The preliminary budget allocated $437,000 from Revenue Sharing for various capital improve- ment projects, and one additional project: Claire/Whitney Storm Drain Project should be funded from Revenue Sharing since Public Works Employment Act funds will not be avail- able for this project - $90,100.

The owner has agreed to donate the building to the organization when the property is sold.

(Councilman Egdahl arrived at this time - 7:30 p.m.) City Manager's comments City Manager Cole discussed the public hearings held under the provision of the Revenue Sharing program, noting that this is one part of the total budget picture.

An Executive Session will be requested during the next agenda item to discuss the personnel negotiations. City Council Meeting ~3~ June 21, 1977 INTRODUCTION OF GUEST Mayor Hyde introduced Mr. Ernie Revera who just arrived at the meeting. Mr. Revcra is a member of the Board of Direc- tors of the Chamber of Commerce and a sales representative of Western Airlines. Jerry Prior Mr. Prior requested the amount of $325,000 to be set aside 230 Third Avenue for the improvements of Third Avenue between "E" and "F" Chula Vista Streets (Downtown Redevelopment District). The funds were previously requested under the Community Block Grant. Mr. Prior said there was the possibility that the money could be given as a form of loan to the Redevelopment District and then paid back through tax increment bonds. Paul Desrochers, Mr. Desrochers said that there was no revenues being gen- Director of erated in the Redevelopment project to float a tax incre- Community Development merit bond issue. One of the things staff is looking at in regard to the Collins project is Parking Revenue bonds which would be paid from the tax increment that would come about by the development. At this time, they do not expect more than $30,000 or $40,000 next year; however, after that time, there would be sufficient tax revenues generated to sustain a "decent" tax allocation bond sale. Bud Wilson, President Mr. Wilson requested assistance for an additional access Board of Trustees to the hospital. This project must be coordinated with the Community Hospital County. City participation is asked for the extension of of Chula Vista Orange Avenue route, extending Brandywine down to Orange Avenue. The project would cost $400,000 for a 24' roadway and 40' of right-of-way. Chula Vista's share would be $100,000; the County's share would be $300,000. City Manager Cole commented that the City already has the right-of-way on Orange Avenue; however, north of Orange and onto the extension of Brandywine to connect it up with that portion near the hospital would require right-of-way acquisition (unincorporated area). The County has no funds budgeted for this fiscal year. John Crouse, President Mr. Crouse requested the sum of $5,700:$3,500 for the Girls' Club construction of a classroom and $2,200 for material (floor- ing, athletic equipment, projector, etc). Sid Morris Mr. Morris spo~e against giving Revenue Sharing monies to 862 Cedar Avenue private organizations stating it should be used only for Chula Vista those projects that benefit the entire community. Ruth Blank, Director Mrs. Blank asked for $14,660 to carry on the Cardio Pulmo- CPR program nary Resuscitation (CPR) program in the City. Robert Alcaraz, President Mr. Alcaraz said their original request was for $300,000 Starlight Center for an addition to their facility. They have now scaled this down to $163,000 decreasing the size of their addition. Steve Owens, President Mr. Owens spoke in support of Mr. Prior's request for $325,000 Town Centre Business [ to improve Third Avenue in the Downtown Redevelopment area.

Submittal by City Manager Mr. Cole submitted a report entitled, "1977-78 Capital Improvement Program Expenditure Summary" in which he listed the following recommendations for Revenue Sharing monies: Number ' Code Funding Description ·Estimate ·Total Revenue Sharing (RS) RS-4 Orange Ave. R/W Acquisition - Third Avenue to Albany Avenue (Partial funding, see GT-77) lO3,100 RS-6 Storm Drain - Alvarado Place to Channel south of "H" Street lOl,gO0 · RS-7 Concrete Lined Channel south of East Naples Street' and west of Monserate 74,400 RS-§ Storm Drain - Marl Ct. at East Rienstra S:. 14,~00 RS-11 Traffic Signal Installation and Roadway Modifications at Brandywine Ave, & Telegraph Canyon Road 89,000 RS-J3 Fourth Avenue and "H" Street Traffic Signal Modification ' - 55,100 Mr. Cole commented that the Claire/Whitney Storm Drain was listed for allocation under the Public Works Employment funds but put back under Revenue Sharing because there was not much chance of getting the funding under the Grant. The 10%, or $145,000 would be used for capital outlay expenditures which is essentially already in the budget; therefore, it is proposed that the money be transferred into the General Fund. Public Works City Manager Cole explained this Act asking Mr. Larry Employment Act Wittenberg, Deputy City Manager, to comment on the meetings held with the School Districts. Mr. Wittenberg explained that the amount allocated to Chula Vista is $2,283,000. He met with representatives of South- western College and Chula Vista Elementary School District. It was determined that Sweetwater Union High School District would find it difficult to participate in the second round funding since they did no participate in the first round. The negotiating team decided on a three-way split: Chula Vista to get $686,467 for the renovation of the Civic Center and each of the two school districts to get $798,267 for their projects. In answer to the Council's query, Mr. Wittenberg stated that Southwestern College claimed 50.2% of the students enrolled were from Chula Vista. Council discussion ensued on this calculation. 2nd priority funding Director of Public Works Robens remarked that the Claire/ Whitney Storm Drain project ($90,100) was a part of the $220,000 requested for storm drain projects throughout the City - the City's second priority.
