ROLL CALL Councilmen present: Mayor Hyde, Councilmen Hobel, Cox, Scott, Egdahl Councilmen absent: None Staff present: City Manager Cole, Assistant City Manager Asmus, Director of Finance Grant BUS SERVICE OPERATION Budget request: $429,990 ACTIVITY 2350 City Manager recommendation: $430,010 City Manager Cole stated that most of this Activity is funded through LTF (Local Transportation Funds); however, the expected City's General Fund expenditure to support this Activity has essentially doubled - from $29,000 last year to approximately $62,000 this year. Dave Connor Mr. Connor explained the computation of the $62,000 Transit Coordinator figure. Basically, there is a minimum City contribution of $29,280 no matter what the LTF claim is -- the law states the City cannot reduce its contribution. The $62,000 is a conservative estimate of what the regional planning agency will allow in terms of the claim. Mr. Connor added that both the Metropolitan Transit Board and the Comprehensive Planning Organization must act on the claim. The City should hear the results shortly after July. Aztec cost-per-mile In answer to Council's query, Mr. Connor stated that the City is at the 74¢ per mile level with Aztec -- last year, it was 70¢. San Diego Transit's proposal is at $2.01-1/2 per mile which is expected to increase dramatically. The City's contribution for LTF for San Diego Transit is $781.00. The total cost to the City proposed for bus operation for the next fiscal year is $31,000 (approximate). Discussion ensued regarding fare box revenues, UMTA Grant Application, Aztec employees now being unionized, the in- creased costs to the City for bus operations over the past few years, SB325 funds, and the justification for the in- creases in the various accounts of this Activity. Motion to approve It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman Cox and Activity 2350 unanimously carried that Activity 2350 be approved as recom- mended by the City Manager. CITY COUNCIL It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Mayor Hyde ACTIVITY 010S and unanimously carried that Account SS6S be reduced by SS,S00 (Mayor's car which will be purchased from this fis- cal year's budget). Adjourned Regular Meeting -2- June 8, 1977 UTILITY USERS TAX Mayor Hyde reported that the Council had taken previous action setting the tax based on the amount of therms and kilowatts used rather than on the percentage basis. Cap on tax Discussion followed regarding the proposal to set a cap on the two largest users (Rohr and Ratner). Rohr's pay- ment last year ($111,000) was discussed along with Ratner's ($11,000) and the indication was that if there was a property tax equivalent to raise the same amount of utility tax~ Rohr would have had to pay $79,000. Further discussion centered around the staff's recommenda- tion of $991,000 needed in the next budget to be raised from the utility users tax. Motion for tax formula It was moved by Mayor Hyde that the City Council accepts a taxing formula for the utility users tax that would generate roughly $990,000 for the next fiscal year. No second to motion The motion died for lack of second. Motion to accept revenue It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Mayor figure Hyde that the Council accepts the revenue figure on which the budget was projected ($991,000) as the amount to be expected in the utility users tax revenues for the City in 1977-78. Discussion of motion Councilman Scott noted that if the Council accepts this motion and puts a cap on Rohr's contribution (proposed for $75,000), it would leave $40,000 to be raised else- where. The Council discussed other sources of revenue for raising this difference. Councilman Egdahl suggested voting down the motion on the floor and before the Council votes for the amount of revenue expected from utility users tax in 1977-78, it should determine whether or not a cap will be placed on any individual account and how much impact that will have on the projected $991,000 and deduct it. Motion failed The motion failed by a unanimous vote. Motion for cap It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by Councilman Hobel that, at this point, the Council determines that it will set a cap on individual tax payers of the utility users tax of $75,000 for next year -- this is a one time annual thing. Discussion of motion Councilman Scott spoke against the motion commenting that Rohr would pay $79,000 in property taxes which means a $4,000 difference; the difference would have to be picked up by the property taxes; wants to see the actual figures from the staff as to how this will be worked out. Motion amended Mayor Hyde amended his motion to change the annual cap figure from $75,000 to $80,000. Further discussion Councilman Cox said it was difficult for him to accept the of motion cap which will benefit one business in the City of Chula Vista. There are a number of other businesses in Chula Vista that are in the same situation as Rohr where they are paying more in utility tax than a comparable property tax rate.

FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVE- MENT PROGRAM Telegraph Canyon Road Councilman Hobel said he noted that there was only $606,000 funded for this project up to 1982 and felt this was highly deficient. Director of Public Works Robens remarked that the fund includes the storm drain as well as the road construction. He added that the staff found it difficult to project this construction for the future. There was the question of having the City do the construction or wait until the developers come in and do the construction. The most important segment is between 1-805 and Brandywine - that all portions should be constructed next year. Councilman Hobel was assured that the Council can readjust the priorities next year if developments come in during the interim period.
