1. JOINT MEETING WITH THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE /=.~
PRESENT: Members Lupe Jimenez, Hugh Cristensen, Harry Hillock,
Chuck Peter and Will Hyde
Vice Chairman Hyde reported the Committee began its work in October
1988 with familiarization meetings every two weeks for the purpose
of reviewing each threshold in depth. A report will be coming to
Council approximately April 1, 1989. Vice Chairman Hyde commented
on the participation given by staff, that the process has worked
well but it is premature to judge or evaluate the compliance of
thresholds. The adopted ordinance, however, has created attention
which has focused on various projects and the impact of the
ordinance has strengthened the standards set. Commissioner Hyde
commented that better information and coordination has resulted
with other entities as a result of the meetings.
Commissioner Peter reported the economic impact has not yet been
reviewed and possibly Council could give some input; secondly, the
contract for a detailed traffic study is now being let stating
that, only through Council's influence on related cities, will any
corrective action occur; and thirdly, the Initial Study was set up
to review in 12 to 14 months but the Commission should really be
looking further ahead in terms of data with the possibility of
"managing" as opposed to '~reacting".
Commissioner Christensen commented on the need to increase the
revenue in view of the limited sales tax and property tax which is
based on future growth. The new Library site was also of interest
to Mr. Christensen who submitted a sketch of a proposed Museum and
Cultural Library for Chula Vista. The Downtown area was discussed
and the need for more population in this area to support the
downtown village, which population was included in the draft
General Plan.
MINUTES - 2 - February 23, 1989
Member Jimenez reported what is being done in the City of Chula
Vista will impact the surrounding areas of the City. She also
reported on presentations from School Districts recently where
overcrowding in the schools were discussed which is in conflict
with reports on the growth being handled well. A letter was
received from the School District on the subject, copy of which was
distributed to Council and to staff. Member Jimenez suggested that
the School Districts be requested to establish some enrollment
projections for the future.
Director of Planning Krempl reported on the long range view that
has been offered to staff by being involved with the Committee
Meetings; agreed that they have fostered coordination with outside
agencies, that the Committee has looked at about half of the
thresholds; Parks & Recreation, Drainage, Sewers and Fire have all
been established to be satisfactory; Traffic needs data, Police
will be addressed shortly and the Library does have a shortfall.
Council discussed with the Committee Members the economic impact;
the membership of the Committee with the possibility of
establishing terms with a possible "overlap" of membership to allow
for the education and training, and how the thresholds affect the
policy of the City and the standard of living of citizens; the
"cost component" which results in the need to look at and identify
an acceptable cost within thresholds; and the determination of an
acceptable standard of service before considering all of the
impacts which can affect services.
Mayor Cox reported on a meeting relative to the selection of an
airport at which he is the designated Representative for the South
Bay area, with Imperial Beach Councilman Mahoney as an alternate.
The premise exists that Lindbergh Field will not be the regional
airport and at this point other areas are being looked at; a report
will be made at the next meeting.
ADJOURNMENT AT 5:10 p.m. of the Joint Meeting of City Council and
the Growth Management Oversight Committee. City Council recessed
and reconvened at 5:15 p.m.
2. FORMATION OF CHULA VISTA 2000 COM~IUNITY TASK FORCE AND AD HOC
ARTS TASK FORCE
Director of Management Services Thomson reported four proposals
have been received in the search for a consultant. The applicants
were requested to comment on two major options - the establishment
of a non-profit corporation and how to comply with clerical
assistance. Director Thomson also reported that information
received by the City Attorney revealed that members of the Chula
Vista 2000 Task Force not be required to complete the State's
Financial Disclosure Statement (Form 730).
MINUTES 3 February 23, 1989
Mayor Cox stressed his hope that everyone involved set the
parameters of the purposes and to bring in other people to serve,
that Council might select the Chairs of the six different Task
Forces and, because the applications are not definitive, to have
one or two general meetings before definite interest is expressed.
Director Thomson suggested a more organized structure, or ground
work, before a public forum is addressed. He presented slides to
highlight the alternatives of selecting the Chairs by the Council,
by the Steering Committee or by the committee members.
MOTION
MS (Moore/Cox) that Council select the Chairman and Vice Chairman
and entice them to commit themselves to full term with the
Committees.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
M (Nader) to postpone making the actual decisions to the next
Meeting (for a full Council to be present).
Mayor Cox suggested the subject be considered at this meeting with
recommendations and action taken; ratification to occur at a full
Council Meeting. Councilman Moore stated that, unless the subject
is addressed at this meeting as scheduled with action taken, that
he will not discuss it any further since the entire subject may
have to be discussed again. Councilman Nader reported he is not
ready to vote without input of other Councilmembers.
At 5:43 p.m., Councilman Moore left his seat and Mayor Cox left the
Meeting.
