Extending the Interim Clerk II Position in the Personnel Department to a Full Year (~8,230). 7. Expanding the Administrative Clerk Position in Management Services to Full Time ($10,230). City Manager Goss then presented statistics regarding the General Fund Summary for the City and the Montgomery area for Fiscal Year 1986-87. He noted the estimated total resources over the operating budget for 86-87 is ~1,370,440 with an estimated reserve balance as of June 30, 1987 of ~8,109,650. Mr. Goss added that if the Wish List funding is included the estimated total resources over the operating budget for 86-87, it would be ~1,240,810 with an estimated reserve balance as of June 30, 1987 of $7,980,020. In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss' question, Mr. Goss stated that the staff report regarding the number of Police patrols on the street will be coming to the Council soon. Minutes 2 June 17, 1986 Budget Session Councilman Campbell questioned extending the Interim Personnel Analyst position and the Interim Clerk II position in the Personnel Department for an additional 6 months rather than hiring a full-time person. City Manager Goss responded that the reason they were placed in the budget in the first place was because of the Montgomery Annexation and the number of positions which were added to City staff. He added he is reluctant to recommend adding a full-time position to this department once the peak load is over. Councilwoman McCandliss discussed the funding under the Community Development Department. She explained that two members of the Council were appointed to the Cultural Arts Committee. The Committee was charged with raising $5,000 toward a financial feasibility study for a cultural arts center. The Committee has now raised approximately 25% of that amount and they will have a major kick-off in July to meet that quota. MS (McCandliss/Cox) to appropriate in the Community Development budget the amount of 915,000 to be set aside for the Financial Feasibility Study. This will be spent at the time the money is raised by the Cultural Arts Committee. This motion will be considered at the next Redevelopment Agency meeting when the Agency considers its budget. Councilman Moore indicated he would like a full membership of the Council on that vote as he is concerned with spending City funds for that particular kind of study. He would first like to know first whether or not the community is backing this project. It was noted that this motion will again be brought up at the Redevelopment Agency meeting. No action was taken on the motion. Mayor Cox stated he would like to have considered in the Community Development budget an appropriation of money for the Second Harbor Entrance project as there is a consensus between the Cities of Chula Vista and National City to keep this project going forth. MS (Cox/McCandliss) to ask the Redevelopment Agency to consider funding 915,000 next year to continue the program for the entrance to the Second Harbor. The money is to be matched by the City of National City making a total of 930,000; the balance of th~ funding is to be picked up by the people involved in the Second Harbor Entrance. It was noted that Councilman Moore and Mayor Cox are on the Council sub-committee. Councilman Moore indicated the approval should be contingent upon the cities which are involved and their benefits if this project succeeds. Councilman .Campbell remarked the main criteria of the Army Corps of Engineers is the benefit-cost ratio - anything above a one-to-one ratio would permit the Army Corps to go ahead with the funding. Minutes - 3 - June 17, 1986 Budget Session Councilman Campbell noted that Don Nay, Planning Director of the Port District was recently interviewed on TV and stated, in his opinion, there will be a Second Harbor Entrance. Councilman Campbell feels the Port District should make a substantial contribution to this program adding one stumbling block is that the Navy wants the Second Harbor Entrance but does not want to pay anything toward it. Mayor Cox explained the $15,000 would be used to set up a broad base of the people who are for the project and that group of people would develop contacts with the business people for the financial aid. Also the possibility of hiring someone in Washington to look at getting the funding. At this point the $15,000 will be reserved in the budget and any expenditures of that money will be coming back to the City Council for approval. The motion to fund $15,000 carried unanimously. MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to approve the 7 items on the Wish List. Councilman Moore expressed his following concerns: a. To have a Council policy regarding funding of residential alleys. City Manager Goss noted this was already referred to staff. b. To have the City Manager present the Council with a list of the consultants approved for hiring in the 1986-87 budget. c. Concern with the Sweetwater Valley Master Plan, especially the entryways and parking areas at Rohr Park along with the proposed parking at the Optimist Field. City Manager Goss noted the cost of the project would be close to ~7 million and it is an agenda item at the regularly scheduled meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m. d. The concern with the date ~f commencing the budget. Councilman Moore felt the date of the budget presentation this year was too late. If major items come up after the presentation, it could present a problem that perhaps the budget is running two weeks late. City Manager Goss said the budget was submitted to the Council one week earlier this year than in previous years. The constraint has been the preparation of the Montgomery budget. Staff will continually try to present the Council with the budget as early as possible. The meeting recessed at 6:50 p.m. to the regularly scheduled meeting which begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber. 0826C STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) AFFIDAVIT OF POSTING ORDER COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO ) ss OF ADJOURNMENT OF MEETING CITY OF CHULA VISTA ) I, Adele A.
