.
22 So, if Chula Vista isn't involved in the North City plant's
23 construction or operation or maintenance, the problem is
24 they're going to be involved in the distribution of income.
25
MR. DRAGNA: I think -- as the testimony that was

1 elicited in the last trial, these reclamation facilities
2 will be net losers for many, many years. There won't be a
3 significant amount of revenue coming in. They will be in"
4 the red for many years.
5
THE COURT: That may be se. That may be so, but
6 let's all be reminded of one thing. Sometimes we can be
7 penny-wise and dollar-foolish. And this country, this
8 county, this Southern California area -- I could be totally
9 wrong, I wish I were wrong, but from whatever I read and
10 whatever I see, and you're all reading the same things I'm
11 reading, newspapers, magazines and everything, we are
12 entering into a millennium where water is going to be ·~s
13 precious as gold, and if we don't get on top of it and get
14 smart about conserving water, it's going to be very, very
15 bad. So, reclaimed water plants are imminently in the
16 public interest if they can be done. So, I applaud the City
17 for building the North City plant as a reclamation water
18 plant and I recognize you're not going to be able to use all
19 of it right now at the beginning. But, you will have the
20
plant with the capability of producing it, and when you can
.
'21 distribute it, that's fine, and if you can take the next
22 step and go from tertiary, which is what it's designed to
23 be, a tertiary plant -- it's not a reclaimed water plant,
24 it's a tertiary water plant. If you could take the next
25 step and go from tertiary to reclaimed water so that we can
EXHIBIT A

1 reuse all the water of that plant, that's the plant of the
2 21st century and that's the kind of thought that should be
3 going into this whole problem, because we're going to have
4 serious water problems in this area of the state.
5 MR. BOOGAARD: Your Honor, I guess I've been
6 reprimanded about the attitudes of the City of Chula Vista
7 and I have to clarify that Chula Vista was one of the first
8 to have a water conservation ordinance. We've required
9 double plumbing of all of our devëlopments to the east to
10 handle tertiary water. We would very much like to have a
11 tertiary plant within the territory or sphere of the City of
,
12 Chula Vista and we're not opposed to that. We're opposed to
13 this order because it has consequences of distributing costs
14 differently from that which are set by agreements and by
15 understandings.
16 THE COURT: Well, let me stop you. Two things to
17 say to you. Number one, I hope that by this colloquy, we
18 have alleviated your concern on that score, and number two,
19 I was not aware that I was admonishing the City of Chula
20 Vista.
22
23
MR. WOODRUFF: Thank you, your Honor.
THE COURT: Now, with respect to the order
MR. MEADE: Your Honor, I'm sorry, but if I might,
-21
24 this would probably be the appropriate time. The County's
25 objection to the interim order is exactly the same as

1 expressed by Mr. Boogaard and Mr. McDougal.
2
THE COURT: So, I assume that this colloquy is
3 also satisfactory to you.
4
MR. MEADE: Well, I think the County would be more
5 satisfied if the order stated that the cost -- the
. .
6
allocation of the costs on the North City plant would be in
~
7 accordance with the 1960 agreement or the agreement worked
8 out by the new District, and would not
9
THE COURT: Well, that would require the Court, I
10 think -- that would require the Court, I think, to go in an ~
. .
11 analyze all these agreements. I'd like to stay out of that
12 because I question, frankly -- I suppose it could be argued
-'
13 that the Court has jurisdiction because it's intimately
14 rela=ed to what we're doing, but is it necessary to exercise
15 jurisdiction over -- I think it's enough if the Court just
16
says that these orders are not intended to prejudice any of
'ft'
17 the parties' prior rights under contract, and those rights
18 will be determined by the parties as they may see fit, but
19 that this order will not be intended to drive anybody's
20 contractual rights.
. ·21
22
MR. DRAGNA: In either direction.
THE COURT: In either direction, up or down, left
23 or right.
24
MR. DRAGNA: Well, then, that neutralizes it.
25
MR. WOODRUFF: That's the position of the District .'

as well, your Honor.
THE COURT: I thought that was the position of the
County as well.
MR. MEADE: Well, for the record, we're just
objecting if the City of San Diego wants to use this order
as a basis for saying, "You now have to pay for certain
costs of the North City plant." That's all we're concerned
about.
THE COURT: I think we've passed that.
MR. DRAGNA: Your Honor, the contract means what
the contract means and we ,don't know what that means yet.'
At some point, if there is ever a dispute, that would'be
litigated, and one of the issues litigated would be, what
are the impacts of all the prior orders from the very
beginning of time on those various contracts. I think the
Court is correct in saying, "I don't want a part of it."
THE COURT: Well, furthennore, the Court is saying
that it did not -- it did not have any intent when it
entered all these orders that you're speaking of -- the
Court had no intention of attempting to influence or dictate
the contractual rights that were already in place. I wasn't
even aware of them. For all these orders, I wasn't even
~
.
aware of it.
MR. BOQGAARD: That puts it back at issue again,
your Honor, that we're at risk by this order and need to

1 debate its merits of including it. Because the City
2 is -- as to non-member cities like Chula Vista and anyone
3 else who falls out, and there's a year back-out provision in
4 the contracts, the City of San Diego will then use this
5 order to assert the right to charge for water reclamation
6 because of the applicable rules, regulations and laws.
7
THE COURT: Well, no, their rights to
contributions from member agencies is going to have to
d
8
9 depend on other contracts that are in place, not on the
10 order of this Court.
11
. .
MR. BOOGAARD:That's all we needed, your Honor.

--
MR. DRAGNA: Your Honor, ju~t for clarification,
13 because we're litigating this outside the forum in which
14 it'z going to be litigated __
15
16 it.
THE COURT: No, no, you're not. You're mediating
17
MR. DRAGNA: The contracts have language that may
18 or may not be interpreted that gives import to prior orders.
19 We understand the Court is making clear that you don't
20 intend that this order is to prejudice any party's position
21 in either direction.
22
THE COURT: Nor any of the orders that the Court
23 has heretofore --
24
MR. DRAGNA: And that is not to say that any party
25 here may not argue as an interpretational point under those
EXHIBIT A

28
1 contracts that those orders mean or mean not something.
2 Every party is free to take whatever position they take at
3 the time those contracts are litigated. That's all we're
4 saying. We don't have a substantive position what these
5 orders -- we just want the record to be clear that the
6 contract and the scope of the contract would be interpreted
7 in another forum. We don't have to address the issue of
8 those contracts.
9
MR. BOOGAARD: Your Hoñor, now, we're not only
10 going to have to interpret an ambiguously worded contract,
11 we're now going to have ,to interpret what this colloquy'
12
.'
13
meant when that matter gets litigated.
MR. DRAGNA: That's exactly the point, your Honor.
14 These order should be neutral. This order should be neutral
15 as to any position that's yet to be litigated.
16
MR. BOOGAARD: It can't remain neutral.
17
18
THE COURT: No, I don't exactly regard it as
neutral. All I view here is that the order is not intended
~
19 to alter or amend any existing contract and, furthermore,
20 that whatever rights the parties have in their contract
21 should be unaffected by the order. If the contract, for
22 example, provides right in it that any order of the court
23 shall be incorporated into the contract, then that's what
24 the contract says.
25
MR. DRAGNA: Exactly. That's my point, your
:O'HIBIT A
_. 1\
;2CJ ~ ;Z if
Echo Reporting, Inc.
(619) 453-3325
29
1 Honor. If the contract says that any order of the District
2 Court amends the contract or that's what it's found to mean,
3 then notwithstanding the Court's expression of intent,
4 that's the impact of the order.
5 THE COURT: Then, it may very well happen'that as
6
a matter of the contract's interpretation, the order takes
on a particular significance, but that wouldn't be because
~
7
8 of my order. It would be because of the contract. All I'm
9 saying is I'm not going to draft an order which will attempt
10 to dictate the rights of anyo~e contractually -- that
11 doesn't have to the rights from the contract.
12
"
All right, now, here's what I would propose. I
13 told you I would be pleased to hear all of the parties and
14 intervenors this afternoon if they want to address any other
15 points on this problem of coming up with an order. Now, the
16 order -- I said in my prior order, the one that was entered
17 on April 29th -- the Court did enumerate things that the
18 order should cover. For example, the order, which would
19 provide that the City shall present, on or before
20 January 19, 1995, a contingency plan for full compliance
21 with secondary treatment standards in the even they are
22 unable to obtain exemption from the Clean Water Act. Of
23 course, if they do obtain exemption, thèn they're going to
24 have to present a contingency plan for full compliance with
25 whatever it is that they have to comply with.

Federal District Court Judge
U.S. Courthouse Building
940 Front Street
San Diego, CA 92189
Re: U.S. v. city of San Dieao
civil No. 88-1101-B
Dear Judge Brewster:
Bruce Boogaard, city Attorney for the City of Chula vista
has asked that I write this letter in SUDDort of the proposed
order language submitted by Deputy County Counsel Mark Mead. Mr.
Boogaard is out of town on vacation, and has asked me to write
this letter as his co-counsel for the City of Chula vista which
has court-approved status as an amicus in the case.
Specifically, Mr. Boogaard asked that I call the Court's
attention to the following points which are a brief summary of
the City of Chula Vista's position. We would be happy to provide
the Court with more information on any of these points at the
appropriate time.
1. Chula Vista does not object to the inclusion of the
North city Plant in the list of facilities to be constructed by
the city of San Diego, with this list to be "approved" by the
Court, as long as the Court's approval thereof does not affect
the cost distribution rights of Chula Vista under its existing
Metro contract with the City of San Diego, meaning that this
Court's order is not construed as an "applicable law, rule, or
regulation" under the Metro Agreement such as to require Chula
vista to participate in the costs of the plant.
2. Requiring the City of San Diego to build the North City
Reclamation Plant by Court Order would be inappropriate since the
Clean Water Act and the pending litigation do not confer
jurisdiction on the Court to order reclamation, even though the
Court and the parties recognize that reclamation is desireable.
Since the city of San Diego has already let most of the contracts
c2,)-j
·
A $
~~ k
~ ~
~.,!~?
The Honorable Rudi M. Brewster
July 14, 1994
Page 2
for the plant it is clear that the city will pay for and build
the plant with or without the Court Order. And, the issue of who
pays for the North city Plant should be left for dEtermination on
another day.
-
3. Chula vista supports water reclamation. It is one of
the few cities to have required double piping in all new
developments to accomodate reclamation, and Chula vista has an
agressive water reclamation program in other respects which it
would be happy to explain to the Court at the appropriate time.
Chula vista believes that water reclamation can be achieved in
the South Bay area where it can be used to the advantage of Chula
vista residents at less cost than the North City Plant and,
therefore, at this point must preserve its right not to be forced
to participate in the cost of the North city Plant. Chula vista
is actively studying the option of building its own reclamation
plant as an alternative.
4. Chula vista withdrew from the SDAWWA after careful
consideration because there was no benefit to remaining a member.
The MOU proposed as a condition of continuing membership would
have abrogated Chula vista's Metro contract and would have
imposed what Chula vista believes are unfair cost sharing
provisions. Notwithstanding, Chula vista is constantly re-
evaluating and reviewing its position, and will undertake to
rejoin the agency if it is determined to be economically feasible
for Chula vista ratepayers. Because the deadline for withdrawal
was June 30, 1994, Chula vista felt it necessary to withdraw so
as not to lose its withdrawal right, keeping open the option of
rejoining in the future.
5. Chula vista does not believe there needs to be a
continuation of the prior Court Order because that prior order
was designed to maintain the status quo under the Consent Decree
pending court action thereon. Because the Consent Decree has
been disbanded there is no longer a reason to maintain that
status quo thereunder.
6. The proposed language suggested in Mr. Mead's brief,
and the reasons therein stated in support, are endorsed by Chula
vista and are consistent with this Court's oral statements at the
last hearing as reflected in the transcript.

CHILDREN'S SAFE HAVENS
TO:
SUBJECT:
In the State of the City speech eariier this year, I proposed directing our staff to work with Councilman
Fox's Partnership of Faith to develop "Children's Safe Havens" in Chula Vista.
The proposal is prompted by concerns for the ever-decreasing safety of children in a society permeated
by substance abuse, domestic violence, gangs, etc. As I pointed out in the State of the City speech,
California consistently gets failing marks from virtually every children's advocacy organization that looks
at our state's record on protecting the safety of our children.
A Children's Safe Haven would be a physical facility - I envision churches volunteering facilities for this
purpose - which would be open on some regular basis outside of school hours to any child who was
afraid to be on the streets or at home for any reason.
Trained counselors or other appropriate social workers or volunteers would be available on a telephone
stand-by basis to work with children in need and to serve as liaison to appropriate City staff (police, Parks
and Recreation, etc.).
I will be asking Council tonight to give formal direction to the City Manager to have our staff seek and
work with any church or other organization in our community that would be interested in developing such
a program, and to help coordinate the availability of facilities with counseling and other human resources
in our community (e.g., South Bay Community Services, YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, etc.). Those churches
which have stepped forward to take part in the Partnership of Faith would appear to me to be logically
the first place to go, but any facility willing and able to open its doors as a safe haven should be
considered.
It is my hope that this program will enhance the safety and well being of children in our community and
may serve as a model elsewhere. Thank you for your positive consideration.

AGREEMENT WITH JOELEN ENTERPRISES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AGENCY PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 760 BROADWAY--As part of the Auto Park project the Agency acquired the Fuller Ford and
Southbay Chevrolet dealership sites on Broadway. Joelen Enterprises propose to develop the portion of the Fuller
Ford site on the west side of Broadway with approximately 38 business homes. Staff desires to enter into a Semi-
Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Joelen Enterprises for six mo.nths in order to work out details of this unique
project which is a departure from typical strip commercial development along Broadway. Staff recommends
approval of the resolution. (Community Development Director)
Member/Council Member Rindone commented this was an exciting, new proposal. Both Josef and Lenore Citron
of Joelen Enterprises, and staff were to be congratulated for exploring the businesshome concept.
Member/Council Member Moore thought this an innovative mixed-use concept. If there were a need for a second
six -month negotiating period extension that should be brought back to the Agency for authorization. The intent was
to urge completion of these negotiations during the six-month timeframe for semi-exclusive negotiations.
Chairman/Mayor Nader stated if Agency/Council Members agreed with that provision it would be incorporated
without objection and the resolution amended.
Member/Council Member Rindone wanted assurance the applicant concurred with the proposed amendment.
Mr. Josef Citron, the applicant, agreed with Member/Council Member Moore's proposed amendment.

Council decided to give Mr. Reyes an additional three month extension to relocate, did staff anticipate a desire to
have the lease executed as part of that.
Mr. Gustafson replied staff would like to see the lease executed.
Chairman/Mayor Nader suggested any conditions of that sort which staff believed were an important part of the
extension should be placed before the Agency at that meeting. Mr. Reyes should have an opportunity to review
those conditions well in advance of the meeting so that, should the Agency grant such an extension the conditions
would be very clear so there would be no further uúsunderstandings.
Member/Council Member Moore asked staff if Mr. Reyes leased the property as opposed to owning it.
Mr. Gustafson said that was correct.
Member/Council Member Moore asked if the Agency owned the property since July 1993.
Mr. Gustafson replied that was correct also.
Member/Council Member Moore asked if the Agency at that time gave Mr. Reyes one year to relocate.
Mr. Gustafson stated yes.
Member/Council Member Moore asked was the developer promised that property would be ready for grading in
one year's time.
Mr. Gustafson replied that was correct.
Member/Council Member Moore asked if the Agency stated it would assist Mr. Reyes, but did not prouúse him
everything would work well.
Mr. Gustafson pointed out that under Redevelopment Law the Agency was required to assist Mr. Reyes, but not
technically relocate him.
Member/Council Member Moore recapped stating: (I) Mr. Reyes was not in the best position as he was not the
owner of the property; (2) Mr. Reyes was leasing from the Agency; (3) Mr. Reyes had a year to move and had not
done so; and (4) the developer was ready to grade the property. Whatever the Agency now decided to do was pretty
much at the developer's mercy.. However, staff was to intercede with the developer to ascertain if there was any
extra time which could be squeezed from the developer's time schedule for development.
Mr. Gustafson pointed out the developer had complained they would like that structure removed as they have use
for the property. The Agency did not technically have an agreement with the developer which stated the property
would be available to them at any particular time. It was not part of the Disposition and Development Agreement.
It was an understanding the developer had when Council extended Mr. Reyes' tenancy for 12 months.
Member/Council Member Moore noted Mr. Reyes had to have made a serious effort to relocate.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked the minutes of the July 1993 meeting accompany the staff report.
Member/Council Member Moore stated a tenant had certain rights and asked what those rights were.
Mr. Gustafson said Mr. Reyes had the right to technical assistance to get his business relocated. The Agency
needed to show him comparable properties.

Member/Council Member Moore asked were there any monetary value to relocating a tenant.
Mr. Gustafson replied that was rather complicated. It would depend on the value the tenant had on the property--the
fixtures and equipment, and whether the tenant had any leasehold bonus value. The Agency's experts have
determined Mr. Reyes does not have any leasehold bonus value. The principal compensation Mr. Reyes could look
to was Goodwill in case he should suffer a business loss when he was relocated.
Member/Council Member Moore asked if both parties understood that.
Mr. Gustafson said yes, but staff has had trouble calculating what that Goodwill might be as Mr. Reyes had not
relocated. A Goodwill amount could only be posited. There was nothing finite as Mr. Reyes had not yet relocated
and it could not be measured how well Mr. Reyes would do as opposed to how well he did at the previous property.
Staff has had difficulty getting some business tax numbers from Mr. Reyes.
Member/Council Member Moore asked if Mr. Reyes was aware of that.
Mr. Gustafson replied he and Mr. Reyes had a discussion on that subject this evening.
Mr. Reyes said staff had his tax reports for almost two months now. There was confusion on the numbers but they
were being straightened out. He gave those papers to his attorney and his attorney then gave them to the Agency's
attorney.
Chairman/Mayor Nader pointed out that agendizing the item for the August 2 meeting gave Mr. Reyes mOre time
to work something out with staff in terms of what the final extension should be.
Mr. Reyes stated he was Dever opposed to being relocated. He had found properties he liked but could not relocate
to them.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked why it was not possible to relocate to the properties he was interested in.
Mr. Reyes replied the type of business he had required it not be near residential, churches, or schools.
VOTE ON MOTION: Passed, 5...

Community Developer Director Salomone informed Agency the negotiators had developed a draft of the
Development Agreement as well as a Pre-construction Phasing Plan. Weekly meetings had been held with the
developer, William Barkett, and steady progress had been made to this point. Staff believed it needed another 90
days, or perhaps more, to finalize the Development Agreement. Staff would like to diligeDtly pursue that. The staff
report addressed several items--Nature Center funding, financial disclosure items typical to a Development
Agreement, and evidence of qnalified resort operators--which remained unresolved between staff and the developer.
Staff had offered recommendations on those items. The proposed Port District acqnisition of the Shangri-La
property would take a burden off the project and add to the feasibility of the project. That was park land that would
have had to have been developed by the developer. In addition, this developer has agreed to donate, at this time
or a time in the not too distant future, additional acreage adjacent to those properties in order to develop a park or
recreational facility utilizing Port District funds. The appraisal had been completed. A Phase I environmental
analysis had been done and the Phase 2 environmental analysis was expected to be completed by September 1994.
At that time staff would return to Council with a recommendation relative to Port's acquisition.
Mr. Salomone further informed the Agency with respect to the three outstanding items: (I) Nature Center funding.
The issue was initiation of the first payment. Per Council direction that was to occur at issuance of the first Grading
Permit. As negotiations continued, the developer recommended that be moved to the issuance of the first Certificate
of Occupancy. The rationale was the project would then begin to actually generate revenues. Staff was not opposed
to moving the first payment to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. (2) Financial Disclosure of Partners
in the Development. This also was addressed by Council. It was typical in a Development Agreement that
Financial Statements of partners be disclosed at some point--usnally when the Development Agreement was adopted.
The issue was availability of financing which was what the Agency and City were concerned with. Staff felt if it
could prove that financing was available for the project and that the project would be bniIt, then that condition would
be met. (3) Qualified Hotelier Criteria. Staff wanted a qnalified hotelier approved by the Agency. The developer
has requested greater flexibility on the issue. The developer contended there were very qnalified first-class hoteliers
that were not listed as the Top 5 hoteliers in the nation. Staff wanted to work with the developer to establish
objective criteria for each of the hotels within the project. Staff thought with further negotiations with the
developer, Issues (2) and (3) would be resolved.
Member/Council Member Fox wanted to know at what point the Financial Statements would be forthcoming. His
concern was that the Financial Statements showed there was a qnalified developer.
Mr. Salomone responded said the Pre-construction Phasing Plan which had been agreed to provided that that
information would be given to the Agency prior to the Development Agreement being adopted.
Member/Council Member Fox clarified the Financial Statements would come before the Agency prior to
presentation to the Agency of the final Development Agreement.
Mr. Salomone said that was so. It was a point of contention between the developer and staff. Having the
Development Agreement in place would afford the developer the opportunity to market his project and then secure
financing. The developer's contention was he would like to have the Development Agreement in place and then
prove he has the financial ability. Whereas, staff was requesting his joint partners disclose their financial capability
prior to the Development Agreement being adopted.
Peter Watry, 81 Second Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910, speaking on behalf of Crossroads, said any bayfront
project was important to the City. For the protection of the City, it certainly required and called for an outside
financial expert to give the City advise about the feasibility of the project. The last report from Williams
Kuebelbeck was issued about 18 months ago. Things have changed significantly since that time. It would be very
useful and nice for the citizens of Chula Vista, as well as for the Agency's assurance, to have Williams Kuebelbeck
update their Feasibility Study. The plan, compared to 18 months ago, was it more or less feasible. Was it going
to require greater or lesser subsidy. We urge the Agency let Williams Kuebelbeck update their Feasibility Study.
Chairman/Mayor Nader suggested staff discuss the specific items on which it was seeking guidance.
Minutes
July 19, 1994

Mr. Salomone thought staff could be directed to continue negotiations. The one issue which staff would like
direction was with respect to Nature Center funding.
MOTION [Fox/Horton] authorize staff to negotiate such an agreement in accordance with Item 2. on page
8-6, of the staff report.
Text of Item 2, page 8-6 of the staff report, is typed hereinafter in its entirety.
2. Favorably consider the developer's request to postpone the commencement of Nnture Center
payments until the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. The proposed $500,000
annual payments to the Nature Center is a significant expense for the developer and should
most appropriately be timed to coincide with the iniJiation of an income stream from the project.
This project requires an enonnous amount of predevelopment expenditures including $1.5
million in Cultural Arts Center Facilities payments, habiJat miJigalion and public improvements.
Additional expenses levied before development occurs will make it more difficult to get this
project started.
Member/Council Member Moore said he did not want to give something without receiving something in return.
He requested Agency authorize conceptual approval of that particular item.
Chairman/Mayor Nader said one area where the City could get something for agreeing to this proviso would be in
the area of the structuring of the tax rebates/subsidies.
Member/Council Member Riodone thought the motion was out of order. It was his understanding staff was seeking
for the Agency to look at the various different points and then authorize further direction to continue the negotiations
and receive Agency input on at least those three decision points. The entire package needed to be looked at and
reviewed. Cenain conditions should or should not be approved in the preliminary document prior to the Agency
knowing the whole picture.
Member/Council Member Fox understood Member Riodone's concern. There was going to be give and take in the
negotiation process. The Agency was not approving the $500,000 being paid at the issuance of the Certificate of
Occupancy. That would be negotiated. To get the whole picture, it sometimes had to be dealt with piecemeal.
VOTE ON MOTION: Passed 4-0, with Rindone opposed.
Member/Council Member Moore asked if the developer would donate land to make the anticipated Port District
acquisition of the Shangri La property into a larger park area.
Mr. Salomone said staff suggested the Port District take on the burden of developing the park, thereby relieving
the City and the developer of that expense. The developer would donate land (approximately 5 to 6 acres), to make
the size of the park the "right" size according to City standards.
Member/Council Member Moore noted the developer would reduce his cost by not having to develop that portion
as park land.
Mr. Salomone replied at the present time the developer does not have to dedicate any land to park land until he has
a final Development Agreement.
MOTION [Fox/Nader] move for approval of Items 3. and 4., on page 8-6, of staff report.
Text of Items 3. and 4., page 8-6 of the staff report, are typed hereinafter in their eDtirety.
3. Require the developers to provide financial statements of the development entity. This is a
standard Development Agreement requirement and will provide the Agency with infonnalion
concerning the developer's ability to undertake a project of this magniJude.

4. Allow the developer flexibility in identifying operators of hotels and sports facilities subject
to concurrence of the Agency based upon demonstrated experience and financial capability of
selected operators. The staff recommends that objective standards for the operators be included
within the Development Agreement.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked if the motion was intended to include both sentences in Item 4.
Member/Council Member Fox said both sentences.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked what the first sentence meant.
Mr. Salomone replied, typically staff would state one of the Top 5 hoteliers had to build the hotels; otherwise, the
Agency would not approve the Development Agreement. Over the years that had been a proven criteria for first-
class hotels. The developer made a compelling point--there were a great number of first-dass resorts which were
not built by the Top 5. The developer's resort was tailor-made for a unique type operator.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked if the flexibility staff was seeking was to have an operator that was not on the Top 5
list but nonetheless was comparable an\! met criteria which essential described the operations of those Top 5.
Mr. Salomone replied that was correct, though it was a departure from the standard Development Agreement.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked who would determine, and at what point, whether the proposed operator met those
criteria.
Mr. Salomone said the Agency would have unfettered discretion. Staff would work with the developer in
developiug that objective criteria.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked once the standards are developed and in the Development Agreement, does the
developer need to come forward with the specific operator before or after rights vest under the Development
Agreement.
Mr. Salomone said before.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked if the Agency then made the decision whether the operator met the criteria.
Mr. Salomone said that was right.
VOTE ON MOTION: Passed 5-0.
Member/Council Member Fox asked staff to restate the estimate on how long it would take to reach a final
Development Agreement.
Mr. Salomone replied staff thought 90 days was reasonable for a final Development Agreement. Staff had the draft
Development Agreement, but because of a number of blanks it was not included with the staff report.
Member/Council Member Fox asked if the Agency was to agree with staff recommendation, Item I, page 8-6 of
the staff report, for the three months to complete the Development Agreement, would staff return in the interim with
an additional status report on the negotiations prior to the end of the 90 day period. His concern was there be no
contested negotiating points remaining at the end of the 90 days.
Mr. Salomone stated staff would be happy to report back to the Agency in 60-days.
Minutes
July 19, 1994
Page 9
Member/Council Member Fox preferred not to have just one report due in three months.
MOTION [FoxlNader] accept staff recommendation (Item 1., page 8-6 of staff report) provided the Agency
receives a status report within 60 days as well.
Text of Item I, page 8-6 of the staff report, is typed hereinafter in its entirety.
Striff to conJinue to refine and complete the Pre-Construction Phasing Plan and Develapment
Agreement and report back to the Council(" within three months. [.. added text.]
Member/Council Member Rindone asked why a status report of a status report was being requested.
Member/Council Member Fox said staff had indicated the goal was to reach conclusion and actually have the
Development Agreement within three months. He wanted to know progress was being made so that in three
month's time staff was DOt coming back to the Agency with more contested points. If the goal was to have the
Development Agreement within three months, then should any points hinder that goal, then let the Agency know
at the end of the 60-day period.
Member/Council Member Rindone understood a status report was being requested within 60 days.
Member/Council Member Fox added, and hopefully a Development Agreement at the end of three months.
VOTE ON MOTION: Passed 5-0.
Member/Council Member Rindone, referring to Item E. Developer Construction Obligations, page 8-3, staff report.
It stated The Development Agreement will require the Developer to comply with the Pre-construction Phasing Plan
or the Agreement will be subject to termination. It then stated, The Agreement does not require the Developer to
construct the public or private improvements on the Bayfront. Why would the Agency do that?
Mr. Salomone noted the structure of a Development Agreement was to provide incentives and entitlements and to
take those entitlements away should the developer DOt perform. A certain amount of flexibility had to be inherent
in the Agreement. The City could require this developer to perform but, in many ways, that would inhibit the
developer's ability to get financial partners or parcel off sections of the project to other entities. The Development
Agreement was not personal to this developer; rather, it was vested with entitlements and financial incentives that
should the developer not perform the entitlements and financial incentives go away.
Member/Council Member Rindone expressed concern the City would represent it had gone through the entire
process and then did not have a provision that the public entities would even have to be built.
Mr. Salomone pointed out the City would do everything it could to enable a project be built. The City did not
require a developer to build the project if he did not have the ability to get financing or the ability to build the
project.
Member/Council Member Rindone asked if Phase I was permitted to go forward, could DOt the City not place the
public amenities within Phase I.
Mr. Salomone said yes the City could and that was part of the Phasing Plan adopted in the Specific Plan of the
Local Coastal Plan.
Member/Council Member Rindone asked what was in Phase I of the public amenities.
Mr. Salomone replied all parks, streets, bridges, almost every public improvement within the project. These were
specifically required of this developer but the City could not enforce that reqnirement should the developer not have
the ability to do the project.
Minutes
July 19, 1994
Page 10
Member/Council Member Rindone understood that but asked if the project were to be bnilt it was essential that the
public amenities, including the infrastructure, was built in Phase I. He asked if he had the assurance that was
included.
Mr. Salomone said he did as it was included in the Phasing Plan and was included in the Specific Plan of the Local
Coastal Plan. Those public amenities will be built in Phase I.
Member/Council Member Rindone said he did not have a problem with what staff was saying. Was it correct to
say that if the developer did not get financing to be able to construct all of what was targeted for the first phase,
then construction would not begin.
Mr. Salomone replied that was correct.
Member/Council Member Rindone stated he did DOt have a problem with that. Where he had the problem was if
construction began, it has been singled out that the public amenities not be included. He asked for clarification.
Mr. Salomone stated the issue was not whether it was public or private amenities. The City was not reqniring
development, as it was a requirement that the City could not enforce. The City could not demand--if the developer
did not have financing nor the ability--to require the developer to build. The City could do everything but that.
That was how every Development Agreement was structured. It does not mean the City would relieve the developer
of building any of the public improvements or that the City would reduce any of the private improvements.
Member/Council Member Rindone said he wanted to assure the public amenities were built in the first phase should
the first phase be funded.
Mr. Salomone said they would. The Pennits are conditioned upon those public improvements.
Chairman/Mayor Nader inquired about the agreement for Cultural Arts Facility funding.
Mr. Salomone noted Council directed staff on that issue. The developer would pay $1.5 million up-front and would
guarantee up to $7.5 million on a match basis. There would be a guarantee of $7.5 million by this developer.
Chairman/Mayor Nader asked if that was reflected in the Development Agreement.
Mr. Salomone stated that was an item which had been resolved.
ChainnanJMayor Nader asked what was contained in Phase I versns future phases. The City does not want to have
a situation where the phasing was such that housing could be built and that would be the end of the project. Does
statI feel comfortable that was covered and what was the mechanism by which it was covered.
Mr. Salomone responded both the Specific Plan and the Local Coastal Plan as well as the Phasing Plan and the
Development Agreement reqnired that the core Phase I include all public amenities and 50 percent of the central
business at the same time 25 percent of the residential was being bnilt. No more than 25 percent of the residential
could be built until all amenities were built.
ChainnanJMayor Nader stated that was certaiuly progress.
Member/Council Member Rindone asked if the Development Agreement was exclusive. Should there be a change
of developers, was it ouly with this developer these agreements had been reached.
Mr. Salomone stated that was correct.

ChairrnanJMayor Nader seeked clarification as he had a different understanding. Was staff saying if the
Developntent Agreement was ultimately approved that it would be nontransferable. If Mr. Barkett had another
developer he wanted to bring in or sell some of his interest to, he could not do that.
Mr. Salomone pointed out the City had developed some criteria for transferability which would be contained in the
Development Agreement. It was a point, that once again, the City retained unfettered discretion to approve the
transfer of that property when the Development Agreement was adopted.
