CONTRACT WITH AZTEC Director of Public Works Robens submitted the proposed BUS LINES agreement explaining the salient points: (1) the contract is for 21 months from October t, 1978 to June 30, 1980; (2) the bus company will provide four spare units; (3) the City will pay $1.352 per revenue service mile for the fiscal year 1979 - the total miles (estimated) for the nine months is 3S3,650 for a total cost of $478~134; (4) the price for the second year will be based on the work done this year; (5) three adjustments will be made - an addi- tional $0.202/mile for the bus service will be made for the first three months; the average fuel cost for Fiscal Year 1979 is estimated at $0.417 and for Fiscal Year 1980 at $0.442 - any deviation in the cost, either for City or the bus company will make up the difference; the Consumer Price Index for the San Diego area will be used and the contract adjusted at the end of the year based on the inflation factor. At the present time, a 6% inflation factor is built into the contract. Councilman Scott spoke against using the Consumer Price Index noting that most of the factors involved have nothing to do with running a bus company. He felt that direct cosB to the bus lines could be isolated and be a more appropriate index - both to the City and the bus company. Advertising Mr. Robens remarked that the City will have total control over the sale of advertising on the units. It is proposed that the City will contract with someone in the advertising field to handle this program. Adjourned Regular Meeting -2- August 31, 1978 Termination of contract Director of Public Works Robens added that either party. can cancel the agreement for "reaSonable cause" by a . written notice and such cancellation will take effect 60 days from the date of delivery. Leonard Zlotoff, Owner Mr. Zlotoff stated he would agree to working with the staff Aztec Bus Lines to reconsider the Consumer Price Index paragraph and coming up with something more suitable as long as there was no delay in doing so. Councilman Scott indicated that this could be ready for next Tuesday (September 5)~ If it is not' ready by then, the Council can approve the contract and this clause can be filled in at a later date. Motion to bring back It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by COuncilman contract on September 5 Gillow and unanimously carried by those present that this contract (resolution) be brought to the Council meeting of September S, 1978 and that the staff be asked to work together with Aztec for possible revision and a more ap- propriate price index. 3. DISCUSSION OF REPORT OF Mayor Hyde explained that this Committee has submitted a CALLAHAN'S TASK FORCE report on the Mills' Bill (1746); however, the remarks are quite comprehensive that they can be considered applicable to the Kapiloff Bill as well. Seven recommendations are proposed and the Mayor said he would ask for consideration of each recommendation - if no objections are given, the recommendations will be considered tentatively approved. Recommendation No. 1 "No. 1. Any changes to regional planning and implementation responsibilities or powers should occur within the structure of the regional agency Comprehensive Planning Organization (CPO) which is already in place." No objections were stated by the Council to Recommendation No. 1. Recommendation No. 2 "No. 2. The regional agency should do (or review and approve) all planning which affects more than one general purpose jurisdiction." Council discussion Mayor Hyde felt the agency should also consider appeals from actions of various bodies, such as CPO, Port District and Metropolitan Transit Development Board for anything that has regional consequences. Councilman Egdahl stated that the agency should not do all planning that affects more than one general purpose and he would further propose dropping the words "should do" and inserting "continue to". Councilman Scott commented that he would like to see this entire report turned down - to have a County government and "do it right." Acting Director of Planning Williams remarked that both Bills (Mills' and Kapiloff) show a total lack of under- standing of how planning is currently conducted and a total chaos can be caused if a single agency was charged with doing all the planning for the entire County. Further discussion followed regarding the responsibility of the Coastal Commission; staff that would be needed by the agency; the program followed by San Francisco; regional transportation planning; LAFC0 operations; change of wording in No. 2. Adjourned Regular Meeting -3- August 31, 1978 Change in wording The suggested changes to Recommendation No. 2 (with all for No. 2 Councilmen present proposing the changes) were: "No. 2. The regional agency should continue to review all planning which affects more than one general purpose jurisdiction within the guidelines of what is presently being done." Recommendation No. 3 "No. 3. Each action taken by the regional agency which requires implementation should include designation of the agency or agencies directly responsible for such implemen- tation." No objections were voiced by the Council. Recommendation No. 4 "No. 4. Enforcement of implementation and veto power o~er certain special district budgets should rest with local general purpose governments to assure consistency with local general plans." Mayor Hyde remarked that this recommendation was not too clear; what special districts - who makes the decisions? Recommendation No. 5 "No. 5. Local general plans should be consistent with the adopted regional plan. Staff of the regional agency should formalize plan monitoring and review with a regular report to the Regional Board and each member agency. It should then be the responsibility of each Board member and each member agency to officially assure that local plan incon- sistencies or inadequacies are resolved and that specific follow-up is carried out." Council discussion ensued as to what would happened if a local agency does not correct any inconsistencies in their local plan. The Council concurred that the r~commendation was aweak one but did not offer any change in the wording. Councilman Egdahl left the meeting at this time - 5:45 p.m. Regional Plan Acting Director of Planning Willjams said that what is happening here is increasing the ability of the regional planning agency to plan and implement their own plan. The question is whether their plan should be a collage made up of all the cities' plans or should it, in fact, be their plan and sent to the cities for implementation. Councilman Scott again voiced his frustration over the proposed Bills (Mills' and Kapiloff). and the Callahan report. He felt the Council should take a staM and say they do not want to have anything to do with any of it, and not "embrace" the recommendations. CPO meeting on Mayor Hyde stated he must report to CPO on this report September 14, 1978 on the 14th of September. Motion to support It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman Scott the recommendations and unanimously carried by those present that the Council supports the recommendations as a basis for discussion - all the recommendations with the exception of No. 2 that was revised. Included in the motion is that LAFCO should not be absorbed into the regional agency. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Hyde adjourned the meeting at 6:00 p.m. to the meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 5, 1978 beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber, City Hall.
