1. CONSIDERA nON OF THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT
COMMISSION'S 2003 ANNUAL REPORT
On May 3, 2004, the Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC) finalized its
2003 annual report to the City Council regarding compliance with the City's quality-of-
life threshold standards. The report covers the period from July 1,2002 through June 30,
2003, identifies current issues in the second half of 2003 and early 2004, and finally
assesses threshold compliance concerns over the next five years. The report addresses
each threshold in terms of current compliance, issues, and corresponding
recommendations.
GMOC Chair Tripp made introductory remarks with regard to the 2004 GMOC report.
Mayor Padilla stated that in addition to reviewing the II standards currently in place, the GMOC
included in its report a number of concerns with respect to school thresholds and the secondary
school district. However, out of an abundance of fairness, it would be inappropriate to hold the
school district accountable to standards that have not been adopted and about which the district
has not been afforded the opportunity to provide input. He stated that the Council would defer
the components of the report that deal with education to a later date, after dialogues have
occurred between the City and district.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT COMMISSION REPORT (Continued)
Planning and Building Director Sandoval briefly explained quality of life factors with regard to
growth through new development, growth through demographic change, department
performance standards, and existing needs.
Chair Tripp highlighted the changes by the GMOC over the past three years, namely public
outreach, future orientation, and a focus on western Chula Vista. He stated that seven of the II
thresholds were met and two thresholds were in partial compliance.
At 6:58 p.m., Planning Commissioner Cortes announced that he would be recusing himself from
the FirelEMS portion of the report due to a potential conflict of interest and a professional
obligation to American Medical Response, the City's ambulance service provider. He then left
the room. Chair Tripp presented the FirelEMS segment of the report.
