RESOLUTION NO. 2006-033
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA AUTHORIZING A REQUEST BE MADE TO
THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT THAT
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED
PORT DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA BE
AMENDED TO REALLOCATE $1,715,435 AMONG
TIDELANDS PROJECTS
WHEREAS, the San Diego Unified Port District (Port District) and the City of Chula
Vista entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 1996 that provided
approximately $14.4 million in Port District capital improvement funds for tidelands projects
within Chula Vista; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of the MOU, several projects have been completed and a
portion of the funds have been expended; and
WHEREAS, in 2004, the Port Board and the City of Chula Vista approved Amendment
No. 1 to the MOU (the Amendment), which reallocated approximately $13 million in remaining
funds through Fiscal Year 2007 for tidelands projects in the City of Chula Vista; and
WHEREAS, the Amendment contemplates changes to tideland project priorities and the
potential need for fund reallocations resulting in revisions to the Tidelands MOU Projects for
Chula Vista, Fiscal Years 2005 through 2007 (Project List); and
WHEREAS, the Amendment allocates approximately $1.7 million in MOU tidelands
project funding for purposes of a loan to the Redevelopment Agency, consistent with the
Relocation Agreement entered into in 1999 by the City of Chula Vista, the Agency, the Port
District and Goodrich Aerostructures Group, requiring that the Agency provide financial
assistance to Goodrich in connection with the relocation of Goodrich's facilities from its prior
campus to its current consolidated campus within the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area; and
WHEREAS, in November 2005, the Agency authorized the appropriation of funds for the
relocation installment payments due Goodrich through January 2006. The remaining Agency
installment payments will be made annually through 2015. As a result, a loan of Port District
MOU source funds to the Agency is no longer contemplated, thereby affording the opportunity
to re-designate $1,715,435 to other Chula Vista tideland projects; and
WHEREAS, several projects, including the completion of the Chula Vista Bayfront
Master Plan (CVBMP), as well as the preparation of the environmental impact report for the
CVBMP, and the demolition of the South Campus building, are ideally positioned for
redistribution of these available MOU funds; and
Resolution No. 2006-033

WHEREAS, while the Amendment designates approximately $6.3 million to demolish
the South Campus buildings, the actual total cost of demolishing the buildings has not yet been
fully identified. Demolition of the South Campus is key to the revitalization of the Bayfront.
Removal of the vacant buildings south of H Street is a critical path component for the
remediation of hazardous materials, and for the extension of H Street westerly from Bay
Boulevard. The South Campus Building Demolition project would be well-served by the
reallocation of$I,314,435 in funds currently designated for the Loan to the Agency; and
WHEREAS, the City has agreed to contribute 37.5 percent to fund costs associated with
the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan and City staff estimates that an additional $400,000
contribution from the City will be necessary to complete the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista authorizes a request to the San Diego Unified Port District to amend the Chula Vista
Tidelands MOU Amendment to reallocate $1,715,435 in funding from the "Loan to the
Redevelopment Agency" project to the following Tidelands projects:
$400,000 to the Bayfront Master Plan, and $1,315,435 to South Campus Building
Demolition.
