MOOIFYING SECTION 10.56.040, SCHEOULE XI OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW SHORT.TERM METERED PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIRD AVENUE BETWEEN CENTER STREET AND MADRONA AVENUE RESOLUTION /f{77.s-- APPROVING THIRD AVENUE NEWSSTAND'S REQUEST FOR TWO 30.MINUTE PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF 335 THIRD AVENUE Community Development Dir~O\\: _ 'S. . City Manager Jl\ ~ ~ \ (41!iths Vote: Yes_ No X ) ITEM TITLE: SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: BACKGROUND: The owner of the Third Avenue Newsstand located at 335 Third Avenue has requested that two of the metered, two.hour parking spaces located in front of her business be changed to thirty.minutes each to accommodate "quick turn.over customers". (Copy of letter attached as Exhibit A.I The Downtown Business Association and the Town Centre Project Area Committee have reviewed the request. RECOMMENDATION: That City Council: 1) Place the ordinance modifying Section 10.56.040, Schedule XI of the Municipal Code to allow short- term parking on the east side of Third Avenue between Center Street and Madrona Avenue on first reading; and 2) Adopt the resolution approving Third Avenue Newsstand's request for two 30-minute parking spaces in front of 335 Third Avenue. BOARDSICOMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On September 4, 1997. the Town Centre Project Area Committee voted 4-0 to recommend that the City Council approve two 3D minute parking spaces on Third Avenue in front of 335 Third Avenue. In addition, on August 19, 1997, the Downtown Business Association Board voted to support the applicants request for two 30 minute parking spaces in front of 335 Third Avenue. (Copy of letter attached as Exhibit B.) 0-/ Page 2, Item _ Meeting Date 09-16-97 DISCUSSION: The owner of the Third Avenue Newsstand recently hired G.A. Wright and Associates, a marketing consultant, to identify areas where the business could be improved. Because of the nature of the business, a large percentage of the Newsstand's customers complete their business within a short time frame. The marketing firm identified the need for the Newsstand to have short-term parking spaces in close proximity to accommodate these quick turn-over customers. (Copy of consultant's letter attached as Exhibit C.) There are currently nineteen 2-hour metered parking spaces on the east side of Third Avenue between Center Street and Madrona Avenue and seventy spaces (2, 4, and 10 hour meters) in the public parking lot located in back of the Third Avenue businesses in this block. Third Avenue Newsstand is near the middle of the block. Businesses include several restaurants, a bar, hair stylists, a gift shop and other retail uses and services. The customer base for these uses need, on the most part, longer-term parking. Because of the long-term parking needs of neighboring uses, parking spaces are not regularly available for the short-term users. As indicated in the applicant's correspondence, customers have by-passed her business because of the lack of parking in close proximity of the store. (It also should be noted that the two restaurants located immediately adjacent to the Third Avenue Newsstand do have a small percentage of take-out customers who are "quick turn-over" parking space users that could benefit from the short term spaces requested.) Currently within the Downtown Parking District, there are eleven 30 minute metered on-street parking space in operation. Three of the spaces are located on F Street adjacent to the Chula Vista Pharmacy to accommodate the auxiliary Post Office and outdoor mailbox, two are located at G Street to accommodate Domino's Pizza, and 6 are located on Third Avenue in front of the Nuts over Yogurt shop. All of the 30 minute spaces were established to accommodate "quick turn-over" customers. Staff knows of no significant problem resulting from the existing short-term spaces (most of the short-term spaces have been in existence for over ten years). Traffic Engineering, Police Department, Finance Department, and Community Development staff and the City Attorney's office have reviewed the applicant's request. The Traffic Engineer has suggested that a printed block identifying the two spaces as thirty minutes be placed on the street side of the parking stall to alert drivers that the spaces are short-term before they pull into the space. The Finance Department staff will change the meterheads to allow a maximum of 30 minutes. All businesses located on the east side of Third Avenue between Center Street and Madrona Avenue were sent written notification of the applicant's request and that the City Council would be considering the item on September 16, 1997. ~-;2, Page 3. Item _ Meeting Date 09-16-97 To implement the requested short-term parking, Section 10.56.040, Schedule XI of the Chula Vista Municipal Code must be amended. Schedule XI lists the time elements for meter zones within the Downtown Parking District. The following meter zone is proposed to be added to Schedule XI: Name of Street BeGinninG At EndinG At Side Duration Third Avenue Center Street Madrona Ave East 30 minutes or 2 hours FISCAL IMPACT: It is anticipated that the modifications to the two meterheads and stall painting will cost less than $500. Funds are available in the 1997-98 Downtown Parking District budget. (PS} H:\HOME\COMMDEVISTAFF.REP\09.16.97\shortpkg.113 [September 5,1997 (2:37pm)] &-3 EXHIBIT A Third Avenue Newsstand 335 Third Avenue Chula Vista, California 91910 July 28, 1997 Ms. Pamela Buchan Community Development Department City of Chula Vista 276 4th Avenue Chula Vista, California 91910 42m1 Dear Ms~h~n'~ Per our telephone conversation today I am writing you to request two twenty-minute parking meters in front of my store at 335 Third Avenue to replace the current two hour ones. As we discussed, my newsstand services around 500+ customers a day and most of my customers have a very short length of stay in the store and therefore 20 minutes would be sufficient time for a customer to park shop and return to their car. As you well know from the results of the marketing study done by the City, Downtown shoppers are destination oriented and don't want to park a long distance from their destination. I have been told by numerous customers that there are times that they have wanted to stop but couldn't find convenient parking so they went on to do other things. This phenomenon can be quantified by the fact that while my newspaper sales have gone down on the average of $1,000 a month since Harvey's Bakery has gone out of business, my overall sales have gone up. I attribute this solely to the increased amount of available street parking spaces due to that vacancy. Huddle by the Park is scheduled to open on August 3rd. It is my hope that they will be a great success and draw a great number of people back into the Downtown area. My concern, however, is that with the lack of street parking and the lack of feasibility of a rear entrance for my location, I will lose the increased traffic flow I now enjoy. (Both the Huddle by the Park and the Silver Dollar have easily accessible rear entrances.) I have also retained a Retail Sales, Management, and Marketing Consulting firm to help me better the newsstand in general. One of their concerns was the parking issue as a non user-friendly problem and felt the 20 minute parking spaces would be a great help in alleviating at least the accessibility problem. I am With undertaking this major marketing campaign in early October. Huddle by the Park being in full operation by then, I am &,-f concerned that I will draw a large amount of customers to the newsstand with "no place to go". The 20 minute meters would help keep traffic flowing and help to eliminate that problem. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. I can be reached at 422-1991 if there are any questions or I can be of any assistance to help expedite this matter. Sincerely, Ad~~ Donna Vignapiano Owner &,~~.

This change in my request is made to be in congruence with the recommended length of meter time by the Town Center Project Area Committee and the Downtown Business Association.

Marianne Walsh Senior Marketing Director 951 Old County Road, Suite 366 Belmont, Ca 94002 EXHIBIT C Tuesday,August26,1997 Donna Vigna piano Third Avenue Newsstand 335 Third Ave. Chula Vista, CA 91910 Dear Donna: To follow up our conversations regarding one of the major challenges I see in increasing quick turn foot traffic in your location, I encourage you to look into some positive proactive ways to become more consumer friendly. It was apparent the day I reviewed your store, at our initial meeting, that parking was one of the immediate key issues to store accessibility. This issue is compounded by the fact that your store has no back door access, and by the number of restaurants located on your block. Impact from restaurant businesses close by can 'cut both way's' to many independent retailers, and in particular to a destination location like the Third Avenue Newsstand, that relies on 'quick turn, in and out access'. On a positive note, restaurants draw traffic to the area. The challenge with this traffic, is that their customers have an agenda in mind while patronizing these locations, (such as a business meeting or date), and typically these customers do not 'stroll the block' after their meal. They do however, take up numerous parking spaces, for a minimum of one to two hours to complete their meal. This pattern repeats itself every morning, noon, and night. Which happens to coincide with the natural 'peak hours' in your business. It therefore is only logical to conclude that you are losing volume on a daily basis, because potential customers have no where to park, for a fast in and out purchase, (unless they double park, which I witnessed was a necessity the day of my review), it appears, they drive up, hesitate, and drive on. nhone 650-598-0490 ~ - 6' Marketing tells you that customers will not 'go out of their way' to patronize a business. As a guide to being successful, a business should always have selection, perceived value, and be end user friendly. All this in addition to the usual customer service qualities today's consumer has come to expect. A parking dilemma can affect many businesses downtown in a negative way. If the customers perceive it to be a 'hassle to park downtown', many customers will simply avoid downtown for shopping as a rule. After all, in their mind, it might be easier to "go to the mall". In my opinion, there is a very simple win-win solution to this dilemma. For the convenience of your customers, request a few 'limited parking' spaces be placed in front of your store, and in front of other stores on Third Avenue that face this challenge. This parking arrangement can be easily noted by 'green curbs' and limited timed meters. It will not hurt the restaurant traffic in my opinion, because they all have back door access, with plenty of parking in the rear. Their business is not dependent on high traffic, quick turn sales to survive. Third Avenue Newsstand, as a long time downtown business must have this traffic flow to stay successful. I have had the opportunity to visit many downtown locations in the course of my business. Many downtown areas are suffering to the point that small business owners can no longer survive in their respective markets. However, after reviewing Downtown Chula Vista, I see the possibility of a very positive future. It is openly apparent, that both the merchants and city have put time, money, and effort into Third Avenue. Now the challenge rests with all interested parties to work together to make Downtown Chula Vista a success story, by enticing customers to the area as their preferred destination. Working as a team and easy parking can only enhance this goal. Sincerely, I~ Marianne Walsh c; ~ ( ORDINANCE NO. c?? /c2.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council take a position of "Support" on this proposed initiative. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: BackQlOund. Since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1977, cities, counties and the State have engaged in an on.going battle over the allocation of various streams of revenue, including sales tax. Under the current division of sales tax revenue, 1 % is sent to the point of origin, 4.75% is retained by the State, and the remaining 1.5% is allocated according to formulas pertaining to Proposition 172, the Transportation Development Act, and Realignment for health and social service programs. As property tax revenue has been lost to State takeaways (the mandatory Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund [ERAF] contribution!. cities have begun to call for a more equitable distribution of tax dollars, shifting those revenues closer to the taxpayer so that they can better participate in the decisions on how their dollars are spent. On 10117195 (Resolution 18079), the Chula Vista City Council voted to support Resolution #23, which was introduced by the City of Covina at the League of California Cities' annual conference. The resolution called for a revised division of sales tax revenue, doubling that proportion received by the point of origin. Initially the League voted not to support Resolution #23, believing this would only perpetuate a trend in shifting revenue streams back and forth among jurisdictions and, potentially, open the door to the State taking back this revenue at some future date. The League indicated a preference for initiating ERAF reform. The League position later changed to one of support and the proposal was introduced as SB 1977 (City supported 4111196), carried by Senator Mountjoy. Ultimately, SB 1977 failed on the Senate floor. 7-) Page 2, Item _ Meeting Date 09116/97 In February of this year, Senator Ross Johnson introduced SB 1310 (city supported 4115197) which would allow local jurisdictions to pass an ordinance (subject to a majority vote of the local electorate) to increase that portion of the sales and use tax which remains with that jurisdiction and decrease the State allocation by a like amount. The revised allocation would be phased in over a five year period. Cities would have the opportunity to ask their voters to increase the local percentage of sales tax by as much as 100%. This bill has since stalled in its Senate Policy Committee and thus is considered a two-year bill. This initiative would. Duplicate the intent of SB 1310 and allow individual cities and counties to adopt a local ordinance (subject to majority approval by that agency's voters) which would shift a portion of the current sales and use tax away from the State and allow it to remain with the local jurisdiction. The maximum shift allowed would be 1 % which would be phased in over 5 years. In essence, the local electorate could determine whether their city should receive as much as an additional 1 % of the sales tax at the expense of the State. While ceasing and reversing mandatory ERAF contributions remains a high priority for Chula Vista and other local government agencies, successful passage of either SB 1310 or this initiative would provide cities and counties with an additional bargaining tool in the on-going effort to obtain the Governor's signature on such ERAF reform proposals as AS 1 (City supported 2118/97) FISCAL IMPACT: If approved by voters, the City's Finance Director estimates that this initiative provides Chula Vista with the ability to retain additional sales tax revenue of $2.4 million the first year, growing to $12 million per year in the fifth and subsequent years. This is based on the maximum increase to the City's sales tax allocation. Since this proposal would only shift existing revenue from one level of government to another, there would be no net cost to the taxpayer. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Text of Initiative Measure 2.

Executed this 17th day of October, 1995. 7-/7, COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item No. Date September 16, 1997 (f ITEM TITLE: Report: Termination of the County Household Hazardous Waste Program and Request for Authorization to Negotiate with South Bay Jurisdictions to Develop a Sub-Regional Program Alternative. SUBMITTED BY: Michael T. Meacha Conservation Coordinator 4/5th Vote: Yes_ No X REVIEWED BY, C;~ M""""JG ~ BACKGROUND: The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, (AB 939) requires that every City and County develop and implement a Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE) designed to reduce or divert its annual HHW generation 50% by the year 2000. Jurisdictions are subject to up to $10,000 in civil penalties for failure to develop and make a good faith effort to implement their HHWE. Chula Vista's HHWE is based on a regional program administered by the County and funded through landfill tipping fees paid by generators from all the county's jurisdictions. In May the County of San Diego closed the drop-off facility located at the Otay Landfill, which represented 95 % of Chula Vista's historical participation. On July 17, 1997 the County announced that it would no longer be providing the HHW services funded by landfill tipping fees when divestiture was complete (Attachment A). RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the staff report as submitted and authorize the City Manager to negotiate with neighboring jurisdictions to develop a funding mechanism to continue household hazardous waste collection, drop-off and education activities for Chula Vista residents. BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS: The Resource Conservation Commission will review the staff report at their meeting of September 15, 1997, and a verbal report regarding their recommendation will be made to Council upon request. DISCUSSION: The County of San Diego has used tipping fee surcharges assessed all the jurisdictions and their respective generators to pay the public education, collection and treatment costs for HHW from 1990 to the present. At its peak, that regional program provided fifty-four (54) special one day collection events per year and one permanent drop-off facility (at the Otay Landfill) that was open to County residents, six days a week, at no charge. Together the events and permanent facility provided geographically convenient disposal options for all the County's residents throughout the year. Chula Vista's Historical Participation in the County Sponsored Regional HHW Program The HHWE's developed by a consultant for Chula Vista and the other county jurisdictions describes a developing regional program that would place future emphasis on source reduction, public education, and the development of permanent facilities that would be geographically distributed throughout the County. Strategically locating permanent facilities, with consistent operating hours, is expected to be more convenient for the public. It is also less expensive to handle HHW at permanent facilities than it is at one day events. Since the submittal of the HHWE Chula Vista has applied for, received and executed grants from the state of California for household hazardous waste education and used oil collection and education. Chula Vista was also the first to proP,Q,Sy regional grant applications that have assisted the 0--/ Household Hazardous Waste September 16, 1997 Page 2 development ofHHW facilities in Vista and Poway. During the past six years Chula Vista residents have had the option of; 1) participating in the one day events in neighboring jurisdictions, or 2) taking their HHW directly to the permanent facility that was located at the Otay Landfill (Appropriate Technologies; APTEC). That APTEC facility closed in May of this year and is no longer operational. Subsequently, the County has developed a third option for Chula Vista and other South Bay residents that allows them to take small quantities of HHW to Coronado and larger quantities to Vista facilities. On May 17, 1997, Chula Vista hosted their first HHW event in almost six years. Event participants were limited to recycling oil, paint and antifreeze. Approximately 350 Chula Vista households participated in the event. Chula Vista, will be hosting another HHW event on Saturday, October 18, 1997 from 8:00 a.m. to 1 :00 p.m. that will accept a broad range of HHW. The event is sponsored by the County of San Diego and supported by the Port District and other South Bay cities. Two to three times the number of participants are expected. It is very important to promote the October event because; 1) it may be the last convenient opportunity for Chula Vista residents to safely dispose of hazardous materials generated at their home for sometime, 2) it may be the last time that an event of this type is paid for by the County of San Diego through tipping fees and provided at no direct cost to the City or rate payers, 3) materials that are diverted from the landfill or storm drains reduce the pollution and its effects on the Chula Vista Nature Center, Marinas, Bay Park and local rivers, 4) the HHW events provide opportunities to educate the public and promote source reduction, re-use and future disposal options. County's Termination of the Existin~ HHW Re~ional Pro~ram As the County solid waste program fiscal status came under question in the past few years, tipping fees and the revenue they generate began to fluctuate dramatically. The County began to cut back and HHW special events were reduced in number and scope from (54) fifty-four full collection events accepting all materials, to less than twelve annual events that frequently limit the materials they accept to less expensive recyclable items such as paint, used oil and car batteries. The Solid Waste Task Force's, Citizen's and Technical Advisory Committees met for almost two years to develop recommendations to fund the program and restore service to its intended levels. Those recommendations went to the SANDAG Executive Committee and the County. At a July 29, 1997 meeting the County announced that it expects to transfer ownership of its landfills to Allied Waste in November 1997, and will no longer control that revenue source or surcharges outside their jurisdiction (Attachment B) . Consequently, the County has announced that it will stop providing HHW services to other jurisdictions when the transfer of solid waste assets are complete. Chula Vista and the other cities in the County are encouraging the County to use any remaining County Solid Waste Program funds and revenue from the sale of the system to maintain the HHW hotline and collection events at least through the end of this fiscal year. Most cities have voiced concerns about developing and implementing a new program in the middle of a budget year. On July 29, 1997, the County proposed a new program structure and funding mechanism to replace the tipping fee surcharge (Attachment C). The County requested that cities fund the program based on their respective residents use of the system. Chula Vista's costs would include a $10,000 per year initial fee (paid by each City) and $47,000 additional per year, based on the average participation by Chula Vista g--.2.. Household Hazardous Waste September 16, 1997 Page 3 residents over the past three years (Attachment D). The County's projection for total costs to South Bay's Cities is approximately $250,000 per year. The County plan depends on participation by most if not all of the jurisdictions within the County and costs would be higher for the same level of service if fewer cities participate. City representatives asked the County to develop projections for local costs based on scenarios where five, ten or fifteen jurisdictions choose to participate. Representatives also recommended that participating cities have more authority in financial and program decisions in any future regional program structure. Some cities, particularly those that have diverted most of their material from County landfills have already begun to offer or plan their own locally funded collection events. The County has scheduled another meeting to discuss HHW issues for September 16, 1997. The Local Task Force has also placed the item on its October 2, 1997 Agenda so that a recommendation to SANDAG may be considered. Current Staff Efforts to Re-Establish a HHW Prol1ram for Chula Vista Residents Staff is confident that a sub-regional application with the right components would have a very strong chance of receiving significant funding from the state HHW grant program for three years. The grant components would have to include a public education component, the development of permanent HHW collection/drop-off infrastructure, and a funding source that will allow the program to continue service after the three year grant cycle concludes. Grant applications will be available this fall and awards will be announced this winter or early spring in time to incorporate award results into a 1998/99 HHW budget. Chula Vista staff has already organized a meeting with the South Bay Regional Used Oil Program cities; Coronado, Imperial Beach and National City. The meeting was intended to encourage the development of a sub-regional program that would pursue grants (see Attachment C). A sub-regional program could participate in a County-wide program or establish its own HHW program if the County plan fails to materialize. Initial discussions with neighboring jurisdictions concentrated on using grants and other non- general fund revenues to develop facilities that will offer long term, low-cost solutions, and utilize a combination of user fees, surcharges, sponsorships and Used Oil Block Grants to fund operational costs when the initial grant cycles are over. Existing agreements between Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach and National City allow staff to apply for sub-regional used oil and household hazardous waste grants that could fund a major portion of the South Bay's Household Hazardous Waste collection and public education programs for the three year grant cycle. The grants could fund all the public education costs, and a significant portion of the collection and capital costs for HHW facilities. Chula Vista and other participants may need to partially fund the program from other sources and would be expected to demonstrate a funding source to continue the program when the grant cycle ended. Staff is developing budget scenarios that would include a variety of funding options to provide a permanent program. The following chart demonstrates potential funding sources, their estimated revenues and their corresponding effects to rate payers. 6'-:]' Household Hazardous Waste September 16, 1997 Page 4 Potential HHW Fee Application Projected Annual Direct Cost to Funding Source Revenue Residential Rate Payer County/Chula Vista Tipping Fee Surcharge 50C per ton $1,000,000155,000 3C p/mo- pirate payer AB 939 Fee .5 % p/refuse bill Not Applicable/$50,000 7 C p/mo - p/residential rate payer Gate fee - voluntarily $1-$3 p/user $7,5001$800 $1-$3 per household, paid by user per voluntary use HHWE Grants for N/A Up to $300,000 for 3 -0- South Bay Region years Used Oil Opportunity N/A Up to $250,000 for 18 -0- Grants (for South Bay) months Used Oil Block Grants N/A $45,000 for three years -0- (existing-South Bay) Corporate Sponsorships Unknown Unknown -0- South Bay Un- $85 to $175 $100,000 to 150,000 over Reimbursed by incorporated County (cost per vehicle) three years County/City of San and City of San Diego Diego based on use Participants Grant funds are based on awards projected for an application from three or more participating South Bay jurisdictions. Existing block grants extend through fiscal year 199912000 and may be renewed. Tipping fee surcharges have the added advantage of spreading costs over a larger group of generators by reaching self-haulers and other customers that are not reached by municipal refuse bills. Two years ago Chula Vista recommended a IOC to 45C tipping fee surcharge to fund HHWE programs that was rejected by Solid Waste Authority members of the Technical Advisory Subcommittee and SANDAG Executive Committee. That funding option now has general support at the Technical Advisory Committee and may be presented to SANDAG as part of a regional funding approach at their November meeting. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the 1997/98 budget resulting from staffrecommendation. The cost for continuing the program in the future will be submitted in the 1998/99 fiscal year budget. That proposal is expected to pay for the program with a combination of funding sources including; grants, tipping fee surcharges, user fees, AB 939 fees and corporate sponsorships. The state grant applications for Household Hazardous Waste Funds and Used Oil Opportunity Grants are due this fall and awards will be announced this winter or early spring. g~f 17 rTI7 elf H l'f"v rs /II' () r s<V7--<JAJ G:1:) mtm:cas-rcc hhw9-97.cas .~ .'-0;. .. . , (ATTACHMENT A) QIouniy of ~ctn JElicgo JOSEPH S.

CALIFORNIA 92123.1295 July 17, 1997 Mr. Michael Meacham city of Chula Vista 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, CA 91910-2631 Dear Mr. Meacham: HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PROGRAM CHANGES As you know, the County of San Diego is currently in the process of divesting its solid waste assets. Once divestiture is complete, there may be significant changes to the County's Regional Household Hazardous Materials Program (HHMP). A preview of the changes was presented at the Technical Assistance Committee meeting on July 3, 1997. This letter is written to invite you or your representative to attend a meeting on July 29, 1997, at the County Solid Waste Services' offices. The items discussed will include jurisdictional programs, ongoing use of the HHMP services, funding and billing mechanisms, and operation of the. permanent household hazardous waste facilities. When divestiture is complete, the County will fund the HHMP for only unincorporated area residents through hauler agreement fees. The County plans to use a portion of this fund to reimburse unincorporated area costs at the permanent HHW collection facilities. The goal of the meeting on July 29, 1997, is to determine if jurisdictions are interested in continued use of the County's HHMP services, and if so, what items will be necessary for continued participation. The County hopes to have letters of intent from interested jurisdictions, by August 29, 1997. g-r5 o Prinledonrecyc:ledpaper (ATTTACHMENT A-2) Mr. Meacham -2- July 17, 1997 A draft agenda of the meeting is attached. Item One will be discussed from 9:30am to lO:30am, and Item Two will be discussed from lO:30am to 11:30am. You are welcome to attend the discussion of either one or both of the items. If you have any questions, please call me at (619) 974-2698, Pamela Cortelyou at (619) 974-2676, or Susan otten at (619) 974-2613.
