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.

There is another $10,000 funded by CETA which makes the total cost of ~[~ l~rc~gr~$26,910.

SUNDAY LIBRARY OPENING Budget request: $14,820 - Alternate 1 (10 months) No additional cost - Alternate 2 City Manager Cole submitted a detailed sheet in which he 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 opening it on Sundays would have no additional cost on the City. Adjourned Regular Meeting -4- June 6, 1977 Ms. Patsy Rowe,Senior Librarian, and Larry Wittenberg, Deputy City Manager, answered the Council's questions pertaining to the hours of operation, other libraries opening on Sundays, type of services that would be offered, concurrence by the;~o~sA~o¢i~&on:en~l~e ~, 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.

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.
