Councilwoman McCandliss expressed concerns with the ~1 million
increase for the project, mitigation of the noise problems, and
the two traffic signals on Woodlawn.
There being no public testimony, either for or against, the public
hearing was declared closed.
Councilman Scott pointed out the lack of funding provided by
MTDB. He noted other cities are eschewed while it appears the
City of San Diego receives preferable funding from MTDB.
Councilman Moore suggested if there is an increase in usage of
this transportation system due to the construction of the station,
the City should ask for reimbursement of funds to be applied
towards the second phase of the project.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
MS (Scott/McCandliss) inform MTDB that the City feels it has been
put upon and request that funds be applied towards the second or
third phase of the "E" Street project from MTDB as they are
benefitting from its construction as much as the City.
Discussion followed concerning obtaining data on ridership
increase as a result of the "E" Street station and reimbursement
from MTDB because of this.
Councilman Moore suggested the motion include obtaining current
data (without the "E" Street station) and another one in one year
(with the "En Street station) and for MTDB to be prepared to fund
a portion of the second phase of the project.
The motion to request reimbursement from MTDB passed unanimously.
MINUTES 5 January 7, 1986
In response to Mayor Cox's comments, Director of Public Works/City
Engineer Lippitt explained certain improvements can be installed
along the sidewalks in this area but not until the drainage

crosswalk. The requests for the improvements from the Copper
Penny Motel and Cornell's store will be included in the CIP budget.

AUTHORITY (City Attorney)
During the City Council meeting of December 10, 1985, Council
directed that a resolution be prepared supporting the

Councilman Moore said he is opposing this resolution due to the
vagueness of funding.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was
waived by unanimous consent.

automobile registration is the proper way to fund this. He asked
that the name of the Councilman from the City of Del Mar be
inserted in the resolution as the nominee for appointment to this
authority.
The motion to adopt the resolution passed with Councilman Moore
Opposed.
17. ORDINANCE 2138 AMENDING SEVERAL SECTIONS OF THE ZONING
ORDINANCE REGULATING SATELLITE DISH
ANTENNAE FIRST READING (Director of
Planning)
On November 26, 1985, the City Council received a report on
satellite dishes. The report from the Director of Planning dealt
with recommendations as to how to handle non-conforming dishes and
enforcement difficulties, in part, due to the lack of a building
permit requirement. Council requested a five-year amortization
for all non-conforming satellite antennae. This was thought to be
a reasonable time period as the antennae are not considered
permanent structures and many could likely be relocated as opposed
to being completely removed at that time.
MINUTES 11 - January 7, 1986
Councilman Scott questioned the five-year time period suggested
for amortization on non-conforming satellite antennae. In
response, City Attorney Harron stated after preparation of this
ordinance, the Attorney's office used the Metromedia v. San Diego
case in which the Court found that a three-year amortization
period was an appropriate time.
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) to amend the ordinance changing the
amortization period from five years to three years.
Director Krempl noted there are currently 26 non-conforming
satellite dishes in the City which were installed prior to the ban.
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) to place the ordinance, as amended, on
First Reading.
20. REPORT REGARDING COGENERATION/DISTRICT HEATING
FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE CHULA VISTA
CIVIC CENTER, PARKWAY RECREATION
FACILITIES AND TOWN CENTRE (Assistant to
the City Manager/Director of Building &
Housing)
As part of its overall energy management program, staff is
investigating alternative energy sources, specifically
cogeneration and district heating (i.e., space heating and
cooling), as a means of producing more efficient energy for use in
City facilities. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was prepared to
hire a consultant to study the feasibility of a
cogeneration/district heating system(s) as a more cost effective
means of providing energy to the Chula Vista Civic Center, Park
Way facilities and the Town Centre.
The proposed cost of the feasibility study is estimated to range
between $25,000 and $50,000. Staff will return to Council for
appropriation and award of contract at a future date. Funding is
available through various sources in the City's CIP process.
It was recommended Council authorize staff to proceed with the RFP
and accept consultant proposals for a study of the feasibility and
cost benefit of a City-operated cogeneration/district heating
facility(s).
Assistant to the City Manager Morris explained there could
potentially be more than one unit in one location depending on the
specific site's needs. For example, it is very feasible the three
buildings in the City Hall complex could be under one unit, the
Park Way under another unit, and Town Centre under another, or
they could all be under one unit.
MSUC (Moore/Cox) to accept the report.
MINUTES - 12 - January 7, 1986
14a. RESOLUTION 12328 RESCINDING THE TENTATIVE AWARD OF THE
ENHANCEMENT PLANNING CONTRACT TO
LEEDSHILL-HERKENHOFF, INC. (Community
Development Director)
b. RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO REJECT ALL
ENHANCEMENT PLANNING PROPOSALS
c. RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO REINITIATE THE RFP
PROCESS FOR BAYFRONT ENHANCEMENT PLANS
In his written report, Community Development Director Desrochers
explained that on December 17, 1985, the City Council approved the
selection of the consulting firm, Leedshill-Herkenhoff, Inc., to
prepare Enhancement Plans for the Bayfront based on staff
recommendation.
The resolution regarding consultant selection included a clause
stating City Council approval was contingent upon concurrence by
the Executive Officer of the Coastal Conservancy. The Executive
Officer of the Conservancy did not concur with consultant
selection and has asked that the City Council rescind its award.
City and Conservancy staff members have been unable to reach a
satisfactory agreement regarding consultant selection. Rejection
of all proposals would allow a new selection process to be
initiated.
Director Desrochers reported the subcontractor for the
highest-ranked bidder, Barbara Massey, had written letters to the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service opposing their approval of the City's
Section 404 permit. She had also testified, on her own behalf,
before the Coastal Commission on two occasions.
Director Desrochers stated the lack of information to Council at
the December 17 meeting was due to last-minute details which were
not anticipated. Staff felt this problem with the Coastal
Conservancy could be resolved before the December 17 meeting.
City Attorney Harron advised that rescission of the tentative
award to Leedshill-Herkenhoff, Inc. would be appropriate.
Dr. Michael Josselyn, 4319 23rd Street, San Francisco, explained
Wetlands Research Associates' intentions are to work with the City
as a prime client. His firm has worked on several other recent
controversial projects in the bay area including close association
with both regulatory agencies. Their overall proposal is to
develop a plan and provide the best information. Barbara Massey's
qualifications are excellent and her past contacts with the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service are not viewed as a conflict of interest
in this project. He noted, however, that Ms. Massey is willing to
MINUTES 13 - January 7, 1986
withdraw her involvement with this project because of her past
actions. He requested the ranking of proposals be determined by a
fair and reasonable process with the highest ranking bidder
selected.
MSUC .(Cox/Moore) to go into Closed Session to discuss this item.
The meeting recessed at 5:40 p.m. and reconvened at 5:45 p.m.
In response to Mayor Cox's question, Dr. Josselyn stated he would
agree to the City's complete review and concurrence of the
ornithology study in the event the Council awarded the contract to
his firm.
It was moved by Councilwoman McCandliss to accept the
highest-scoring bid with the substitution of the subcontractor for
Barbara Massey subsequent to City approval.
Mayor Cox pointed out the highest scoring bidder is Wetlands
Research Associates.
The Mayor declared the motion out of order pending the offer of
the resolution.
RESOLUTION 14a OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the
text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved
unanimously.
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to accept the high-point bidder, Wetlands
Research Associates, Inc. with the requirement the ornithologist
subcontractor be approved by the City.
Mayor Cox reiterated that Barbara Massey has agreed to withdraw as
the subcontractor for this project.

Therefore, the Committee recommends the City Council stock
500 for their use.
MSUC (Cox/Scott) to approve the recommendation to come back with a
specific number (of medallions).
On Sunday, March 2, 1986, at 2 p.m., the Diamond Anniversary

balls will be utilized to recognize major
sponsors/underwriters of events that excelled throughout the
year. The community picnic honoring old time Chula Vistans
is another gathering for such a national or state figure.
It is recommended the City Council authorize the Mayor to
establish communications with state and
national5organizations with the end effort of obtaining a
commitment of one or more high officials to attend one or
