REGARDING POLICE Association stated they reached an impasse in the negotia-
ASSOCIATION REQUEST tions and requested that the City Council consider granting
them a 2% at 50 years retirement package.

tions and request to resume the negotiations in the hope

INSURANCE BudgDt request: $249,590
ACTIVITY 700 City Manager recommendation: $249,590
City Manager Cole explained that $200,000 is included in
this budget to pay premiums.
Gordon Beamer
Risk Management Consultant Mr. Beamer said he reviewed the quotations from the four
firms. Chula Vista, along with the other cities in the
County, are involved in a study on how it can best do risk
management and become self-insured. His firm is involved
in this study. Mr. Beamer remarked that they have done a
"self-insurance capability study" looking at Chula Vista's
budget for the past three years and the proposed budget for
the coming year. It is their opinion that Chula Vista has
a self-insurance capability of between $200,000 and
$250,000 ~ this is an amount for losses that are not
predictable.
Adjourned Regular Meeting ~2- June 6, 1977
Mr. Beamer added that it would be in the interest of the
City to take the figure offered by Creaser Price Insurance
Agency: the $100,000 per occurrence - $400,000 annual
aggregate figure which totals $176,650 for the year. This
is based on the fact that the City is self-insuring
$100~000 for each accident that might happen and the fact
that the present losses do not come anywhere near that.
In response to Council's question, Mr. Beamer explained
~hat would happen in the event of a magnitude of losses
~paraplegics).
City Manager Cole agreed to the recommendation made by
Mr. Beamer. Assistant City Manager Asmus asked that the
budgeted request ($249,590) be left in the account and in
the final budget, the staff will transfer the difference
between $176,650 and the $200,000 in reserves to increase
the reserve account.
Director of Finance Grant explained that the reserve now
holds $50,000 and $50,000 will be transferred prior to
July 1. ?he difference in the budgeted request will add
another approximate $23,000 to the account.
Mr. Beamer remarked that the City could build up this
reserve to $200,000. He added that the insurance industry
is not responsive to public agency liability problems -
they are in the business of making money - their net re-
sources are down and they are being very restrictive as to
what they will offer.
Motion to approve It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman
Activity 700 Cox and unanimously carried that Activity 700 be approved
as recommended by the City Manager.

nities. Staff salaries are budgeted at $8,270 under
Account 5298.
Councilman Egdahl discussed the need to offer employment
to the senior citizens.
Director of Finance Grant commented on the liability factor
in hiring the elderly because of the frequency of accidents.
Motion for staff It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman

Manager.
Adjourned Regular Meeting -3- June 6, 1977
Discussion of motion Councilman Egdahl noted that the total of this account is
$16,910 which has grown considerably in the last three

was from Block Grant funds.
Assistant City Manager Asmus noted that just the rent and
utilities were funded by Block Grant funds: $7,S00.
There is another $10,000 funded by CETA which makes the
total cost of ~[~ l~rc~gr~$26,910.
Councilman Scott spoke against the motion indicating there
must be some fiscal restraints and responsibilities - that
the City cannot afford all these programs. Councilman
Scott remarked that this type ~f s~rvic~eshould be one funded

tailing the operating budget and the programs offered.

and Southwestern College. Councilman Hobel discussed the
in-kind services given this program by the Parks and Recrea-
tion department.
Ms. Allen noted that the three schools involved in Chula
Vista were Otay, Mueller and Harborside. In answer to
Councilman Egdahl's query, Ms. Allen answered that the

Councilman Scott felt that the County should be the lead
agency in this program and not the City.

reviewed the Sunday opening of t the librar~y giving two
alternatives for opening the library from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Alternate 1 would cost $14,820 and Alternate 2 which pro-
poses the closing of the library on Thursdays in lieu of

Ms. Patsy Rowe,Senior Librarian, and Larry Wittenberg,
Deputy City Manager, answered the Council's questions
pertaining to the hours of operation, other libraries

and the employees that would operate this program.
Motion to fund program It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded by Mayor
Hyde that Alternate 1 be approved directing staff to place
$14,820 in the appropriate accounts of the budget.
Speaking against motion Councilman Scott discussed the cost of the library
($800,000 a year) and felt there should be a "trade-off"
if the Council desired to open the library on Sundays.
He felt Proposal 2 would be a better option, adding that
the program will become a very popular one and next year,
the amount requested will be much higher.
City Manager Cole indicated that this is a relatively small
amount of money for a good trial for this program.
Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Hobel, Hyde, Egdahl, Cox
Noes: Councilman Scott
Absent: None
SALVATION ARMY Budget request: $4,600
Mrs. Debbie Swartfager, Administrative Analyst, explained
that in March 1977, the County granted $26,000 for this
program for 18 weeks. The start-up cost was $2,700
(included in the total). At that time, the County advised
the Salvation Army that $61,000 was affirmed for their
program (this was also indicated in November of last year).
The Salvation Army, however, still submitted a budget that
was over $65,000 stating they could not operate it for
$61,000. The County chose the Salvation Army for the
primary agent for the contract based on the criteria that
they would operate the program for $61,000.
Mrs. Swartfager reported that 10% or $6,100 of this money
goes to their regional office. The Salvation Army operates
three programs in San Diego County: E1 Cajon, San Diego
and Chula Vista which amounts to $20,000 of grant money
that does not stay in this area.
The 10% cost budget was detailed. Mrs. Swartfager noted
that while other programs in the County service 95% of
the people from their target areas, Chula Vista services
approximately 75%. The Social Service Aid position salary
which previously served the nutrition program in Chula
Vista was transferred to the new Youth Program.
Leland Lescano Mr. Lescano introduced Ed Nelson, Professional Services
Staff Assistant Supervisor for Senior Nutrition Program, who detailed the
Salvation Army social services being provided by this grant.
John Cheydleur, Mr. C~eydleur reviewed the history on how the nutrition
Director of Bureau of program came into being. He noted the request made to the
Social Services for County (~65~000) and that budgeted ($61~000) and the shift
the County Salvation of the Social Service Aid position. In answer to Council-
Army man Egdahl's question, Mr. Cheydleur stated that the
regional center of the Salvation Army is located at Rancho
Palo Verdes to which 10% of the funds must be paid.
Adjourned Regular Meeting 75- June 6, 1977
Mr. Cheydleur reviewed tke cost of the program and the
possible cuts that can be made to meet the criteria set
up by the County at the cost of $61,000.
Recess for dinner A recess was called at 6:15 p.m. and the meeting reconvened
at 7:03 p.m.
Councilman Hobel said he was troubled with the fact that
10% of the grant money must leave the area and go to the
regional center~ the justification for the nutritional
program resulting in having to start a Youth Program and
the transfer of the salary of the Social Service Aid
position.
Motion for reconsideration It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded by Council-
for financial assistance man Scott that the motion to fund Salvation Army ($4,600)
be reconsidered.
Discussion of motion Mr. Jim Biddle, member of the Salvation Army Advisory
Board, explained that the requested $4,600 is a one-time
request not to be made again next year or any subsequent
year.
Motion carried The motion to reconsider carried unanimously.
Motion not to fund It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by Councilman
Scott and unanimously carried that the City not appropriate
the funds as requested by the Salvation Army nutrition
program.
SWEETWATER UNION HIGH Budget request: $5,000
SCHOOL DISTRICT -- City Manager recommendation: Raise the price of meals to
DEL R£Y NUTRITIONAL $1.00 so that the City would not be involved
PROGRAM in the cost of program
Mr. Ralph Skiles, Assistant Superintendent for the Sweet-
water Union High School District, explained that the
program is an instructional one which trains students for
employment in food service occupations. At the present
time, the program serves meals to an average of 120 senior
citizens each school day. The school is trying to keep
the price of the meal at 756; however, they can maintain
the program financially if they raised the price to $1.00.
Mr. Skiles indicated they will continue to seek outside
funding - none has been sought to date. The Board of
Trustees of the School District has determined that they
would not bear the cost of this program - they feel their
basic function is education and to support an instructional
program is one thing -- but to put money into food service
would not be an appropriate use of school district funds.
Motion to approve $3,000 It was moved by Mayor Ilyde and seconded by Councilman Hobel
that the City continue to fund the program at the level it
was funded last year - to-wit, $3,000.
Discussion of motion Councilman Egdahl said he was against the program because
it is an educational program of the school district. He
is against the philosophy of ha~i~g the City fund a program
which provides meals for senior citizens. He proposed that
the City become advocates for the full support of the pro-
gram ~ $5,000 - with the County Board of Supervisors which
he feels is the proper place for Human Care services.
