restore the Sweetwater Marsh complex, and own and operate the Chula Vista Nature
Center. The BCT is now an entity whose mission is advisory in nature as an advocate for
the enhancement of the Nature Center and the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife
Refuge. To that end, it is the desire of the BCT to dissolve the non-profit corporation and
establish a new body charged with advising the City on matters related to the Chula Vista
Nature Center. (City Manager)

AGREEMENT V~ITH DANIEL L. AND RUTH STREET FOR THE
CONSTRUCTIONOF A 9,000~SQUARE FOOT PRE-FABRICATED INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING AT 2365 MAIN STREET WITHIN THE SOUTHVv~ST
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
Daniel L. and Ruth Street, as property owners, are proposing to construct a 9,000 square
foot pre-fabricated industrial building at 2365 Main Street, within the boundaries of the
Southwest Redevelopment Project Area. The metal building will be used to enclose auto
parts from dismantled vehicles, which is currently being done in the open areas of the
site. This proposal is part of a three-phase project originally approved by the
Redevelopment Agency in 1993 through a special use permit. The applicant is proposing
to implement the second phase of the project now and the third phase in a few more
years. The project is being constructed on a graded lot with two industrial buildings
fronting on Main Street, one of which serves as the business office.
Staff recommendation: Agency adopt the resolution.
With reference to Item No. 2, Deputy Mayor Padilla asked why the appointment of a member to
the board would require three votes of the Council, while the removal of a member from the
board would require four. Senior Assistant City Attorney Moore responded that she was not
involved with the project, but the reason most likely that removing a member from office is
generally of a more serious nature than appointing a member.
ACTION: Agencymember Rindone moved to approve staff recommendation and offered
Consent Calendar Items #1 through #3, headings read, texts waived, with the
understanding that, with reference to Item #2, the policy regarding the number of
votes needed to appoint and remove board members be consistent with the policy
governing other City boards, committees, and commissions. The motion carried
4-0.
