ITEM NO.4 - REPORT: REQUEST OF BUSINESS & INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Community Development Director Desrochers stated that the Business & Industry
Development Committee requested that the Agency reconsider the purchase of
5,000 reprints of the "San Diego Home and Garden" insert on Chula Vista. The
inserts will be used for promotion and fund raising.
Mr. Di ck Brown, Chairman of the Business & Industry Deve 1 opment Steering
Committee, commented that in an effort to promote the City of Chula Vista, the
Committee voted unanimously to purchase an additional 5,000 copies of the "San
Diego Home and Garden" supplement at a cost of $1,375.
In response to Member Scott's question, Community Development Di rector
Desrochers stated that the public relations consultants were offered an
advertising commission from the magazine but they declined due to their
agreement with the Ci ty. Member Scott requested further clarification be
provided to the Agency regarding this issue.
Discussion followed on the format of the advertising supplement. Member Scott
expressed concern that the article was an advertising supplement with an
article about Chula Vista rather than an article on Chula Vista containing
advertisements.
MOTION TO AUTHORIZE EXPENDITURE
MS (McCandliss/Malcolm) to authorize the expenditure of $687 to purchase the
supplemental "Home & Garden Magazine" insert.

balance of the purchase of the supplements.

The Corrrni ttee prefers to conduct bus i ness in an informal manner (they had
previous 1 y voted not to adopt byl aws). Any funds collected by the Commi ttee
wou 1 d be donated to the Ci ty, whi ch in turn wou 1 d make appropri at ions out of
special funds. Member McCandliss reiterated that the Agency should retain the
