TIME AND PLACE FOR
HEARING THEREON
Motion for continuance It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by
Councilman Hyde that this item be continued to the next
meeting (January 4, 1977).
Discussion of motion Councilman Egdahl explained that his motion is based on
1) the party interested in the property is presently
using the property; 2) there is a clouded title which
may mean that there is a possibility that the City has
an interest or ownership in the property - if this is so,
rather than giving it away, the City should protect the
taxpayers' interest and sell the property; 3) the
Planning Commission will be studying the zoning o£ this
entire area; 4) the entrance from the Freeway onto "L"
Street is unsightly and perhaps some fencing should be
done in thc area to provide a more aesthetically pleasing
appearance.
Director of Public Hr. Robens explained that the title company has looked
Works' comments into this matter and is unwilling to make a commitment
as to who owns the underlying fee. Unless the City is
willing to finance an in-depth search, the staff will not
know anything different than presented in their report
tonight. It is the reconunendation of staff to vacate
the property and if the owner finds that the City owns
the underlying fee, then the City has the legal claim to
one-half of the roadway (40 foot section).
City Attorney's City Attorney Lindberg recommended the continuance adding
opinion that the City is obligated under the Street Vacation Act
to properly appraise the value of the property, if in fact
City Council Meeting -8- December 21, 1976
the City has an interest in it, and the adjacent property
owner would have to pay for the street right-of-way.
Motion carried The motion for continuance to the meeting of January 4
carried unanimously.
8. RESOLUTION NO. 8451 - Director of Public Works submitted a written report in
APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN which he explained the terms of original agreement dated
TIlE CITY AND SPRING VALLEY March 1, 1961 with the City of San Diego. In 1962, the
SANITATION DISTRICT TRANS- Spring Valley Sanitation District and Chula Vista entered
FERRING METRO CAPACITY into an agreement which formally recognized the relation-
RESERVATION TO SPRING ship between this City's capacity reservation and the
VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICT "sphere of influence"area for which the capacity was to
be used. In exchange for such recognition, Chula Vista
agreed to sell capacity rights to the District.
During the life of the agreement, the District has
obtained sewage capacity through a number of "lease"
agreements and presently utilizes in excess of 800,000
gallons per day of the City's capacity reservation.
This requires complex record-keeping; therefore, the
proposed agreement has been made which will cancel the
earlier lease agreements through an outright sale
($40,000) of capacity rights of 1,000,000 gallons per
day.
Council discussion In answer to Council's questions, Hr. William Harshman,
Senior Civil Engineer, explained the terms of the present
agreement with the Spring Valley Sanitation District and
the calculations for payment: direct costs to the City
plus 10% - no interests were included.

lish development guidelines in the event it desires to
