School could be managed and operated. Staff recommends that the City
Council accept Option Number One whereby the City would operate the
facility in cooperation with the Sweetwater School District. Other

permits and would share in the proportionate cost of utilizing the facility.

Continued from the meeting of 8/27/91.
Councilman Moore: Council consideration to appoint nominees to the Mobilehome Rent Review
Commission by either a nominee from each individual Councilmember or by a Council interview
process. The rationale for this is that this is an unusual Review board and the action of this

City Council Meeting of September 17, 1991
Transmitted herewith are the agenda and related materials for the regular City
Council meeting scheduled for September 17, 1991. Comments regarding the
Written Communications are as follows:
Sa. This is a letter from Mr. and Mrs. William Speir requesting that the
City consider placing a traffic light at the I-80S and Main Street
off-ramp. As per the information provided to the Council during the
September 7 Council tour, staff is working with Caltrans to install
signals at these off-ramps. The City's consultant is preparing the
project report and traffic signal construction plans required by
Caltrans. Once these are approved by Caltrans, we will be asked to
enter into a cooperative agreement with Caltrans. We believe the
agreement will be ready for Council consideration in February 1991. IT
IS RECOMMENDED THAT MR. AND MRS. SPEIR'S LETTER BE RECEIVED AND FILED
AND THAT STAFF INFORM THE SPEIRS ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE PROJECT.
Sb. This is a request from Mr. Charles G. Peter requesting that the City
support National City in their attempt to have Caltrans construct a new
off-ramp for Plaza Bonita Road from I-80S north. Staff has worked with
Caltrans on this item and, as Mr. Peter states, Caltrans has objected.
Nevertheless, we believe that the off-ramp sought by National City would
help improve the traffic situation at Bonita Road and Plaza Bonita
Road. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL EXPRESS THEIR SUPPORT FOR
NATIONAL CITY'S EFFORTS AND THAT STAFF BE DIRECTED TO PREPARE A LETTER
FOR THE MAYOR'S SIGNATURE TO CALTRANS IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROPOSAL.
Sc. This is a request from Jerry McNutt to be advised of actions being
considered and/or recommended by the City regarding the Appropriate
Technologies 11 (APTEC II) permit renewal. Oue to the complexity of the
situation and the legal implications that may be involved, staff in the
City Manager's Office and the Attorney's Office will be reviewing this
matter and preparing a report to Council within the next two weeks. IT
IS RECOMMENDED THAT MR. MCNUTT BE ADVISED OF STAFF'S INTENT AND NOTIFIED
OF WHEN THE ITEM WILL BE CONSIDERED.
Sd. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY FILED BY CLAUDIA
ANGELES, JOYCE NICOLAS, MERITPLAN INSURANCE COMPANY, MARGUERITE
WILLIAMS, AND RONALD J. WHITEHURST BE DENIED.

The Honorable Tim Nader
Mayor of Chula vista, California
Dear Mayor Nader,
We are trying to keep our street a residental street
only. The enclosed petition we sent to the Chula Vista
Transit company is one concern. The other is the increased
commercial traffic, i.e., Laidlaw Waste Systems and Pacific
Bell trucks, along our street.
We ask that you please consider a traffic light at the
off-ramp of 805 South and Main Street so that these trucks
can make that left-hand turn more easily and not feel the
need to use Oleander Avenue for the ease of a left-turn onto
Main Street.
We have a very busy street already and soon the children
will be back in school and we do not need these trucks going
at an unsafe speed down Oleander. Could you please address
this problem for us by way of a traffic analysis to include
placement of speed limit signs and school crossing signs
which are now either non-existent or obscured.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,. )

A PETITION TO CHULA VISTA TRANSIT
FOR RELOCATION OF ROUTE '703
We, the undersigned residents of the Oleander Avenue, Sequoia
Street area, do hereby petition the Chula Vista Transit company to
relocate the bus route 703 from running south of Orange Avenue along
Oleander to Sequoia Street, to running east on Orange Avenue and
using Brandywine Avenue as the main throughfare for the route. The
reasons we make this petition are:
Noise POllution: We are experiencing an increase of squealing
brakes and bus gears from once an hour to at least three times an
hour as the buses come around the corner at Sequoia. The residents
between Oleander and Olive Street experience three times that amount
as there are two bus stops and one s~op sign in tnat one block area!
(We are only talking about a four house area in that block.) We
cannot even enjoy an hour-long television program without the noise
interference of the buses.
Air POllution: The exhaust from all the above mentioned stops
and starts, while probably unleaded, is still smelly and leaves our
bushes, flowers, and fences covered with a soot-like blackness.
Increased Traffic: We had looked forward" to the opening of
Brandywine Avenue to alleviate some of the tremendous traffic that
already occurs on Oleander between Orange and Sequoia. Unfortunately
that did not happen and now we have buses also!! In September, when
school starts, the traffic on this one block will be horrendous.
Increased Dangers: Oleander is a narrow street with curves.
There have already been instances when cars parked along the street
have caused the bus to come across the yellow line, making oncoming
traffic swerve to avoid being hit. This is a curve that is right by
the school--a dangerous place to be avoiding collisions.
We feel that moving the route to Brandywine does not cause much
hardship to anyone. It is only one block more to walk to the stops,
plus the few homes that are actually on Brandywine are farther off
the street, and the street is wider and safer for aLL concerned.
Please, we feel that the installation of this route was not
properly researched before it started. Would you please now just
stand on our terrible corner some morning or evening traffic hour
and see what we mean about the whole street--then implement our
petition.
Thank you.
We are forwarding a copy of this petition to Mayor Tim Nader along
with our concerns about other increased commercial traffic on our
street. The Chula Vista Police Department is already aware of some
of the problems.

Chula Vista, CA 91910
RE: Bonita Plaza Off Ramp
The citizens of Chula Vista and our City Council should support
National City's efforts to have Cal Trans construct a new off
ramp for Plaza Bonita from I-80S North. It would have a
significant impact on reducing traffic congestion at the inter-
section of Bonita Road and I-80S.
The short off ramp was covered as an alternate solution in the
November 1987 Sweetwater Valley Traffic Study. Traffic coming
north on I-80S and going to Plaza Bonita would stay on I-80S,
cross over Bonita Road and exit on the eastbound South Bay
Freeway. A new short connector road would then run from the
South Bay Freeway to Plaza Bonita. It appears to me to be less
than 100 yards over clear land.
Cal Trans was against this solution in 1987 and it appears they
still object to it. They say "Every off ramp needs to have an
on ramp in the same area." This is not possible in this case.
Cal Trans has argued that there are relatively few cars involved.
Their report showed 270 vehicles during the peak hour. I would
argue that it is not the number of cars but the fact that they
must change lanes 2 to 4 times within a very short distance that
causes much of the congestion.
Cal Trans also argues that the change would only help the north-
bound traffic. This is not true. By reducing congestion in the
area, traffic going in all directions would be helped.

have an opportunity to reduct its traffic load we should work for
it. Let I s support National City on this lmportant item.

and Ms. Joyce Nicolas, in connection with their vehicles hitting an
unmarked water valve in the roadway on Telegraph Canyon Road on February
27, 1991. The claims alleged that the city failed to mark street construc-
tion which resulted in property damages and personal injuries.
Because the roadway was under construction by Cass Construction Com-
pany, there is remote liability on the part of the city of Chula vista. It
is the recommendation of our claims administrators, Carl Warren & Company,
and Risk Management, that these claims be denied.

Apache Drive.
Because the roadway was under construction by Cass Construction Com-
pany at the time of the accident, there is remote liability on the part of
the city. It is the recommendation of our claims administrators, Carl War-
ren & Company, and Risk Management, that this claim be denied.

0'},'rate area and sewage pump station charge for the Woodcrest
~~i' Terra Nova Subdivision for the purpose of maintaining and
s\-GO\~V operating a sewer pu~mp station
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works

Meeting Date-9110t91

On August 8, 1989 the City Council approved the Tentative Map for the
Woodcrest Terra Nova Subdivision. Among the conditions of approval of the
Tentative Map was the requirement that the developer provide for the ongoing
maintenance of a proposed sewer pump station required to serve the project.
On October 16, 1990, the developers entered into a Supplemental Subdivision
Agreement agreeing to establ ish a special sewer service rate area for the
purpose of collecting funds to provide for ongoing operation and maintenance
of the proposed permanent pump station.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council place the ordinance on first reading.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
DISCUSSION:
The Woodcrest Terra Nova Subdivision is located near the top of a ridge north
of East H Street, in the Terra Nova area. The property is not capable of
being served by a gravity sewer system without pumping. When the Tentative
Map for the Subdivision was submitted, the developer proposed to pump the
sewage generated by the development to the Rice Canyon basin, which has
sanitary sewer facilities. Staff supported the recommendation provided that
the developer provide for the perpetual maintenance of the pump station.
Adoption of the proposed ordinance would establish a special sewer service
rate area for the subdivision. This would enable the City to collect
sufficient funds to provide for the maintenance and operation of the sewer
pump station.
The boundaries of the proposed special area would be the boundaries of the
Woodcrest Terra Nova Subdivision, as shown on Map 12732, excluding lots 57, 58
and 59, which are connected directly to a gravity system. The developer has
provided notice to all proposed homebuyers of the existence of the pump
station and that there will be an additional cost over and above the regular
monthly sewer charges. Attached is a copy of the page of the notice given to
the homebuyer discussing the sewer pump station. The buyer is required to
initial the form and it becomes a part of the sales record.
"../
Page 2, It. ~
Meeting Date 9/10/91
Based on existing comparable pump stations, staff estimates that the average
annual maintenance cost of a pump station is currently $7,500. The developer
has deposited $9,000 with the City to cover the cost of the first year's
.aintenance and operation of the sewer pump station and to stabilize the rates
for all property owners ulltil the project is builtout (estimated to be June
1993). Based on the buildout of the Subdivision, the average annual cost to a
homeowner for the first two years would be $90.00 per year. The ordinance
establishes the initial annual sewer pump station charge at $90.00 per parcel
per year until June 30, 1993. Thereafter, staff would be required to annually
review the actual costs and distribute those costs among the homeowners
connected to the pump station. If this would result in an increase in the
costs, a public hearing would have to be held before Council.
The Otay Water District will collect these funds along with the regular sewer
charges on the water bill until June 30, 1992. At that time, some other
billing arrangement must be established. The monthly rate would be $7.50 per
home.
While the property is not currently capable of being served by a gravity sewer
system, the ordinance contains language that would permit the City to collect
funds to pay for the costs associated with connection to a gravity system,
should such a connection become feasible.
The City currently has 19 total pump stations of which 8 serve residential
areas similar to Woodcrest Terra Nova. Of these 8 pump stations, 6 have
similar sewer service districts. The other two are older systems and are
operated by the City. The remaining 11 stations either serve specific
City-owned facilities, the sewer system as a whole or the Port District
facilities. The maintenance costs for the Port District pumps are paid by the
Port District. We are in the process of reviewing our ordinances relative to
all of the residential pump stations and will be coming forward with an agenda
ite. in the near future.
FISCAL IMPACT: None. However, if the ordinance is not adopted, the City
would not be compensated for approximately $7,500 per year outlay to maintain
the pump station.

WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista provides sewer service within the
boundaries of the City, and
WHEREAS, the Woodcrest Terra Nova Subdi vi s ion requi res the ongoi ng
maintenance and operation of a sewer pump station which should not be paid for
by City funds, and
WHEREAS, Terra Nova Associates, the owner of Woodcrest Terra Nova
Subdivision, has entered into a Supplemental Subdivision Agreement (approved
by City Council on 10/18/90 by Resolution No. 15904) consenting to the
imposition of a special fee to cover the costs of operating and maintaining a
sewer pump station serving the area of the Woodcrest Terra Nova Subdivision
and certain other costs, and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista has the authority to impose special
sewer service rates and charges by ordinance pursuant to Health and Safety
Code Section 5471.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Chula Vista hereby
establishes a special sewer service rate area within the boundaries of
Woodcrest Terra Nova Subdivision of the City of Chula Vista, as described in
Exhibit 1 and depicted on the map, Exhibit 2, attached hereto, for the purpose
of providing special sewer services to said area through a sewer pump
station. The name of the special area is "Parkside Drive Special Sewer
Service Rate Area".
Section 2. An operations and maintenance surcharge (Sewer Pump
Stat i on Charge ) shall be annually assessed for each user servi ced wi thi n the
Parkside Drive Special Sewer Service Rate Area in addition to the domestic
sewer service charge imposed on other similarly situated parcels within the
service area of the City.
Section 3. The initial surcharge establ ished herein shall be in
effect commencing from the effective date of this ordinance. The initial
surcharge for the remainder of the current fiscal year (ending June 30, 1992)
and the following fiscal year (ending June 30, 1993) shall be $90 per year per
parcel.
Not later than June 30 of every year, commencing with June 30, 1993,
the Director of Public Works shall determine the estimated costs for
maintenance and operation of said pump station for the fiscal year beginning
on the following July 1 and shall determine the actual funds on deposit with
the City available as of June 30 (Actual Funds). Said estimated cost plus a
reserve amounting to between 25 and 50 percent of said cost, as determined by
~PC 00480
t,-l
Ordinance
the City Engineer, shall constitute the required operating funds for the
following fiscal year (Required Funds). Any deficit or excess resulting from
a difference between the estimated costs and actual costs shall be corrected
by adjustments to the rates charged to the Property owners during the
succeeding year. After the reserve reaches at least 25 percent, but not more
than 50 percent, it shall be mai nta i ned to provide necessary cash flow for
operations and a reasonable buffer against large variations in annual
assessments. Such charges shall be based upon full cost recovery of City
expenses and shall include, but not be limited to, labor, materials, power and
water costs for operation and maintenance of the sewer pump station and
ongoing costs associated with providing emergency alarms. The annual Sewer
Pump Station Charge shall be determined by the following formula: (Required
Funds - Actual Funds) divided by the number of customers connected to the pump
station on said June 30.
Said surcharge may, at the discretion of the Director of Pub1 ic
Works, continue to be charged to customers after the pump station is bypassed
or removed and said customers are connected to a gravity sewer system provided
that: 1) such charges do not exceed the charge in effect for the 1 ast full
year of operation of said pump station, and 2) such charges do not exceed the
actual cost of bypassing or removing said pump station.
Section 4. The surcharge, after June 30, 1993, shall be calculated
and assessed administratively, unless the surcharge exceeds the previous
fiscal year's surcharge. In that event, the proposed increase shall be
approved by Council by ordinance at a noticed pub1 ic hearing, in advance of
its imposition, prior to June 30. The surcharge shall be collected in monthly
or bi-monthly installments with the water bill, annually on the tax bill, or
as the City otherwise determines.
Section 5. Said surcharge, together with interest, costs, late
charges and reasonabl e attorneys' fees, shall be a charge on the property
served and shall be a continuing 1 ien upon the property served against which
each such surcharge is made, the lien to become effective upon recordation of
a Notice of Del inquent Pump Station Charge, as provided in Section 8 herein.
Each such surcharge, together with interest, costs, 1 ate charges and
reasonable attorneys' fees, also shall be the personal obligation of the
person who was the owner of such property served at the time when the
surcharge was 1 evi ed. The personal ob1 igat i on for del i nquent Pump Stat i on
charges shall not pass to an owner's successors in t it1 e as thei r personal
obligation unless expressly assumed by them.
Section 6. Any Pump Station Charge imposed in accordance with this
ordinance shall be a debt of the owner of property served from the time the
surcharge is levied. At any time after any surcharges have become delinquent,
the City may file for record in the office of the San Diego County Recorder, a
Notice of Del inquent Pump Station Charge as to such property served, which
notice shall state all amounts which have become del inquent with respect to
such property served and the costs (including attorneys fees), late penalties
and interest whi ch have accrued thereon, and the amount of any surcharges
relating to such property served which is due and payable although not

BACKGROUND:
At a publ ic hearing held August 27, 1991, the City Council considered anCl
acted upon the above referenced General Pl an amendments and rezon i ngs, and
directed the City Attorney to prepare for adoption an appropriate resolution
and ordinance implementing their actions. (Attached for your information is
the previous A113 on these items.)
With respect to the 3.65 acre Otay Lakes Plaza rezoning, Council further
directed that a final set of Precise Plan Guidelines be developed with the
appl icant for adoption, and that restriction of certain uses as necessary to
ensure appropriate compatibility with the adjacent school and church uses be
evaluated.
RECOMMENDATION: Pursuant to actions taken at the August 27, 1991 public
hearing on GPA-91-03/PCI-91-E and GPA-90-01/PCI-90-B, it is recommended that
the Council do the following:
., ...1
Page 2, Itel~Ei
Meeting Date 9/10/91
1. Based on the findings and recol1l1lendations of the Environmental Review
Coordinator, adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Monitoring Program
and Addendum prepared under IS-90-13, and the Negative Declaration
prepared under IS-91-33.
2. Adopt the resolution approving the noted amendments to the City General
Plan and amendment to the Montgomery Specific Plan.
3. Adopt an ordinance changing the zoning from City-adopted County
classification .C37. to City classification "CoT-PO for the 1.86 acre
area at the southwest corner of Main Street and Broadway (Zoning Map No.
471), and the zone classification from "R-l. to .C-C-P,. including the
precise plan guidelines in Appendix 2, for the 3.86 acre area at the
southeast corner of Otay lakes Road and East H Street (Zoning Map No.
451).
DISCUSSION:
During staff cOl1l1lents at the August 27, 1991" hearing on GPA-90-01/PCZ-90-B, it
was indicated that certain precise plan guidelines developed for the staff
recol1l1lended .C-O-P. zoning would not be appropriate for a retail development
under .C-C-P. zoning, and required revision. The applicant also expressed
concern about potential guidelines, and Council directed staff to work with
the applicant to develop a mutually agreeable set to be brought back in two
weeks for adoption with the rezoning ordinance.
Staff met with the applicant, and the resulting guidelines for the .p.
Modifying District are contained in Appendix 2. Guideline'5 addresses the
Council's direction to prohibit certain uses normally allowed or conditionally
allowed in the .C-C-P" zone which would not be appropriate or compatible given
the site's adjacency to school and church uses. Since this specific
limitation of uses is beyond normal code applications for the Precise Plan
Modifying District, it is the recommendation of the City Attorney that the
City enter into a separate agreement with the appl icant establ ishing CC&R's
which would prohibit the following uses:
Liquor stores
Bars and cocktail lounges
Night clubs or dance clubs
Cigar/cigarette stores
Pool halls
Card rooms
Amusement centers/video arcades
Money exchanges/pawn shops
The intent of incorporating requirements for this agreement into the
guidel ines, yet deferring its establ ishment till prior to building permit
approval, is to ensure the desired control while allowing adequate time to
prepare necessary documents with the applicant.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

'1.2
APPENDIX 1
SUPPLEMENTAL FINDINGS FOR APPLICATION OF "P" MODIFIER
OTAY MARKET SITE
Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 1956.041, the "P" modifying d1strict 15
applied based on the following:
I. The subject property, or neighborhood or area in which the property is
located, 15 unique by virtue of topography, geological character1stics,
access, configuration, traffic circulation or some social or h1storic
situation requiring special handling of the development on a precise plan
bas1s.
The subject property, being basically three-sided and located at the
southwest corner of Broadway and Main Street, is impacted by the traffic
circulation associated with this intersection. It 1s further impacted by
the location of 27th Street on its western boundary. Precise Plan
approval will ensure that development of the parcel considers the various
traffic engineering required for these streets and that safe and adequate
ingress and egress is provided.
2. The property or area to which the "P" modifying district is applied is an
area adjacent and contiguous to a zone allowing different land uses, and
the development of a precise plan will allow the area so designated to
coexist between land uses which might otherwise prove incompatible.
Zoning to the west and east of the subject parcels is Light Industrial.
The precise plan requirement will help create a development that 15
compatible with the existing and future industrial uses by providing
adequate buffers and landscaped areas.
3. The basic or underlying zone regulations do not allow the property owner
and/or the City the appropriate control or flexibility needed to achieve
an efficient and proper relationship among the uses allowed in the
adjacent zones.
The underlying zone of C-T (Thoroughfare Commercial) provides for the
establ1shment of commercial activities catering to thoroughfare traffic.
Typical uses include retail commercial, entertainment, automotive and
other appropriate "highway related" activities. Given the subject
parcel's location immediately adjacent to an industrial zone, not all
uses associated with the C-T zone may be appropriate. The "P" modifier
will allow the owner and the City to consider uses under the Precise Plan
and further detail the types and development of uses consistent with the
surrounding land uses.

BACKGROUND:
Under State law. cities and counties are limited to consideration of no ~re
. than four amendments to the General Plan per calendar year. Each of these
four amendments .~ include more than one change to the General Plan. Council ~,
hIS already acted on one Seneral Plan Amendment this year involving the "
Central Chula Vista Zoning Consistency Study. In order to preserve future
options for considering other pending or proposed general plan amendments
during 1991. staff has scheduled SPA 91-03 (Otay Market) and GPA 90-01 (Kelton
Title Corporation) for consideration as a single General Plan Amendment.
FOllowing this ..morandum are separate agenda statements on each of the two
requests. ~
.
. RECOIItENDATION: It is recommended that Council open the pUblic hearing and
take public testimony on each of the two proposals separately. However. at
the close of the public hearing on the second request. it is recommended that
Council consider both requests as a single action. and direct the City
Attorney to prepare an appropriate resolution reflecting their intended action.
Similarly, Council should provide direction as to the preparation of
ordinances which would implement appropriate rezoning for each of the two
sites. The attached chart summarizes the necessary actions for each of the
two cases.

SUBMlnm BY: Director of Planning HI
REVIEWED BY: City Hanager (4/Sths Vote: Yes-"o-L)
BACKGROUND
This proposal involves an amendment to the City General Plan and the
Montgomery Specific Plan, as wen as a rezoning for the property located at
the southwest corner of Hain Street and Broadway in the Otay area of
Montgomery (Otay Market). Zoning of the subject properties was deferred at
the Public Hearing of November 13, 1990, Harborside -B- Part II, zoning
reclassification of the Montgomery area, because of a zoning and land use
concern raised by the property owner. The request under consideration would
amend the City General Plan from Research and Limited Manufacturing to Retail
Commercial, the Montgomery Specific Plan from Research and Limited Industrial
to Mercantile and Office Commercial, and will rezone the property froll the
City-adopted County zone C-37 (Heavy Commercial) to the City classification
C-T-P (Thoroughfare Commercial, Precise Plan Over1ay). .
The Environmental Review Coordinator (ERC) conducted an Initial Study,
IS-91-33, of potential environmental iRlpacts associated with the proposed
amendments and rezoning. Based on that attached Initial Study and comments
thereon, _ if any, the (ERC) has concluded that this reclassification would
cause no significant environmental impacts and has issued a Negative
Declaration on IS-91-33.
RECCIIIENDATION:
1. Based on the Initial Study and comments on the Initial Study and Negative
Declaration, find that this reclassification and rezoning win have no
. significant environmental impacts and adopt the Negative Declaration
issued on IS-91-33 for the Otay Market rezone.

BOARDS/CCIIUSSIONS RECCIItENDATlON: 80th the' Montgomery Planntng Commtttee
and the Ctty Planning Commission, at th,eir publ1c heartngs on these lIatters
held July 3, 1991, and July 10, 1991 respectively, unanimously reconnended
that the following act tons be-taken:
I. Based on the Initial Study and Negative Declaratton, and comments
thereon, ftnd that these acttons will have no significant envtronmental
impacts and adopt the Negattve Declaratton issued on IS-91-33.
2. Adoption of resolution changtng the General Plan designation to Retail
Commercial and the Montgomery Spectftc Plan designation to Mercantile and
Office Commerctal. -
3. Adoptton of an ordinance changing the zontng classification to the City's
' .C- T -p..
DISCUSSION:
1. Previous Actions
At the November 13, 1990 publtc heartng on the Harborstde 8 Part II area
of the Montgomery Rezontng Program (PCI-90-Q-M), Council directed staff
to prepare a background report on the resolutton of a zoning and land use
concern raised by Mr. Paul Tamayo regardtng his Otay Farms Market. Mr.
Tamayo expressed concern over the ortgtnal Ctty rezontng proposal for the
stte of I-L-P (Ltmited Industrial wtth Precise Plan) which would have
implemented the Research and Limtted Industrial destgnatton on the
Montgomery Spectftc Plan. Under the I-L-P zone, Mr. Tamayo would not be
able to remodel and expand the lIarket whtch has occupied the site under
the County's C-37 (Heavy Commerctal) zone for approximately 20 years.
Mr. Tamayo reiterated the famtly's intent to demolish the existing
lIarket and rebutld a larger one on the 1.35 ac parcel tlnedtately south
of the 0.51 acre site, and to use the smaller site for tncreased parking
needs. He requested the Ctty zone the site cOlDerctal to allow for
expansion and continuation of the existing lIarket.
.
Since the City General Plan as well as the Montgomery Spectfic Plan
desigl!ate the property tndustrtal, and the parcels are wtthtn a Spectal
Study Area of the Montgomery Spectftc Plan, staff was dtrected to
expedtte addressment of that portion of the Study Area necessary to
accommodate Mr. Tamayo's request. The project has been 1111tted at this
time to tnclude only Mr. Tamayo's property since the ..jortty of the
Spectal Study Area surroundtng the lIarket was rezoned to the Ctty I-L-P
zone at the November 13, 1990 heartng. '

Preliminary Conc8Dt Plans
Mr. Tamayo, fn conjunctfon wfth the processing of thfs applicatfon,
provfded the Cfty with pre11minary concept plans for the expansion and
reconstruction of the market. Mr. Tamayo has been .infonned that the
property wf11 IIOst Hkely not support the amount of square footage
fndicated on those plans and that when plans are submitted for the
ultimate project, traffic and circulation impacts will be assessed.
Ultimately, mitigation measures for traffic may be included with a final
project.
Initially, staff and the City Councf1dfscussed a designation of C-C-P
(Central Commercial with Precise Plan). Based on the uses identified on
the concept plans and a review of the zonfng code, staff fs recommendfng
a zone classification of C-T-P (Thoroughfare Commercial with Precise
Plan) for the property. This designation would accommodate the expanded
market and associated uses such as a tortilla factory as presented by Mr.
Tamayo.

4. Existing Site Characteristics
The subject parcels occupy level ground at the corner of Main Street and
Broadway (Beyer Boulevard). The extreme northern corner of the parcel fs
utf1 ized as a car lot. Otay Market is a single story, approximately
8,500 square foot buf1ding located on the remainder of the 0.51 acre
parcel. Approximately 56 parking spaces are marked onsfte. Access is
taken from both Broadway (Beyer) and 27th Street. A flower stand is
located on the lot as well. The 1.35 acre parcel to the south fs vacant,
with a portfon used for storage.
The fntersectfon of Main Street and Broadway is sfgnal ized. There are
signalized left turn. lanes for east and west bound traffic onto Broadway
and for north and south bound trafffc onto Mafn Street. The fntersection
of 27th Street and Main Street does not appear to be located an adequate
distance from the Main and Broadway fntersection. However, the fonner fs
not fully fmproved and left turns onto west bound Main Street will need
to be considered with the ultfmate project.

5. SDectftc Plan
The subject parcels were contatned tn the Harborstde B Part II
subcommunity of the Montgomery Specific Plan. The Specific Plan
designates the property Research and Limited Industrial and identtfies it
as a portion of the Special Study Area located south of Main Street
between Industrial Boulevard and Broadway. As previously stated,' the
aajority of the Special Study Area has been rezoned to I-L-P. The
subject parcel was deferred for the opportunity to consider commercial
zoning consistent with the established ..rket onsite.
ANALYSIS
Several factors support the General Phn amendment, Specific Plan amendment
and rezoning described above:
The Chula Vista General Phn encourages the redevelopment, upgrade and
replacement of older and/or marginal retail uses along Broadway and Main
Street. The existing Otay Market has served the area for the past 20
years. Allowing its expansion and remodel will be consistent with the
General Plan goals.
Surrounding General Phn designations include Retail Commercial to the
immediate north and Thoroughfare Commercial to the northwest. The
proposed amendment will carry the commercial designation in an orderly
manner along Broadway to the limits of the flood phin adjacent to the
southern City boundary.
The Montgomery Specific Phn calls for the rehabilitation and
revitalization of the various neighborhoods in Montgomery. The Otay
Market provides a neighborhood grocery outlet for the residential areas
to the north and east. The proposed specific phn uendment will allow
for its expansion and continued use.
Surrounding Specific plan designations include Mercantile and Office
Commercial to the immediate north and Heavy Commercial to the northwest.
The proposed amendment will relate to these cOllllllercial designations and
create ~ commercial node at the corner of Broadway and Main Street.
The proposed zone reclassification converts the City-adopted County
zoning of C-37 (Heavy Commercial) to the similar City classification
C.T-P, and allows the expansion and redevelopment of the existing aarket.
The precise plan requirement will. ensure that develo~nt of the parcels
provides adequate buffer to the adjacent industrial uses and that the
onsite uses are adequately planned. Supplemental Findings for
application of the .p. Modifier are contained in Attach.nt 1 to this
report.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.

ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing: SPA-90-01, PCl-90-S; Proposal to amend the
Land Use Diagrlll of the City General Plan by redesignation
from .Low-Medium Density Residential (3-6 du/ac). and .Special
Study. to .Retail Commercial., and to change the zoning
classification from .R-l. to .C-C-P., for approximately '3.65
acres of land, located at the southeast corner of East H

SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning bt
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/Sths Vote: Yes-"o...JJ
BACKGROUND
Current ReDuests
The subject General Plan Amendment request for "Retail Commercial" is part of
a Joint application involving a companion request for rezoning of the subject
site from .R-l" (Single-Faml1y Residential) to .C-C-P" (Central Commercial
subject to Precise Plan). The intent of these requests is to allow the
applicant to submit plans for development of a retail convenience center on
the site.
An Initial Study (IS-90-13) of possible significant environmental impacts from
the applicant's profosal has been conducted. The Environmental Review
Coordinator has cone uded that there would be no significant environmental
effects if specific with mitigation lleasures are included, and has therefore
issued a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Addendum. Pursuant to assessment
of alternative land uses, and staff's recommendation for denial of the
applicant's request and approval of a General Plan Amendment to .Professional
and Administrative Commercial", an alternate Negative Declaration, titled
IS-90-13 Negative Declaration Alternate, was prepared. Should staff's
recommendation be followed, the Environmental Review Coordinator has
recommended that the Negative Declaration Alternate for IS-90-13 be adopted.
History
Original "applications to amend the General Plan from .Low-Medium Density
Residential" to "Retail Commercial., and rezone the subject site from .R-l to
.C-C-P", were filed in June 1986 by the same project applicant, Kelton Title
Corporation. In December 1986, the Planning Commission voted to deny the
request. In February 1987, the City Councl1 considered an appeal of the
Planning Commission action, and referred matters back to the Planning
Commission for reconsideration. The amendment application was subsequently
withdrawn by the applicant in May of 1987.
At the July II, 1989, City Council public hearing on the General Plan Update,
the matter of determining an appropriate land use for the subject site arose,
and the Council unanimously moved to have the site placed in a "Special Study
Area. in order that a more comprehensive evaluation of appropriate alternative
'{ -/I
Page 2, It_
Meeting Date 8/27/91
land uses to the existing residential designation occur. . Subsequently, Kelton
Title Corporation submitted their current general plan amendment and rezone
applications for consideration.
RECOIIIENDATlON: That the City Council:
1. Based on the findings and reconmendations of the EnviroJlmental Review
Coordinator, adopt IS-90-13 Negative Declaration Alternate.l
2. Deny the appl1cant's request for a General Plan Amendment to .Retail
Commercial., and rezoning to .C-C-p..
3. Approve an amendment to .Professional and Administrative Commercial., and
rezone to .C-O-P. including the Precise Plan Guidelines attached as
Appendix 3.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: At their July 24, 1991 hearing the
Planning Commission unanimously passed the following motions recommending that
the City Council: .
1. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program prepared
in conjunction with 1$-90-13.
. 2. Adopt a resolution amending the General Plan from .Low-Medium Density
Residential (3-6 du/ac). and .Special Study Area. to .Retail Commercial..
3.' Adopt an ordinance changing the zonfng from .R-l. to .C-C-P. including
adoptfon of the Precise Plan Guidelines.

Meeting D~te 8/27/91
DISCUSSION:
The current proposals are essentially the SIlll8 as those fned in JUly 1986
under GPA-86-6 and PCI-86-E. At that time, the applicant's existing College
Plaza center (located 1400 ft. south of the subject sfte) was not fully
developed and in a state of decline, and the Bonfta Pointe Plaza at. the
northwest corner of East H Street and Otl1 Lakes Road was yet to be bunt.
Additionally, with the General Plan Update underway, and several adjacent
large development projects in thefr inftial phases, concern was that
detenafnation of need for a third nefghborhood retail center .ight be
premature. Staff and the Plannfng Coanission concurred that revftalization
and development of the two centers, respectively, should be prerequisite to
further consideration of establ ishfng additional retan uses in the
Southwestern College area.
Sfnce that tfme,several sfgnfficant changes have occurred which influence
evaluation of the current proposals. These changes include revftalfzatfon of
the 5.29 acre College Plaza, development of the 10.56 acre Bonfta Pointe
Plaza, residential growth in the surroundfng area, and signiffcant policy and
land use changes through adoptfon of the General Plan Update in 1989.
.
With regard to the General Plan Update, in addition to the designation of
substantfal addftional urban development area in the Eastern Territories,
. Section 7.2 of the Land Use Element estabHshed several .Colllllunity Activfty
Centers. intended to provfde a variety of cOlllllunfty support facn fties and
services (see Exhfbft C). The subject sfte Hes wfthin the .Southwestern
Co11ege Activity Center, which includes the area in the vicinfty of the
intersection of East H Street and Otay Lakes Road. The General Plan states,
.CoDl1lunfty Activity Centers are sub-centers of the general plan area that
provfde a varfety of cOlllllunfty support facflftfes and services. They are not
exclusively cOlllllunfty retafl centers and lIay include hfgher densfty
residential, employment, educatfon, health care, recreation and other pubHc
and private servfces.. Spechl consfderation should be given to land use
decisfons wfthfn these centers to ensure that an appropriate land use balance,
diversity anD compatfbflfty exists. This is especfally true of the subject
sfte, given its central location, and adjacency to the college, high school,
and other retafl cOlllll8rcial centers.
As part of the applicant's request, the applicant's planning consultant, P & D
Technologfes (Appendix I), compiled a General Plan goal and objective
consistency analysis. Accordfng to thfs analysis, the principal rationale for
the subject request is that the site is inherently best suited for retan
cOlllll8rctal use because it fronts on two lIajor streets, and is located withfn
an established .Actfvity Center. of the General Plan. The Plan Alendment is
justiffed by:
.
Increased retail needs presented by adjacent residential growth.
Air qualfty improvement resulting froll reduced vehicular travel
given the site's location in proxillfty to residential neighborhoods,
and on the .hOlll8Ward bound. travel route of uny area residents.
Also the site's location at the hub of bus, bike, and pedestrian
routes allows for use of alternate transportation promoted by the
General Plan.
.
...,.. \3

Page 4, It.
Meeting Date 8/27/91
Traffic and resultant noise .ake the site poorly suited for
residential development, and that potential use of walls for nofse
.itigation would render the pl'Olllinent site vfsually inferior, and
conn ict with goals for the H Street and Otay Lakes Road scenic
corridors.' ,
.
ANALYSIS
Genera1 Plan ~ndM@nt
In the report to the Planning Commission, based on the Special Study
examination (see Appendix 2), staff recommended that the applicant's request
for a Retail Commercial Plan Designation be denied 'and recommended
alternatively that the Professional and Adminfstrative Connercial Plan
Designation be applied.
However, the Planning Commission did not agree with staff recommendation, and
recommended the Retail Commercial General Plan Designation. In taking this
action, the COllllllission cited the following conclusions: 1) the Eastern
Territories fs currently underserved by local retatl connercial development
compared to other parts of Chula Vista, 2) the Southwestern College Area needs
additional retatl commercial development to serve neighborhood needs, and 3)
the market for office commercial development is uncertain, and is believed to
, be poor in thfs area. '
In order to clarify staff's concerns on these fssues, and respond to the
points made by the Planning Commission, the fOllowing analysis is provided:

dfrect proportion to the City-wide average. Cumulatively, acreage to
populatfon ratfos are adequate and well balanced, and would not be
sfgnfftcantly affected by the 3.65 acres assocfated wtth the sUbject
proposal.
2. NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS
As Hnttoned, the above acreage to fOPUlation ratios tnclude regional,
communtty, and netghborhood servtng a location rates. In accordance wtth
l.nd use plannfng crtterta documented by the Urban land Instftute (ULI)
and other accepted planning standards, I acre/IOOO populatton ratio has
been used to evaluate the adequate allocation of neiahborhood servina
commerctal use wtthin a servtce area deftned by conventence and access
(generally a 1 to 1-1/2 mtle radtus).
Based upon dfstances to other commercfal centers and accessfbflity
presented by circulatfon patterns, staff performed a neighborhood retafl
needs analysis. The Southwestern COllege Area that would logfcally be
served by an additfonal neighborhood convenience center lies wfthfn a 1
to 1.5 mtle radtus of the East H Street/Otay Lakes Road fntersection, and
fncludes a majorfty of Rancho Del Rey SPA I, all of SPA III, Bonfta Long
Canyon, Bonita Ridge Estates, Encore Bonita, and the larger College
Estates area. The EastLake and Otay Ranch projects were not fncluded as
they are beyond a reasonable nefghborhood service area, and destgnate a
variety of commercial areas within their master plans.
Approximately 5,500 exfsting and proposed dwellfng units were encompassed
within the servfce area, which, based on the 1990 Census average
household sfze of 2.8, represents about 15,400 residents.. The exfsting
16 acres of neighborhood commercial use contained fn Bonita Pointe Plaza
and College Plaza compares favorably wtth the '15.4 acres resulttng from
application of ULI crfterfa and fndicates that needs are and will be
adequately met. Addittonally, both of these centers are convenfently
located fn direct proximity to the subject site, and contain fn excess of
30 retafl establishments providing a well balanced mfx of goods and
services sufficfent to meet local commercial needs fncluding restaurants,
beauty shops, bank, laundromat, drug store, and major grocery markets..
Given ULI allocation standards, and use mixes withfn the exfsting
centers, the need for addittonal convenience retafl fs questionable. A
center of 3.65 acres would not attract a major anchor tenant
complementary to those fn the area, but rather would probably be
comprtsed of mfscellaneous smaller uses similar to those fn the existfng
centers. Such redundancy could lead to future vacancy and/or decline fn
the exfstfng centers.
3. SITE PLANNING ISSUES/SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE ACTIVITY CENTE.R
In additton to the questton of long~term need for a third nefghborhood
retail center fn thfs locatfon, there fs also concern over the creation

Acthity Center. The site's location at the intersection of East H
Street and Otay Lakes Road, in proximity to Southwestern COl1ege and
Bonita Vista High School, ..ans' that the development of this property
wnl have a strong influence on the overal1 character of this acthity
center. Given projected traffic volumes and accessibnity by bus, bike,
and pedestrian systems, this intersection is envisioned to become a busy
public node. As proposed, development of a retail center will result in
juxtaposition of retan and educational uses on the four corners of the
intersection, and create a series of centers in. c}ose proximity along
otay Lakes Road. Whne not expressly prohibited by the General PlIn,
this land use arrangement .ay not be the IIOst desirable for an area
specifically designated to be an important community focal point, with a
diversity ~f civic, business and/or cultural uses.
4. OFFICE CotfoIERCIAL MARKET
Local sources indicate that a recent downturn in the office market is
primarny attributable to unfavorable lending conditions which require
greater developer equity and significant pre-leasing guarantees to obtain
financing. This comes IS an result of overbunding and devaluation of
office conmercial properties caused by the IIOre lenient lending
environment and favorable tax laws of the mid-80's, and impacts both new
ventures and lease-up rates in completed projects. Currently, a fair
amount of office space is available within. Eastern Chula Vista, including
approximately 24,000 square feet in the Bonita Pointe Professional
Building located on the northern edge of the Activity Center adjacent to
Bonita Vista Junior High School. The current tenant, North Island
Federal Credit Union, will be relocating to EastLake at the end of the
year.
While this space, coupled with potential additional office uses al10wed
within a retan conmercial zone, would be adequate to ..et short tern
demands in the area, longer term needs are still in question. As
previously indicated, the level of traffic projected for the intersection
place the site at a strategic conmunity access point. Whne the Bonita
Pointe Professional Building is within the Acthity Center, it does not
serve this predominant focal role. Provision for development of office
or other chic and education uses allowed under the Professional and
Administrative Conmercial designation could be supported by the
additional population, and would be well located to provide I balance of
uses at the Activity Center's core.
CONCLUSIONS
General plan Amendment
Staff reconmends denial of the applicant's request for Retail COBIercial Land
Use designation on this property for the following reasons:
I. Appropriately sized and well sited retan centers either exist or are
p'anned which adequately ..et the needs in the Eastern Territories, and
within the service area of the Southwestern COllege Activity Center. ,

2. Development of this site with . retail commercial center would not
promote the overall character which is envisioned in the General Plan for
the Southwestern College Activity Center.
Therefore, it is staff's recommendation that this site be redesignated in the
General Plan to .Professional and Administrative Commercial., with companion
rezoning to .C-O-p.. I .
Zonina
For reasons discussed above relative to the proposed General Plan llllendment,
staff is also reconmending denial of the app1tcant's request to rezone to
C-C-P, and proposes the C-O-P zone in conjunction with the Professional and
Administrative Conmercial land use designation. The C-O-P zone provides for
land uses which are consistent with those prescribed by the General Plan for
Community Activity Centers.
The precise plan requirements wt11 ensure that development on the site wt11
achieve an efficient and proper relationship with adjacent uses, and is
required to be applied to those properties along scenic corridors such as E. H
Street and Otay Lakes Road. Supplemental findings for application of the .p.
~difier and specific guidelines, contained in Appendix 3 to this report, are
reconmended for adoption in conjunction with the C-O-P zoning for this site.
If the City Council concurs with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission, and redesignates the site to .Retat1 Commercial,. with companion
zoning of .c-e-p., staff would recommend that direction be given to any
specific site planning or design issues which it would like to have addressed
in the .p. modifier guidelines for the site.

APPENDIX 2
SUPPLEMENTAL FINDINGS FOR APPLICATION OF .p. MODIFIER
KELTON TITLE SITE
Pursuant to General Plan requirements for properties on scenic roadways, and
Zoning Ordinance Section 1956.041, the .p. modifying district is applied based
on the following:
A. The subject property, or the neighborhood or area in which the property
is located, is unique by virtue of topography, geological
characteristics, access, configuration, traffic circulation or some
social or historic situation requiring special handling of the
development on a precise plan basis.
B. The property or area to which the P modifying district is applied is an
area adjacent and contiguous to a zone allowing different land uses, and
the development of a precise plan will allow the area so designated to
coexist between land usages which might otherwise prove incompatible.
C. The basic or underlying zone regulations do not allow the property owner
and/or the city appropriate control or flexibility needed to achieve an
efficient and proper relationship among the uses allowed in the adjacent
zones.
In this instance, the site's location at the corner of two future six-lane
designated scenic roadways, and adjacency to Bonita Vista High School,
Southwestern College, and the Latter Day Saints church present unique
circumstances for which the proposed underlying zone regulations would not
allow the City appropriate control. In order to achieve an efficient and
proper rel at ionshi p among adjacent uses, and ensure compat i bl e coexi stence
between the proposed retail center and existing school uses, the Precise Plan
guidelines to be attached to the property shall include:
1. The architectural design theme of any proposed development shall be
compatible and harmonious with those of adjacent land uses, and create a
high quality public image consistent with intents for the Southwestern
College Community Activity Center.
2. Building facades and roof lines facing streets and parking areas should
be consistent throughout the development in design, colors, and materials
so as to create a unified appearance for the total development.
3. The setback established along both Otay Lakes Road and "H" Street shall
be not less than 25 feet for any building or 15 feet for any parking
area. Setbacks for any buildings over 25 feet in height shall be equal
to the setback from the front property line. The minimum setback from
the radius of the corner shall be 60 feet with the distance measured
perpendicular from the corner radius.
4. Pedestrian-oriented areas shall be enhanced through the use of a
combination of textured paving, benches, sculptures, and landscaping.
5. Prior to the issuance of any building permits for said development, the
applicant/owner (or their successors in interest) shall enter into an
'1- l~
agreement with the City establishing Conditions, Covenants, and
Restrictions (CC&R's) to prohibit the following general uses either
allowed or conditionally allowed in the .C-C. zone which are considered
incompatible with adjacent land uses: liquor stores, bars and cocktail
lounges, night clubs/dance clubs, cigar/cigarette stores, pool halls,
card rooms, amusement centers/video arcades, and money exchanges/pawn
shops. Restaurants serving liquor in conjunction with a food operation
shall be considered as an acceptable land use. Any costs incurred in
administration of these CC&R's shall be born by the applicant.
6. A maximum of two driveway accesses may be provided on both Otay lakes
Road and East H Street.
7. The minimum distance of any driveway access from the intersection of Otay
lakes Road and East H Street, as measured from the property lines, shall
be 200 feet.
8. Pad buildings shall be restricted to no more than one drive-thru
establ ishment.

REVIEWED BY:
On July 24, 1990, Council approved Resolution 15735 expressing willingness to
fund the City's portion of the cost for Phase I of I-80S and Telegraph Canyon
Road interchange improvements. Thi s act i on was necessary to enabl e Ca lTrans
to complete their project report and obtain State funding approval. The
project report is completed and CalTrans is now prepared to proceed with the
project.
The cooperative agreement presented here ident i fi es des i gn, construct i on and
funding responsibilities. The City's share of the total cost is $338,000
i ncl ud i ng staff charges. The subject project is i dent i fi ed in the City's

of the
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed improvements at I-80S and Telegraph Canyon Road interchange is
i dent i fi ed as a Transportation DIF project in the Ci ty' s Capital Improvement
Program. It was a requirement of the tentative map for Sun bow II Subdivision
that all the funding for the proposed project be advanced by the developer for
future credit aga i nst the Transportat i on DIF. Staff requested the funds from
the developer of Sun bow II development. Unfortunately, the Sunbow Subdivision
development has not proceeded as expected because of funding problems. Staff
has discussed this funding situation with the developers of Sunbow II. They
advise us that they anticipate getting the funding problems straightened out
in the near future and that they will be obtaining a 9rading permit as soon as
that is done. The developer also advised us that they would be able to put up
the funds for this project at that time.
In the meantime, CalTrans has completed their study at the City's request and
has received funding approval for their share of the cost. State funds may be
rea 11 ocated if they are not expended for the subject project. Ca lTrans has
advised us that if their funds are not committed by December 1991, they would
not 1 i ke ly be rea 11 ocated. In order to assure that thi s project moves ahead,
we are recommending advancing the funds from the DIF account.

The proposed improvements at the 1-805 and Telegraph

Canyon Road and other minor ramps improvements.
divided into two phases.
Canyon Road interchange
south side of Tel egraph
These improvements are
Phase I improvements include signal izing the southbound to westbound off-ramp
and eastbound to southbound on-ramp intersection. In addition to signalizing
the intersection, some minor road and drainage improvements are needed with
Phase 1. Phase I improvements, because it is identified by CalTrans as a
safety project (a now need), will be shared equally by the State and the
City. Exhibit A of the agreement identifies both the State's and City's
cost. The estimated project cost is $297,000 for each agency and the exhibit
includes an additional 10 percent for contingencies on the City's share. With
certain exclusions, the City's maximum cost of Phase I is, therefore, $326,700
plus $11,300 for City staff time cost. This total of $338,000 is exclusive of
cost overruns, attorney's fees and claims plus any unanticipated public and/or
private utilities that may need to be protected, relocated or removed. Since
all costs are to be shared equally by the City and CalTrans, the State's final
cost will be identical to the City's cost.
Phase II improvements will cons i st of wideni ng under the 1-805 bri dge to
provide an additional eastbound lane. Phase II improvements, because its need
is primarily due to growth, will be funded entirely by the City through the
Transportation DIF program. This phase is also the responsibility of Sunbow
to construct. The estimated cost is $983,000. Phase I and II improvements of
1-805 and Telegraph Canyon Road interchange are identified in the City's
Transportation DIF program.
Because of the City resolution expressing willingness to fund the City's
port i on of the subject improvement and our interest in proceedi ng with thi s
safety improvements, staff is recommending that Council approve the agreement
and allocate the necessary funds out of the Transportation DI F account for
Phase I improvements only. Phase II will be done later. All other road
improvements in the Transportation DIF account that were to be completed prior
to SR-125 are either completed or committed. Therefore, the DIF funds on hand
may be temporarily allocated to this project.
Allocating funds out of the Transportation DIF account will not relieve Sunbow
from funding this project. Sun bow will be required to reimburse the DIF
account at the time they pull a grading permit for their development.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are suffi ci ent funds ava i lab 1 e in the Transportat i on
DIF account. Recent savings in the DIF account from a low bid (25% below
Engineer's estimate) on the Telegraph Canyon Road Phase III construction
between Apache Drive and Rutgers Avenue are available for this project. The
City DIF cost of this project is expected to be approximately $338,000
including staff time (621-6210-TF225).

FN Projects, Inc. (Baldwin Company) has submitted a petition requesting
assessment di stri ct fi nanci ng of infrastructure improvements for thei r Salt
Creek I residential development. The owner has also submitted a map showing
and describing the boundaries of the proposed district. Certain improvements
are located outside the City boundary necessitating the request for consent
and jurisdiction from the County of San Diego. Because of the complexity of
the proceedings and time constraints, the owner has requested that Thomas O.
Meade be retained as project manager for the district. The current agreement
with Municipal Financial Services, Inc. is being amended to delete the project
management services.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolutions as listed in the title hereto.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On April 2, 1991, by Resolution 16115, the City Council approved an agreement
with FN Projects, Inc. (The Baldwin Company) in which they agree to provide
for all the funds to pay consulting, administration and appraisal expenses for
the formation of the District. Following, on April 2, 1991, by Resolution No.
16116, the Council approved an agreement with Muni Financial Services, Inc. to
perform assessment engineering and project management services associated with
the proceedings.

The Salt Creek I development is a residential project of approximately 550
dwelling units located at the intersection of East 'H' Street and SR 125. The
developer is required to construct East 'H' Street to full six-lane width
through the development. Both East 'H' Street and SR 125 are a part of the
Eastern Territories major street system and are included in the Development
Impact Fee (DIF) program for the area. In addition, two collector streets,
Proctor Valley Road and Mt. Miguel Road, an off-site sewer, major water
facilities, and storm drain improvements will be constructed.
FN Projects has submitted a petition to the City requesting assessment
district financing, pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, of
approximately $5.0 million in public improvements. Staff has reviewed the
petition and has determined that it meets the requirements of the Streets and
Highways Code and recommends acceptance by Council. An acquisition type
proceedings is proposed wherein the developer will construct the improvements
and the City would acquire them upon completion, which is estimated to be
early 1992. A map showing the proposed boundaries of the district has been
also submitted to the City. The map has been reviewed by staff and has been
found acceptable and its approval by Council is hereby recommended. A reduced
copy of the map (Attachment "A") is attached to this report.
The developer has indi cated that marketing of the homes in the development
will begin about October 1, 1991 and has required that the assessment district
publ ic hearing be completed by that time to allow accurate disclosure of
assessment information to prospective homebuyers.
The assessment district proceedings is complicated by the necessity to obtain
consent and juri sdi ct i on from the San Diego County Board of Supervi sors to
1 evy assessments for improvements constructed in the County. Proctor Vall ey
Road and the off-site collector sewer are all, or in part, located in the
County. No assessments are proposed to be levied to land outside the City
boundary. The off-si te sewer wi 11 belong to the Ci ty, however, the street
will be partially in the County until it is annexed to the City in the
future. Consent and juri sdi ct ion must be granted by the Board prior to the
City beginning the public hearing process.
The approval of the proposed Resolution of Intention does not constitute the
formal action of the City Council declaring the intention to order the
installation of improvements for the subject district. Its purpose is to send
a clear indication to the County about the intent of the City to form the
district and the extent of the proposed improvements. A copy of the approved
resolution requesting consent and jurisdiction will be transmitted to the
County along with all supporting information.
As a result of the short time available to carry out the consent and
juri sdi ction and subsequent publ ic heari ng processes, FN Projects has
requested that Thomas Meade be retained by the City as the project manager for
the entire proceedings. Originally, Municipal Financial Services, Inc. (MFS)
was hired to perform .project management" and "assessment engineering"
activities. Staff concurs with the owner's proposal and considers that Mr.
't..lJ
1', ~
Page 3, Item \ \
Meeting Date 7/23191
Meade's participation would expedite the proceedings. Mr. Meade has
substantial assessment district management experience and has been hired as
project manager for several similar projects in Chula Vista. He is very
familiar with the consent and jurisdiction process. Mr. Meade will be paid on
an hourly basis, not to exceed $16,000. MFS, which would be retained as
assessment engineer, has agreed to the retention of Mr. Meade and has
submitted an amendment to their existing agreement deleting all project
management service. The reduction in the agreement amount is $9,350 which is
based on an original $12,850 for project management services less $3,500 for
services already provided. Staff has reviewed the proposed amendment and
recommends approval by Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: None to the City. The County does not charge for their cost
of processing the consent and jurisdiction request and FN Projects will
provide for all the funds to pay for the project manager consulting cost.

improvements under the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. The General administration
of this District will be undertaken by the City of Chula Vista and all official actions will be
made by the City Council.
The Baldwin Company has previously submitted a tentative subdivision map known
as Salt Creek I, Chula Vista Tract 89-13 for 130 acres located at the northeasterly and
southeasterly quadrants of East "H" Street and the proposed State Route 125.
A Final Environmental Impact Report for the development, EIR 89-9, has been
processed and approved by the City Council. Additionally, the City Council has approved
the tentative subdivision map for Salt Creek I, Chula Vista Tract 89-9 for which Maps
12827, 12828 and 12829 have subsequently recorded.
Salt Creek I is included within the Development Impact Fee, Eastern Territory, 1991,
which directs that specific infrastructure be provided to mitigate area deficiencies. Those
specific facilities built by Salt Creek I shall be noted within this report and identified with
Section "C" of the Cost Estimate Section. The DIF, as set by the DIF Report per
Residential Category, shall be incorporated and additive to the final assessment district
lien. For this district, the DIF Facilities to be incorporated are those directly related to the
grading, street improvement and landscaping of East "H" Street from East Lake Drive to
Mt. Miguel.
The cost of the acquisition of these improvements and incidentals and the DIF is
assigned to every parcel of land within the District that has received an improvement or
has benefitted by the improvement. The level of benefit varies according to land use and
utilization of the improvements funded.

MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2431 (amending Ordinance No. 2251), the Development
Impact Fee (DIF) as it relates to the funding of transportation facilities in the City's eastern
territories has been given a value per development type. Financial and engineering
studies, and the City's General Plan show that the transportation network in the Salt
Creek I area will be adversely impacted by new development unless new transportation
facilities are added to accommodate an increased traffic generation.
Mitigating facilities, as defined within the Eastern Area Development Impact Fee for
Streets, Final 1990 Revision, are being constructed within the Salt Creek I project area.
Only those eligible DIF facilities within Assessment District No. 90-1 and their respective
costs shall be included within the assignment of the final spread to the parcels within the
boundary of the District, the remainder goes to DIF credit.

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 90-1
(SALT CREEK I)
CITY OF CHULA VISTA
METHOD AND FORMULA OF ASSESSMENT SPREAD
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to
the provisions of the "Municipal Improvement Act of 1913", must be based on the benefit
that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify
the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district
proceedings. This responsibility rests with the Assessment Engineer, who is retained for
the purpose of making an analysis of the facts in determining the correct apportionment
of the assessment obligation.
Upon completion of this apportionment of obligation, the Assessment Engineer
makes his recommendation at the public hearing on the Assessment District, and the final
authority and action rests with the City Council after hearing all testimony and evidence
presented at the public hearing. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council
must take the final action in determining whether or not the assessment spread has been
made in direct proportion to the benefits received.
It is first necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvements will render
to the properties within the boundaries of the assessment district. The overall benefit
derived by the properties within the proposed boundary of the assessment district is the
construction of the public improvements, which will enable the properties to develop. The
public improvements have been previously itemized within Part II, Estimate of Costs and
relate to the following:
1. East "H" Street from Eastlake Drive to Mt. Miguel Road.
2. State Route 125 bisecting the Salt Creek I Project Area.
3. Mt. Miguel Road from its terminus approximately 1500' south of East "H" Street, north
to Proctor Valley Road.
4. Proctor Valley Road from Mt. Miguel westerly and northerly out of Salt Creek I into the
County of San Diego.
5. Main Infrastructure Water, Sewer, Reclaimed Water and Storm Drain traversing and
serving single family residential, town homes and condominium areas within the
boundary of the District. (Reference Exhibits A, S, C & D for infrastructure locations
in the Appendix.)

Project No.3: State Route 125 (SR 125)
Project No.8: Storm Drain System
It is proposed that SR 125 and the Storm Drain System (Exhibit "D") be financed
by the assessment district against parcels which receive the special benefit from the street
related improvements. The amount of the assessment against each parcel is directly
related to the average daily traffic generation or the usage of the streets indicated on
Table NO.1. Justification of the need for these improvements is contained in the
development project's Environmental Impact Report, tract map conditions, the
Transportation Phasing Plan for the eastern territories and Eastern Area Development
Impact Fee (DIF).
State Route 125 is a major transportation facility required for construction to
provide a circulation system which will accept the cumulative number of trips generated
by new development in the eastern area of the City of Chula Vista. Through the
construction of East "H" Street (DIF) and State Route 125, another link in the overall major
street network is completed, thereby providing additional capacity in the overall circulation
network.
The Storm Drain System for these major transportation facilities has been allocated
from a storm drain system designed to mitigate the storm water generated from the Salt
Creek Ranch. The Storm Drain System specifically serving East "H" Street has been
allocated by Wilson Engineering in their Salt Creek I report entitled Cost Sharing Ana/ysis,
August 1991. The Wilson report itemizes the entire area to be served by the proposed
15
q~t/IJ
The assessment method and formula is based on the ultimate land use confirmed
by approved Salt Creek I Tentative Tract Map, Tract Map No. 89-9, and recorded maps
for Unit 1, (Map 12827, 91-292094), Unit 2 (Map 12828, 91-292095) and Unit 3 (Map
12829, 91-292096).
The properties within the assessment district boundary are currently under
development. Because of the interrelationship ofthe various public improvements needed
for development, the assessment district funding and construction mechanism is an
efficient way to fund and construct the improvements.
Soread Methodoloav
Project No.1: Project Grading
Project No.2: East "H" Street
East "H" Street and State Route 125, together with these other major streets are
included within the City's Development Impact Fee program, a program for financing the
major streets in the eastern area. The total eligible DIF was quantified to be $1,326,816.00
(Page 6).
Project No.1 grading and Project No.2 for East "H" Street is eligible within the DIF
(refer to Estimate of Costs, Project No.2). The DIF cost and the District allocation costs
attributed to Proctor Valley Road and Mt. Miguel Road, since their inherent benefit to the
future parcels is essentially to that of providing transportation facilities.
The benefit to the properties within this program is that through each property's
participation, it attains its share of capacity in the eastern area circulation street system.
Since these facilities are a part of this program, we are applying the same methodology
for benefit that was used in the formulation of the Development Impact Fee program.
Therefore, the assessment levy against each parcel equals the amount of the
Development Impact Fee.
The above will be spread upon the average daily traffic generation rates and
equivalent dwelling unit factors as established by the DIF Transportation Program within
Table 1, as follows:

system and its percentage allocation to those benefitting properties within the Salt Creek
I Project Area which is coterminous with the boundary of the District.
The Estimate of Costs, contained hereinbefore, reconciles the Development Impact
Fees for eligible DIF infrastructure. Other items of construction and incidentals which
were not eligible for OIF credits were made a part of this assessment district. Those
costs are to be spread to the properties benefitted using the ADT factors as noted in
Table 1.
The addition of applicable incidentals and financing costs were added to the OIF
for a total spread amount to the properties participating in the DIF.

Project No.4: Water System
The Water System is comprised of two pressure zone areas --710 and 980, as
defined by Wilson Engineering in their Salt Creek I report entitled Cost Sharing Analysis,
August 1991. The Wilson report itemizes the entire area to be served by the proposed
water system and its percentage allocation to those benefitting properties within the Salt
Creek I Project Area which is coterminous with the boundary of the District. Therefore,
the construction cost for the water system has been assigned to these benefitting areas
by their allocation percentage (Wilson Report, page two, within Appendix). Only those
costs assigned to the District are to be spread to the benefitted parcels.
Historical water demand factors for the land uses within the District have previously
been translated to Equivalent Dwelling Units the NBS-Lowry Water Subarea Master Plan,
February 23, 1990. The following shall serve to assign the assessment for the Water
System:

Project No.5: Reclaimed Water
The Reclaimed Water System to be included in the District consists of only the 16-
inch reclaimed transmission main. The total system consists of both 8-inch and 16-inch
transmission mains. These facilities are located within East "H" Street, Proctor Valley
Road and Mt. Miguel Road. As with the Water System, the costs of this project have
been allocated between the District and other benefitting areas. Per page four of the
Wilson Report --as previously cited-- the cost sharing for the Reclaimed Water Facilities
are defined as applicable to the District.
The utility of this system is of benefit to the entire District area for its erosion,
irrigation and landscape maintenance. Since the Reclaimed Water System will serve vital
erosion control and appurtenant slope maintenance, in combination with the landscaping
amenities, the spread allocation will be the same methodology used for the roadway
projects. This benefit assignment will be based upon trip generation assignment by land
use as defined in Table 1.
Project No.6: Sewer System
Project No.7: Offsite Sewer - Proctor Valley Road
The number of units benefitting from the Salt Creek Ranch were estimated based
upon the latest SPA Plan and confirmed by recorded maps within the Salt Creek I area.
As with the Water System and the Reciaimed Water System, the Sewer System proposed,
including the variable diameter Offsite Sewer proceeding from the District Boundary
northerly within Proctor Valley Road into the County of San Diego, has been allocated
as it serves and benefits the District. Only those costs allocated to the District shall be
spread to the benefitting parcels.
Historical wastewater generation factors for the land uses within the District have
previously been translated to Equivalent Dwelling Units in the NBS-Lowry Wastewater
Subarea Master Plan, May, 1990. The following shall serve to assign the assessment for
the Sewer System:
Land Use Tvpe
EDU Assianment
Single Family Residential, Detached
1.0 per Dwelling Unit
Townhouse, Residential
Condominium, Residential
0.8 per Dwelling Unit
0.6 per Dwelling Unit
The cost of incidentals has been spread proportionately over the various
improvements in the direct proportion that the improvement bears to the total cost of
improvements for both the DIF eligible and non-DIF eligible improvements.

In conclusion, it is my opinion that the assessments for Assessment District No.
90-1 are spread in direct accordance with the benefits that the land within the district
boundary receives from the works of improvements.

Pipe sizes and water demand factors for the 980 system were taken from the NBS
Lowry Waler Subarea Mosler Plan, February 23, 1990. The Black and Veatch Otay
Waler District Benl!fil Anolysis, April 16, 1990, was used in conjunction with the
NBS Lowry Report to determine the extent of oversizing in the system. Funding for
the 980 system through Assessment District 90-3 includes the installation cost of the
minimum sized pipe necessary to service the EastLake Development only.

Water and Sewer Facilities
The following table provides a summary showing the Salt Creek I percent share
in the water and sewer facilities based on the total number of units benefitting
from each facility.
The number of units benefitting from Salt Creek Ranch were estimated based
on the latest SPA Plan. As indicated in the table, Salt Creek Ranch is the only
property which is anticipated to benefit from the onsite gravity sewer facilities.
However, both Salt Creek Ranch and future properties north of Salt Creek I,
"Others", will benefit from the offsite Proctor Valley sewer and the water
facilities.
Information regarding the benefit area of the offsite Proctor Valley Sewer was
obtained from the "Proctor Valley Basin Gravity Sewer Analysis for the Salt
Creek I Project" dated January 31, 1991, and prepared by Wilson Engineering.
The benefit area of the water facilities was separated between the 710 Zone and
980 Zone. This is done because the two water service zones benefit different
areas. In order to determine the number of units benefitting from the proposed
water facilities, an area north of Salt Creek I within the Otay Water District
was planimetered to determine the acreage within the 710 and 980 Zones. From
this acreage, the City of Chula Vista General Plan was used to estimate the
number of units in each zone; a map and the calculations estimating the units
are included in the appendix.
Finally based on the total number of units benefitting from each facility, the
percent share by Salt Creek I was determined.

Reclaimed Water Facilities
The reclaimed water facilities to be included in the assessment district consist
of 8 and 16-inch reclaimed water transmission mains. For purposes of
determining the percent share of these facilities attributable to Salt Creek I, an
oversizing methodology was utilized. At this time, there is no accurate way to
establish the benefitting areas outside of Salt Creek I based on the projected
demand.
The oversizing methodology calculates the Salt Creek I share for all
transmission mains greater than 8-inches in diameter based on the unit
construction cost; the unit construction cost for 8-inch ACP class 200 is $21 per
lineal foot and 16-inch ACP class 200 is $35 per lineal foot. The following table
summarizes the reclaimed water facilities cost sharing analysis.

Storm Drain Facilities
The McIntire Group, Inc. provided the information to determine the cost split
of storm drain facilities. The calculations in the appendix present the cost
estimate of stor'm drain facilities required for East "H" Street without the
development of Salt Creek 1. The following table provides a cost comparison
with the estimated construction cost of the proposed facilities (with Salt Creek
I):

It is our recommendation that the Salt Creek I percent share for the water,
sewer and storm drain facilities established in this letter-report should be
applied to actual construction costs for the proposed facilities. The estimated
construction costs are provided as informational purposes only.

SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
This item was continued at Council's request for one week from the
meeting of September 9, 1991, in order to provide the full Council
opportunity for discussion if desired.
Following a Public Hearing on September 15, 1987, the Chula vista
city Council granted a cable television franchise to Ultronics,
Incorporated pursuant to Article XII of the City Charter.
Subsequently, on June 13, 1989 the City Council approved an
assignment of the Cable Television Franchise from ultronics to
Chula vista Cable.
section 5 of the Franchise Agreement requires the Grantee (Chula
Vista Cable) to pay to the City a sum of 3 percent of the total
gross receipts of the Grantee on a quarterly basis. In a March 21,
1991, agenda report to the City Council regarding trenching fees,
staff also indicated that Chula vista Cable was in arrears in
payment of its franchise fees and was asserting that the amount
paid by Chula Vista Cable in possessory interest taxes to the
County of San Diego should offset the franchise fees due the City.
Staff disagreed with that position and has been meeting and
negotiating with Chula vista Cable since that time to resolve the
issues.
The proposed Settlement Agreement, Release and Modification before
the Council tonight establishes a payment schedule for past due
franchise fees from Chula vista Cable and makes it clear that
possessory interest taxes are the sole responsibility of Chula
vista Cable.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council adopt the Resolution approving the Settlement
Agreement, Release and Modification with Chula vista Cable.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable.
JP-/
Page 2, Item /0
Meeting Date 09/17/91
DISCUSSION:
Franchise fees are 3 percent of Chula vista Cable's gross revenues
and payable to the City on a quarterly basis. The last payment of
franchise fees received from Chula vista Cable was in December,
1990 and represented the two quarters ending June 30, 1990. No
payments have since been received and franchise fees are due in the
amount of $15.045.19 for the balance of calendar year 1990 and the
quarterly estimated payment that was due June 30, 1991. The
Franchise Agreement calls for additional payment equal to one
percent of the amount due for each month during which the franchise
fee is due and unpaid, as interest for loss of use of the money
due.
Chula vista Cable's reason for non-payment was an assertion that
the possessory interest taxes paid to the County of San Diego by
Chula vista Cable should be an offset against the franchise fees
due the city. The issue of possessory interest taxes is not
addressed in the original Franchise Agreement and that has created
some question as to who bears responsibility for payment, although
the City Attorney believes the exposure to the City is minimal
based on the admission of the President of Chula vista Cable that
he had knowledge of the possessory interest tax issue prior to
entering into the Franchise Agreement.
Settlement Aqreement. Release and Modification
In order to settle the disputed issue of payment of possessory
interest taxes offsetting City franchise fees, the proposed
agreement provides Chula vista Cable a six month time schedule in
which to pay past due franchise fees. In return, Chula vista Cable
will accept an amendment to the Franchise Agreement making clear
that the responsibility and liability for payment of possessory
interest taxes lies with the Franchisee (Chula vista Cable).
The main points of the proposed agreement are as follows:
1. The amount of franchise fees past due is $15.045.95. Chula
vista Cable agrees to pay the above amount in six monthlv
installments of $2.057.66 each beginning September 15. 1991.
Interest is waived as long as the installments are received on
or before the due date. If the payment schedule is not met,
then the remaining balance will bear an interest rate of 12
percent per annum.
2. The Franchisee (Chula vista Cable) accepts sole responsibility
for payment of any property tax, including but not limited to
possessory interest tax.

3. Quarterly installment payments required by the Franchise
Agreement, due September 30 and December 31, 1991, in the
amount of $4,862.19 each, will be paid in addition to the
monthly installments.
4. 'rhe City will consider a "cable billing presentation policy"
to be uniformly applied to all cable operators. This relates
to billing format and the delineation of governmental taxes
and fees on the customer I s bill. As indicated in an August 15
memo to the city Council, Cox Cable intends to place a
separate line item on their bill for possessory interest tax
beginning with their late September billings. It is also
their intention to combine all governmental taxes and fees
(franchise, sales, copyright, possessory interest) into a
single line item beginning in December, 1991.
Staff has a concern, relating to accountability, regarding Cox
Cable I s proposed change in billing format. This is being
pursued through discussions with Cox Cable. Staff is also
developing a "cable billing presentation policy" which will
apply to both Cox Cable and Chula vista Cable.
Staff believes that the proposed agreement is a fair settlement of
a disputable claim and avoids potential litigation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Under the Settlement Agreement, Release and MOdification, the City
agrees to waive interest on the past due franchise fees. Staff
estimates the interest amount being waived to be approximately
$950, and, in return, potentially costly litigation is avoided.

Now, therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:
A. Duty to .Pay Delinquent Amount.
Operator agrees to pay to city, and city agrees to accept,. the
Delinquent Amount in six (6) monthly installments of $2,507.66
each, commencing the fifteenth (15th) day of Septemper, 1991, and
continuing thereafter on the 15th day of each successive month
until paid in full. Interest thereon shall be waived if said
installments are received on or before the date due. However,
commencing on the date that any such installment is paid after the
due date, and for each installment thereafter due, the remaining
balance of the Delinquent Amount shall bear interest at the rate of
twelve (12') percent from an assumed original due date of March 30,
1991 until actually paid, which interest charge shall be payable on
the due date of the installment.
B. Release of City ~or Tax.

A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor
at the time of executing the release, which if known by
him must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor."

Dear Mr. Christopher:
Enclosed is the Report of Franchise Pees and a check for
$9,265, for payment of the franchise fees. As Mr. Mahone
discussed with you on the telephone, Chula Vista Cable has paid
over $21,000 in San Diego County possessory interest taxes to date.
The County has assessed these taxes for the use of the public
rights of way. Our Franchise with the City of Chula Vista does not
require us to pay this possessory interest tax. It is our position
that this tax is an obligation of the city of Chula Vista. We have
paid this tax and as yet have not taken an offset against Franchise
fees payable.
Chula Vista Cable has not waived any right to claim an offset~
for future franchise fees by the payment of these county taxes. we..)
have always worked with the City to resolve any differences that we
may have. In the near future, we would like to meet with you and
the City Attorney and see if we can find a resolution to this
issue.
. Sincerely,
1ll~~~

TO:

FROM:
John D. Goss, City Manager
SUBJECT: Questions Raised Regarding September 10 Council Agenda
Item Chula Vista Cable
1. List all cities in San Diego County with franchise cable contracts, their
appropriate franchise company or companies, and the term of each cable
franchise (number of years).
Attached is a chart which lists those franchises for cities in the County with
a population of 50,000 or over.
2. Do any of the franchise cable contracts in San Diego County have
provisions regarding "possessory interest taxes?"
None of the franchises for the cities surveyed address the issue of
"possessory interest taxes".
3. When the Chula Vista Cable franchise was granted in 1987, was it
reasonable to include the provisions on possessory interest tax?
The "possessory interest" issue arose, in relation to cable television
companies, during the late 1970' 's and early 1980's.
Since the Chula Vista Cable franchise was granted in 1987, it would have been
appropriate at that time to include a provision regarding possessory interest
tax.
4. On page 9-2, staff indicates that the issue of possessory interest taxes
was not addressed in the original franchise agreement and there is a
legitimate question as to who bears the responsibility for payment.
Please explain.
Section 107.6 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, a copy of which is attached,
provides that a city, when entering into a contract with a private party which
may create an interest subject to a possessory interest tax, must include a
written "disclaimer" in the contract notifying the private party that a
possible possessory interest is being created and may be subject to taxation
("Disclaimer Notice").
ItJ-.2?
Failure to do so does not invalidate the contract. But it gives the private
party a cause of action for damages against the City if he can show that,
without the Disclaimer Notice, he had no actual knowledge of the taxability of
the interest.
We believe that, at the time the Ultronics franchise was granted in 1987, it
was common industry knowledge that a cable franchise was such an agreement
that would give rise to a possessory interest tax. After all, in 1984, Cox
Cable was able to require that the City of San Diego pay for its possessory
interest taxation as a result of their failure to put the "disclaimer notice"
language in the franchise.
However, if Mr. Altbaum can establish that he had no actual notice of the
taxability of the franchise agreement, he could sue the City for the amount of
the tax. If we could establish that Mr. Altbaum had actual knowledge, he
would lose, and be required to pay the tax himself.
The uncertainty of that knowledge is why there is a legitimate question as to
who bears the responsibility for payment of the possessory tax.
5. Why was Chula Vista Cable given an additional 6 months time schedule in
which to pay past due franchise fees? When taxes are due to the IRS, they
must be paid immediately but under protest if there is a pending legal
question. Now the legal issues have been resolved. Why provide an
additional interest free six months to pay the already due franchise fees?
There were several reasons for staff recommending an additional six months
time schedule for Chula Vista Cable to pay the past due franchise fees:
a. Mr. Altbaum indicated it would be a financial hardship for his firm
to pay the total amount due immediately.
b. This was a negotiated item. In return for waiving the interest and
providing a payment schedule, the City resolved a clearly litigable
issue and eliminated any liability for future possessory interest
taxes.
c. There is an interest in keeping at least somewhat of a competitive
situation in order to keep cable rates down.
6. Besides the potential loss of $950 in interest to the City as proposed by
staff, how much cost of staff time was necessary to reach the current
agreement with Chula Vista Cable?
Including full cost recovery, approximately $4,000 of staff time wa spent on
the proposed agreement.

EXCERPT FROM CALIFORNIA REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE
section 107.6. Possessory interest; inclusion of statement in
contract between public entity and private party
that such interest may be created; liability for
tax; damages
(a) The state or any local public entity of government, when
entering into a written contract with a private party whereby a
possessory interest subject to property taxation may be created,
shall include, or cause to be included, in such contract, a
statement that such property interest may be subject to property
taxation if created, and that the party in whom the possessory
interest is vested may be subject to the payment of property
taxes levied on such interest.
(b) Failure to comply with the requirements of this section
shall not be construed to invalidate the contract. The private
party may recover damages from the contracting state or local
public entity, where the private party can show that without the
notice, he had no actual knowledge of the existence of a
possessory interest tax.
The Drivate Dartv is rebuttably Dresumed to have no such
actual knowledae. In order to show damaaes. the Drivate Dartv
need not show that he would not have entered the contract but for
the failure of notice.
(c) For purposes of this section:
(1) "Possessory interest" means any interest described

ITEM TITLE:
Item / I
Meeting Date 9/1779f
Resolution j 1..~lJ.~ Approving Grant Application for San
Diego County's Recycling Technical Assistance Program.
SUBMITTED BY:
Athena Lee Bradley, C?,nservation Coordinator
City Manager.JC:t O~V (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ No"':"'.J
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
On April 26, 1990, the City Council of Chula Vista adopted a policy on recycling
and integrated waste management which establishes a wastestream diversion goal
of 30 percent by 1992. In February, 1991, curbside recycling service was
expanded to all single family residences in the City; in July, 1991, a multi-
material office recycl ing program was establ ished for almost 8],5- City employees
(full-time equivalent).
The City currently has no formal commercial or industrial recycling programs
other than the in-house program for Civic Center employees and the Business
Recycling Outreach Project. The Business Recycling Outreach Project involves the
targeting by City staff of twelve Chula Vista businesses for set-up of in-house
recycling programs. This project, as well as the proposed projects outlined in
this report, will provide a strong foundational basis for the development of the
Citywide commercial and industrial recycling programs. This report describes
three commercial and industrial recycling projects proposed in the City for FY
1991-92 for which County grant funds are being requested.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
Approve reso 1 ut ion for County of San Diego Recyc 1 i ng Techn i ca 1 Ass i stance Program
grant application and authorize City Manager to execute.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Resource Conservation Commission reviewed
this report at its September 9th, 1991 meeting and supported the grant
application, although no formal motion was made. Minutes from that meeting are
attached (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION:
The County of San Diego, through its Recycling Technical Assistance Program
(TAP), has made available $525,000 for this fiscal year to promote commercial and
industrial recycling programs, facilities, and activities. Last year, the City
was awarded a TAP grant of $15,000 to implement the Model Office Recycling
Program and Business Recycling Outreach Project. As Council is aware a multi-
material recycling program was established for all Civic Center offices in July.
As a part of this model program, staff has developed an office recycling guide
\ \.. \
to be d i stri buted to area bus i nesses, and will target twe 1 ve (12) area bus inesses
for set-up of recycling programs.
The Chamber of Commerce and Scripps Memorial Hospital are the first two
businesses to participate in the Outreach Project. It is the intent of staff to
coordinate and expand upon current commercial and industrial recycling activities
in Chula Vista, and to, again, apply for funding from the County's Recycling
Technical Assistance Program.
The following projects are proposed to be developed if the grant is awarded: 1)
Office Recycling Project; 2) Service and Hospitality Recycling Project; and 3)
Industrial Recycling Project and Materials Exchange Bank.
Pro,iect Descriptions
1. Office Recyc I ing Project
This project will expand upon Chula Vista's awarded TAP Grant 1991, Model
Office Recycling Program and Business Recycling Outreach Project, to allow
targeting of twenty (20) additional offices for complete recycling program
consultation. The Office Recycling Guide, developed under the City's Model
Office Recycling Program will also be distributed to additional offices.
Continued development of the business recycling database begun under the
TAP 1991 award will also occur. Additional information on procurement,
source reduction, and recycling collection services distributed.
2. Service and Hospita lity Recycling Project
This project will involve the development of a "Guide for Restaurant and
Hosp ita 1 ity Recyc 1 i ng," focus i ng on spec ifi c waste needs for these
establishments; market specifications required; and collection
characteristics pertinent to these types of establishments.
Vendor lists for recycling equipment and area recycling collection
providers will also be included in the guide. Ten (10) establishments will
be targeted for consultation and program set-up in the City. Restaurants,
bars, and mote 1 s wi 11 be targeted. A bas i c tra ini ng will be deve loped
that can be given to managers and supervisors. Again, both the Guide and
the trainings would focus on specific characteristics inherent in the
service/hospitality industry.
3. Industria 1 Recyc ling Project
This project will involve development of a "Guide for Industrial
Recycling" to include a complete listing of what is recyclable for
industries, specifically demolition and construction debris; vendors lists
for equipment and area processors; material specifications, contaminants,
etc. The focus will be on the South Bay (particularly Chula Vista) for
industrial needs, but list demolition recyclers for all of County.
\\,1-
Marketing tips; procurement; and market development will also be explored.
A Materials Exchange Bank will also be developed in order to survey for
materi a 1 by-products ("wastes") of manufacturing that cou 1 d be ut i1 i zed as
feedstock by other industries. A list of industries that utilize or could
potentially utilize industrial by-products in their manufacturing process,
as well as those industries generating the material wastes will be
developed and distributed. The City will work in conjunction with the
State's new CALMAX materials exchange program, in order to create an even
greater market deve lopment opportun ity for Chu 1 a Vi sta bus i nesses and
industries. A baseline of industries and recycling activities in Chula
Vista will also be established.
Grant Requirements
As required in the previous grant cycle, the City must have adopted waste
diversion goals of 30% by 1992 consistent with County goals. Council policy #530-
01 adopted 4-26-90 regard ing "Recyc 1 i ng and Integrated Waste Management" out 1 ines
the City's intent and recognition of the need for serious waste diversion
activities (see, Attachment B).
It is also required under the County's Technical Assistance Grant Program that
matching funds of 50 percent be appropriated for projects receiving grant funds.
At least 25 percent of these funds must be in the form of cash or capital outlays
("hard match") and 25 percent as "soft match," such as in-kind donation of
services. The "soft match" will be in the form of staff work on the proposed
project (10 percent of the Conservation Coordinator's time).
If awarded the grant, staff will return to Council to accept the grant and
address the approximate $4,260 "hard match." Approximately $3,800 of this
funding request are available and appropriated from monies received from the
County Solid Waste Enterprise Fund in Fiscal Year 1990-91. Since Enterprise Funds
must be ut il ized for recyc 1 ing or compost i ng programs, the use of these funds for
this grant is proper. The remaining matching funds could be taken from the
currently appropriated budget for the Environmental Management Unit or could be
appropri ated from the Waste Management Trust Fund recent ly estab 1 i shed by
Counci 1.
The due date for the grant application submittal is September 27, 1991 by 3:00
pm. A copy of the grant application will be on file in the City Manager's office
as of September 16th. Attachment C is a copy of the cover sheet to be submitted
with the grant application.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action. If the grant
application is approved by the County, any matching funds required which are not
currently appropriated would be the subject of a future City Council
appropriation request.

The meeting was called to order with a quorum at 6:00 p.m. by Chairman Robert Fox. City
Environmental Review Coordinator Doug Reid called the roll.
Present:
Absent:
Staff Present:
Commissioners Fox, Hall, Ghougassian, Kracha, McQuade
Commissioners Ray and Johnson
Douglas Reid, Athena Bradley, and MaryAnn Miller
Also in attendance were representatives of Dudeck and Associates.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
A motion was made to approve the minutes of the July 22, 1991, as presented. It was seconded
and passed. It was clarified that election of officers will be at the next meeting.
1. CHULA VISTA'S CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM OUARTERLY UPDATE
The report given by Athena Bradley included proposal of a maximum of 10 collectors working
in the City so there could be a good monitoring system and yet have open competition. These
haulers would be approved by permit. She stressed the need for monitoring and stated in the
RFP she would make a set of guidelines and would submit the cost estimation of the hauler and
the business would be recommended which would guarantee a price for 1-2 years. Price
gouging could be avoided by setting a level of gross receipts. Monitoring would also enable
businesses to have the same services. The aim is for a separate program for multi-family
dealings with the possible building of a processing facility. With AB 939, the waste must be
reduced. Regarding greens recycling, composting sites at the landfill were suggested.
Commissioners Ghougassian and Fox questioned the need for further staff and whether there is
justification for charging customers.
Response by Ms. Bradley indicated all monies collected would go back into the recycling
program.
Commissioner Ghougassian moved that the Commission consider the material again and, if need
be, come up with a vote on certain issues and submit them to City Council. Jackie McQuade
seconded this motion.
\\-l
RCC
-2-
September 9, 1991
Discussion concerned the constitutionality of monitoring fees. Commissioner Kracha wanted to
make note that the RCC has serious questions regarding monitoring.
Response by Ms. Bradley was that only the grant presentation will be brought to Council and
the Commission will be given more time to review the document and present written
recommendations.
The motion previously made by Commissioner Ghougassian was withdrawn.
2. SCRIPPS EIR lEIR-9O-Q7)
The Scripps EIR report was presented by MaryAnn Miller. Commissioner Kracha abstained
from any vote and staff member Reid stepped down because of a conflict of interest. The EIR
preparers from Dudeck and Associates were introduced.
Commissioner Hall voiced concern on the "G" Street entrance being used as an emergency
entrance because of the noise impact on surrounding residents, though the primary entrance will
be on "H" Street.
Commissioner Kracha stressed the strong need for the medical facility of Scripps because of the
influx of people at EastLake and felt the approval of the EIR was essential.
Phase 1 of the facility is due to begin in 1992, with 10-15 years for fun build-out.
MOTION: Chairman Fox moved that it be recommended to the Planning Commission to certify
the recirculated draft EIR 90-07 as presented. It was seconded and passed.
MOTION: Commissioner Hall moved to recommend no "G" Street access. Chairman Fox
seconded. Discussion included finding of no significant environmental impact, no objection if
not used as a regular access for ambulances, but noise accepted as an impact. If safety is
involved, the Planning Commission will take that into consideration. Vote on the motion failed
on 2-2-1 vote.
3. REVIEW OF NEGATIVE DECLARATIONS:
3a. IS-91-39 - Jogging trailIbicycle path at the west end adjacent to Sweetwater Road and
Willow. Staff member Reid recommended that this be adopted as there is no significant
. impact. It was so moved, seconded and passed.
3b. IS-92-01 - Rancho del Rey - 5 sites designated to have churches or parks. Member
Ghougassian moved that findings are of insignificant impact. Member Kracha seconded
the motion. Passed.

ADOPTED BY:
Resolution No. 15600
DATED: 04-26-90
BACKGROUND
The City Council recognizes the importance of preserving limited and
increasing valuable landfill space, conserving natural resources and
protecting the environment. Public resistance to the expansion of
existing landfills or to the siting of new landfills and resource
recovery facilities is adding to the difficulty in resolving the crisis.
Currently the City of Chu1a Vista generates over 200,000 tons per year of
waste which is disposed of in a County landfill. The San Diego County
Board of Supervisors has adopted a 30% waste reduction goal for all waste
entering County-owned landfills by the year 1992. In addition, recent
State legislation has required that cities establish and implement
recycling and source reduction plans which would achieve a waste
diversion goal of 25% by the year 1995 and 50% by the year 200D. It is
necessary for the City to work cooperatively in achieving the source
reduction and waste diversion goals and optimize the use of the remaining
disposal capacity. That capacity should be reserved only for the
disposal of materials for which there are no viable disposal alternatives.
The recycling of solid waste offers potential for diverting significant
amounts of waste from 1 andfi 11 di sposa 1. Additi ona lly, recyc 1 i ng
programs can be implemented in less time and at a lower capital cost than
traditional solid waste management facilities. However, it is important
to recognize that recycling is oh1y one component of an integrated waste
management system wherein other techniques such as source reduction,
composting, and alternative technologies are utilized in order to reduce
the amount of wastes which ultimately must be disposed of in the landfill.
As such, recycling should play an increasingly important role in the
City's overall integrated waste management strategy since recycling can
divert materials from landfill disposal, conserve energy and natural
resources, preserve open space and create employment opportuniti es. In
developing and implementing a recycling policy, the City Council
recognizes limitations placed on recycling by fluctuating markets,
changes in waste stream composition, and changes in recycling
technology. Therefore, the City's comprehensive recycling program will
continually balance materials recovery goals with cost effectiveness
during the life of the programs.

DATED: 04-26-90
PURPOSE
Because of the many benefi ts whi ch can be deri ved from an effecti ve
recycling program, it is important that a strong "recycling ethic" be
developed and supported by City elected officials, administrators,
planners, and the general public. The purpose of this policy is to
express the City's cOl1l11itment to recycling as an integrated part of an
integrated waste management strategy and to provide guidance to the City
Manager and the City's operating departments in the development and
implementation of the City-wide recycling program.
POLICY
The City Council establishes the following policy concerning a
comprehensive recycling component to an integrated waste management
system whi ch wi 11 be intended to optimi ze the recovery and the reuse of
recoverable resources:
1. Recycling Goal
It is the policy of the City that a comprehensive recycling program
be developed and implemented with the goal of diverting a minimum of
30% of the solid wastes generated in the City of Chula Vista by 1992.
2. Recycling and Source Reduction Plan
a. Public Education
The degree of success in recycl ing programs, as measured by
the level of participation and the amount of materials
recycled, is directly proportional to the quantity and quality
of recycling information disseminated to the public. It is
the policy of the City to actively promote the dissemination
of recycling information to the citizens of the City as well
as to provide incentives to encourage the implementation of
and participation in recycling programs.
b. Public Convenience
It is the pol icy of the City that the convenience of the
public in participating in recycling programs be taken into
consideration in the design of the City's program.

c. Procurement and Market Development
It is the pol icy of the City to encourage the de vel opment of
stable markets for traditional and non-traditional recycled
materials by establishing appropriate guidelines. To this
end, the City will consider factors other than lowest cost
when evaluating product needs which could be met by items
manufactured from secondary materials.
d. Recycl i ng Programs
It is the policy of the City to consider recycling programs as
alternatives to existing solid waste management and disposal
programs, and as such, recycling programs shall not be
expected to operate solely on revenues generated from the sale
of recovered materials. In evaluating the costs of recycling
programs, consideration shall be given to the quantities of
materials diverted from landfill disposal and the marginal
costs of traditional collection and disposal methods.
3. Legislation
It is the policy of the City to support State and Federal
legislation that encourages recycling, removes barriers to
recycling, promotes funding for local recycling programs, or
promotes waste reduction. At the same time, the City will oppose
legislation which would reduce local control and autonomy in dealing
effectively with its responsibilities for integrated waste
management.
4. Recycling Program Review
Staff will report to the City Council on an annual basis regarding
the City's progress in the implementation of the recycling programs
and the achievement of the recycling goals identified in this policy.

Wednesday, Sept. 11, 1991
City Attorney's Hit Letter
James Morgan Sr. and Jr. returned to the J Street dock
by boat from Neptune's Palace at approximately 11 A.M. on
Wednesday Sept. 11, 1991; they discovered that someone had
emptied a sack of trash into their 1989 chevrolet pickup.
A man about 50 who is often seen in the park told Morgan Sr.
that a park employee dumped the trash into the pickup. Jim
Sr. made a phone call to Home Crafts, and then he and Jim Jr.
began cleanings out the pickup, and putting the trash into a
trash barrel; the park employee believed responsible for dumping
the trash into the pickup came running towards the pickup and
ordered us to stop. The employee was abusive and Jim Sr. said
he would call the police and have the matter settled.
Police Officer, C.M. Isabelle, arrived on the scene, and
3 park employees came over and told her that they had a letter
from the Chula Vista city attorney stating that Jim Morgan was
violating the law by depositing trash into any of the 20 barrels
in the J Street parking lot.
Jim Morgan stated that it is obvious that the barrels were
placed near the dock and parking lot for people to deposit trash
into -- then why else would the barrels be there, and why would
the trash be picked up each day by park employees. Morgan also
pointed out that most of the trash in the barrels was deposited
from boats using the launching ramp and docks.
Park employee, Emillio Loredo, maintained that the park
employees had received instructions and copies of a letter to
James Morgan ordering him to not put trash into the barrels
or he would be arrested Emillio told Officer Isabelle to stay
at the scene while he drove to the park maintenance office and
brought back copies that the park employees had received from
the Chula Vista City Attorney; he returned in approximately
15 minutes and showed the letter and a copy of an ordinance
to Officer Isabelle. Jim Sr. said the ordinance applied to
(?.;(/i )-
/' ) /
( ()/"///'II /J/'c~';;:/t//1./
people dumping trash on public property and in no Iway was it
intended to stop people in boats from using the trash barrels.
Officer Isabelle said she would issue a ticket the next time
the trash incident occurred; Jim Sr. said: " Issue me a ticket
now, I will put the trash in a plastic bag and we will test
the city attorney's application of the ordinance in Court".
Emillio Laredo got a plastic bag and watched Jim Morgan place
the said trash into it.
Officer Isabelle was still reluctant to issue a ticket;
therefore her superior officer Don Rhodes was called to the
scene. Officer Rhodes questioned the 3 park employees, Amillio
Loredo, Chris J. Johnson, and John Rubinowski. Jim Sr. said
John Rubinowski was the most obnoxious, and was the one who
ordered him to not place the trash back into the barrel.
Officer Isabelle then issued James Morgan Sr. a ticket
to test the city attorney's letter and ordinance in court.
The following day, Jim Morgan, picked up a bag of trash
someone had left in the park apparently from the day before
and emptied it into a trash barrel. John Rubinowski again came
running over with a tool in his hands and Jim Sr. and Emillio
had words. Rubinowski dug through the trash barrel and showed
Morgan a WD-40 can that was completely empty and had apparently
been rinsed out with water. Emillio said he was going to call
the fire and police departments. Morgan said he could not afford
to waste time like park employees because he had a number of
workers he had to transport to work, but if the fire or police
department wanted to speak to him, he would be back in at
5 P.M.
The following morning, the park workers were not seen around
the J street dock, but at 5 P.M. when Morgan and the workers
returned to their vehicles, Morgan's left rear tire had been
slashed.
Sending copies of the city attorney's letter to people with
the mentality of some park employees was a stupid thing to do;
dumping trash into someone's vehicle could easily have resulted
in a fight, stabbing, or shooting with someone less restrained
than the Morgans.
Sending out copies of the letter is similar to an outlaw
bike gang putting a persons name on a hit list bulletin board
knowing that eager gang prospects would take care of the matter.
All 3 park employees refused to give their names until
ordered to do so by Officer Isabelle.
I would like to appear before you at your next meeting
and present evidence that your fire department was involved
in setting an arson fire and the police department refused to
investigate.
James W. Morgan Sr.

BACKGROUND
When the FY 1991-92 budget was approved by Council, there remained many
questions regarding the impact of the State's budget. That impact has
largely, although not completely, been determined and it is requested that
Council amend the budget to include the correct amounts for salary and benefit
changes, other miscellaneous amendments and, as requested, return to the "Wish
List" to determine if any items should be included in the amendment. In
addition, the Council approved salary increase of 5% for all employees must be
appropriated.
As a result of these adjustments, it is recommended that the originally
approved budget of $49,359,449 be increased to $50,604,992. There are
sufficient estimated revenues to balance this proposed budget.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION N.A.
RECOMMENDATION Adopt resolution amending FY 1991-92 budget.
DISCUSSION
Upon adoption of the FY 1991-92 budget, there remained several open issues
which needed to be resolved. The greatest concern was the possible impact of
the State's budget deficit. The State budget has been approved and an
understanding of its impact on the City of Chula Vista has mostly been
determined, although information is still being pursued on State legislative
action affecting retirement costs (PERS). With that one exception, staff has
determined the actual impact on both revenues and expenditures of all other
adjustments and is requesting that the budget be amended to include the
updated figures. This amendment includes a revision to the revenue
projections for this fiscal year as well as additional changes to
appropriations as a result of salary and benefit increases, program changes
and some administrative corrections.

GENERAL FUND RESERVE BALANCES
After increasing from just over $5,000,000 in 1982 to over $9,100,000 in 1986,
General Fund reserves declined to $6,291,000 in 1988, principally because
money was used for Public Safety Capital Improvement projects and for a loan
to the Otay Valley Redevelopment Project area. Since then, the General Fund
reserves increased to $6,891,489 in 1989 and $7,110,157 in 1990. Beginning
last fiscal year, it was estimated that the fund balance would increase to
$7,257,000 in 1991 based on estimates made prior to the end of the fiscal
year. The Finance Department has now completed closing the books for FY
1990-91, and the actual General Fund balance is $8,824,433. (See Chart A,
General Fund Summary.) While a portion of this increase in the General Fund
reserves is a result of actual expenditures being less than the total General
Fund appropriation ($626,836), most of the increase was the result of higher
revenues in certain revenue accounts than projected.
Specifically, as will be discussed in more detail in the Revenues section of
this report, the City's sales tax originally projected last March to exceed
the budget estimate by $50,000 actually exceeded the estimate by $158,279,
based on strong final months' sales tax returns at the end of 1990-91.
Similarly, plan check fees originally budgeted at $780,000, with a revised
projection of $800,000, actually came in with a very strong end of the year
showing at $948,000. These figures demonstrate that, even though there has
been a recession, and it certainly has impacted some sections of the Chu1a
Vista economy, overall Chu1a Vista has weathered the recession surprisingly
well.
In other revenue accounts, the reimbursement from other agencies was $268,000
over the Finance Department's revised projections, the reimbursement for CIP
projects was $387,000 over the revised projections, and miscellaneous receipts
were $193,000 over revised projections. This is recapped in Chart B which is
attached.
In these revenue accounts, one reason for this variance in projections arises
from the fact that staff time spent on projects is difficult to estimate
during the course of the year. Secondly, a large portion of the staff time
reimbursement to the General Fund for specific non-General Fund projects is
not calculated and recorded until the end of the fiscal year.

To address these problems, one of the new Revenue Manager's main work projects
is to coordinate development and implementation of a reimbursement and project
accounting system to be used by City departments. The purpose of this project
is to develop a formal system that results in more accurate and timely
reimbursements to the General Fund. This should correct this experience of
having substantial variances in revenue projections at the end of the year,
plus, more importantly, provide better cash flow for the General Fund, which
in turn means that the City's investments and revenue income should be
stronger.
The General Fund summary for FY 1991-92, as revised by this information as
well as additional information explained later, is included as Exhibit A to
this report.
BOOKING FEES
One of the problems in approaching the current year budget is how to dispose
of the booking fees issue. As you know, the City along with others, filed a
lawsuit to block the County's ability to charge booking fees to cities, which
would cost Chula Vista $400,000 in the current year. Because of that, and
also because of what appears to be a fairly strong interest on the part of the
State Legislature and the Governor to eliminate booking fees, these
expenditures for booking fees were not included in the current year's budget.
As the State Legislature proceeds during the end of their current legislative
session, it appears less likely that booking fees will be removed this fiscal
year, although it still looks favorable that it may be removed in 1992-93. Up
to now, funds for booking fees have not been budgeted because it could be an
admission that the City was not totally serious in pursuing its lawsuit
against the County. Obviously, this is not the case. It is recommended
instead that a reserve be created out of the City's projected reserves that
would handle that expenditure in this fiscal year. In this way, the City will
have a reserve to pay the expenditure if the City loses the litigation but, at
the same time, it is not part of the ongoing expenditure plan of the City
since there seems to be a positive feeling by the League of California Cities
as well as our own lobbyist that booking fees will not be an ongoing
expenditure in future fiscal years. Also, the billing sent by the County was
actually acted on and transmitted last fiscal year so it probably is
appropriate to take this cost as a separate reserve from the overall General
Fund Reserves of the City.

As you know, the City's largest revenue is its one cent share of the sales
tax. As was pointed out in the transmittal letter for the 1991-92 budget, the
City was projecting at that time slightly more sales tax revenue than was
projected for last fiscal year. Specifically, the City received $10,913,588
in sales tax revenue in 1989-90, which was projected to increase to
$11,650,000 in 1990-91. Through the first nine months of last fiscal year, it
was estimated that the budgeted projection would be exceeded by $50,000. As
it turns out, it came in even higher than that at $11,808,279, or $158,279
over the budgeted estimates. In other words, sales tax revenue grew at rate
of 8.2% compared to a projection of 6.75%.
For the coming fiscal year, it was estimated that the City's sales tax revenue
would increase to $12,250,000. However, in the adoption of AB 2181, the sales
tax was extended to apply to certain previously untaxed commodities, including
bottled water, candy, snack foods, newspapers and certain fuels. As a result
of this extension, it is estimated that the City will receive an additional
$305,000 in sales tax, for a total of $12,555,000, which is included in the
revised estimate for the current fiscal year.
It is also estimated, as regards the City's second largest revenue
property tax, that it will be higher this fiscal year by $150,000.
because the overall assessed valuation of the City is greater than
was originally notified by the County Assessor.
source, the
This is
the City
Even with that increase, there are reductions in the City's revenue estimates
because of actions by the State Legislature approved by the Governor. This
includes a 47% loss in the City's cigarette tax ($108,000) and a 50% loss in
the City's traffic safety fines ($200,000). A combination of the projected
sales and property tax increases, and the revenue losses just mentioned, means
an additional $147,000 in revenues to the City in the current fiscal year.
In addition to these revenue gains and losses, the City's Revenue Manager
position has been filled and currently the Revenue Manager is preparing
revisions and updating the Master Fee Schedule to reflect annual increases in
operating costs as well as investigatin9 new fees with operating departments;
is revising the full cost recovery (FCR) formula and developing separate FCR
formulas for different funding sources in order to maximize revenues and
ensure that reimbursement procedures are established for non-General Fund
transfers. It is estimated that this work will conservatively produce an
additional $300,000 in the course of this fiscal year to the City.
In addition to these adjustments to General Operating Revenues, there are two
transfers into the General Fund which are proposed. One is the transfer of
$43,350 from the Economic Oevelopment Fund to support the additional
expenditure approved by the City Council to support the new Economic
Development Marketing Plan. This transfer represents 85% of the cost of that
fund, with the additional cost of $7,650 coming from the General Fund.
~~
Page 5, Item
Meeting Date
M
9/17/91
The second transfer of $227,750 is from the funds being collected from the new
storm drain fee which will support the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Program. This is a fund that is supported by a new
charge on the sewer bill to underwrite the cost of new mandated Federal NPDES
requirements. This money will support the amount already in the operating
budget which will pay for this year's NPDES Program.
In order to give as complete a revenue picture as possible, and restating
information that was provided to you in a verbal presentation on June 28,
there are two additional revenue sources that are available to support this
year's budget. One would be the transfer of $300,000 from Golf Course
reserves to the General Fund, and the other would be to transfer $526,000 from
the Public Liability Insurance reserves to the General Fund. The Golf Course
reserves are available because, for the past several years, income to the Golf
Course has substantially exceeded the amount needed to make annual debt
service payments on the Golf Course bonds and there are no other claims on
these reserves. The Public Liability Insurance reserves have been determined
by the City's Risk Manager to exceed industry practice of providing reserves
four times the amount of the City's uninsured retention. Currently the City
has reserves six times the amount of the uninsured retention.
While these revenue sources are available, they are not recommended to be
transferred at this time and the balanced budget submitted to you is not
predicated on the use of these funds.
EXPENDITURES
It is recommended that the operating budget supported by the General Fund be
increased from $49,359,449 to $50,604,992. The details of this increase are
outlined in the following paragraphs:
Expenditure Salarv and Benefit Increase
At a special meeting of the Council, a 5% salary increase was approved for
all City employees except Fire and CVEA which had already received a like
increase. Although this increase was approved, the funds were not
appropriated at that time. This action will appropriate the additional
$1,001,235 be appropriated to provide salary and related benefit
increases. This amount includes an additional salary increase of 1.22%
for those employees represented by the Police Officers Association. As
you recall, when the Council adopted the 5% salary increase for all City
employees, it was impossible to determine the exact amount of the POA
salary increase since the MOU provided that it would be adjusted per a
formula based on a survey to be conducted this month. That survey is now
completed and it is estimated that the additional salary increase for the
employees represented by this association is 1.22%. This total also
includes adjustments in the flex plan for employees represented by the
Western Council of Engineers based upon their newly ratified MOU.
1~-7

J~
9/17/91
Finally, a reserve is set aside for possible future adjustments to mid and
executive management salaries. The exact amount would be determined
later by Council when a report based on the Middle Management and
Executive Management salary surveys are completed. Currently, management
is going through a process of survey review and discussion with employees
regarding the surveys and recommendations should be forthcoming to you
within the next month.
MaYor Retirement Adiustment
The former Mayor was not part of the Public Employees Retirement System
(PERS). Since the new Mayor chose to belong to this system an additional
$6,313 is required to be added for retirement which will be offset by a
reduction of $2,000 in Social Security. ADD $4,313
Youth Community Center
In a separate report to be considered by you regarding the operation of
the soon to be completed Youth Community Center, it is recommended that
$118,300 be appropriated for the operation of the Center during the
remaining 9 months of the current fiscal year. If the decision by the
City Council is to have the Boys/Girls Club operate the facility jointly
with the Sweetwater Union High School District, it is estimated that this
amount would be reduced to $58,520. ADD $118,300
Eauipment Replacement Fund
The Equipment Replacement Fund should have been reduced to the level of
the required replacements for this fiscal year. DELETE $454,000
Regarding NPDES equipment, it is recommended that funds be deleted from
General Operations, since they can be purchased directly through the NPDES
fund. DELETE $9,960
Literacy
Literacy program General Fund support can be reduced due to approval of
partial funding through the CDBG program. DELETE $19,350
Employee Benefit Corrections

Recreation Administration was erroneously deleted due to an error
associated with the computer system. ADD $60,010

The major unknown in the City's expenditure plan in the current year is what
the City's PERS obligation will be. At this point, there could be a
significant one time reduction in expenditures related to the PERS retirement
plan. Specifically, the adoption of AS 702 (Frizzelle) eliminated the
"investment dividend disbursement account" and the "extraordinary performance
dividend account" and credits that money in these two accounts back to
employer accounts in the system. Of the total amount in these accounts,
approximately $439,000,000 is attributable to cities. This is a one-time
savings that can be used to reduce or possibly eliminate employer
contributions to PERS for a period of time. At this point, we have not been
informed and, even with persistent contacts, have not obtained information
from PERS regarding the specific amount that would apply to Chula Vista. A
general estimate has been that it could range from $1,000,000 to as much as
the City's total annual contribution to PERS, which is a significant sum
($4,588,050). On the other hand, if it has not occurred already, it is
expected that the labor unions will file lawsuits to prevent PERS from
implementing AS 702.
Even though we do not have, nor do any other cities, any precise figures as to
what the City's one-time expenditure reduction would be, it could result in
significant one time expenditure savings for the City. The options available
to the City would be to either add it to the City's General Fund reserves, or
to spread the savings over several years to assist in balancing the City's
operating budget. As more information is available from the PERS offices, we
will provide this to you along with recommendations on how to treat these
funds.

9/17/91
Another unknown in the City's expenditure plan has to do with a management
staffing issue. It is proposed that two positions in the Management Services
Department be consolidated into one position. The existing Deputy City
Manager/Director of Management Services position and the currently vacant
Information Systems Manager position are proposed to be consolidated into a
new position of Director of Management and Information Services. The current
Deputy City Manager/Director of Management Services would then fill the
currently vacant Deputy City Manager position in the City Manager's Office.
This proposal will eliminate one position in Management Services and reduce
the salary level of the other. This proposal will save approximately $94,000
per year ($74,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year) and this savings
could be used to reduce overall City costs; finance the Council "Wish List",
all or in part; finance part-time Council staff; add a Senior Management
Assistant to Administration or Management Services; or some combination of the
above.
WISH LIST
When the budget was adopted by the Council there still remained three (3)
issues on the "Wish List" which were deferred pending final outcome of the
State's budget. Those issues were requested to be brought back to Council
when the revenue picture was more solid. The issues remaining are:
1. Parks and Recreation staffing
at afterschool programs $ 7,259*
2. Personnel Technician $33,000*
3. Cultural Arts Coordinator $39,000*
*Revised cost for October 1, 1991 to June 30, 1992
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed increase in the General Fund is $1,206,298, which includes all
salary, benefit and other miscellaneous items presented in this report. This
amount, along with budget amendments approved this fiscal year to date, brings
the new budget amount to $50,604,992. (A transparency will be provided to
display additions and deletions to the General Fund proposed budget since July
1, 1991.) Amendments to other funds include a reduction of $454,000 in
Equipment Replacement, $13,010 to the Redevelopment Agency, and $33,550 to the
Storm Drain Revenue Fund.

ITEM TITLE: Report: Chula vista Community Y~;' Center
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Parks and Recreation~fV
REVIEWED BY: City Managerbf (4/5ths Vote: Yes___ NO~)
The Chula vista Boy's Club, a City-owned building, which was
formerly located at the corner of "I" street and Fifth Avenue, was
removed in 1987 as a result of the Chula vista Shopping Center
expansion (a Town Centre II redevelopment project). The Boy's Club
had a nominal rental rate with the City, and functioned as a
recreation center for area youngsters residing in the central part
of the City. When the need was determined for the building's
removal, the Redevelopment Agency made a commitment to the
community to replace the Boy's Club with a new community youth
center in order to continue service to the central city community.
As consideration for the Chula Vista Boy's Club loss of a facility,
the City has cooperated in several areas to the Club's operations.
The City made a loan of $250,000 to the Club on August 19, 1986,
for construction of a new club facility (waiving all permit fees).
The terms of the loan were for repayment in 20 years (at no
interest), starting in the 11th year after completion of
construction. The City donated park land at Greg Rogers Park for
the new Club facility; and donated a van to the Club in 1988, at a
cost of $16,500.
Construction of the youth center is expected to be completed in
early October 1991. In preparation for its opening, City staff has
finalized the remaining elements of the joint use agreement with
the Sweetwater Union High School District and has requested
proposals from local youth and recreational organizations in order
to examine the best options available to meet the youth community's
needs. This report provides an overview of the Department's
analysis of two possible options in determining how the community
youth center at Chula vista High School could be managed and
operated.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept Option #1 whereby
the City would operate the facility in cooperation with the
Sweetwater School District. Other providers including, but not
limited to, the Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA, would offer
programs and services, as space availability and time permits, and
would share in their proportionate cost of utilizing the facility.

unanimously approved and
Option #1 parameters.
at its meeting of September 9, 1991,
supported the City as the operator, under
SWEETWATER UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT RECOMMENDATION: The
Sweetwater Union High School District Superintendent has requested,
in writing, that the City operate the youth facility in conjunction
with the District. Other providers are acceptable as long as they
do not conflict with the original intent of the City/District Joint
Use Agreement or District programming.
BACKGROUND: In 1987, the City Council selected the Chula vista
High School grounds as the replacement youth facility site
(Attachment "B"). On September 1, 1988, Council approved a ground
lease and joint use agreement with the Sweetwater Union High School
District for the city's use of the land and the joint (City/School
District) use of the youth center (Attachment "C").
The ground lease and joint-use agreement between the city and
District is for a 40-year lease period ending September 1, 2028,
with options for an additional 20 year lease. Some of the
significant points of the Agreement are as follows:
The District provides the land for the youth facility at
no cost to the City.
The District will have full use of the youth facility
during school hours. Under mutual agreement of both
parties, the District may also use the facility during
certain after school hours and certain hours of the day
during summer vacation. All uses are subject to City
approval.
School hours are from 7:30 a.m. through 2:25 p.m. Monday
- Friday, September 12 through June 22.
The District shall provide all custodial services for the
subject facility and shall maintain the facility at all
times and make minor repairs. City shall be responsible
for the cost of custodial services for the subject
facility in an amount proportionate to the use by the
[youthfacJ

City or sublessee. In addition, the City will be
responsible for utilities with the School District
reimbursing the City for their proportionate share.
The City shall be responsible for minor and major
improvements to the facilities. The District shall
reimburse the City if any excess wear and tear is
associated with the District's use.
On April 5, 1991, the Redevelopment Agency accepted bids and
awarded a contract to Landex Construction in the amount of
$1,....7,710 to build the community youth center. The total CIP
funds allocated for this project were $1,888,344. Of this amount,
$1,250,000 was provided by Homart, as a condition of the
redevelopment project for the Chula vista Center. The remaining
amount came from the BayfrontjTown Centre I fund. Construction of
the facility commenced on March 18, 1991. The overall project
budget included contingencies, staff time and architectural fees.
The new facility is 17,000 square feet and features the following
amenities: a gymnasium with basketball courts (9,600 sq. ft.), a
dance room (995 sq. ft.), a multi-purpose room (1,907 sq. ft.),
large lobby area (700 sq. ft.), and office space (360 sq. ft.)
(Attachment "D"). The former Boy I s Club on "I" Street was
approximately 14,500 square feet and included a gymnasium with
three multi-purpose rooms.
DISCUSSION: The Department has begun the process to determine
facility uses and operation. In past staff reports of September
13, 1988 and May 16, 1989, the Redevelopment Agency and City
Council were informed that either the community youth center would
be jointly used by the City or its lessees and the High School
District; and there were several options to consider on specific
activities or programs for the new center (Attachments "E" and
"F").
To determine programming interests, the Department distributed a
questionnaire to seven youth serving agencies (Attachment "G"). Of
the seven questionnaires sent out, responses were received from the
Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA and the Chula vista Parks and
Recreation Department. The questionnaire served as a guide in
ascertaining how the services of each respective agency could
compliment one another and avoid duplication of efforts. Finally,
the questionnaire attempted to verify whether the respondents had
the financial ability to share in the considerable operational
costs of the facility.

Two options have been formulated for Council consideration. These
options were explored in order to evaluate preferable programming
arrangements and the potential for financial operational cost
sharing.
OPTION #1
Joint city/School District Operation
That the City operate and oversee scheduling of the facility in
cooperation with the School District. other providers including,
but not limited to, the Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA would be
able to offer programs and services, under a sublease or a use
permit and share in the costs of maintenance/utilities and other
appropriate costs.
Staff Analvsis:
This option is the Department's and School District's recommended
option. It entails the City serving as the lead agency in
cooperation with the school District in scheduling of programs,
especially junior and senior high school age programs, and
overseeing the facility's maintenance as it pertains to repairs and
long term capital needs.
The Department would manage and program the facility with a primary
focus on the Junior/Senior High age group. As this facility is
intended to be a "community" youth center, programs offered by
other community groups would be encouraged, that would provide
programming opportunity for all ages. These groups would rent or
lease the rooms to recover basic costs. The District would use
this facility during the day and other agreed upon times (as
authorized in the Joint Use Agreement). The City would operate the
gymnasium, using its Youth Commission and Junior High Program as a
resource for its programming needs. The City would run a variety
of sport leagues, sports clinics, conduct tumbling and gymnastics
courses, offer drop-in sports opportunities, conduct monthly youth
dances, and offer "say yes to recreation and no to drugs" programs.
When the multi-purpose room and dance room is not in use, the
Department would offer a variety of free and fee classes, seminars,
modeling and cheerleading courses, that would include elementary
age, as well as Junior Senior High programming.
By utilizing the City's Youth Commission as an advisory group,
staff would gather input on the needs of the city's Junior/Senior
High School youth. Programming would be geared to this age group,
whose needs are not fully being met. Because of the Department's
[YOIJthfacJ

J 3 --- "1

Meeting Date
/J
9/17/91
long history of providing quality youth programs, the demands on
Parkway Gym and Community Center have grown. At present, there is
a need to expand existing youth sports programs to the community
youth center. For example, the youth basketball program has hit a
peak capacity of 660 youngsters and the summer leagues are equally
successful. other youth programs in high demand are volleyball,
tumbling and gymnastics, and dance. In total, the Department has
served approximately 900 junior and senior high school age youth.
Of this amount, about 115 teens have been turned away because of
lack of space to schedule additional teams. Furthermore, the
number of youths served in 1991 for drop-in programs has already
exceeded the 1990 attendance figures. In 1990, 7,200 youths were
served on a drop-in basis; whereas in 1991, the Department has
already served over 10,000 youths.
As a method of determining interest and need, staff would conduct
a survey of local junior and senior high school students to
determine their program interests. The Department operated a pilot
program at Chula vista Junior High School and Bonita Junior High
School during the months of June, July and August, to determine the
interest of this age group. The program was highly successful and
showed the special needs of this age group.
A Youth Advisory Council, comprised of junior and senior high
school students could be established to determine, on an on-going
basis, youth needs. Staff believes that recreation and after
school programming for the junior and senior high school students
is a critical recreation element that is not fully served by
existing providers (including the city of Chula vista). Staff
hypothesizes that the new community youth center could be
programmed and fully utilized at 100% of its capacity for youth
programming, and still not fully meet the anticipated junior/senior
high school program needs. It is staff's opinion that the needs of
the junior and senior high school students would not be fully
served if the District assumes a co-operator role with another
agency/entity other than the City of Chula vista.
Staff recognizes that space for programming by other providers,
including the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club, is expensive to
acquire and not readily available. On the subject of programming,
it is staff's view that several activities offered by different
organizations could co-exist and provide opportunity for a larger
focus group. Currently, the City's community centers operate with
multiple users that provide diverse program offerings. For
example, senior service providers offer programs at Norman Park
Center; the City engages each year in a joint basketball program
with the YMCA; and the Sweetwater Union High School District offers
[youthfacJ

Meeting Date

9/17/91
adult education at numerous recreation centers. This multiple use
is often the case at the City's recreation sites where different
organizations utilize the facility simultaneously. A combination
of programs would complement rather than hinder youth services in
this area of Chula Vista. In terms of scheduling the community
youth center, the Department would, on a quarterly basis, meet with
the other interested groups to work out various programming
interests. certain facility hours would be set aside for group and
community uses as well.
In order to make this option a "win-win" situation, staff
recommends that Option #1 include an element which enables the City
to coordinate a variety of programs with both the YMCA and the Boys
and Girls Club (and/or others) as space and time permits. This
element would enable the Boys and Girls Club three options; (1) the
use of the community youth center and the Rice School site; (2) the
use of only the Rice School site; or (3) the use of only the
community youth center for those hours available. This element
would enable the Boys and Girls Club to extend programming from the
Rice School facility, thus providing greater flexibility for that
facility and the age groups served. It encourages the development
of a comprehensive pool of resources that would benefit the City's
youth. The City would share in the payment of maintenance and
utilities cost per the Joint Use Agreement. In a sublease or flat
rental, other agencies/groups would pay their proportionate share
of these costs and equipment outlay and insurance as well. The
administrative arrangement could be a challenge, but it is
essential to have a lead agency such as the City overseeing this
facility.
The programming activities of the Club at Rice School will be
totally accommodated at the new facility, and enhanced, due to the
larger square footage available to the Club under Option #1.
Attachment "H" is a proposed schedule which describes how staff
envisions Option #1 to work.
Option #1 has been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission,
the Youth Commission, and the Sweetwater High School District. The
District Superintendent, Mr. John Rindone, submitted a letter of
support (Attachment "I"). Mr. Rindone stated that when the School
Board approved the Ground Lease and Joint Use Agreement with the
City, it was the Board's opinion that the best operator of the
facility would be the City. Furthermore, it was the Board's
opinion that the City, as operator, was in the best interest of all
citizenry in the City of Chula Vista.

In order to manage the facility and accept responsibility for its
operation, an appropriation for a full-time Recreation Supervisor
II is necessary, along with funds for maintenance, operation,
programming and equipment needs. The Recreation Supervisor II will
balance the various program uses, plan and evaluate activities,
schedule the facility, interface with the District and other
community groups, issue maintenance work orders, and determine
monthly or annual billings. The Supervisor will ensure that
problems associated with all subleases or facility use permits are
kept to a minimum, and that the facility is properly maintained and
managed for the duration of the lease agreement with the School

groups like the City and the YMCA would be able to utilize the
Center when rooms are available or upon advance notice.

In this scenario, a sublease with the Club would be executed and
the Club would be responsible for facility operations in
cooperation with the School District. The proposal submitted by
the Club indicates that the Club would be interested in managing
the new youth facility, operate programs for 30 hours per week, and
coordinate facility use by other community groups as well (see
Attachment "K").
In their proposal, the Club contemplates managing this new facility
through a sublease agreement with the City at a cost of $1 per
year. This means the city would still be required to budget for
costs relating to repairs and future capital outlay. The Club
would primarily operate the facility between 2:30 p.m. and 8:30
p. m., Monday through Friday. They would also schedule special
events such as dances and tournaments. Other available times would
be coordinated with community organizations such as the YMCA and
this Department. The cost of maintenance, utilities and liability
insurance (naming the District and City as co-insured) would be
borne by the District and Boys and Girls Club.
Financial
The Club states that they would transfer their existing operation
at the L Street (Rice School) facility to the new center. This
would include a program director and part-time staff. The Club
would maintain a staff ratio of one staff member per every 15
participants. In addition, the Club would utilize volunteers and
provide administrative oversight through their Oleander facility.
On the subject of equipment, the Club states that it would provide
the equipment necessary to operate the facility. This would
include tables, chairs, desks, etc.
In terms of a financial plan, the Club would utilize their existing
program funds earmarked for the L Street site. The Department is
not aware of what is allocated for the L Street facility. Their
sources of revenue would include united Way, donations,
memberships, fundraising and bingo. The Club I s Director has
indicated in the proposal that the Club is prepared to fund the
Center's operation in the amount of $114,599 for a 10 month period
of time. This amount would calculate out to approximately $11,460
per month or $137,519 for a full year. The Club has informed the
Department that a maintenance provision could be included in the
lease agreement to ensure building standards are maintained or the
lease would be nullified. The Club has stated that they recently
hired a Director of Operations with emphasis on facility
management. It is the Club's intention to formulate a maintenance
plan in conjunction with the City and School District.

Upon analysis of the Club's proposal, staff believes that there are
some on-going costs to the City, as well as benefits to the City,
for the Club to operate the facility. As noted before, under their
proposal, the Club wishes to pay $1 per year u!1der a sublease
arrangement. On the cost side, the Department believes the Club
should pay for the full cost use of the facility. Under Option #1,
it is staff's best estimate that the expenses in FY92 for
telephone, utilities, custodial and grounds maintenance would be
approximately $28,200. It is anticipated that the City would save
$85,560 in programming and operationsjmaintenancejstart-up costs in
FY 92 (total budget in FY 92 is $118,500), as these costs could be
absorbed by the Club.
However, there are two alternatives to consider under option #2 as
it relates to costs to the City. Under Option #2A, the city would
not only have weekend programming costs, but would also absorb
$25,200 in utility and maintenance costs if the Club sub-leases for
$1 per year. If the decision is made to have the Club pay for
utilities and maintenance, the City would only continue to incur
the following costs under option #2B due to weekend and other
programming during non-Club hours; (1) personnel costs of $17,951,
(2) utilities costs of $5,070, and (3) maintenance costs of $9,900,
for a total of $32,921 under Option #2B. (Attachment "L")
If the Club requests start-up costs for equipment, totalling
$25,600, the savings would be reduced by this amount, for a total
savings of only $64,681. This amount does not include insurance or
any unanticiptated minor or major capital improvements. The City
will also incur costs for administrative management under Option
#2A & #2B.
The City Attorney has advised the Department that, under a sublease
agreement, the Club should indemnify the City and School District
with a sole negligence clause. It is not known whether an
indemnification with sole negligence would affect the Club's
financial ability to secure insurance. It is staff's understanding
this type of insurance is difficult to obtain, and if obtainable,
very costly. The present Joint Use Agreement between the City and
Sweetwater School District has general liability insurance coverage
in the amount of $5,000,000; provided by each party for the use of
the community youth center.
Eauipment Outlav
The Department believes all equipment and furnishings to start up
the facility should be new versus used. Since this is a new
facility, used equipment would detract from the Center's
appearance. In addition, used equipment could pose a liability
[youthfacJ

/3-1

Meeting Date

problem if it is unsafe. According to the Club's Director, the
furnishings and equipment moved to the center would be new. This
could include, but not be limited to, a pool table, ping pong
table, desk, chairs, etc.
The Department estimates that equipment outlay will require a large
start-up cost ($25,600), since the facility will be virtually
empty. Upon acceptance of the facility, such items as a volleyball
system, badminton equipment, desks and chairs, etc., will be
required. This amount could be as much as $29,000 (see itemized
listing on Attachment IIJII). It is staff's understanding that the
Club, if required, could allocate approximately $15,000 towards
these capital outlay expenses. This amount will be insufficient to
meet City standards/estimates for fully equipping the community
youth center.
Under the Club's proposal, other organizations could utilize the
facility when it is not in use by the Club. Facility use hours for
community groups include any time after 8:30 p.m. in the evening
and all day during the weekends. These hours do not seem to be the
best approach to scheduling the facility. For example, staff
believes that there should be opportunities for different
organizations with diverse philosophies and goals to utilize the
facility. In the Club's proposal, other agency/group programming
during the week would be limited to late evening hours. One
positive part of the Club's schedule is the opportunity they would
offer to groups to utilize the facility during the weekend.
The City would still wish to operate the facility when program
hours are not scheduled by the Boys and Girls Club. Hours
anticipated for City use would be:
8:30 - 10:00 p.m. - Monday through Friday
9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. - Saturday
12:00 noon - 5:00 p.m. - Sunday
Attachment "L" delineates costs associated with the city
programming efforts under Option #2. City staff required for
Option #2 are .60 FTE each of a Recreation Leader, a Recreation
Aide and a Recreation Specialist. These personnel costs do not
include department management costs for administration of the
program and the lease. In FY 92, the difference in costs. for
programming the facility is slight, because of the one-time outlay
for intial start-up equipment costs.
The Club has submitted a detailed summary of the costs and revenue
associated with their proposed operations at the community center.
[youthfac]

Based upon the submittal, a large percentage of their revenues will
come from bingo (40%) and United Way contributions (26%). The
remaining amounts will come from contributions, special events,
grants, memberships and other income, respectively. It is staff's
position that these major revenue sources are uncertain and could
take a turn to the negative, depending on donatins and economic
conditions. Although, the Club has been able to operate the L
street facility with the existing complement of staff, the
Department believes that additional revenues will be necessary to
expand the operation of the community youth center. This
particularly is the case in the area of facility utilities and
maintenance costs. It does not seem feasible for the Club to
absorb the additional cost of managing a 17,000 foot facility. An
additional consideration of the Club's future financial ability to
handle costs of operation is the future repayment of the $250,000
loan to the City of Chula vista which commences in 1999.
During the Parks and Recreation Commission's consideration of the
Club's proposal, the Commission raised concerns regarding the
Club's ability to effectively maintain the facility; the
credentials of their staff members and the staffing levels; the
potential for changes on the Board of Directors, executive staff,
and financial stability. Other concerns expressed dealt with lack
of supervision. For example, it was stated that the Boys and Girls
Club's current facility is not well maintained and that there would
be a high risk in turning the new facility over to them.
Addi tionally, the Commission felt that the Boys and Girls Club
should operate the facility at no cost to the City in lieu of the
Club's option regarding acceptable trade-off for facility
programming.
The Youth Commission supported the City's operation of the
community youth center because of the focus on Junior senior High
ages. They felt the facility required an agency that would oversee
the entire operation of the facility and that the City would be the
best choice. Other comments included their support of organized
activities, rather than just drop-in activities. They felt the
Boys and Girls Club operation was diluted in respect to serving
ages 6-18 and that the joint operation with the City, would
complement the City's strong focus on the age group 12-18 years.
The staff's Option #1 recommendation was shared with the YMCA and
the Club. The concept of facility sharing was acceptable to the
YMCA, but unacceptable to the Club. The Club expressed other
concerns regarding option #1. They believe the recommended option
would constrain their ability to effectively manage and fully
schedule afterschool activities. The Club's Director and Board
[youthfac]

members feel that conflicts may arise as a result of other programs
running concurrently with theirs. Of particular note was the
belief that Club members may co-mingle with non-Club activities and
youngsters would not be readily available when their parents arrive
to pick them up. The Club was also concerned about the potential
for members to wander off the premises if they were attracted to
other non-Club functions. The Club Director also expressed concern
that the Club would be restricted to specific areas within the
building. The Club Director believes this would affect the Club's
ability to fully schedule and program the facility.
In response to Club Director's concerns, City staff feels that
well-supervised and scheduled activities, by both the Club and the
City, will deter this idea of wandering Club members. In the
spirit of joint use, it seems likely that both groups could plan
activities that would encourage, rather than discourage, facility
users to participate in many recreational opportunities offered by
both agencies.
The benefit of having the City operate the facility is the
Department's ability to oversee total program quality, building
maintenance, and to ensure, through a preventative maintenance
schedule, that future CIP needs of the building are kept to a
minimum. Furthermore, staff would also be in a position to ensure
that scheduling, safety and security are dealt with in a
professional manner.
Summarv
The Department understands that there may be some constraints to
the Club's desire to fully utilize the facility, but believes
Option #1 is the most viable option. For example, the City
possesses the technical expertise to identify facility needs on
both a minor and major capital improvement basis. Proactive
facility management will be necessary to minimize major repairs to
this City investment. If the Club were granted exclusive use with
the District, there is a possibility that the facility could fall
into a state of disrepair. Upon site observation, staff has
determined that the Club's maintenance standards at their existing
facilities are not to the level of City standards.
The Council could mandate a provision in a sublease agreement
stipulating that the Club adhere to City-mandated facility
management practices; however, such a sublease would place the City
in the role of being the arbitrator between the District and the
Club. Consequentl~, City mediation may occur on items as
insignificant as a broken window and items as significant as
facility vandalism. This may be difficult to achieve, particularly
[yoothfacJ
12
/3-/,2.
Item
Meeting Date
/J
9/17/91
if the City is not in a lead role of managing the facility on a
day-to-day basis. The predicted frequency of mediation between the
District and the Club is not known at this time, but if it occurs,
the city may be placed in the very awkward position of determining
which party is at fault. This is particularly important to
remember since the City will be responsible for ensuring that any
sublessee must pay for repairs associated with their use.
The City has shown, through its other facility operations, the
ability to provide comprehensive programming opportunities. As
stated earlier, this has included Junior/Senior High activities,
elementary school programming in 23 afterschool sites, diversified
drop-in programs at three recreation centers, and multi-cultural
contractual classes. We have successfully worked with groups like
the YMCA and both school districts, to share resources and provide
better community opportunity. The City provides consistent
facility maintenance management and a comprehensive long-term
capital program. The City's hiring and training of staff provides
continuity and quality in programming because there is less staff
turnover.
On the benefit side of this proposal by the Club is the fact that
if the Club is allowed to operate the Center, the cost to the city
could be less (see Attachment "L"). Under the present staff
recommendation of Option #1, $118,500 would be needed for facility
operation in FY 92 and $121,205 in FY 93 (Attachment IIJII).
Finally, it is staff's opinion that the Club has had some
organizational ups and downs in the past years. Much to their
credit, they have made some strides in the last two years to
improve their operations. However, staff is not convinced that the
Club is prepared to fulfill the financial obligations of operating
a facility of this magnitude. In addition, because of the
increased demand for youth-related services in the community, the
City is in dire need of an additional facility in the central part
of the City. If option #1 is adopted, it would allow the City to
divert and expand many of its junior and senior high school
programs over to the community youth center, while at the same
time, giving other organizations an equal share in the programming
of the facility. In addition, Option #1 will provide the quantity
and quality of recreational opportunity to the citizens of Chula
Vista.

Dear Mayor Nader and Council Members,
Recoqnizinq that the youth of Chula Vista represent the future of

opinion on the governing of the new Chula Vista Youth Community
Center.
At our commission meetinq on Monday, September 9, 1991 the
Commission voted unanimously on supportinq "option one" in the plan
that the Chu1a Vista Park and Recreation Department presented. The
Commission came to this conclusion based on the realization that
the most crucial aqe group is those aqes 12-18. In discussinq the
qoverninq of the center, the Commission believes that the youth of
Chula Vi sta would be bet ter served only if the Ci ty and the
Sweetwater Union Hiqh School District operated the facility
jointly. While recoqnizinq the qreat service that the Boys & Girls
Club does for the youth, their tarqet aqe qroup, in our opinion its
proqrams are too broad to be effective for youth between the ages
of 12 and 18.
Therefore esteemed colleaques, we the Youth Commission of the City
of Chula Vista recommend that the Chu1a Vista Youth Communi ty
Center be operated by both the City and the Sweetwater Union High

Dear Councilman Malcolm,
The Chula Vista Human Services Council is strongly supportive of
the Boys & Girls Club of Chula vista managing and operating the
new Community Youth Facility.
The Boys & Girls Club is an exemplary organization which has
served the youth of Chula vista for thirty-four years. They have
been active in responding to the myriad of needs which face the
youth of today, and in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. We
believe that their current efforts to work in cooperation with
the city is a model of the public private partnership which will
distinguish the City of Chula vista as a leader in human service
delivery and which our agency has worked to foster.
I have personally witnessed that these programs are having a
positive impact on the lives of our youth. I would strongly
encourage you to provide them the opportunity to continue to
expand services to Chula Vista. If you have any questions
regarding this recommendations please don't hesitate to contact
us.
Respectfully,

, 360 T~D AVECHULA VISTA CALIFORNIA 919101619) 691 5087
17 September 1991
TO: Honorable Mayor Tim Nader, City of Chula Vista
Council Persons. City of Chula Vista
From: John Willett, Member, Chula Vista Paries and Recreation Commission
(Residing at 97 Montebello St, Chula Vista, CA 91910)
R.E.: Operation of Chula Vista's Community Youth Center.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Option#1. wherein the City
will operate. maintain and schedule use of the Youth Facility after school
hours for Junior/Senior age groups inaccordance with a Joint High School
District/City Policy aggreement,and when the facility is not being used it
will be scheduled for community uses.
This recommendation is based on evauation of the Boys & Girls Cub letter
of June 5, 1991, a Parks and Recreation monthly meeting on September 20.
1991 to consider management/scheduling of the facilities, where both the
Paries and Recreation Director and the Boys and Girls Club Director
presented their proposals. [The Commission voted 5-1 (1. abstained due
conflict of interest)), the Youth Commission approval at its meeting of
September 9, 1991 and the data furnished to the Council (Agenda
Statement of 9/17/91).
The Boys & Girls Club states their hours of operation will be from 2:30 to
8:30 (6hrs). 5 days a week for a total of 30 hours, whereas the City hours
of operation would be from 2:30 to !O:OO (7.5 hrs). 5 days a weele (37.5 hrs)
and 9:00 to 5:00 (8 hrs) on Saturdays and 12:00 to 5:00 (5 hrs) on Sunday,
for a total of 50 hrs versus 30 hrs for the Club. That difference in
operating hours equates to 121.000 visits instead of about 73,000 ( 320
visits per day x 5 days x 52 weeles) for the Club.
The Paries and Recreation Department has demonstrated their ability to
monitor fund expenditures, maintain/repair/manage and schedule program
facilities that handled in excess of 753,554 youth/adult visits last year.
Therefore. I recommend that the Council adopt Option #1 ( Joint
City/School District Operation).

FOR THE OPERRTION
OF THE
NEW

FACILITY
I J~;1
Introduction
The Boys & Girls club of Chula Vista has been successfully
serving the needs of youth in our community for 34 years. By
helping young people to gain self-confidence and the
motivation to succeed, the Club enables them to develop the
skills they need to become responsible citizens and leaders.
We current 1 y serve over 2,000 youth throughout the Chu 1 a
Vista area.
The Boys & Gi r 1 s Club is proud of its ach i evements
including:
..providing Quality.

..the introduction of European Team Handball to the South
Bay area. It has become so successful that now the
Parks and Recreation Department and local school
districts are starting handball programs. The Club has
co-sponsored the East 1 ake South Bay Summer Games each
summer, and has coord i nated the Team Handba 11 prosram
for the games each year as well.
..the club's Fine Arts program has encouraged and assisted
members in developing their abilities. This has
resulted in their work being exhibited, as well as being
included in regional, and even national competition.
. .the initiation of a transportation program to improve
access to our serv ices from certa i n schoo ls. The Club
also took a leadership role in the development of a
coalition between the Chula vista Elementary School
District, the Human Services Council, the YMCA, and the
Boys & Girls Club. This coalition expanded transporta-
tion opportunities enabling children to get to after-
school youth programs.
..successfully developed a preschool and child care center
to meet the needs for quality, affordable child care as
determined by Chula Vista 2000.
. .the offering of sports leagues for teens. Our teens
provide various community service projects. This year
our programming for teens is greatly expanding and will
include Keystone Clubs, SMART Moves, and Teen Outreach.
J J" J5'
The Boys & Girls Club is unique in that it uses recreation
as a "means" rather than an "end". Programs are "Youth
Centered" rather than "Activity Centered" which maintains a
focus on the needs of youth. Our staff works with children
from a variety of family backgrounds. They work very
closely with parents and schools to he1p meet individual
needs a ch i I d may have. By teach i ng boys and 9 i r I s to
believe in themselves, club staff provides a window of
opportunity for disadvantaged children and achieve
remarkable results.
With our successful program experience and with our
uniqueness as a youth development organization, we now want
to continue to help meet the needs of youth in our community
by expanding our services on the westside of Chula Vista.
Managing this new community youth facility will enable us to
serve more youth and provide more quality, affordable
programs.

noYs & GIRLS CLUB
OF CHULA VISTA
OVERVIEW
New Communit~ Youth Facilit~
J J ~'I/
The Boys Club of Chula Vista began providing services to the
youth of our cOlTlTlunity in 1957. In 1964, the Girls Club was
establ ished. In July of 1987, the two organizations merged
and became the Girls Club and Boys Club of Chula vista and
opened a new faci 1 ity at 1301 Oleander Avenue. Prior to
that, the Girls Club was located at 350 L street and the
Boys Club was located at 5th and I street. About that same
time the Club at 5th and I closed in cooperation with the
City of Chula Vista and Homart Development to provide for
the expans i on of the Chu 1 a Vista Center. There was great
concern on the part of numerous parents, children, and other
members of the cOlTlTlunity about closing that facility as it
served a big need for youth serv ices on the wests i de of
Chula Vista. Homart Development, however, made a sizable
contribution to go toward constructing a new youth facility
on the westside. This is the facility, as you know, that is
now being built on the grounds of Chula Vista High School.
The operation of this facility has been critical to us ever
since the closure of the Club at 5th and I to ensure that
quality services continue to be provided on the westside.
Our organization today serves over 2,000 chi ldren, is open
2,100 hours a year, and is being attended by an average of
320 children each day. We have a voluntary Board of
Directors which has been greatly developed over the past few
years. We also are affiliates of and have the full support
of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Girls Incorporated, and
the United Way of San Diego County.
what is the Boys & Girls Club?
The mission of the Boys & Girls club of Chula Vista is to
provide positive activities and opportunities to develop the
health, self-esteem, and character f the youth of our
cOlTlTlun i ty, enab 1 i ng them to reach the 1. fu 11 est potent i a 1.
To accomplish our mission, we practice a set of principles.

interests of our youth. This program offers diversified
activities in six areas:
1. Personal & Educational Development

When this strategy is fully implemented, the self-esteem of
our youth is enhanced and an env ironment is created wh i ch
helps them achieve their full potential.
In this way, our Boys & Girls Club is unique from other
public and private youth serving organizations.
Interest in New Facility
As previously stated, the Club has had an interest in this
facility ever since the closure of the Club at 5th and I. We
are currently providing services at our L Street site (350 L
Street), however, the phys i ca I f ac i1 i ty there is no longer
adequate with the number of children we are serving and the
scope of services we are providing. We are currently
serving an average of 78 chi ldren a day which in itself
exceeds the capacity of the actual building. This new
faci I ity provides the opportunity for growth in the number
of children being served; and for program deve1opment,
expanding the services to be provided.
One of the things that is unique about a Boys & Girls Club
is that its target population is toward youth from
low-income and minority families. Over 6011; of the children
currently being served on the westside fall into this target
population. This is why, while the city is growing and
deve I op i ng to the east, we are look i ng to grow and deve I op
more on the westside. We feel that this is an area that is
under-served and has the greatest need.

OF CHULA VISTA
OPERA TIONAL
PLAN
New Community Youth Facility
/J,J/.>
We propose th$t the Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista manage
this new f$cility through a sub-lease agreement with the
city at a cost of $1.00 a year.
The Club would operate the facility when not in use by the
High School in accordance with the joint use agreement
between the City and the Sweetwater Union High School
D i str i ct. We wou 1 d ask that there be greater c I ar i f i cat ion
as to the extent of the usage by the High School.
Coordination of Facility Use
We are committed to coordinating and promoting facility
usage with other community organizations as it is available.
We do th i s on an ongo i ng bas i s a 1 ready at our Oleander
facility. We currently work cooperatively with the
Sweetwater Union High School District, Boys Scouts, YMCA,
N.A. (Narcotics Anonymous), and various other community
groups in utilizing our facility as it is available.
The Boys & Girls Club would primari ly operate programs in
the facility between 2:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday. Other pre-planned events may be scheduled in
advance for activities such as monthly dances and special
tournaments.
Other times
organizations
Department.
would be coordinated with other community
such as the YMCA and the Parks and Recreation
Staffing
Boys & Girls Club Staff playa key role in helping members
to gain self-esteem and develop social skills. Trained
staff uses group activities to gain the respect and trust of
young people and teach teamwork, leadership and how to get
along with other.
We currently have a trained staff at our L Street facility
which would move into this faci 1 ity. The staff is managed
by a full-time professional program director who is on-site.
We would add additional staff needed to implement expanded
programming. The club maintains staff ratios of 1: 15 to
ensure quality programming as well as to ensure the safety
and well-being of all Club members.
I n add i t i on to the above-ment ioned staff and vo 1 unteers,
administrative oversight and support is provided by the
Execut i ve Di rector, Director of Operat ions, Secretary, and
Accountant.
I:J -yt--
Eauipment
We wou 1 d prov i de the equ i pment necessary to operate the
faci 1 ity. This would include, but would not necessari ly be
limited to, tables, chairs, desks, sports equipment, social
recreation equipment, and cubbies. Some equipment we
currently have on hand at other program sites. We also have
funds set as i de for th i s equ i pment over and above what has
been budgeted for operating expenses. We would further
secure additional start up funds as needed.
Financial Plan
Our current annua 1 budget for our L Street site is
$124,692.00. These funds would be diverted to this new
site. Projected expenses for the new faci 1 ity for the ten
month per i od September 1, 1991 to June 30, 1992 are
$114,599.00. The projected budget is included with this
proposa 1. The sources of our income i nc 1 ude Un i ted Way,
donations, membership, fund raising, and bingo. All sources
have been steadi ly increasing and we anticipate they wi 11
continue to do so. We are a Iso developing an aggressive
annual giving program and endowment program to ensure
financial security. We have a copy of our latest financial
audit on file should you request it.
Facilitv Maintenance
Regarding concerns that have been expressed about our
ability to properly maintain this facility, we certainly
have that capabi I ity. provisions can easi ly be included in
the 1 ease agreement to ensure that bu i I ding standards are
maintained or the lease would be nullified.
The Club has recently hired a Director of Operations with
one of their primary responsibi I ities being faci 1 ity
management. The Board of Directors Administration Committee
also has the responsibi 1 ity of faci 1 ity management
oversight. Our Oleander facility has a regular maintenance
plan which includes a janitorial service, landscaping

BOYS & GIRLS CLUB
OF CHULA VISTA
PROGRAMMING
New Community Youth Facility
JJ~'Ilf
One un i queness of Boys & Gi r 1 s Clubs is that they have an
"open door" whereby kids have a place to go as they need to.
Programs are designed to be developmental and guidance-
oriented in nature. The staff serve as positive role models
for the youth and this in turn creates positive relation-
ships between the children and the staff.
Having fun - with a purpose - is a key to understanding the
Boys & Girls Club experience. Team sports and social
recreation are a major initial attraction to the Club. Once
there, young people become involved in various other
programs that also promote their physical, social, and
educational development. Accordingly, program activities
are planned to provide a variety of informal activities,
single session activities, and structured activities. club
members are encouraged to get involved in a variety of
activities and to make choices.
Teen programming would be a major focus to our programming
as we feel this is an under-served population with great
need. Our Oleander faci 1 ity has been very successful in
deve 1 op i ng sports 1 eagues for teens. Our teens have a 1 so
been very involved in service projects for the community.
Add i t i ona 11 y, we have deve loped a "Teen Outreach" program
which is scheduled to start in our new teen room within the
next few weeks. Our L street facility currently has a Teen
Club which has involved teens in field trips, discussion
groups, and community service projects.
Activities change regularly as our staff is committed to
planning a diverse program to meet the interest and needs of
our Club members. Input into the types of programs to be
offered wi 11 be sought from our Club members, our parents
advisory committee, the Chula Vista Youth Commission, and
our Board Administration Committee.

Office of Substance Abuse Prevention and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.

3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Community Youth Center
Director Valenzuela gave an overview of the three options before the Commission
..- for operating the Community Youth Center.
1. that the City operate the facility in conjunction with the YMCA, GirlslBoys
Club and the Sweetwater Union High School District
2. that the City operate the Youth Center in conjunction with the Sweetwater
Union High School District
3. that the GirlslBoys Cub operate the facility in conjunction with the
Sweetwater Union High School District
He pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of each of the options. Staff
recommends Option #1 because it would promote greater utilization of the facility,
provide greater control over the maintenance of the facility and be cost efficient.
PARKS AND RECREATION OOMMlSSION MINlITES
MEETING OF JUNE 20, 1991
SCOTI MOSHER of the GirlslBoys Clubs spoke in favor of Option #3. He stated
that the Club is limited in its ability to serve the children of western Chula Vista
because of lack of space. It is his feeling that the citizens of western Chula Vista do
not understand that the GirlsIBoys Club shut down their I Street facility to make
room for the expansion of the Chula Vista Center. They provide a wide range of
programmil1g during the week, which will include programs for teens. Mr. Mosher
stated that even though the Club is a drop-in center, they assume a great deal of
responsibility for the children in the programs.
PAGE 2
Commissioner Willett inquired about the lack of programming proposed by the
Boys/Girls Club on the weekends.
Mr. Mosher stated that their studies showed a very low need for child care and other
programming on the weekend. He further stated that while it did not appear at this
time to be cost effective for them to keep the Center open on Saturdays or Sundays,
they were flexible on this issue and could bring programming in line with their other
facilities, for example, the Oleander facility where they have bingo on the weekends.
BOB FOX of the Boys/Girls Clubs spoke in favor of Option #3. He feels that the
Club targets low income and minority people and provides quality, affordable day
care to the co=unity at the least cost to the City. He stated that the Boys and
Girls Club programs are unlike other programs that when the program ends and
children are free to go. The Club can keep kids until 7:00 pm at a price that parents
can afford to pay. .
BEN RICHARDSON of the Boys/Girls Clubs spoke in favor of Option #3. He feels
that in order for the Club to serve western Chula Vista in the same way that they are
serving eastern Chula Vista through their Oleander facility, they need to have more
space.
DIANE CHAMBERS stated that the Boys/Girls Club offers a variety of programs,
and that children in this area of Chula Vista really need supervised programs.
JONNIE lAUGHLIN stated that it was her understanding that when the I Street
facility was tom down, it would be replaced within a few years. She is in favor of
having the Boys/Girls Club housed in the Co=unity Youth Center.
Director Valenzuela gave an overview of the programming that would be provided
for both younger children and teens by the City of Chula Vista should Option #1 be
chosen. This programmin!\ would be available both weekdays and weekends.
Corporate and private sponsorship will be sought by the Department in order to
provide the highest possible quality programming. In addition to these programs, the
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES
MEEI1NG OF JUNE 20, 1991
PAGE 3
Department would coordinate with YMCA, Boys/Girls Oub, and School District
programmirtg to maximize use of the facility and recreational services to the
community.
Both Commiqjoner Willett and Chair Sandoval-Fernandez expressed their concern
that the representatives of the Boys/Girls Oub were giving the impression that they
provide licensed child care at the Youth Center and that it was not the intent of the
Youth Center to be a child care center.
Mr. Mosher stated that no child care programs were planned for the facility; that the
programs previously referred to were drop-in programs. The club does provide
licensed child care at their Oleander site and that program would remain intact.
Commissioner Sandoval-Fernandez asked the Director if Option #1 would
accommodate these drop-in programs.
Director Valenzuela stated that two rooms would be available for this type of activity.
So the Club would be able to program this type of activity, but not to the extent that
is outlined in the Oub's proposal.
In response to a comment made earlier by Mr. Mosher relative to Boys/Girls Club
staff's giving guidance to children in situations involving physical and/or sexual abuse,
Commissioner HaJJ inquired whether the Boys/Girls Club had licensed counselors on
staff.
Mr. Mosher replied that while they do not employ any licensed counselors on staff,
children do gain confidence in staff members and share information with them.
The following dialogue ensued between Commissioner Hall and Mr. Mosher:

MOSHER
In the cost of maintenance, why should the City absorb the cost of
maintenance?
We feel that maintenance is negotiable. Since the Boys and Girls Club
will operate the facility at no cost to the City, maintenance at the City's
expense should be an acceptable trade-off.
Does your staff possess any formal education in counseling?
We don't get into specific counseling. We do not have certified
counselors on staff, however, our staff can do problem solving with
children in difficult home situations without having those type of
credentials.
What is the definition of the Boys and Girls Oub's "drop-in" element?
Boys and Girls Oub is exempted from child care laws, however,
children can come and go as they please. Staff tries to enforce when
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUI'ES
Ml:llillNG OF JUNE 20. 1991

kids leave based on known wishes of parents.
HAil. What is the exact staffing level to be? What is the Boys and Girls Club
prepared to commit to?
MOSHER One full time program director, 5 part time staff that will be present
as attendance warrants.
The following dialogue ensued between Commissioner Hall and Director Valenzuela:
HAil. Does the City have the resources to take in kids who may not be able
to afford the fees required for programs?
DIRECTOR Yes - through various scholarship programs for those who cannot
afford fees and a sliding scale for others. Also, the Center will be free
for drop-in programs on Friday and Sunday.
Commissioner Sandoval-Fernandez stated that it was her understanding that none of
the existing Boys and Girls Oub programs would be lost if Option #1 were adopted,
that only the Oubs projections for growth would be constrained.
Mr. Mosher answered that they could provide a level of service under this option but
not to the degree outline in their proposal.
Commissioner Hall stated that it is his feeling that since the west side of the City is
facility poor and will be facility poor for some time in the future, it is imperative that
this facility be used for the maximum benefit of all. His biggest concerns about the
Boys and Girls Club's operation of the facility are long term concerns. While the
current Directorship of the Club will honor certain commitments, changes can occur
on the Board of Directors and changes can occur at the Director-level. Because of
these changes there can be both financial and leadership instability. For this reason
he does not believe that the City should allow control of the facility to reside with a
privately run organization. He feels that the time and cost to the City to ensure that
the facility is properly maintained are minimal compared to the benefits that will
come back to the entire community.
Motion to recommend that Option #1 be adopted.
MSC WlLLE1T/HALL 5-0 (Commissioner Und abstained, conflict of interest)
b. American Le~on
Director Valenzuela gave the Commission an overview of a progress report on the
sale of 1.6 acres of Eucalyptus Park to the American Legion.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES
MEETING OF JUNE 20, 1991

Mr. McCauley stated that the building would be a co=unity service center and that
separate spaces would be provided for people drinking beer to keep them apart from
other activities. He stated that the American Legion had commissioned an architect
to design the building to acco=odate the various activities.
Motion to direct Parks and Recreation Department staff to work with the City
Attorney's staff to work jointly with the American Legion to resolve some of these
discrepancies and come up with a concrete long range plan, basically to continue
negotiations for an agreement.
MSC WIlLEIT/CARPEN1ER 6-0
4. NEW BUSINESS
a. Southbay Little Leasue
Director Valenzuela gave a history and report of the current situation at the Little
League fields at Orange/Rienstra. An investigation of this situation was prompted
by a letter from Mr. Tom Martin, relating his concerns in the matter. The particular
position of the fields creates a hazard to spectators from foul balls. The Department
offered several proposals for financing security equipment to prevent this hazard.
Tom Martin, a resident of Chula Vista, reiterated the concerns he had outlined in his
letter, and stated that he feels the City should pay the cost of remedying the situation.
Motion to support Option #3, City to pay the entire cost of the security equipment,
and that this be installed as soon as possible.
MSC WILLEITILIND 6-0
b. Bicvcle Path Study
Samir Nuhaily of the Engineering Department presented the original scope that was
planned for the study and stated that options at this point, due to lack of funding, are
either to scale back the study or to wait until next year in the anticipation that more
funds will become available.
Commk~ioner Willett pointed out that aerial photos of the areas in question are
already being generated as a part of the Otay Regional Park Project. If the
Engineering Department could access these photos, it would save a considerable
amount of expense and the $50,000 already held in reserve for the study would then
cover much more territory than currently anticipated.

pertinent recommendations.

c. Selection of terms of office for new Commissioners
Secretary Stohr stated that she had spoken with Commissioner He]ton regarding the
drawing of lots for term. Commissioner He]ton had suggested that Commissioner
Carpenter draw a term and she would take the remaining term, rather than wait
another month until they could both be present.
Commissioner Carpenter drew the term ending June 30, 1991, leaving Commissioner
Helton to serve the term ending June 30, 1994.
Per the ordinance, Commission Carpenter will be eligib]e for two additional four year
terms and Commissioner He]ton will be eligib]e for one additional four year term.

Commissioner Willett expressed his concern over comments made by Scott Mosher
regarding Boys/Girls Qub staff counseling battered children and whether these
employees were qualified as counselors. He did not feel that his concerns had been
fully addressed by Mr. Mosher's subsequent comments regarding this issue.
Commi"Sioner Iind expressed his pleasure at the speed with which the Norman Park
Center is progressing.
Chair Sandoval-Fernandez asked if the Election of Officers would be agendized in

a. Written Communications
Letter from Mr. Otto regarding Hilltop Park
Director Valenzuela stated that he had just finished drafting a letter to Mr.
Otto which addressed many of his concerns either by defining the action that
was being taken or, in the case of the vegetation on the slopes, informing him
of the reasons for non-irrigation.
Commissioner Helton pointed out that many of the concerns expressed in the
letter have nothing to do with the Parks and Recreation Department, but are
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES FOR MEETING OF JULY 18, 1991
Police problems. She expressed curiosity as to whether or not Mr. Otto had
been in communication with the Police Department, and if not, why not. She
also suggested that the students from Hilltop High School be enlisted to patrol
the park in lieu of heavier Police patrol. She feels that this park basically
belongs to the students of Hilltop High School and that they are the prime
users. In addition, Commissioner Helton stated that the City should take a
look at closing the park earlier in the evening, perhaps at dusk.
PAGE 3
Commissioner Roland feels that the Police should patrol the park on a more
frequent basis.
Commissioner Hall feels that the Police should just enforce the curfew law
that is already on the books rather than amending park hours.
Commission Lind concurred. He feels that closing the park at dusk would be
too restrictive on people in the neighborhood who may want to take an
evening walk through the park.
The Commission requested that this item be agendized for their next meeting,
and that they receive a copy of the response to Mr. Otto's letter.
b. Commissioners' Comments
HELTON
o feels that the City should run the Youth Center and not release control of this
facility to a privately run organization.
o stated that the Boys & Girls Qub's current facility is not well maintained and
that there would be a high risk in turning the new facility over to them. She
stated that when she visited the Oleander site with Commissioner Carpenter
she found most of the children sitting in groups of two or three in the dirt
behind the clubhouse, not participating in any programmed activity, and not
even well supervised.
o does not like the trellis in front of the Norman Park Center. She stated that
the trellis was not on the plans before and she feels that the Design Review
Committee is forcing something on the community that the community does
not want. She stated that she wants to know how much of the seniors' money
is being spent on the concrete to form the trellises. She requested that this
item be agendized in August and that plans be brought before the
Commission at that time because she feels that the trellis was added after the
Commission on Aging reviewed the plans.
o would like to have the Director's Report placed prior to unfinished business
on the agenda. The rest of the Commissioners present concurred.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION

LIND
o stated that while he feels that the Boys and Girls Dub is a good organization,
it is just a babysitting service and nothing more than that.
o commended Senior Park Supervisor Jim Davis on his appearance at the Youth
Sports Council meeting and his swift actions to remedy certain parks problems
after that meeting.
o stated that the Youth Sports Council would like to know if there has been a
change in the basic plan at Terra Nova to include the basketball court and
sidewalk which will cut into the soccer facility. This will be agendized in
August and the Director will comment on it.
ROLAND
o would like to know if EastLake will be putting a jogging trail around their golf
course. He stated that such a trail was approved and asked the Director to
find out whether or not this was still in the plan.
HALL
o thanked the Commission for appointing him Chair for the next year. He
stated that the way he would conduct meetings is to start on one side of the
table and take commissioners comments in order. He also stated that he
would like each person to wait to be recognized by the Chair before speaking.
If no commissioners object to this he will proceed on this basis. No
commissioners present objected and Commissioner Hall said that he would
communicate personally with both Commissioner Willett and Commissioner
Carpenter to be assured that they had no objections.
o thinks that anyone who reads through the last month's Parks and Recreation
Commission minutes and/or reviews the proposals that were submitted will see
clear]y that the Parks and Recreation Department's programs are superior.
He feels that the Boys & Gir]s Club's rationale of being given the Center
because they lost a facility does not carry any weight because the City recently
lost a facility at the Fourth and Orange site as well.
6. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
The Director reported that he has met with Norma McCandliss and toured the area
that is planned for the Gayle McCandliss Memoria] Grove, giving Ms. McCandliss
specifics on the types of trees that will be planted.
Southbay Summer Games will be held on August 3 at Southwestern College. Over
600 kids will be involved.

ITEM TITLE:
Resolution Entering into an agreement with
Wheel er-Wimer-Bl ackman & Associ ates to provi de architectural
services for the Chula Vista Y~:h Community Center
Community Development Directortpa
Executive DirectotJ~ ~~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes-!-No___)
The City-owned building used by the Chula Vista Boy's Club, which was formerly
located at the corner of "I" Street and Fifth Avenue, was removed as a result
of the Chula Vista Shopping Center expansion. It functioned as a recreation
center for area youngsters residing in the central part of the City. When it
was determined that the City-owned building which housed the club needed to be
removed, the Redevelopment Agency made a commitment to construct a new youth
community center to serve the Central City community.
SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
The Agency has entered into a 1 ease agreement wi th Sweetwater Uni on Hi gh
School District to construct a new youth community center on the Chula Vista
High School campus near the northeast corner of "L" Street and Fifth Avenue.
The Agreement presented tonight to Agency members will provide architectural
services for the design and construction of the facility.
RECOtfoIENDATION: That the Redevelopment Agency adopt the attached Resol uti on
entering into an Agreement with Wheeler-Wimer-Blackman & Associates to provide
architectural services for the proposed youth community center.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.-
DISCUSSION:
On September 1, 1988, the Sweetwater Union High School District Board executed
a land lease to allow the Redevelopment Agency to construct the youth
community center on the Chula Vista High School campus. The next stpp toward
development of the hcil ity is to Drepare desiQn and constrllrtinn dOtlolmeRts.
.
The center is proposed to accommodate approximately 14,000 sq. ft. of floor
area and will house a gymnasium equipped for basketball courts and indoor
soccer. two activity/craft rooms, and an administrative office. Associated
vehicle parking, public improvements, and landscaping also will be included.
~he center will be jointly used by the City or its lessees and the High School
District; because of the school use, the building plans must comply with the
requirements of the Office of the State Architect (OSA) for school building

construction. Since the Sweetwater Union High School District recently
prepared a list of architects qualified to construct school facilities under
OSA requirements through an RFP process similar to the Agency's standard
process, their list was utilized to select a firm for the City's project.
After reviewing the qualifications of the architectural firm of
Wheel er-Wimer-Bl ackman and Associates, City and District staff are
recommending them to the Agency. An overview of the firm and resumes for both
the Project Architect and Project Manager are attached (Exhibit A) for your
1nfo~ation and consideration.
An Agreement with Wheeler-Wimer-Blackman and Associates for architectural
services is provided with the attached resolution. This contract was
negotiated by Agency staff and contains provisions for site studies and
surveys, design drawings, construction drawings, and construction
administration. The City Attorney's office, Risk Manager, Building and
Housing Director, Planni ng and Publ i c Works departments, and City's contract
architect have all reviewed the Agreement and have found it satisfactory.
In summary, the proposed architect's agreement contains the following
components:
Base Contract: The Architect's basic services will be provided in four
phases. The first phase will involve "workshop planning" with staff, the
Design Review Committee, the Agency, and the School District, where the
asic de "tud for the facilit will be develo ed.
Final design and architectural elevatlons ~I e prepare urlng ase
II. Actual construction documents and building specifications will be.
prepared and submitted to the Office of the State Architect and City:
departments for a building permit during Phase Ill. The Architect will.
assist with on-site construction administration in the fourth and final
phase of their contract.
In addition to building design, basic services also will include
consul ti ng engineers, 1 andscape architecture, the Archi tect' s attendance
at formalized meetings (i.e.. DRC, Agency meetings), and the Architect's
coordination with the Office of the State Architect.
The Architect's compensation for basic services is based on 9-1/2% of the
project construction cost, which is expected to be about $1,000,000. The
Architect is guaranteed at least $95,000 if they complete all tasks
required in the Agreement to the satisfaction of the Agency.
In accordance with the Agreement, the Architect will provide revised
project cost estimates after each phase of their work is completed, but
their final compensati on will be based on the actual constructi on bi d.
amount.
,"
(
Page 3, Item 5
Meeting Date 9/13/88
In the event the actual construction cost exceeds the project budget by
lOS or more, the ArcMtect will revise the construction drawings so the
project can be constructed to the Agency's satisfaction to within 10% of
that budget.
A schedule of the Architect's hourly fees and reimbursable expenses has
been included in the Agreement to base extra expenses and/or unforeseen
costs on if incurred.
Preliminary Studies: Preliminary studies entail a site study requested by
the school district to determine the best siting on the school grounds and
engineering studies, including soils investigation. The site study was
completed by the architect in order to provide information to the Agency
and the school district to aid in the decision on the Ground Lease-Joint
Use Agreement, with the understanding that the architect woul d only be
compensated if the project contract were awarded to the. architect. The
compensation amount is $3,000. The engineering studies must be completed
prior to preparation of design drawings. The work requires consulting
engineers and is typically outside the architect's basic services. The
agreement provides for this service through the architect to ensure fully
compatible site planning. The compensation amount is $9,000.
The agreement calls for
additional $13,000 is
reimbursable expenses.
A schedule of performance is attached as Exhibit B of the Agreement. The
schedule has been made as tight as possible to expedite the delivery of the
center as quickly as possible; processes have been run parallel wherever
.possible to save time. Unfortunately, the involvement of the Office of the
State Architect adds a substantial amount of processing time to the schedule.
The Architect and Agency staff will make a concerted effort to real ize or ,./
improve upon the schedule. October~ is targeted as a construction start
date. Barring unforeseen complications, it is intended that the facility will
be ready for occupancy by June 1990.
compensati on for the above servi ces of $107,000.
recolTll1ended for a ten percent contingency
An
and
Other aspects of the project such as interior furnishings, potential lessees,
construction inspection services and more precise construction costs are
currently being developed. A status report regarding these matters will be
forwarded to the Agency as information and recolTll1endations become firm.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Youth Center CIP account has a current balance of
$1,000,000. Funding for the Architect's contract will require the following
expenditures:

An additional $13,000 would be needed for contingency ($9,500) and
reimbursable expenses ($3.500).
Encumbrances of $120,000 for architectural services will leave an unencumbered
balance of $880.000 in the CIP account for construction and other services.
The Architect. as provided in the Agreement, will prepare an estimate of
building construction costs at the end of the schematic design phase (Phase I)
of the Agreement. At that time a report and recommendation from staff
regarding the complete construction budget will be presented to the Agency for
consideration. It is anticipated at this time that building construction with
associated site preparation, public improvements, and inspection services may
exceed $1,000.000; therefore, additional funding may be necessary. Possible
sources of funding at that time would include the remainder of funds from the
Homart purchase of the MIN Street site ($248,000) future Community Development
Block Grant Funds. or additional Agency funds.

Existing site characteristics
The site totals 1.24 acres and includes an existing 110-space parking lot, and
a 150 ft. x 185 ft. building site which adjoins the easterly portion of the
parking lot, just to the west of the CVHS football bleachers, and some 410 ft.
east of Fifth Avenue. The project site is presently part of the athletic
fields which extend easterly from Fifth Avenue, between "K" and "L" Streets.
Proposed use
The proposal is to construct a Youth Community Center to be used jointly by
the Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) and the City of Chula Vista
or a City lessee. The facility would total 15,000-17,000 sq. ft. of floor
area, including a 9,000 sq. ft./200-seat gymnasium, two activity/crafts rooms
totaling 3,000 sq. ft., and associated offices, utility, and storage rooms.
The Center would be served by the existing parking area which is presently
striped for 110 cars. Some reduction may occur due to restriping and
additional landscaping.
Specific activities or programs for the Center have not yet been determined.
The Sweetwater Union High School District will have full use of the facility
during school hours, limited evening hours, and certain times during the
sll1llller. The City and/or a City lessee will use the Center primarily during
after-school hours and on weekends. The specific hours reserved for SUHS
District use will be determined on an annual basis by mutual agreement between
the City and the District.
The Center is expected to accommodate the following general types of
youth-oriented activities: league basketball, supervised open-recreation
activities, arts and crafts classes, dance classes, and youth activity
meetings.
ANALYSIS:
Although the Center is intended to accommodate youth-oriented activities,
there is no specific information at this time on how the SUHS District, or the
City, or a City lessee, ~ use the facility in terms of programs, users and
hours of operation. On the other hand, the Center is proposed as a
..1ti-purpose building, and the use of the facility could change over time
regardless of what is initially planned. It is appropriate therefore to look
at the Center as one which may accommodate a combination of youth and
adult-oriented programs and activities.
The two issues pertinent to the conditional use permit are the potential
nOise/activity impacts on adjacent residents, and the adequacy of off-street
parking. The design and treatment of the structure and site are subject to
review and approval of the Design Review Committee, the SUHSD Board, and the
Jedevelopment Agency. Attached are two alternative floor plans and elevations

In terms of noise and activity impacts, the site is generally well-suited for
the use. The site is within the CVHS complex, and the athletic fields of
which the prope~ is a part are used extensively for daytime outdoor
recreational activities during both weekdays and weekends; the adjacent
football/tract facility is occasionally used intensively during the evening
hours as well. The supervised activities anticipated for the Center are
within the normal expectations of school property use. and would be confined
to inside the building and thus would be expected to have less of an impact
than the existing outdoor activities.
A concern of staff is with the potential for unsupervised outside activities
associated with youth programs during the evening hours. The extent of
scheduled evening youth activities at the Center is unknown, but it does
appear that whatever activities do occur in the evening will be under the
jurisdiction of the City or a City lessee rather than school officials. We
believe that evening youth programs have the potential .to generate a
significant amount of unsupervised activity outside the building, and perhaps
involving a substantial number of youngsters not associated with the Center.
For the benefit of adjoining residents and the youngsters themselves, we have
included a recommendation that supervision/security of the grounds be required
for all evening youth programs and activities.
The Code would normally require 240 parking spaces to serve 12,000 sq. ft. of
assembly area (9,000 sq. ft. gymnasium, and 3,000 sq. ft. of general purpose
rooms). This is based on a standard of one parking space for every 50 sq. ft.
of assembly area (maximum occupancy of assembly areas is established by the
Uniform Building Code at one person for every 15 sq. ft. of floor area). As
noted above, the proposal is to serve the Center with the existing parking lot
which, with the addition of landscaping and restriping to conform with City
dimensional standards, would provide approximately 100 parking spaces.
There are several factors which ameliorate the apparent parking deficiency in
the present instance. First, the parking standard assumes a freestanding use,
while in this case the facility is located on school grounds and is expected
to a large degree to serve students and youngsters from the surrounding
neighborhoods. Secondly, the standard assumes users will come from a normal
cross-section of the population, whereas the Center is expected to be
youth-oriented. Finally, the standard assumes a fairly high average occupancy
with an emphasis on "assembly" such as meetings and dances, rather than on the
recreational and crafts activities which are expected to be the focus of this
facility. (NOTE: Seating within the gym will be limited to 200 seats.)
We believe the parking will be adequate if the primary use of the Center is
for youth-oriented recreational activities as presently envisioned. The
parking will not be adequate, however, if the facility is used to a
significant degree by adults or for larger scale assembly and meeting
activities. Consequently, a condition has been recommended which will require
the Zoning Administrator to review and approve or conditionally approve the
(! regularly scheduled program of activities, as well as any special events which
My be scheduled from time to time. It would be the intent of the Zoning
--Administrator to'ensure that the normal operations of the Center can be . .

Meeting Date ~/lb/B9
CONDITIONS:
The recommended conditions of approval are as follows:
1. The Zoning Administrator and Parks and Recreation Director shall annually
review and approve the proposed schedule of programs and activities at the
Center, as well as any changes thereto or special events which may occur
from time to time. The Zoning Administrator shall ensure that the normal
operations of the Center can be accommodated with the available off-street
parking. The Zoning Administrator and Parks and Recreation Director's
decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission and on to the City
Council if necessa~.
2. Provision shall be made for supervision and security of the grounds in and
around the building and parking ar~a for any proposed evening youth
programs, activities, or special events, subject to the review and
approval of the Zoning Administrator and Parks and Recreation Director.
FISCAl IMPACT: The cost of the facility could approximate $1,250,000.
One Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars was paid to the Agency from
the Homart Development Company in compensation for conveyance of the Fifth
Avenue property and the I Street youth facility property. One Million Dollars
was deposited into a Capital Improvement Program account for the construction
of a youth facility. After funding, planning and design studies, a balance of
$867,000 remains in the CIP account for construction of the facility. Future
appropriation of at least $409,000 will be necessary to fully fund the project
(based on the prelimina~ architect's cost estimate). One source for most of
the additional funding would be the balance of the Homart contributions (in
excess of $350,000 including accrued interest). Block Grant funds could be
used for financing the remainder of the project.

clarified that, if the issue is a misunderstanding of the language
of the "OU, this request would be handled through a grievance
procedure which would end in arbitration; or if it is a request
that something more be added, it should be referred to the meet
and confer process. It is staff's recommendation to either deny
the request or to refer to staff for meet and confer.
Sue Brown, 842 Grissom Street, 92154, President of the Chula Vista
Employees Associ Uion (CVEA), reported the issue concerns the
multi-year contract of the CVEA which stipulates pay raises every
six months. When negotiating the contract, the negotiating team,
as amateurs, hiled to specify the specific language relative to
implementation of the pay increase. This was brought to her
attention by lIIany employees who are angry at the delay in which
they receive their increase. The contract states the "First pay
period in July 1989", "First pay period in January 1990" and,
previously, "First pay period in January 1989" which total a loss
of almost six weeks of increased pay caused by this delay in
implementation. Petitions have been signed by almost 500
employees which have been received since Friday, May 12, and it is
obvious employees in all departments are interested. Council is
respectfully requested to grant the request as stated as Council
did ten years ago when the POA approached them with the saJ:le
request.
Councilrnembers questioned t1rs. 8rown to confirm CVA is not asking
that pay raises be retroactive, nor is the CVEA asking for money
over and above that promi sed in the "lemorandum of Understanding
O~OU) but rather that the pay increases be "timely.". The
Associations real he there is a cost effect to this request but
consider it a small price to pay for the number of employees ~Iho
4'eel this action is not just.
Counci lmeC1bers concurred that it sounded 1 He an di fference of
opinion on the interpretation of the wording. Mrs. Brown
disagreed with this conclusion stating the Associations do not
want to file for a grievance nor do they want to go back to
arbitration; this particular instance is unique because of the
late dates into which the "first pay periods" fall and clarf fyied
the pay increase to cornmence~ June 13 would not ~e in the paycheck
until two weeks later. If it was 5 or 6 days, she added, no one
would complain but two weeks three times in one year seems so
grossly unique and unusual and that perhaps it should looked at in
a different \1ay.
Don Schofield, 11502 Calle Simpson, El Cajon, 92019, representing
Local 2180 International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF),
stated agreement with most of what ~1rs. Brown stated; there is
nothing to arbitrate. He said that, basically, they are asking
Council to bend the rules. Hr. Schofield further related, on
behalf of the IAFF, a fe~'rules were broken when the Fire Fighters
did a considerable amount of work at Fire Station 2 and he does
not now think it is unreasonable to ask Council to "bend the rules
slightly" in this issue.

Hay 16, 1989
Charles Pugsley. Chu1a Vista POlice Department. repreSenting the
Pol ice Officers Association (POA) stated support of the CVEA in
this proceeding. The Council could make the employees very happy
by paying them on the first of the month rather than ~Iaiting
almost two weeks into the contract; Council should be fair and see
the other side of this issue which also affects the POA contract.
MOTI ON
r4S (Nader/Moore) that the matter be referred to the City Manager
for the Meet and Confer process.
Councilman 14a1coll:l stated he would vote against the motion and
stated his reason since he is the Councilmember who fights for the
ernployees and for City promotions from liithin departments but.
there exists a written agreement that is signed by the City and by
the employees and he does not feel thi s is the proper way to
change an agreement. He does, however, want the employees to know
they can count on where he stands.
141'. Schofield agreed with Councilman Malcolm that to meet and
confer would only postpone with no answer; Mr. Puglsey agreed the
wording in the I~OU is perfectly clear. City "anager Goss offered
the choices seern obvious to go to meet and confer. In the
arbitration process, someone would be able to look at both sides
of the issue to give a recom~endation.
SUBSTITUTE MOTIO~
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to not consider this as an item for the meet
and confer process but to refer to staff as a grievance procedure.
I~ayor Cox assured all the representatives, speaking for Council
that, irrespective of the outcome of this issue, Chul'a Vista has
the best employees of any City in the State. .

Director of Planning Krempl reported the Conditional Use Permit
allows construction of a 15,000 to 17,000 sq. ft. Youth Community
Center on the north side of "l" Street, 410 ft. east of Fifth
Avenue, on the grounds of Chu1a Vista High School (CVHSj. The
cost of the faci 1 ity coul d approximate $1,250,000. Two land use
impacts have been identified, noise and the adequacy of parking.
Relative to noise, the site is well suited within the Chula Vista
High School complex but outside unsupervised youth activities
necessitated the placement of conditions. Because there is no
specific parking ratio in the Code for this type of use, the
parking issue was reviewed with the nature and placement of the
facility in relation to the surroundings. The Planning Commission
has recommended approval.
There being no one to speak either for or against this item, the

This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing

Di rector of Planning Krempl reported the request for variance
permits construction of a 6-foot high wall in the applicant's
front yard setback as a noise barrier to the thoroughfare traffic
on L Street. He stated the staff recommendation was to deny on
the basis the variance would constitute a special privilege not
enjoyed by adjoining neighbors, and would limit the open feeling
of the neighborhood. Alternatively, findings for approval were
presented and the Planning Commission recommended approval with

are some advantages, this City coul d out-process the County and
they lIay be some joint processing. In any case, this City needs a
project team leader to protect its interests.

Councilman Malcolm stressed the need to get the County out 'of ,this
situation and to coerce Supervisor Bilbray to do what is in the
best interests of the citizens of Chula Vi sta since he 'controls
the decision as Chairman of LAFCO and this is his District. He
added San Diego County must allow this City to take control and to
work it out in the next thirty days how the City will proceed with
the County.
Councilwoman McCand1iss, for the record, reported that she had

the stumbling block in the discussions with the American Legion
was the serving of alcohol on public property, a subject that was

REPORT: Final Schematic Drawings for the
Chula Vista Youth Community Center n~
Acting Community Development Director ~
Executive DirectorO~
f4/5ths Vote: YES NO ).
Agency Referral No. 1369
On January 19, 1989 the Redevelopment Agency reviewed a
concept floor plan for the proposed Chula Vista Youth
Community Center. The Agency's comments and concerns were
discussed with the project architect and incorporated into
the plan. Final schematic drawings including floor plan and
elevations were completed (attached as Exhibit B) and
forwarded to the Design Review Committee for evaluation.
The final schematic drawings and the Design Review Committee
recommendations are now being presented to Agency members
for approval.
ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
Immediately after the review of the drawings, a pUblic
hearing before the City Council for consideration of a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) will be conducted. Design
development will begin following CUP approval.
The project architect will provide the Agency with a formal
presentation and will be available to answer questions.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve schematic drawings inclusive of the
enclosed foyer and corridors in accordance with the Design
Review Committee recommendations, and direct staff to
proceed with the Design Development Phase of the project.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The schematic. drawings
were reviewed by a Design Review Committee Subcommittee. It
was suggested by the Subcommittee that an enclosed
foyer/lobby be incorporated into the design. Members felt
that the enclosure would provide covered entries to the
activity rooms and could be functional space. It also would
provide a cohesive design element for the front building
elevation and would secure the building entryways.
Subsequently, on April 6, 1989, the full Committee reviewed
both the entry plaza and enclosed foyer/lobby plans and
voted to recommend the foyer/lobby design.
The foyer plan submitted by the architect was found to be
more extensive than the Committee envisioned. A storefront
style foyer, in the opinion of the Committee, would be more

The city's Parks and Recreation Department staff and
Commission reviewed the original floor plan for the center.
Their suggestions were incorporated into the project. A
copy of the final schematic drawings were sent to the City's
Parks and Recreation Commissioners with a letter notifying
them of staff's recommendation to the Agency.
A copy of this staff report also was forwarded to all
attendees of the community meeting that was held on November
22, 1988 to gain pUblic and local youth organization
comments and recommendations.
A copy of the January 18, 1989 Agency staff report
containing original recommendations, suggestions and
comments from the public community meeting, Parks and
Recreation Commission, and Design Review Committee is
attached as Exhibit C for your information.
DISCUSSION: At the January Agency meeting, Agency members
requested that staff consider the following revisions to the
Youth Community Center plan:
1. That direct access to the gym not encourage the use
of street shoes on the gym floor.
2. That staff plan for (stub-out) the necessary
electrical and plumbing fixtures to allow for
'. '-- sho /hobby type activities.
_ .............~.f"...~r.d..""_.,_.?+_".~'. .'~ '" . .
3. That the proposed design of the office and meeting
room facilities include maximum flexibility to allow
for future office/meeting room space. If necessary,
sacrifice the rotunda for more play area and provide a
more functional floor area away from the meeting/office
areas.
These items were discussed with the project architect and
the following actions were taken:
1. The architect was directed to add an exterior
walkway to direct pedestrian traffic from the rear of
'.
Page 3, Item
Meeting Date 5/16/89
the building (from the gymnasium area) to the front
entry for access to the facilities.
2. To provide stub-outs for a future workshop
conversion such as a woodshop, the architect estimates
that general construction costs for the shop space
would be about $15 per square foot above the basic
building construction cost of about $75 per square
foot. Depending on the type of workshop desired,
special equipment may need to be installed also. For
instance, a full-scale woodworking shop would need a
special ventilation system and accoustical
construction. The estimated cost for equipping a 1,000
square-foot multi-purpose room with utilities for minor
workshop use, without special equipment, would be an
addi tional $15,000. The cost of special ventilation
and accoustical treatment is not yet known.
3. Office space for the Center has been increased from
100 square feet to 500 square feet and the storage
areas located on the west of the office have been
designed for future expansion of uses. In addition,
wet bars will be built into the mUlti-purpose room for
arts and crafts activities.
The main inner courtyard/rotunda area was deleted from
the original floor plan and an exterior plaza entry was
developed to reduce the amount of limited use area and
building cost. This resulted in open unprotected entry
points to individual activity areas however, which
became a security concern. As an alternative to the
plaza, a limited foyer/lobby area with interior
corridor access to activity rooms was prepared for
Agency consideration. This lobby can be utilized for
general play activities such as billiards or ping pong
and it will provide protection to users during
inclement weather. The enclosure also will provide
security to the building.

recommendation of April 6 has been prepared (Exhibit B-
7) and will be presented to the Agency. Design Review
Committee members have not evaluated the new elevation.
However, if the Agency accepts staff's recommendation
to add the enclosed foyer, the revised exterior
elevation will be forwarded to.the Committee during the
design development project phase.
Comparison with Former Bov's Club
In addition to the functional building design issues, Agency
members requested information regarding the facilities and
functions provided at the old Boy's Club compared to those
Page 4, Item
Meeting Date 5/16/89
proposed for the new Youth community Center and the extent
of the School District's future use of the facility.
The Boy's Club formerly operated on "I" Street was
approximately 14,500 square feet compared to the new Center
which will be 15,500 square feet (17,000 square feet with
enclosed foyer/lobby). The former Boy's Club had a
gymnasium and three mUlti-purpose rooms. The new Center
will have a gymnasium, a dance studio, and one large multi-
purpose room which can be partitioned into two rooms.
A representative of the Boy's/Girl's Club Association
indicated that the Boy's Club provided arts and crafts and
ceramic classes and limited woodworking instruction. The
gymnasium was used primarily for sports league basketball
and indoor soccer. Billiard and ping pong tables also were
available. Specific activities or programs for the new
Youth Community Center have not been decided to date. City
staff is currently developing a plan to determine a user
based on joint use with the School District. There are
several options available which are being reviewed: (1) the
City could be the major user and administer
recreational/quasi-educational programs: (2) the City could
contract with one or more local youth organi~tions to
provide programs: or (3) a combination of City and local
youth organizations could cooperatively provide programs.
In accordance with the approved Ground Lease/Joint Use
Agreement between the Agency and the School District, the
School District will have full use of the facility during
school hours: that is 7:30 a.m. to 2:25 p.m., Monday through
Friday, from September 12 to June 22. Also, the District
may use the facility during certain after-school hours and
certain hours of the day during summer vacation as mutually
agreed upon by the City and the District. Although School
District use is suh'ject to Agency approval and a formal
dialogue has not yet been undertaken, District staff have
indicated that the main uses contemplated at this time would
be dance classes and Junior Varsity basketball and wrestling

Buildinq Cost Estimate
The project architect has prepared a preliminary estimate
for building construction costs. It is based on a square
footage cost at this early date. More accurate figures will
become available following the Design Development Phase of
the project when more detail design and materials have been
determined.
The base building of approximately 15,500 square feet of
floor area with landscaping and pavement will cost
approximately $1,171,000. This figure also includes one set
of bleachers to seat 200 people and two sets of bleachers to

utility

it will
The enclosed foyer/lobby design shown on Exhibit B-6
(additional 1,500 square feet of space) was estimated at
$90,000. The architect has prepared a revised foyer/lobby
design, Exhibit B-7, in response to the Design Review
Committee's concerns. A cost estimate is not available at
this time for the revised version of the enclosure due to
its recent preparation and very conceptional nature, but
it will likely be less expensive to construct than the
original enclosure design.
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff I s recommendation to construct the
17,000 square foot building with enclosed foyer/lobby and
workshop utility outfitting will require approximately
$1,276,000. This figure would be reduced somewhat if the
Agency accepts the enclosed foyer alternative (Exhibit B-7)
which is consistent with the Design Review Committee's
recommendation for more of a "store front" treatment. As
indicated above, a cost estimate for the revised foyer plan
has not yet been developed. Additional cost wil~ be added
for ventilation and accoustical treatment of the multi-
purpose room if the Agency proceeds with the outfitting for
workshop use.
One Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars was pa~d
to the Agency from the Homart Development Company ~n
compensation for conveyance of the Fifth Avenue property and
the I Street youth facility property. One Million Dollars
was deposited into a Capital Improvement Program account for
the construction of a youth facility. After funding
planning and design studies, a balance of $867,000 remains
in the CIP account for construction of the facility. Future
appropriation of at least $409,000 will be necessary to
fully fund the project (based on the preliminary architect's
cost estimate). One source for most of the additional
... -'"J-" "" "funding would be the balance of the Homart contributions (in
~f- ~rl~'~""~xcess'-of.i:'$350,000 including accrued interest). Community
Development Block Grant funds could be used for funding the
remainder of the project~

Dear Mr. Goas:
On September I, 1988, the Board of Trustees of the Sweetwater Union High
School District approved the Ground Lease and Joint Use Agreement
between the District and the City of Chula Vista for the construction of the
Youth Facility located on the Chula Vista High School C8II1pus. It was the
Board's position that the best operator of that facility woUld be the City of
Chula Vista. Also, it was mutually agreed upon by both 'parties that if a
leasee was found for the building, the District would have the opportunity to
sub-approve said leasee.
The District strongly supports the idea of the City operating the facility in
the belief that it is the most responsible party to effectively operate this
facility in the best interest of all citizenry in the City of Chula Vista.
Sincerely,

FOR THE OPERRTION
OF THE
NEW
COMMUNITY
YOUTH
FACILITY
Introduction
The Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista has been successfully
serving the needs of youth in our community for 34 years. By
helping young people to gain self-confidence and the
motivation to succeed, the Club enables them to develop the
skills they need to become responsible citizens and leaders.
We current I y serve over 2,000 youth throughout the Chu I a
Vista area.
The Boys & Girls Club is proud of its achievements
including:
. . prov i ding Qua Ii tv. affordab 1 e. DrOqrams. Program fees
are kept low so any youth may participate. No chi ld is
ever turned away.
..the introduction of European Team Handball to the South
Bay area. I t has become so successfu I that now the
Parks and Recreation Department and local school
districts are starting handball programs. The Club has
co-sponsored the East I ake South Bay Summer Games each
summer, and has coordinated the Team Handball program
for the games each year as well.
..the Club's Fine Arts program has encouraged and assisted
members in developing their abi I ities. This has
resulted in their work being exhibited, as well as being
included in regional, and even national competition.
. .the initiation of a transportation program to improve
access to our serv ices from certa i n schoo 1 s. The Club
also took a leadership role in the development of a
coalition between the Chula Vista Elementary School
District, the Human Services Council, the YMCA, and the
Boys & Girls Club. This coal ition expanded transporta-
tion opportunities enabl ing chi ldren to get to after-
school youth programs.
..successfully developed a preschool and child care center
to meet the needs for quality, affordable child care as
determined by Chula Vista 2000.
. .the offedng of sports leagues for teens. Our teens
provide various conmunity service projects. This year
our programming for teens is greatly expanding and will
include Keystone Clubs, SMART Moves, and Teen Outreach.
The Boys & Girls Club is unique in that it uses recreation
as a "means" rather than an "end". Programs are "Youth
Centered" rather than "Activity Centered" which maintains a
focus on the needs of youth. Our staff works with children
from a variety of family backgrounds. They work very
closely with parents and schools to help meet individual
needs a ch i I d may have. By teach i ng boys and g i r I s to
believe in themselves, club staff provides a window of
opportunity for disadvantaged children and achieve
remarkable results.
With our successful program experience and with our
uniqueness as a youth development organization, we now want
to continue to help meet the needs of youth in our community
by expanding our services on the westside of Chula Vista.
Managing this new community youth facility will enable us to
serve more youth and provide more quality, affordable
programs.

noYs & GIRLS CLUB
OF CHULA VISTA
OVERVIEW
New Community Youth Facility
The Boys club of Chu1a Vista began providing services to the
youth of our corrmunity in 1957. In 1964, the Girls Club was
establ ished. In .July of 1987, the two organizations merged
and became the Girls club and Boys Club of Chula vista and
opened a new facit ity at 1301 Oleander Avenue. Prior to
that, the Girls Club was located at 350 L street and the
Boys Club was located at 5th and I street. About that same
time the Club at 5th and I closed in cooperation with the
City of Chula Vista and Homart Development to provide for
the expans ion of the Chu I a vista Center. There was great
concern on the part of numerous parents, children, and other
members of the corrmunity about closing that faci 1 ity as it
served a big need for youth services on the westside of
Chula Vista. Homart Development, however, made a sizable
contribution to go toward constructing a new youth facility
on the westside. This is the facility, as you know, that is
now being built on the grounds of Chula Vista High School.
The operation of this facility has been critical to us ever
since the closure of the Club at 5th and I to ensure that
quality services continue to be provided on the westside.
Our organ i zat i on today serves over, 2,000 ch i 1 dren, is open
2,100 hours a year, and is being attended by an average of
320 children each day. We have a voluntary Board of
Directors which has been greatly developed over the past few
years. We also are affiliates of and have the full support
of Boys 8< Girls Clubs of America, Girls Incorporated, and
the United Way of San Diego County.
What is the Bovs 8< Girls Club?
The mission of the Boys 8< Girls club of Chula vista is to
provide positive activities and opportunities to develop the
health, self-esteem, and character of the youth of our
community, enabling them to reach their fullest potential.
To accomplish our mission, we practice a set of principles.
The Boys 8< Girls Club:
...is for all boys and gir1s. Boys and girls of all
races, reI igion, and ethnic cultures can belong, giving
them a safe, fun, place of their own.
.. .requires no proof of good character. They help and
guide girls and boys who may be in danger of acquiring, or
who a 1 ready may have acqu ired, unacceptab 1 e hab i ts and
attitudes, as well as boys and girls of good character.
...makes sure that all girls and boys can afford to
belong. Membership dues are kept low so that all boys and
girls can afford to belong. No child is ever turned away.
... is bui lding centered. Activities are carried out in
the warm, friendly atmosphere of buildings especially
designed to conduct programs.
...has full-time professional leadership, supplemented by
part-time staff and volunteers.
. . . has an open door po Ii cy. The Club is open to all
members during scheduled hours of operation.
.. .has a varied and diversified program that recognizes
and responds to the co 11 ect i ve and i nd i v i dua 1 needs of
girls and boys.
... is guidance oriented.
make appropriate choices.
and self confidence.
We help chi ldren learn how to
We promote their self-esteem
Using these principles, we provide a core program based on
phys i ca 1 , emot i ona 1 , cu 1 tura 1 , and soc i a 1 needs and
interests of our youth. This program offers diversified
activities in six areas:
1. Personal & Educational Development
2. Citizenship & Leadership Development
3. Cultural Enrichment
4. Health & Physical Education
5. Social Recreation
6. Outdoor & Environmental Education
All of this is based on a youth development strategy whereby
our members acquire a sense of competence, a sense of
&.Isefulness, a sense of belonging, and a sense of power or
iJ'lf I uence.
When this strategy is fully implemented, the self-esteem of
our youth is enhanced and an env ironment is created wh i ch
helps them achieve their full potential.
In this way. our Boys & Girls Club is unique from other
public and private youth serving organizations.
Interest in New Facilitv
As previously stated, the Club has had an interest in this
facility ever since the closure of the club at 5th and I. We
are currently providing services at our L Street site (350 L
Street), however, the physical facility there is no longer
adequate with the number of children we are serving and the
scope of services we are providing. We are currently
serving an average of 18 children a day which in itself
exceeds the capacity of the actual building. This new
facility provides the opportunity for growth in the number
of children being served; and for prOgram development,
expanding the services to be provided.
One of the things that is unique about a Boys & Girls Club
is that its target population is toward youth from
low-income and minority families. Over 60~ of the children
currently being served on the westside fall into this target
population. This is why, while the city is growing and
developing to the east, .e are looking to grow and develop
~re on the westside. We feel that this is an area that is
'under-served and has the greatest need.

BOYS & GIRLS CLUB
OF CHULA VISTA
OPERA TIONAL
PLAN
New Community Youth Facility
.
We propose that the Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista manage
'thi s new facil ity through a sub-l ease agreement with the
city at a cost of $1.00 a year.
The Club would operate the facility when not in use by the
~igh School in accordance with the joint use agreement
between the City and the Sweetwater Union High School
District. We would ask that there be greater clarification
as to the extent of the usage by the High School.
Coordination of Faci1itv Use
We are committed to coordinating and promoting faci 1 ity
usage with other community organizations as it is available.
We do this on an ongoing basis already at our Oleander
facility. We currently work cooperatively with the
Sweetwater Union High School District, Boys Scouts, YMCA,
N.A. (Narcotics Anonymous), and various other community
groups in utilizing our facility as it is available.
The Boys & Girls Club would primad ly operate programs in
the facility between 2:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday. Other pre-planned events may be scheduled in
advance for activities such as monthly dances and special
tournaments.
Other times
organizations

would be coordinated with other community
such as the YMCA and the Parks and Recreation
Staffin~
Boys & Girls Club Staff playa key role in helping members
to gain self-esteem and develop social skills. Trained
staff uses group activities to gain the respect and trust of
young people and teach teamwork, leadership and how to get
along with other.
We currently .have a trained staff at our L Street facility
.; which would move into this faci 1 ity. The staff is managed
,by a fUll-time professional program director who is on-site.
We would add additional staff needed to implement expanded
programming. The Club maintains staff ratios of 1: 15 to
ensure quality programming as we11 as to ensure the safety
and well-being of all Club members.
In addition to the. above-mentioned staff and volunteers,
admi n i strat i ve overs i ght and support is prov i ded by the
Executive Director, Director of Operations, Secretary, and
Accountant.
Eauicment
We would provide the equipment necessary to operate the
facility. This would include, but would not necessarily be
limited to, tables, chairs, desks, sports equipment, social
recreation equipment, and cubbies. ~ome equipment we
'currently have on hand at other program sites. We also have
funds set aside for this equipment over and above what has
been budgeted for .operating expenses. We would further
secure additional start up funds as needed.
Financial Plan
Our current annual budget for our L street site is
$124,692.00. These funds would be diverted to this new
site. Projected expenses for the new faci 1 ity for the ten
month period September 1, 1991 to June 30, 1992 are
$114,599.00. The projected budget is included with this
proposal. The sources of our income include United Way,
donations, membership, fund raising, and bingo. All sources
have been steadi ly increasing and we anticipate they wi II
continue to do so. We are also developing an aggressive
annual giving program and endowment program to ensure
financial security. We have a copy of our latest financial
audit on file should you request it.
Facilitv Maintenance
Regarding concerns that have been expressed about our
ability to properly maintain this facility, we certainly
have that capability. Provisions can easily be included in
the lease agreement to ensure that bui Iding standards are
~aintained or the lease would be nullified.
"'he Club has recent Iy hired a Director 'Of Operations with
C>ne of their primary responsibi I ities being faci I ity
_anagement. The Board of Directors Administration Committee
also has the responsibility of facility management
oversight. Our Oleander facility has a regular maintenance
.plan which includes a janitorial service, landscaping
.ervice, a landscaping plan,. and. scheduled ..preventative
lIIaintenance functions. A maintenance plan'~'.hould also be
developed for this facility in conjunction with ~he city and

OF CHULA VISTA
PROGRAMMING
New Communitlj Youth Facilitlj
One uniqueness of Boys & Girls Clubs is that they have an
"open door" whereby kids have a place to go as they need to.
Programs are designed to be developmental and guidance-
oriented in nature. The staff serve as positive role models
for the youth and this in turn creates positive relation-
ships between the children and the staff.
Having fun - with a .purpose - is a key to understanding the
Boys & Girls Club experience. Team sports and social
recreation are a major initial attraction to the Club. Once
there, young people become involved in various other
programs that also promote their physical, social, and
educational development. Accordingly, program activities
are planned to provide a variety of informal activities,
single session activities, and structured activities. Club
members are encouraged to get invo 1 ved in a var iety of
activities and to make choices.
Teen programming would be a major focus to our programming
as we feel this is an under-served population with great
need. Our Oleander faci I ity has been very successful in
developing sports leagues for teens. Our teens have also
been very involved in service projects for the community.
Additionally, we have developed a "Teen Outreach" program
which is scheduled to start in our new teen room within the
next few weeks. Our L street facility currently has a Teen
Club which has involved teens in field trips, discussion
groups, and community service projects.
Activities change regularly as our staff is committed to
planning a diverse program to meet the interest and needs of
our Club members. Input into the types of programs to be
offered will be sought from our Club members, our parents
advisory committee, the Chula Vista Youth Commbsion, and
our Board Administration Committee.

MEETING DATE: 09/17 /91
REVIEWED BY:
REFERRAL NO. 2401
At the August 13, 1991 City Council Meeting, Council directed that staff bring back the
issue of staff support for the Mayor and City Council. This report is meant to be a recap
of two prior reports on this subject and to provide additional staffing and funding
alternatives from which Council can determine which option to implement.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the report and provide direction regarding the
Council staffing alternatives.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
BACKGROUND
The issue of Council staffing has been considered by the Council three times this year. The
first report, dated January 18, 1991, outlined four general options for staffing and was
discussed at Council's January 24 goal-setting meeting. The second report, dated April 2,
1991, further addressed the staffing option for which Council had expressed the most
interest at its January 24, 1991 meeting and provided a more detailed discussion of several
ancillary issues. At its April 2 meeting, the Council decided to defer consideration of that
report until the Council's budget deliberations (as Supplemental Budget Report #21). On
June 10, 1991 the Council voted to file the report. The above reports are attached. On
August 13, 1991 Council referred the issue back to staff to review additional alternatives
and funding sources, which are addressed in this report.
The January 18, 1991 "City Council Staffing" report outlined four general options for
staffing. Those options were:
1. Maintain status quo (1 Senior Management Assistant, 2 Clerical positions)
!
2. Provide additional support from other existing Management Assi~tant
positions (3 in Administration, 2 in Public Works, 1 each in Police and P,arks
and Recreation)'
3. Add 1 full-time professional staff position to help support the Mayor ,and
Council
4. Add 2 full time equivalent (FTE) positions to provide a half time person to
support each of the Councilmembers with the existing Senior Management
\l.\:,l.
~-
PAGE 3, ITEM: ) L./
MEETING DATE:09J1m1
Assistant position providing support to the Mayor and helping coordinate the
activities of the four half-time positions.
The April 2, 1991 "Report on Potential Approaches to Council Staffing" further addressed
option #4 from the above report that Council had expressed the most interest in at its
January 24, 1991 meeting. The remainder of the April 2, 1991 report specifically focused
on:
Employee status and method of selection
Ongoing cost and how to pay for Council Staffing
- Physical location and initial facilities
- Role and coordination issues
At its August 13, 1991 meeting, Council directed staff to prepare a report that would
provide for additional Council staff assistance with no net cost to the General Fund.
Specifically, the Council was interested in reviewing an alternative that would provide
for one additional full-time equivalent position that would allow each of the four
Councilmembers to have 8-10 hours per week of part-time staff assistance, with the
existing full-time professional position restructured to provide assistance to the Mayor
rather than to the entire City Council. The Council also directed staff to further review
viable methods that such additional Council assistance could be provided with no net
cost to the General Fund.
DISCUSSION
Since there are several alternatives regarding the full-time professional posltlon
(currently being filled by Shauna Stokes on a temporary basis) as well as for the part-
time assistants, each will be discussed separately below. In all of the alternatives, it is
assumed that the existing two clerical positions -- the Secretary to the Mayor and City
Council (currently filled by Patty Wesp) and the Administrative Office Assistant III
(currently filled by Diana Vargas) -- would continue to provide clerical support to the
Mayor and the entire City Council.
The alternatives discussed below in Section 1 regarding the full-time professional
position are:
1.A. Classified Senior Management Assistant Position
1.B. Unclassified Assistant to the Mayor (or Assistant to the Mayor and City
Council) position
\~~~
PAGE 4, ITEM: ~
MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
1.c. Contract position
The alternatives discussed below in Section 2 regarding the part-time Council Assistant
positions to support the four Councilmembers are:
2.A. No Part-Time Council Assistants
2.B. Four Quarter-Time Council Assistants
2.C. Five Quarter-Time Council Assistants
An underlying issue regarding all of these alternatives is whether the appointing
authority for such positions should be the City Manager, the Mayor, or the entire City
Council. As mentioned in the April 2, 1991 report on Council staffing, there is some
ambiguity in the City Charter regarding this issue. After further reviewing the issue,
however, the City Attorney's Office has concluded in the attached memo that the City
Council can appoint Council staff (in addition to the City Manager, City Attorney, City
Clerk, and Secretary to the Mayor and City Council) if they first make the Office of
Mayor and City Council a department. Such Council staff would be prohibited from
performing, individually or on behalf of a Council member, any "administrative
functions" and from interfering with the City Manager in his performance of
"administrative functions." They would be appointed and terminated by a three fifths
vote of the Council and would be supervised by the Mayor. Ordinance 1.B.-2.B.-2.C.
would establish a Department of the Office of Mayor and City Council (three fifths vote
required) and is necessary to implement Alternatives LB., 2.B., or 2.C. as Council
appointments. The Ordinance includes an option to make it an urgency ordinance (four
fifths vote required).
As indicated in the April 2 report, the City Manager could instead be designated the
appointing authority for these alternatives, and would certainly continue to seek the
input of the City Council in making appointments to positions such as these and in
evaluating their performance. The resolutions necessary to implement Alternatives LB.,
2.B., and 2.C. have each therefore been prepared with an option to have the positions
budgeted in the City Manager's Office and appointed by the City Manager, in addition
to the Council appointment option described above.
1. ALTERNATIVES REGARDING FUIl.-TIME PROFESSIONAL POSmON
There are three basic ways the existing full-time professional position assigned to
support the Mayor and City Council could be structured. In each of the three
alternatives the position could be assigned to assist the Mayor and City Council
or just the Mayor, depending on how any additional part-time positions are
structured (this latter issue is addressed in Section 2 below).

MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
H
Shauna Stokes, who has been temporarily assigned to this position for the last
three months, has prepared a memo that is attached that describes her
experience and observations regarding the position and its duties. Although her
memo suggests the possibility of downgrading the Senior Management Assistant
position to Administrative Analyst I or II and adding some additional part-time
clerical staff, this alternative is not being formally proposed for Council
consideration but rather is provided as background information. Since some
members of the Council have expressed an interest in having more direct
assistance with research and the development of policy proposals, downgrading
of the position is not recommended.
The three basic alternative ways the existing full-time professional position could
be structured are as follows:
1.A Classified Senior Management Assistant Position
Since FY 1987-88 there has been a Senior Management Assistant position
budgeted in the City Manager's Office that has been assigned to provide
assistance to the Mayor and City Council. This position is hired and
supervised by the City Manager's Office with input from the Council. The
position is physically located in the Office of Mayor and City Council and
provides direct assistance to the Mayor and Councilmembers, as well as
helping oversee the management of the office. The Senior Management
Assistant classification is in the Middle Management group and is a
classified, civil service position. Its current salary range is $39,206-47,665
plus benefits for a total annual cost of $50,667-60,330.
This alternative is thus the status quo alternative, although it should be
noted that the person currently filling this position is doing so on a
temporary basis and that assignment is scheduled to end soon. If Council
selects this alternative, the City Manager will therefore appoint someone
from the current Senior Management Assistant list to this position as soon
as possible, with input from the City Council on the appointment. Since
this is a currently budgeted position, no further Council action is required
to implement this alternative. As indicated above, this position could
provide assistance to the Mayor and City Councilor just to the Mayor,
depending on how any additional part-time positions are structured.
The advantages of this alternative include: (1) it avoids the "multiple
boss" problem of having the position report to all five members of the City
Council; (2) it helps insure proper communication and coordination with
the City Manager's Office and City departments and is the most consistent
\l\ ~S
PAGE 6, ITEM: I~
MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
with the Council-Manager form of government; and (3) it keeps the
position within a standard City classification series and thus makes it part
of a career ladder and available for job rotation.
The disadvantages of this alternative include: (1) the Mayor and City
Council may not receive the same level of assistance from this type of
position as from a position directly hired and supervised by them; and (2)
there would be less flexibility in hiring and firing a classified, civil service
employee reporting to the City Manager than under the following
alternatives.
1.B. Unclassified Assistant to the Mayor Position
The second alternative regarding the full-time professional position would
be to eliminate the Senior Management Assistant position currently
budgeted in the City Manager's Office to provide assistance to the Mayor
and City Council and replace it with a new unclassified position budgeted
in the Office of Mayor and City Council. The new position might be titled
"Assistant to the Mayor" or "Assistant to the Mayor and City Council",
depending on how any additional part-time positions are structured. The
position could use the office currently assigned to the Senior Management
Assistant and oversee the management of the office.
Regardless of whether this position is structured to provide assistance to
the entire City Councilor just the Mayor, the City Attorney's Office has
concluded that the position would need to be supervised by the Mayor
and appointed (or terminated) by a three fifths vote of the Council. In
order for the position to be appointed by the City Council, the City
Attorney's Office has concluded that the position needs to be a part of the
Office of the Mayor and City Council, including being budgeted therein.
As discussed previously, this alternative would also require that the
Council establish the Department of the Office of Mayor and City Council
by approving Ordinance l.B.-2.B.-2.C. (three fifths vote required). The
proposed ordinance includes an option to make it an urgency ordinance
(four fifths vote required) if it determines facts exist that justify the
urgency creation of the department.
The Council would need to create the positIon as unclassified in an
ordinance approved by a four fifths vote and find that it is a management
level position. Staff would suggest that such a position be included in the
Mid-Management group at a salary range equivalent to that of the Senior
Management Assistant classification.
\4 ~~

MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
11./
Since the person currently filling the Senior Management Assistant
position is doing so on a temporary basis and there are current vacancies
in other positions to which both that person and the previous incumbent
can be transferred, this alternative could be implemented after the
completion of whatever recruitment and selection process the Council
deems appropriate.
Should Council decide on this alternative, Resolution LB. would amend
the FY 1991-92 budget to eliminate the Senior Management Assistant
position in the City Manager's Office and establish the position of
Assistant to the Mayor in the Office of Mayor and City Council, and
transfer the necessary funds (approximately $47,700 for the remainder of
this fiscal year) in employee services accounts from the City Manager's
Office to the Office of Mayor and City Council. Resolution 1.B. also adds
this position to the Middle Management group and establishes its salary
range at the same level as that of Senior Management Assistant. (This
resolution requires a four fifths vote.) Ordinance LB. creates this position
as an unclassified management level position (four fifths vote required).
The proposed ordinance includes an option to make it an urgency
ordinance (four fifths vote also required) if the Council determines facts
exist that justify urgency creation of the position. Depending on Council's
determination regarding additional part-time positions, Resolution LB.
and Ordinance LB. could be changed to retitle the position as Assistant to
the Mayor and City Council instead of Assistant to the Mayor.
If the Council decides to implement this alternative and approves both
Resolution LB. and Ordinance LB., the Council could conduct whatever
recruitment and selection process it deems appropriate and proceed to
appoint the Assistant. If the Council approves Resolution LB. but does
not approve Ordinance LB., the Assistant position would be placed in the
classified service and the recruitment and selection process would need to
be conducted in accordance with standard civil service rules. In either
case, the City Council would need to make the appointment by a three
fifths vote.
The advantages of this alternative include: (1) it provides more direct
control of the position by the Mayor and City Council; and (2) there
would be more flexibility in hiring and firing an unclassified employee
than a classified civil service employee.
The disadvantages of this alternative include: (1) it creates a multiple
boss situation with the position being supervised by the Mayor but hired
,~..1
PAGE 8, ITEM:
MEETING DATE: 09/17/91

and fired by all five members of the City Council; (2) it makes
communication and coordination with the City Manager's Office and City
departments less of a priority for the Assistant; and (3) it separates the
Assistant from the professional management assistant classification series
and thus provides no career ladder and inhibits job rotation opportunities.
Resolution 1.B. also provides an option that would make the City Manager
the appointing authority for the position.
1.C. Contract Position
The third alternative regarding the full-time professional position would
be to eliminate the Senior Management Assistant position currently
budgeted in the City Manager's Office to provide assistance to the Mayor
and City Council and replace it with a contract position budgeted in the
Office of Mayor and City Council. The contract position could provide
assistance to the entire City Councilor just to the Mayor, depending on
how any additional part-time positions are structured. The position could
use the office currently assigned to the Senior Management Assistant and
the contractual responsibilities could be virtually the same as those in the
previous two alternatives. The annual contract amount would probably
be limited to a maximum of $60,330, the maximum salary and benefit
cost of a Senior Management Assistant position. A contract position
would not receive benefits such as PERS retirement or health insurance
contributions.
The consultant selection procedures provided in Section 2.56.230 of the
Municipal Code specify the process that would need to be followed to
select and award a contract to such an independent contractor, unless
those procedures were waived. If such a contract were for the full-time or
almost full-time services of an independent contractor, the procedures for
contracts estimated to cost more than $25,000 would apply. These
procedures include: the appointment of a three or five member Selection
Committee by the City Manager (which could include members of the City
Council), personal interviews by the Selection Committee of at least three
potential contractors with a ranking of the interviewees sent to the
responsible department head, the department head attempting to negotiate
a contract with the highest ranked interviewee, and award of the contract
by a three fifths vote of the City Council. Such a contract would also be
terminated by a three fifths vote of the Council.
Should Council decide on this alternative, Resolution 1.C. would amend
the FY 1991-92 budget to eliminate the Senior Management Assistant
\l\-%
PAGE 9, ITEM: J 4
MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
position and transfer the necessary funds (maximum of approximately
$47,700 for the remainder of the fiscal year) from employee services
accounts in the City Manager's Office to professional services accounts
within the Office of Mayor and City Council budget. This resolution
requires a four fifths vote.
The advantages and disadvantages of this alternative are essentially the
same as for Alternative LB. (Unclassified Assistant to the Mayor Position)
except that it has an additional disadvantage. In the attached memo, the
City Attorney's Office advises against the use of a contract position to
provide these types of services, rather than using an employee in either
the Classified or Unclassified City Service. The primary concerns
expressed in that memo regarding the use of a contract position include:
(1) whether the type of services provided by the contract position and the
nature of the position's work environment would qualify it for
"independent contractor" status, and (2) the potential liability exposure
the City might incur by using a contract position in this situation.
While these concerns may not preclude the contract position alternative,
staff would recommend against this alternative based on the advice of the
City Attorney's office.
All three of the alternatives presented above regarding the full-time professional
position could be funded by the amount already budgeted for the Senior
Management Assistant position.
2. ALTERNATIVES REGARDING PART-TIME COUNCIL ASSISTANTS
This section presents three alternatives regarding part-time Council Assistants:
(2.A.) no part-time Council Assistants; (2.B.) four quarter-time Council
Assistants; and (2.C) five quarter-time Council Assistants. In all of these
alternatives, it is assumed that the existing two clerical positions assigned to the
Office of Mayor and City Council would continue to provide support to all five
members of the Council. The role of the full-time professional position discussed
above would vary in the three alternatives, as discussed below. As discussed
previously, the resolutions for Alternatives 2.B. and 2.C. each provide an option
regarding whether the positions are appointed by the Councilor by the City
Manager.
2.A. No Part-Time Council Assistants
In this alternative, the full-time professional position discussed in Section
1 would continue to provide assistance to all five members of the Council
\'-\ .'\
PAGE 10, ITEM: I~
MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
and no part-time Council Assistants would be added. This alternative is
thus a status quo alternative and would not require any further Council
action or special funding techniques. It would not, however, provide
additional assistance to the Council.
2.8. Four Quarter-Time Council Assistants
In this alternative one full-time equivalent position would be added to the
Office of Mayor and City Council in the form of four quarter-time Council
Assistant positions. Each of these positions would be available to provide
assistance to one of the four Councilmembers, and the full-time
professional position would provide assistance to the Mayor.
As discussed in the April 2, 1991 Council Agenda Statement, staff would
suggest that such Council Assistant positions be unclassified part-time
hourly employees. As long as they work fewer than 999 hours per fiscal
year (about half time), employees in this status generally do not receive
benefits (e.g. paid vacation, PERS retirement or health insurance) other
than Medi-Care and Social Security or equivalent contributions. In order
to provide flexibility to the four Councilmembers in terms of the level of
support, education, and experience they expect of their Council Assistant,
an annual cost range of about $5,000 to $9,000 per quarter-time Council
Assistant would be suggested. This would be equivalent to rates of about
$10 to $18 per hour for 8 to 10 hours of work per week.
This could be accomplished by establishing a new classification series of
Council Assistant I, II, and III with hourly rates respectively at the low,
medium, and high levels of the above range. Staff would suggest that
these classifications be included in the Unrepresented group; as part-time
hourly employees they would by definition be unclassified positions. In
the attached memo, the City Attorney's Office has concluded that each of
these Council Assistants would need to be appointed (and terminated) by
a three fifths vote of the City Council and they would all be supervised by
the Mayor.
The maximum cost of this alternative would be about $36,000 per year
for four quarter-time Council Assistant III positions. In this alternative
staff would suggest that each of the four Councilmembers be entitled to
have one Council Assistant, at whichever of the three levels is appropriate
for the Councilmember's needs, who can work up to 500 hours per fiscal
year. For reasons discussed in the April 2, 1991 Agenda Statement, staff
would suggest that the Council limit the number of Council Assistants to
one per Councilmember. If any of the four Councilmembers (current or
\'\ ~ 1 0
PAGE 11, ITEM: N
MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
future) decided not to have a Council Assistant, the cost of Council
Assistants would be reduced accordingly.
This alternative reflects staffs understanding of the referral made at the
August 13, 1991 Council meeting. Should Council decide on this
alternative, Resolution 2.8. would amend the FY 1991-92 budget to
establish 1 full-time equivalent Council Assistant III position in the Office
of Mayor and City Council and authorize each of the four Councilmembers
to have the assistance of one Council Assistant for up to 500 hours per
fiscal year, with partial years prorated. Resolution 2.8. also establishes
the classifications of Council Assistant I, II, and III as unclassified part-
time hourly classifications in the Unrepresented group, with hourly rates
ranging from $10 to $18, and specifies that Council Assistants would be
appointed by a three fifths vote of the Council. The resolution also
amends the FY 1991-92 budget to transfer the necessary funds
(approximately $28,500 for the remainder of this fiscal year) in employee
services accounts from the Management Services Department to the Office
of Mayor and City Council. (This funding from Management Services is
discussed further below.) Resolution 2.8. requires a four fifths vote.
As discussed previously, this alternative would also require that the
Council establish the Department of the Office of Mayor and City Council
by approving Ordinance 1.8.-2.8.-2.C. (three fifths vote required). That
proposed ordinance includes an option to make it an urgency ordinance
(four fifths vote required) if the Council determines facts exist that justify
the urgency creation of the department.
2.C. FIVE QUARTER-TIME COUNCIL ASSISTANTS
In this alternative 1.25 full time equivalent positions would be added to
the Office of Mayor and City Council in the form of five quarter-time
Council Assistant III positions. Each of these positions would be available
to provide assistance to one of the five members of the City Council,
including the Mayor. The full-time professional position would provide
assistance to all five members of the Council, oversee office operations,
and perhaps help coordinate the activities of the five quarter-time
Assistants. The Assistants would perform the functions of constituent
relations, representing Councilmembers at community meetings, possibly
assisting in the development of policy proposals, and other related duties.
As in Alternative 2.8., these Council Assistants would need to be
appointed by a three fifths vote of the Council and they would all be
supervised by the Mayor.
\'\-11
PAGE 12, ITEM: ~
MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
The maximum cost of this alternative would be about $45,000 per year.
Should Council decide on this alternative, Resolution 2oCo would amend
the FY 1991-92 budget to establish 1.25 full time Council Assistant III
positions in the Office of Mayor and City Council and authorize each of
the five members of the Council to have the assistance of one Council
Assistant for up to 500 hours per fiscal year, with partial years prorated.
Resolution 2.C. also establishes the classifications of Council Assistant I, II,
III as unclassified part-time hourly classifications in the Unrepresented
group, with hourly rates ranging from $10 to $18, and specifies that
Council Assistants would be appointed by a three fifths vote of the City
Council. The resolution also amends the FY 1991-92 budget to transfer
the necessary funds (approximately $35,600 for the remainder of this
fiscal year) in employee services accounts from the Management Services
Department to the Office of Mayor and City Council. Resolution 2.C.
requires a four fifths vote.
As discussed previously, this alternative would also require that the
Council establish the Department of the Mayor and City Council by
approving Ordinance 2oBo-3.B.-3.C. (three fifths vote required). The
proposed ordinance includes an option to make it an urgency ordinance
(four fifths vote required) if it determines facts exist that justify the
urgency creation of the department.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCE FOR COUNCIL ASSISTANTS
Alternative 2.A. above does not require any additional funding, but Alternative
2.B. requires up to $36,000 for a full year ($28,500 for the remainder of this
fiscal year) and Alternative 2.C. requires up to $45,000 for a full year ($35,600
for the remainder of this fiscal year).
In a separate report on the Council's September 17 agenda regarding the City's
budget, staff is proposing to consolidate two positions in the Management
Services Department into one position as an economy measure. The existing
Deputy City Manager/Director of Management Services position and the
currently vacant Information Systems Manager position are proposed to be
consolidated into a new position of Director of Management and Information
Services. The current Deputy City Manager/Director of Management Services
would then fill the currently vacant Deputy City Manager position in the City
Manager's Office. This proposal will eliminate one position in Management
Services and reduce the salary level of the other. This proposal will save
approximately $94,000 per year ($74,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year),
and this reduction could be used to fund either Alternative 2.B. or 2.C.
\L\-l"L
PAGE 13, ITEM: ~
MEETING DATE: 09/17/91
OlliER ISSUES
The April 4, 1991 Agenda Statement addressed the issue of physical location and
facilities for Council Assistants as well as several role and coordination issues. That
report suggested that no funds be allocated for furniture for part-time Council Assistants
since it was assumed that they would use the current desks and furniture of the
Councilmembers they assist. That report further suggested that the Council establish a
Council subcommittee to work out in more detail with the City Manager the "role and
coordination" issues described in that report. Depending on which alternatives
presented in this report are selected by the Council, it may still be helpful to establish
such a Council subcommittee to prepare a proposed Council policy regarding roles and
coordination for consideration by the entire Council.
As discussed in the April 4 report, it should be noted that Council assistants would
essentially be subject to the same prohibitions that already apply to Councilmembers
themselves. These prohibitions include participating or assisting in any improper
political activities as set forth in Section 707 of the Charter or interfering with the City
Manager or Department Heads in their performance of duties (Section 305 of the
Charter).
FISCAL IMPACf:
As presented, alternatives LA., LB., 1.C., and 2.A. would have no fiscal impact on the
City budget.
Alternative 2.B. would cost up to $36,000 for a full year ($28,500 for the remainder of
this fiscal year) and Alternative 2.C. would cost up to $45,000 for a full year ($35,600
for the remainder of this fiscal year). Proposed reductions in the Management Services
Department could be used to offset those costs so there would be no net cost to the
General Fund.

SUBJECT: Staffing for City Council
In order to evaluate the City Council's request for additional Council
staffing, it is necessary to review the existing duties of the existing staff
and potential future duties of existing or new staff.

18. Responding to citizen calls or correspondence.
19. Coordination and communication between the offices of the Mayor/City
Council, the City Manager and the public.
20. Coordination with appropriate City staff regarding the status of Council
referrals or projects.
21. Attendance at meetings with the Mayor and/or Council members; provlslon of
follow-up and support and background information; and preparation of
summary notices.
22. Coordination with City staff in responding to citizen complaints or
inquiries.
Potential Future Duties
23. Research of background information for, or preparation of, reports/studies.
24. Attendance at meetings on Council's behalf.
25. Attendance at or staffing of special task forces/community groups.
In reviewing these duties, it becomes apparent that a majority of the tasks
are oriented to the secretarial and office managerial area (Items 1-17). In
view of this situation, consideration should be given to shifting
responsibilities of the existing staff members to better suit their
classifications and serve the Council more effectively. The Secretary to the
Mayor and Council acts as the de facto Office Manager, given the high level of
job responsibility and duties currently entrusted to her. The Administrative
Office Assistant can certainly undertake more of the secretarial functions.
The Senior Management Assistant position has functioned as the Office Manager
and, as a result, has tended to be viewed as more of a clerical rather than
professional position. Duties carried out by this position could be
transferred to a new position of Council Assistant, budgeted at the
Administrative Assistant/Management Assistant I or II level (Items 18-23), and
to the Secretary to the Mayor and Council (Items 11-17). The Senior
Management Assistant position could then be eliminated in favor of adding the
Council Assistant and part-time Administrative Office Assistant II.
A part-time Administrative Office Assistant II could be added to Council's
staff to perform duties listed in Items 1-4, freeing up the other two
secretarial positions to do more direct work for Council (Items 5-17). Other
staff from the City Manager's Office could then be responsible for staffing
task forces and attending certain meetings on Council's behalf.
Management Assistant positions are better suited to administrative duties.
The type of work required by Council in its office is geared toward office
management, secretarial and constituent assistance as found in other
legislative offices.

SUBJECT:
Potential Approaches to Council Staffing
At its April 2, 1991 meeting, the City Council considered the attached report on Potential
Approaches to Council Staffing. At that meeting, the Council decided to defer
consideration of the report until the Council's budget deliberations.
This supplemental budget report therefore transmits the April 2 agenda statement for
further Council consideration either during the regular budget deliberations or after the
implications of the State's budget reductions on the City's budget are better known.

TITI.E:
Report on Potential Approaches to Council Staffing
SUBMITfED BY: City Manage~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NolO
At the Januaty 24, 1991 Council Goal-Setting meeting, the Council discussed the attached
report dated January 18, 1991 regarding City Council staffing. Pages 3-5 of the report
highlighted four general options regarding Council staffing. At the meeting, some Council
interest was expressed in both options 2 & 4, with the most interest in option #4 (which
is described further below). There was a desire for staff to return with a more in depth
report which this A-113 is designed to accomplish. Several Councilmembers requested that
the City Manager review the City budget to identify potential methods for funding Council
staffing without any increase in the net City budget. There was also Council interest
expressed in forming a Council Subcommittee to further review and refine the Council
staffing issue, but the Council decided not to form a Council Subcommittee on this subject,
at least not until after the Council had considered a staff report further describing methods
of implementing Council staffing and providing funding therefore.
This report is intended to provide the follow-up information requested at the January 24
Council meeting and to provide a structure for further Council discussion and policy
direction regarding Council staffing.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Discuss the alternative methods described in this report for implementing Council
staffing and provide further policy direction to staff (a general guide on how to
implement this is contained in the Summary section of this report).
2_ Determine whether the Council wishes to form a Council Subcommittee to further
review issues related to Council staffing.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
As indicated above, at the Januaty 24 meeting the Council expressed the most interest in
option #4 on page 5 of the attached report. This option would add the equivalent of two
full-time assistants to support the Council work effort. This would probably be in the form
of providing the equivalent of a half-time person to support each of the four
Councilmembers, with the existing Senior Management Assistant position providing support
to the Mayor and helping coordinate the activities of the four part-time assistants to try to
avoid duplication of effort. Alternatively, there could be two full-time positions that would
?>~~I-
l Y: ... !> I
PAGE 2, ITEM: 33
MEETING DATE: 4/02191
support the four Councilmembers with each Councilmember entitled to half of the time of
one of these two full-time assistants. The remainder of this report is based on the
assumption that Council is interested in pursuing the four part-time assistants as the
preferred approach to implementing option #4.
In terms of the type of support that Council assistants would provide to individual
Councilmembers, it is presumed that most of the effort would be in the areas of constituent
and community relations and policy development and review. The constituent and
community relations category would include such activities as responding to citizen
inquiries and complaints, attending meetings of various community groups on behalf of a
Councilmember, and assisting with special community events. The policy development and
review category would include information gathering, research, and helping formulate
proposals from a Councilmember for consideration by the entire City Council. The Council
assistants would also help coordinate requests for information from Councilmembers to the
City Manager's office and other City staff.
The remainder of this report addresses the following four issues:
1. Employee status and method of selection
2. Ongoing cost and how to pay for assistants
3. Physical location and initial facilities
4. Role and coordination issues
1. EMPLOYEE STATUS AND METHOD OF SELECTION
In order to provide maximum flexibility, particularly in the scheduling of hours for Council
assistants, and to help minimize their cost, it would probably be most appropriate to have
the Council assistants as unclassified part-time hourly employees. As long as they work
fewer than 999 hours per fiscal year, employees in this status generally do not receive
benefits (e.g. paid vacation, PERS retirement or health insurance) other than Medi-Care
and (starting July 1) Social Security contributions.
There is some ambiguity in the City Charter regarding whether the Council can appoint
employees (in addition to the Secretary to the Mayor and Council) within the Office of
Mayor and City Council or whether the City Manager must make such appointments. The
City Attorney's Office is further reviewing this legal issue, but even if the City Manager is
required to make such appointments the involvement of the Councilmember to be
supported by an assistant would certainly be sought in selecting and evaluating the
assistant.
l4- ~2-
~!>.L.
PAGE 3, ITEM: ~
MEETING DATE: 4/02/91
If the City Attorney's Office detenrunes that the City Charter does not require that the City
Manager appoint the Council assistants, the City Manager's staff could assist in recruiting
and/or screening candidates if the Council so desires. The positions could be advertised
and the applications screened, with the better qualified candidates interviewed by the City
Manager's staff and the resulting top three to five candidates provided to the
Councilmembers for final evaluation. To make this approach workable, however, the
individual Councilmembers would need to inform the City Manager's office of their needs
in terms of scheduling the assistant's hours of work (such as evenings or weekends) and
in terms of skills that are particularly important to meet an individual Councilmember's
support needs. This type of assistance in the selection process is entirely optional,
however, for unclassified part-time hourly employees, and it might be more efficient for the
Councilmembers to conduct their own selection process. It should be noted, however, that
the City Attorney's Office advises that the entire City Council would need to appoint the
assistants, not individual Councilmembers.
2. ONGOING COST AND HOW TO PAY FOR ASSISTANTS
The cost of the Council assistants could vary, depending upon the level of support,
education, and experience expected of them. For purposes of discussion, however, it is
assumed that the cost of each part-time assistant would be in the range of $10,000 -
$18,000 (including Medi-Care and Social Security contributions equal to 7.65% of salary)
per year for up to 999 hours of work] For four assistants, the total cost is thus estimated
to be between $40,000 and $72,000 per year. If a current or future Councilmember
decides not to have a Council assistant, this would reduce the cost of Council staffing
accordingly.
As Council requested, staff has prepared a list of several alternatives to cover all or part of
the cost of Council assistants so that these positions would not have an adverse impact on
the General Fund. Those alternatives are described below.
The first two alternatives involve cost reductions that are either already in progress or are
already planned:
A. The phase out of the payments to the Bonita/Sunnyside Fire Protection
District for automatic aid.
'The City of Irvine, for example, allocates $18,000 per Councilmember for staff assistance.
\4~~3
~!I ' 3-
PAGE 4, ITEM: ~
MEETING DATE: 4/02191
In November 1989 the City and the Bonita/Sunnyside Fire Protection District
agreed to phase out the payments the City had previously made to the
District for automatic aid response. Under this phase out program, the FY
1988-89 payments to the District of over $50,000 were reduced to $35,000
in FY 89-90, to $20,000 in FY 90-91, to $5,000 in FY 91-92, and will be
eliminated in FY 92-93. When this phase out is complete, the annual savings
to the City will be over $50,000. As indicated above, $15,000 of this
reduction is thus occurring in the current fiscal year, and an additional
$15,000 will be saved next fiscal year.
B. Elimination of the fourth Battalion Chief position in the Fire Department.
When the Montgomery area annexed to the City, the City absorbed the
Montgomery Fire Protection District staff, including its Chief as a fourth
Battalion Chief in the Chula Vista Fire Department. When he retires at the
end of December, 1991, staff is proposing that the fourth Battalion Chief
position be eliminated. This will result in a savings of approximately
$42,500 for the last half of FY 1991-92, and $85,000 for each full-year after
the position is eliminated.
Potential reimbursements to the General Fund from other funding sources could also reduce
or eliminate the net cost of Council assistants:
C. Reimbursements from non-General Fund sources.
Although it is difficult to accurately project the level of reimbursements until
the cost and actual work of the Council assistants are better defined, it is
likely that a minimum of $10,000 of the cost of Council assistants could be
reimbursed to the General Fund from such sources as the Redevelopment
Agency, Sewer, and Transit funds.
The following is a potential further cost reduction that could be considered in order to help
fund the cost of the Council assistants:
D. Reduction or elimination of Council Contingency Fund.
For each of the last several years there has been $30,000 of General Fund
money and $20,000 of Redevelopment Agency funds appropriated as a
Council Contingency Fund. Focussing on just the $30,000 in the General
Fund Council Contingency Fund, the following amounts have been spent in
recent years: $8,300 in FY 1987-88, $27,000 in FY 1988-89, $18,000 in FY
1989-90, and $6,100 so far in FY 1990-91.
1'-\-34
~$-'1
PAGE 5, ITEM: ~
MEETING DATE: 4/02/91
Reducing the General Fund part of the Council Contingency Fund from $30,000 to
$15,000, in conjunction with the savings and reimbursements described above in A, B, and
C, more than covers the estimated cost of the Council assistants. Obviously, retaining the
Contingency Fund at its current level, there still would be adequate savings/revenues to
cover this staffing cost.
In addition to the above items, staff has identified the following two items that are not
recommended at this point but that are potential alternatives Council might want to
consider:
E. Elimination of part or all of one full-time equivalent Clerical Aide in the
Library Circulation staff.
With the implementation of the new automated circulation system later in
April and the merger of the formerly separate audio-visual circulation staff
with the main circulation staff, staff expects there to be some efficiencies that
might allow the reduction of one full-time equivalent position. On the other
hand, Library staff predict that certain features of the new automated system
may result in higher volumes of circulation and thus increased circulation
workload. While Library staff would prefer to have an opportunity to
evaluate both the potential efficiencies and the potential circulation increase
resulting from these changes before determining whether a position could be
eliminated, this is nonetheless a possible area of reduction. The e1imination
of one full-time equivalent Clerical Aide would save about $14,800 per year.
F. Elimination of a Gardener I position in Parks & Recreation Department.
Depending on the water conservation efforts that are implemented, there
may be less need for park maintenance staff. The elimination of a Gardener
I position would save approximately $32,500 per year.
3. PHYSICAL LOCATION AND INITIAL FACILITIES
There are three general approaches staff has identified for the physical location of the
Council assistants. The first approach would simply be to have the Council assistants share
the existing desk of the Councilmember the assistant would be supporting. The second
alternative would be to create a separate work area for the assistants in the back of the
Council Conference Room. This could be in the form of four separate work areas or a
common work area shared by the assistants. This alternative would require additional
furniture but would avoid what may be the congestion of having the Council assistants
share the Councilmember's desks. Using the area at the back of the Council Conference
Room for work areas for Council assistants would, however, interfere with the seating area
when the City Council, Redevelopment Agency or Board/Commission meetings are held in
14-~S
~~ ~
,
PAGE 6, ITEM: ~
MEETING DATE: 4/02/91
the Council Conference Room unless only a very small amount of work space is provided
for the Council assistants. There are usually 3-4 meetings per month held in the Council
Conference Room that include an audience. Council may want to consider moving some
of these meetings to the Council Chambers, particularly since at a number of Council and
Agency meetings held in the last few years the Council Conference Room has not been
large enough to provide seating for everyone who wanted to attend the meetings.
The third alternative would be to add some additional office space onto the northwest end
of City Hall. The type of remodeling that would be appropriate would need to be further
reviewed if Council wished to proceed with this approach, but the cost would probably be
in the general range of $30,000 - $45,000.
In addition to determining the physical location of the Council assistants, appropriate
furniture and equipment would need to be determined. This could include desks, tables,
chairs, guest chairs, telephones, and possibly a microcomputer shared by the Council
assistants. Depending upon the degree to which furniture is shared and the equipment that
is included, the cost for furniture and equipment could range from no cost (if the assistants
simply shared the desks of the Councilmembers) up to about $10,000 (if each assistant had
their own chair, desk, guest chair, and telephone with a shared computer and printer).
4. ROLE AND COORDINATION ISSUES
If the City Council decides to utilize Council assistants, there are a number of role and
coordination issues which need to be addressed. These issues have been developed after
conversations with staff in other small to medium sized cities which have Council staff.
Those issues include the following:
A. There would need to be coordination among the Council assistants,
particularly in tenns of responding to the same routine citizen inquiry or
complaint. Without such coordination, a citizen who wrote a letter to each
Councilmember might receive four or five different responses, potentially
creating confusion for the citizen receiving the responses. In addition,
several different Council assistants might be contacting City staff to obtain
the information necessary to respond to the citizen letter. To avoid both the
potential for confusion and the potential for duplication of effort, some
coordination among the Council assistants would be helpful. Such
coordination could be one of the responsibilities of the existing Senior
Management Assistant position.
It should be recognized, however, that this coordination would not preclude
individual Councilmember responses on non routine issues. This could be
appropriate in relation to responses regarding a particular policy or issue
where there is a difference in position among members of the Council.
14'3~
~~-\p
PAGE 7, ITEM: ~3
MEETING DATE: 4/02191
B. Another issue involves the number of Council assistants. A Councilrnember
could conceivably want to hire several assistants like graduate students for
a few hours each week within the amount of money allocated. The more
people involved, however, the greater the likelihood of confusion,
miscommunication, and duplication of effort. In one City, for example, each
Councilmember had $18,000 per member for part-time staff. At one time
they collectively had 17 part-time assistants involved. It reached the point
where even each Councilrnember could not keep up with who was working
for whom (they called them "Gremlins") and they initiated a policy of only
one part-time assistant per Councilmember. Staff would also suggest that the
Councillirnit the number of Council assistants to one per Councilmember.
C. The Council assistants would be prohibited from participating or assisting in
any improper political activities as set forth in Section 707 of the City
Charter. Similarly, the Council assistants would be subject to the prohibited
acts listed in Section 305 of the City Charter relating to interference with the
City Manager or Department Heads in their performance of duties. The
Council assistants would essentially be subject to the same prohibitions as
already apply to Councilrnembers themselves.
These Charter prohibitions include: (1) not using official influence to aid
any partisan political activity or solicit political contributions; (2) not using
any office or position with the City in support or opposition to candidates for
Mayor or City Council; (3) not attempting to unduly influence the City
Manager or department heads in the performance of their duties; and (4) not
performing any administrative or executive functions except those authorized
by the Charter or by ordinance; and (5) except for purposes of inquiry, not
dealing with that part of the administrative service for which the City
Manager is responsible except through the City Manager (or his designee).
D. If a Councilrnember does not use his/her assistant to the extent authorized,
the Council may want to authorize the City Manager's office to assign
projects to them on a time available basis, with the Councilmember's support
always coming first. If such assignments were appropriate, the Senior
Management Assistant could help coordinate them. In one City surveyed for
example, this was found useful to achieve maximum productivity from all of
the staff aides.

PAGE 8, ITEM: ;3
MEETING DATE: 4/02/91
The above issues are highlighted based on comments provided by other cities contacted
that have more experience with Council assistants. They are mentioned so that the
structure of Council staff support can be made to work as smoothly, effectively, and
efficiently as possible.
SUMMARY
It would appear that the general Council objective expressed at your January 24 meeting
could be accomplished by:
1. Creating four unclassified part-time hourly positions in the Mayor/Council
Office this current fiscal year to be funded out of the Council Contingency
Fund and/or salary savings, and directing that $40,000 be placed in next
year's Mayor/Council budget for this purpose, with at least an equal amount
of money removed from other parts of the City budget so that there will not
be a negative impact on the overall City budget.
2. Allocate no funds for furniture, since it is assumed that the staff will use
current desks and furniture in the conduct of their duties.
3. Establish a Council subcommittee to work out in more detail with the City
Manager the "role and coordination" issues described in this report.
FISCAL IMPACf: As described in more detail in the Discussion section of this agenda
statement, the cost of implementing Council staffing would vary, depending upon the level
of support, education, and experience expected. For four part-time assistants, the total cost
is estimated to be between $40,000 - $72,000 per year. Office space, furniture, and
equipment needs could also require one-time funding, depending on Council's policy
direction regarding facilities needs. A number of alternatives are discussed in the report
that would cover all of these costs.

SUBJECT:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council
John D. Goss, City Mana~'
City Council Staffing
At the City Council meeting of Thursday, January 24, 1991, you will be
discussing goals and objectives for the City in the coming year in an effort
to determine if there are any changes of priorities, projects to be added or
dropped, etc. It was also indicated that there was desire to discuss at this
meeting the needs of the City Council regarding staff support. By way of a
separate memo, you will receive a list of current major projects for Council
rev:iew, deliberation and feedback as to the relative importance and priority
of these projects. The purpose of this memo is to discuss the support
staffing needs of the City Council.
The City Council authorized in 1986-87 a Senior Management Assistant position
in the City Manager's Office to provide, in addition to clerical assistance1.
full-time staff support for the Mayor and members of the City Council. The
reason for this position was that the workload in the Mayor/Council Office had
increased because of the establishment of a full-time Mayor's position in
1982, the increased size of the City as a result of the Montgomery annexation
in late 1985, a number of pending complex development proposals, and more of
an emphasis on intergovernmental relations on the part of Chula Vista.
Since the creation of the Senior Management Assistant position, Chula Vista's
population has increased from 123,667 to 134,000. and the level of activity of
the City has increased with a number of new major projects bein9 added to the
old ones.
It is difficult for staff to project what the support needs of the individual
members of the City Councilor the City Council collectively might be without
some input from the Council on these needs. The purpose of this report is to
basically provide some staffing options that would be available to the City
Council if there is a desire to increase the current staffing level. In
determining what your support needs may be, it may hinge on how you might
answer the following questions (and possibly some other questions as well.)
lIn addition to the Mayor-Council secretary. a 1/2 position was added mid-year
1984-85, and that position was made full-time in 1989-90.
14~31

1. . How active have you and will you be as a City Councilmember? Also, what
role does a Councilmember now fulfill politically.
Historically, it appears that the role of a Councilmember in Chula Vista
has been to interact with citizens, either face-to-face, by telephone, or
by letter, attend community meetings, review staff reports, make policy
decisions at City Council and Redevelopment Agency meetings and give
'policy direction for the growth and operation of the City. In a few other
cities, however, Councilmembers are becoming more politically active. In
a few cities our size, for example, Councilmembers have either a part-time
or full-time aide to help further political initiatives of that
Councilmember, review staff reports and either underline pertinent parts
'or prepare summaries, and interact with the staff or public on behalf of
the Councilmembers.
These two descriptions of the traditional method in which City
, Councilmembers have proceeded in Chula Vista and the method utilized in
some other communities, are not designed to be complete or comprehensive
but only to give a couple of illus~rative scenarios that might help you
assess your answer to the question as to how active the Council job is
. now, and what political style might be utilized in performing the City
Councilmember role.
2. Also, is the existing level of support of Senior Management Assistant and
. two clerical staff sufficient and, if it is not, whether or not existing
staff should be further utilized to provide further support to the Council
or whether or not additional collective or individual support for
Councilmembers is necessary.
BACKGROUND
In order to provide a range of options and to gain a better understanding of
what the practice is in other communities, I attended a session at the Annual
league of California Cities Conference in October 1990 entitled, "Large City
Session: Elected Officials Staff Forum." The purpose of attending this
meeting was to learn what some other cities might do by way of having staff
supporting elected officials. The largest city represented was the.City of
Los Angeles, specifically Councilmember Joy Picus, who is elected by .
district. It was indicated that she has 12-14 staff people plus 2 clerical
individuals to basically handle the functions of constituent relations and
policy analysis. The City of San Jose (765,207), which was the largest
Council-Manager city represented in the session, has 2 contract employees per
Councilmember. The next largest was the City of Santa Ana (287,983), which
has 2 staff people for their 7 member Council. One apparently handles
constituent relations, while the other does research on policy development.
These employees are part of the City Manager's Office that provide support to
the Mayor and Council. Finally, the City of Hayward (population 106,000) has
one full-time person that works with the City Manager supporting the Mayor and
the Council Office. That person is responsible for constituent relations,
policy analysis, research, employee newsletter, and administering the cable
t.v. and garbage franchises.
'4~qD
~~ -(I:;>

In terms of comparable practice throughout the State, it is very clear that
very large cities, such as San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose,
and Long Beach, have 1 or more staff people to support each Councilmember.
For medium size cities in Chula Vista's population range (75,000-150,000
population), of which there are approximately 50, most cities do not have
individual Council aides, although there are exceptions to this, including the
cities of Berkeley, Santa Monica, Irvine, West Hollywood and Oceanside.
Locally, in comparing the third and fourth largest cities in San Diego County,
namely Oceanside and Escondido, one finds two different approaches toward
providing staff assistance to Council. In Escondido, there was a proposal to
add staff aides to support individual Councilmembers. But, apparently because
of adverse public criticism, the City Council backed away from that position
and receives support from staff in the City Manager's Office on projects in
which the Council has interest, such as recycling and construction of an arts
center.
In Oceanside, on the other hand, approximately three years ago the City
Council established a full-time aide for each member of the City Council.
Their responsibilities included arranging for celebrations and special events,
attending meetings for City Councilmembers, and generally handling constituent
relations. These aides are supervised by the City Manager's Office. It is
difficult to judge the level of activity of each City, or the effectiveness of
the two City Councils, but both cities seem to be very active, there is a
general perception, although maybe not an accurate one, that the Oceanside
City Council is a little more politically oriented than Escondido.
OPTIONS
In terms of options for the Council, there are probably an infinite number of
combinations that would be possible depending on the Council's perceived need
for additional support. It should be made clear that the City Manager and his
staff stands ready to work with any configuration of support Council desires.
It is clear in the Council-Manager form of government that the City Manager
and his staff (and this also applies to the City Attorney and the City Clerk)
are available to provide needed support to the Mayor and the City Councfl. .
This is our job and our responsibility which we stand ready to perform. The
question is what form that support is going to take.
There appear to be at least four options that could be suggested. These are
as follows:
1. : Maintain the status quo, which is one Senior Management Assistant plus two
, . clerical staff.2 The disadvantage to this option is that if your current
needs for Council support are not being met, then you cannot adequately
, fulfill your role as a Councilmember.
lA refinement to this would be to better use the existing resources of staff
in Administration and other support services. Option #2 is one, but only one
form that this could take.
14-LlJ
~
. .

2. Another option would be to maintain the existing staff in the
Mayor/Council Offices and then assign a currently employed Management
Assistant elsewhere in the City to each Councilmember to provide support
to them in terms of constituent relations and research for policy and
issues. Currently, the City has Management Assistants in Administration
(3), and one each in Police, Public Works, and Parks & Recreation. Each
person would continue to do their current job, but four of this number
would be a direct contact person for each Councilmember in addition to
these regular duties, to provide staff support as needed. This would
obviously have to be coordinated through a Deputy City Manager to provide
continuity and coordination. The advantage of this alternative is that
there would be no increase in payroll and each Councilmember would have an
individual staff person to assist them on a part-time basis on constituent
relations and policy development.
The disadvantages to this option are that the individual staff people are
: spread throughout the Civic Center complex, may not be immediately
accessible to the Councilmember, and it may hurt their current work
effort. If this option is pursued, it probably should be pursued on a
trial basis to determine if the disadvantages just cited would really be
problems. It may be that each of those disadvantages could be mitigated
depending on the individual involved and the needs of the individual
Counci 1 member.
3. Another option would be to add a second full-time professional staff
position to provide support to the City Council. It appears that the
basic duties of support staff for most Councils in other cities involves
constituent relations, including response to complaints, phone calls,
preparation of letters, resolutions and proclamationsj assisting with
special community eventsj performing researchj and assisting a
Councilmember in developing policy initiatives. This would basically
parallel the support structure provided by the City of Santa Ana where one
staff person is responsible for constituent relations and the second staff
person is responsible for research and policy development. The advantage
of this proposal is that it not only would increase the amount of Council
support and alleviate Council workload, but would also provide a better
focus on the basic functions of Council support staff than is- currently
. the case and probably would provide a better division of responsibility
between constituent relations and policy development functions. It
probably would provide for better coordination of responses to constituent
letters and would be less expensive than the next alternative.
The disadvantage, however, is that it is more expensive than the first two
alternatives and each Councilmember would not have their own person to
support their work as a Councilmember, and therefore may not meet
Councilmembers' individual needs for support.
14- - I./L
~
-5-
4. The next option would be to add the equivalent of two more full time staff
to support the Council work effort. This could be in the form of a
half-time person to support each member of the Council (the Senior
Management Assistant would still support the Mayor), or there could be two
.. full time positions that would support the remaining four members of the
Council. The advantage to this option is that each Councilmember could
have their own person to help support their work effort and to be able to
individualize the response to constituent relations and policy development
initiatives compared to the current level of support.
The disadvantages are that this option would be more costly than the other
options (at least Options 11 and 2) and, depending upon the level and
number of staff and the overall guidelines provided such staff, there
could be, as has been the experience of other cities, some coordination
and communication issues that would need to be resolved.
There are obviously other options such as some combination of the above
options, using the equivalent resources of a Senior Management Assistant
position for presumably five part-time contractual employees, providing a
full-time staff person for each Councilmember or providing a part-time person
to each Councilmember at their option. But regardless of the option
selection, the City Manager stands ready to provide support for Council as
needed, with the real issue being what form should the support take.

Re:
Council Staff
1. Reauest for Advice.
At the request of the Council, the Council will receive and
deliberate upon a report from the City Manager with regard to
alternative approaches to Council Staffing.
Many issues will arise during such deliberation, many of
which are legal in nature.
I have been requested by the Manager's office to supplement
such a report with my opinion on the legal issues involved in the
decision confronting you. This report is intended to provide
that legal advice.
2. Leaal Issues Presented.
The duties which the Council want the "Council Staff" to
perform will define the consequences. "Duty definition" is
critical because it will be the basis for determining who has the
relevant Personnel Power.
Given that the duties are defined, the following is a
summary of the legal issues which I see as presented by the City
Manager's report:
2.1. Does the Council have the authority to create Council
Staff Positions ("Position Creation Power")?
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 1
J t/. L/~
2.1.1.
Is a Supermajority Vote required?
2.1.2.
Can the Supermajority Vote requirement be
avoided by contracting for the service?
2.2. Who has the power to appoint a person to fill the
Council staff position ("Appointment Power")? Since, as you will
see, the power of appointment flows from the existence of a
Department, the following inquiry become relevant:
2.2.1.
Who has the power to create a department
("Department Creation Power")?
Who has the power to assign the Position to a
Department ("Position Allocation Power")?
2.3. Who has the power to supervise the Council staff
("Supervisorial Power")?
2.2.2.
2.4. Who has the power to set the duties of the position
("Duty Assignment Power")?
2.5. Should classification protection be assigned to such
positions, and if so, who has the power to confer such protection
("Classification Power")?
3. Preface and Precautions.
The relation of this subject matter to the heart of our
government--its Charter--bears same preface and precautionary
advice.
3.1. Council Staff was not contemplated by the Drafters.
After thoroughly reviewing the Charter, it is my opinion
that the Charter drafters "probably" did not contemplate or
consider a situation in which the Council would have any staff
more extensive than a Private Secretary to serve both the Mayor
and Council. 1
1. section 500, Appointment and Removal of Officers and
Department Heads, provides, in section (a):
" (a) Appointment. .. .there shall be in the
Unclassified Service a private secretary for the. . Mayor
and Council who shall be appointed by the respective
officers for whom they serve."
(continued. . . )
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 2
J~- 0/7
However, given this, we can not ignore the authority of the
Charter. The Charter drafters recognized that they were creating
a power distribution document, and had to believe that it would
require interpretation as it may be applied to new demands and
new requirements on the City as it grows and expands. They
provided for the power to create additional departments as the
demands of the City grew, and they provided for the power to
combine shrink or abolish departments as the demands for service
subs ided . 2
Just as the Supreme Court is required to interpret a federal
Constitution whose framers did not contemplate issues of abortion
or radio signals at the time of its creation, all of us are re-
quired to interpret, and sworn to uphold, the City's constitu-
tion--its Charter--as the source for the power distributed to our
respective departments and offices.
3.2. Status of City Attorney's Opinion.
It is, for better or worse, the function and duty of this
Office to provide such interpretation. As a word of caution, my
opinion is not law. The Charter is the law. To the extent that
it is well reasoned, this Opinion may be given some considerable
weight by a reviewing Court, and hopefully, by the People of the
City, the Council, and the City Manager.
1. (. . . continued)
The authors recognize that, at Section 304, defining the Mayor's
duties, the drafters contemplated the assignment of personnel to
the Mayor/Council Office:
". . .In addition to said powers and duties, the Mayor shall
have the power and duty: .. .(6) to supervise the
operation of the Mayor/Council office and personnel assigned
thereto. "
However, such language is not inconsistent with the Private
Secretary assigned by the Charter to the office of Mayor/Council.
2. Section 501, Administrative Departments, First Paragraph:
" The city Council may by ordinance not inconsistent with
this Charter provide for the creation of additional
departments and the assignment of general functions to such
added departments, and may also abolish specific functions
preformed and the department performing such abolished
functions." ("Department Creation Clause")

3.3. Interpretation and Judgment is Required in Rendering
this Opinion.
Unfortunately, the Charter is not a model of consistency and
clarity at certain points relevant herein. Certain judgment
calls are required to be made after balancing arguments for and
against an interpretation. Our tools are limited to logic,
common sense, judgment, rules of statutory construction, and a
single case decided within our own appellate district dealing
with a similar effort by the City of San Diego.3
Expressed herein is my best effort in making such interpre-
tations.
4. Summary of Conclusions.
4.1. Define the Duties.
The conclusions to these legal issues presented depend,
almost exclusively, on the duties to be assigned to the Council
Staff. If the Council wants the Council Staff to perform simply
as extensions of their own persona--their "alter egos" {"Alter
Ego Council Staff")--there is one set of conclusions. If the
Council wants the Council Staff to perform "administratively"
("Administrative Council Staff"), there is another set of
conclusions.
4.2. Whv is there a difference between Alter Eqo and
Administrative Council Staff. and what is the difference?
The reason for the distinction between Alter Ego and
Administrative Council Staff is created by the Charter
establishment of the Council/Manager form of government,
explained in more detail below.
Alter Ego Staff would be required to have such unofficial4
duties, by their job specification, as the Council could perform
themselves, such as inquiry, analysis, research, substitute rep-
resentation at community meetings, and message-carrying
functions.
However, the position should be categorized as Administra-

Cal. Rptr. 587., a copy of which should be attached.
4. Obviously, the Council Staff would not be able to engage in
official acts of the assigned councilperson, such as voting or
signature of documents.
staff4.wp

Memo re Council Staff
Page 4
jt./-t/1
tive Council staff if anv part of the duties include requiring
interaction with, or "utilization of", persons reporting under
the City Manager of a more extensive nature than mere inquiry, or
in any way directing or encouraging the City Manager or any of
his departments to perform in any particular way. For example, a
Council staff which was required or permitted to attend the City
Manager's agenda preparation meetings, or department head
meetings, or be required to work with the City Manager in the
preparation of a council agenda report prepared by or through the
City Manager's Office would be categorized as Administrative
Council staff.
4.3. Position Creation Authoritv.
Under either type of Staff, the Mayor/council, as a unit,
has the authority to create, by the budgetary process, Council
Staff positions. If done mid-budget year, it will require four
affirmative votes because it creates positions--this is a
budgetary amendment to the "position plan"s.
4.3.1. Avoidinq the Supermaioritv Vote Requirement.
Although not recommended, the creation of positions can
be avoided by contracting for "Council Staff" services, and
therefore this supermajority vote requirement may be reduced to
three affirmative votes.
However, unless an appropriation already exists in the
budget of the department to which the "position" is allocated,
the Charter will require an appropriation, and hence four
affirmative votes. Thus as to Contract Alter Ego Staff to be, by
definition, assigned to the City Council "department", funds must
be appropriated to, and expended from, the City Council budget.
As to "Contract Administrative Council Staff", funds will need to
be appropriated to, and expended from, the City Manager budget.
4.4 position Allocation: Appointment and Supervisorv Power.
4.4.1. Administrative Council Staff
If the Council desires Administrative Council Staff,
the position is required, by the Council/Manager form of
government, to be assigned ("Position Allocation Power") to one
or another of the City Manager's departments, as ~fte eeHReil may

position is assigned, has the power to fill ("Appointment Power")
such position, and to supervise ("Supervisorial Power") such
position.
4.4.1.1. Contract Administrative Council staff.
As to Administrative Council staff, the Council/
Manager form of government would not tolerate the subterfuge of a
"contract employee" engaged by the Council as a means of avoiding
the consequence that the Appointment Power resides in the City
Manager. Although not recommended, an Administrative Council
staff could be engaged by contract as long as the City Manager is
vested with the contractor selection authority.6
4.4.2. Alter Eqo Council staff.
If the Council desires Alter Ego Council Staff, the
Council has the power, by adoption of an ordinance, to constitute
themselves as a "department" of the city.
4.4.2.1. Delav Problem.
Such an ordinance could not become effective for
approximately 35-40 days except upon a finding
that such urgency is necessary to preserve the
public peace, health, safety, and general
welfare,7 and then, only by four affirmative
6. Our Municipal Code, at section 2.56.220 (C), establishes the
procedures to be used for the selection of "consultants". It
requires the city Manager to appoint a selection committee and to
recommend the appointment to the City Council for approval.
However, this ordinance created procedure would not survive
scrutiny as applied in this unique case to Administrative Council
Staff, because it would permit the Council to act like an
"appointing authority" over a service assigned exclusively to the
city Manager by the Charter.
7. section 311, Adoption of Ordinances and Resolutions,
provides:
" (d) Emergency Ordinances. Any ordinance declared by
the city Council to be necessary as an emergency measure for
preserving the public peace, health, safety, and general
welfare and containing a statement of the reasons for its
urgency, may be introduced and adopted at one and the same
meeting if passed by at least four affirmative votes.

votes of the Council.8
If the Council constitutes themselves as a "depart-
ment", they would have the power to allocate the position to the
City Council Department, and they would have the Appointment
Power to fill the position or positions by majority vote of their
body. The supervisorial Power over such employee, short of
discipline or termination, would reside in the Mayor.
Disciplinary and termination authority would reside in the entire
Council. As an anomaly of a Charter provision, the City Manager
will have to approve the Council's appointment of their proposed
Council Staff appointees.
4.4.2.2. Contract Alter Ego Council Staff.
Unlike Administrative Council Staff, the Council/
Manager form of government would not create an obstacle to the
retention of Alter Ego Council Staff by contract, because by
definition of their duties, they could not interfere with the
administrative arm of the city. Nevertheless, it is not
recommended because a "contractor" relationship is not being
proposed, and no particular advantage exists from the perspective
of being able to avoid the Supermajority Vote Requirement.
4.5. Classification Power.
An Alter Ego Council Staff person should, but is not legally
required to be, in the unclassified service, thus serving at the
pleasure of the Mayor/Council. For the purposes herein relevant,
the Council has this "Classification Power".
4.6. Dutv Limitations.
As Alter Ego Council Staff, certain duty limitations should
be placed on them. In addition to prohibiting "administrative
activity" for which the City Manager has ultimate responsibility,
such duties should also be carefully written to prohibit
8. The 30 day period after the Council adoption and prior to the
effective date of an ordinance is commonly referred to as the
"referendum period". It was designed to give the People the time
to exercise their Referendum Power by collecting and fileina a
petition to "refer" the ordinance to the voters. Since we are
dealing with a matter very close to the heart of the power
distribution scheme created by the People in the Charter, this is
particularly a case in which the Referendum Period should not be
lightly slighted. Accordingly, I would recommend against the
urgency finding, but it is clearly within the judgment of the
Council.

political activity on behalf of the assigned Councilperson, or
prohibit activity in any matter in which the Councilperson may
have a financial conflict of interest. ("Duty Limitations")
4.7. Should the Council have Council Staff?
There are non-legal and collaterally-legal matters which the
Council should consider which do not necessarily constitute an
obstacle to the creation of Council Staff. I feel it is my
responsibility to bring these to your attention, regardless of
how you may feel about such staffing.
Analysis and Discussion
~ Backaround Concepts
~ Our Charter Establishes a Council/Manaaer Form of
Government.
The Charter is to a city what the Constitution is to the
Federal Government. It is, for local government, the "power
distribution document". It tells the people and their local
representatives who has the authority, or power, to do what.
In virtually all forms of local government that exist, the
elected representatives establish policy. However, the manner in
which the power to implement that policy is allocated is the key
variable that defines the form of local government.
Our Charter establishes what is referred to as a "Council/
Manager" form of government. This is a form of government
characterized by the fact that it distributes to the elected
representatives--the Council--the power to set policy, and it
distributes to the City Manager the power to formulate policy
alternatives and to implement such policy as is set by Council.
It may be contrasted to another form of local government
referred to as the "Strong Mayor" form of government which
distributes policy setting and policy implementation duties to
the Office of Mayor. It may also be contrasted to the Mayor/
Administrator form of government where policy implementation
powers are shared between the Office of the Mayor and a Chief
Administrator Officer.
The names or "stereotypes" assigned to the form of
government do not define the distribution of power--the charter
provisions do. However, the form of government selected by the
Charter framers establish "a framer's intent" with which to
interpret the charter provisions where there may be ambiguities
in the precise language, imprecisions in the draftsmanship, or
staff4.wp

situations which are not specifically addressed in the Charter.
As this memo will document, the current issue of "council
staffing" presents charter interpretation issues in this zone.
5.2. How does our Charter establish a Council/Manaqer Form
of Government?
All powers to function as a City, not otherwise distributed
by the Charter, are vested in the Council.9
The "administrative power"--Le., the power to implement
policy set by the Council--has been "otherwise distributed"
exclusively to the City Manager.
Section 400'0 charges the City Manager to be the "executive
officer" of the City." Section 401 further defines that, by
"executive officer", the City Manager is
"the head of the administrative branch of the City
government, and [is] responsible to the City Council for the
proper administration of all affairs of the City. ,,12
9. Sec. 201, Powers Vested in Council, provides:
" All powers of the City, except as otherwise provided in
this Charter, shall be vested in the City Council."
("Residual Jurisdiction Clause")
This Residual Jurisdiction Clause is important in cases where
there is an silence in the Charter.
10. All section references are to the Charter except as
otherwise indicated in the text.
11. Sec. 400(a), "City Manager", provides:
" (a) Appointment; Salary. There shall be a City
Manager who shall be the executive officer of the City; to
be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the City
Council. The City Manager shall be chosen on the basis of
administrative qualifications and shall be paid a salary,
fixed by the Council, commensurate with responsibilities."
12. At section 402, the City Manager is even given the power to
"participate in deliberations of the City Council, but shall not
have a vote."
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memore Council Staff
Page 9
1'1-5'1
The Charter specifically cautions the Council not to involve
itself into "administrative affairs"--but to leave such affairs
to the judgment and discretion of the City Manager. The Charter
is very clear and very adamant about this. It establishes. as a
penaltv for its violation. "loss of office"! section 305,
entitled "Prohibited Acts" is the "cornerstone" of the
Council/Manager form of government, and deals exclusively with
the dichotomy between policy setting and administrative powers:
" No member of the Council shall directly or indirectly,
by suggestion or otherwise, attempt to unduly influence the
City Manager or other officer appointed or confirmed by the
Council in their performance of duties.
The Mayor and the Councilmen are hereby individually
and collectively prohibited from performing any administra-
tive or executive functions except as same may be authorized
by this Charter or by ordinance of the City of Chula vista.
Except for the purpose of inquiry, the Council and its
members shall deal with that part of the administrative
service for which the City Manager is responsible solely
through the City Manager.
A violation of the provisions of this section by any
member of the Council shall constitute misconduct for which
the offending member may be removed from office by the
Council."
Thus, if the Council Staff are in any way entitled to
interfere with the City Manager's administration of the affairs
of the City other than by inquiry, or to otherwise inject
themselves into the administrative arm of the City, this
Council/Manager form of government requires that they report to,
be appointed by, and exist to serve the City Manager.
This then is the basis for the distinction between Alter Ego
Council Staff and Administrative Council Staff. As Administra-
tive Council Staff, their overriding purpose will be to enhance
the Manager's liaison with the Council.
6. The Charter's Division of Personnel Authoritv.
Council Staffing, like other staffing decisions, is an
exercise of the Personnel Power set forth in the Charter.
In an apparent effort to curb potential abuses in personnel
practices in local government, the Charter drafters divided the
Personnel Powers among different Offices of the City in a manner
more fractured than is typically seen in private sector
staff4.wp

employment practices.
Our Charter recognizes at various points, a deliberate
division of the Personnel Powers. For the purposes of this
opinion, the Personnel Power is "fractured" into at least the
following categories under the Charter:
1. The decision that the job is needed ("Position Creation
Power") .
2. The assignment or allocation of the created position to
an Office or Department ("Position Allocation Power").

5. The power to veto the exercise of the Appointment Power

6. The power to assign duties to the position ("Duty

6. The right to supervise the employee ("Supervisorial
Power") .
7. The power to confer civil service protection to a
position ("Classification Power").
We will herein attempt to explain how the Charter
distributes each of these subpowers of the Personnel Power at
least for purposes relevant hereto--the Council Staff issue'3.
7. Can the Council Create "Council Staff" positions?
Conclusion:
Yes, except for Charter-established
"Offices", the position Creation Power has
been assigned to the Council.
13. Other divisions of the personnel power, not relevant here,
are created in the Charter. For example, the right to discipline
and terminate is divided, based on classification status, between
various persons.
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 11
10/'>>
While recognizing some Charter ambiguity14, on balance, it
is our o~inion that, as to all positions not categorized as an
"Office" 5, the City Council has the Position creation Power,
which is exercised through the adoption or amendment of the
Budget.
The Budget can be adopted by three affirmative votes.16 It
14. Section 501, Administrative DeDartments, Third Paragraph,
provides, in pertinent part:
" The City Council shall control by budget the number and
compensation of all positions, unless otherwise mandated by
this Charter." ("Number and Compensation Clause")
The authors recognize that this does not specifically state
that the Council has the power to create positions, just control
the number and pay. This has to be judged as a drafting
oversight and should be interpreted to mean: "the Council shall
control . . .the existence, number and compensation of all
positions, . . ."
The Position Creation Power is not elsewise distributed
except less precisely in the same section, Second Paragraph:
"The City Manager shall . . .provide staff for the
departments for which the City Manager is responsible."
Was "shall . . .provide staff" intended to establish the
City Manager's power to create positions in the face of the
Number and Compensation Clause cited above? We think not,
especially in light of the historic practice that the City
Council has always been responsible, through the budgets, for
creating positions.
In light of the Residual Jurisdiction Clause, it is our
judgment that the city Council is vested with the position
Creation Power.
15. An "Office" is a charter-created position which can not be
abrogated by the Council. The Mayor and Councilperson, City
Clerk, City Manager, City Attorney, and the Finance Director are
examples of "Offices". See section 505 which permits the Council
to assign additional functions or duties to "offices",
departments or agencies, but may not abrogate same.

AdoDtion, which provides, in pertinent part:

may only be amended mid-year by four affirmative votes17
("Supermajority Vote Requirement").
7.1. Can the Mid-Year Supermaioritv Vote Reauirement be
Avoided?
Conclusion: Perhaps, but only if the Council Staff is
provided for by contract, and the Department to which the
Council Staff is assigned (Councilor MaysF Manaaer) has
sufficient funds appropriated thereto.
Staff has attempted to prepare scenarios under which the
Supermajority Vote Requirement could be avoided if the majority
of the Council so insisted. Under most all scenarios presented,
four affirmative votes will be required.
scenario 1. If there were sufficient funds available under
the City Manager's "budget amendment" authority, could the
City Manager transfer (i.e., appropriate) sufficient funds
for the positions without requiring a "Budget Amendment"?
Conclusion: Yes, if the Council Staff type selected is
the Administrative Council Staff, appointed by and
serving under the authority of the City Manager.
The Council, at the time of the adoption of the Budget,
delegated certain limited "amendment authority" to the
City Manager.18 While I believe that this was a

legitimate delegation of budget-amendment authority,19
according to the City Manager, the "inter-departmental"
aspect of this language was intended to allow the
transfer between the department of "vacancy savings"
between accounts.
"Vacancy savings" are unexpended appropriations
resulting from routine turnover, or vacancies, in
positions resulting from retirements, career
advancements, terminations, etc. The department in
which they occur are somewhat unpredictable, but given
the large employment base of the City, the amount can
be historically predicted with some accuracy. This
clause was designed to permit the City Manager
discretion to shift those saving to the departments in
which they actually occur.
Accordingly, it would be inappropriate for the City
Manager to use this clause as authority to appropriate
compensation for newly created positions which can't
otherwise muster the Charter-sanctioned vote
requirement.
However, the Budget adoption resolution cited above
also has an "intra-departmental" aspect, giving the
18. (. ..continued)
services and to transfer appropriations between control
accounts for Employee Services only."
Control accounts are "departments". Note that the City Manager
can therefore transfer funds "intra-departmentally" and "inter-
departmentally" .
19. There is nothing in the Charter that requires a line-item
budget--a budget which would have limited the City Manager to
expending the City resources only for the specific purpose
described by each individual line item.
Rather, section 1005 states that "the several amounts stated
therein as proposed expenditures shall be and become appropriated
to the several departments, offices and agencies for the
respective object and purposes therein named."
Consistent with the requirements that their be a "depart-
mentalization" of expenditures, the City council adopted a
modification, or blend, of the line item budget because in the
adopting resolution, it gave the City Manager certain transfer,
or "administrative amendment" authority.

City Manager the authority to transfer funds between
different accounts in the same Department. This was
designed to give the Manager "managerial flexibility"
in administering the affairs of the City.
Thus if existing funds are already appropriated to the
City Manager's Department, and are transferred from one
account to another by use of his delegation of "budget
amendment" authority, the City Manager could make the
funds available to pay for an Administrative Council
Staff, but not an Alter Ego Council Staff.
Scenario 2. Could the contingency fund of $30,000 in the
"non-departmental" account, normally under the control and
direction of the Council to handle small contingencies
throughout the year without requiring a Supermajority Vote,
be used to create the Council Staff positions?
Conclusion: No, it would still be a budget amendment
of the "position plan".
without reference to the peculiarities of our city, a
budget is, in its primary sense, a "spending plan" for
the City that requires the identification of resources
and sets forth the plan for the expenditure of those
resources. A budget typically contemplates a "position
or personnel plan" as part of the "spending plan" but
it is not normally considered a sine aua non of
budgets.
However, under the authority of the Number and
Compensation Clause cited above, our Charter has
elevated the "position plan" component to an integral
part of the budget in that it gives control over the
number and compensation of allfositions to the Council
through the budgetary process.2
Historically, all new positions are created at the
budget approval hearings, or have been enacted only
with four affirmative votes.
Therefore, it is my opinion that any time there is any
mid-year change in the "position plan", with or without
a corresponding resource reallocation, that four
affirmative votes are required.
Scenario 3. Could the service required by the Council Staff
20. section 501 cited above.
staff4.wp

Memo re Council Staff

J 'I' t-tl
be obtained by contract, thereby avoiding the creation of
positions?
Conclusion: Yes, if there are already sufficient
resources previously appropriated to the discretion of
the department or office and purpose served by the
"contractor"--i.e., the City Council. Then funding
would be within the transfer discretion of the City
Manager.
Although not recommended, the service can be obtained
by contract. It is not recommended because the key
distinguishing feature between an "independent
contractor" as opposed to an "employee" is that an
employee is directed as to the ways and means of
performing his duties. An "independent contractor" is
given a task to accomplish, and is left to his own
devices as to the way and means of achieving it.21
We have admittedly, in past practices, blurred this
distinction in having services performed by a "contract
employee" when it served other departments or offices
of the City. It would be hypocritical now to assert
its impropriety as applied to benefit the Council.22
If used despite its inadvisability, nevertheless, the
"contract employee" practice can not be used to assign
administrative duties in violation of the authority of
the City Manager to control all administrative matters.
However, as a general concept, the Charter requires
that, prior to expenditure, there be an appropriation
to the department or office served by the expendi-
21. See discussion at 38 Ca1. Jur. 3d Independent Contractors,
section 2.
22. However, this Office intends to continue its course of
action discouraging "contract employees" in the future because
(1) we may not have the shelter of tort liability immunity for
injury to such employees; (2) there may be liability to the IRS
for failure to withhold taxes; and (3) as "real" but unrecognized
employees, we may be required to make PERS contributions with
regard to the cost of their service.

ture.n It would be an intolerable violation of the
Charter-approved budgetary scheme to spend consultant
money appropriated to the Public Works department on a
consultant designed to serve the Parks Department. For
the same reason, the Charter will not permit, without
amendment, the expenditure of funds on Council staff--
be it employees or contractors--from a department other
than the City Council.
scenario 4. Could the contingency fund of $30,000 in the
"non-departmental" account, normally under the control and
direction of the Council to handle small contingencies
throughout the year without requiring a Supermajority vote,
be used to create the Council Staff bv contract?
Conclusion: Yes, but it will still require
appropriation to the City Council "department" budget.
This scenario is a blend of Scenario 2 and 3. It was
designed to avoid the "position plan" amendment problem
which, as in Scenario 2, required amendment to the
budget, and 4/5ths vote. It avoids the Scenario 2
constraint by contracting for the service.
However, it does not pass the Scenario 3 hurdle since
the contingency account in the "Noli-Departmental"
budget is not appropriated to serve the Mayor/Council
Office or "department". 24 ,

Even though the Charter allocates the Position Creation
Authority to the Council, it has reserved most of the Appointment
Authority to the City Manager, or to the Department Head as
herein explained.
As to "appointive positions"--the City Manager, City
Attorney, City Clerk, and a private secretary to the Mayor!
Council--the Charter gives exclusive Appointment Power to the
Council.25
As to Assistant and Deputy positions, the Charter gives
Appointment Power to the supervisor of the position--the city

to the Council.u
As to other officers and department heads27, the Charter
gives the City Manager the Appointment Power, but reserves in the
City council the Approval power.28

As to all other employees, which would include, presumably,
council staff, the Charter gives to the Department Head and/or
"appointive officer,,29 the Appointment Power over such
"employees as are provided for by the city Council,,3o for their
department or office, and reserves to the City Manager the
Approval Power over all such employees. 31
Thus, in this scheme of things, except as the Charter
distributes special appointment powers to the Council, and
appointive Offices (Manager, Clerk, Attorney, Private
Secretaries), the Appointment Power over a position flows from
being designated as a Department Head of a "department" to which
the position is assigned. Hence, the ability or power to assign
a position ("Position Allocation Power") to a department becomes
theoretically critical.
As applied to Administrative Council Staff, the Manager or
other existing department head would have the Appointment
Authority.

of the Charter, the City Manager shall appoint all

service provisions, or as provided by ordinance of the
Council as authorized by section 500(a) of this Charter, and
subject to prior approval of the City Manager."
This is consistent with section 401(a) defining the powers of the
City Manager.

However, as to Alter Ego Council Staff, the question arises
as to whether the Mayor/Council is a Department.
9. Is the Council/Mavor Office a DeDartment Sufficient to
Permit Them to be the ADDointina Authoritv?
Conclusion:
No, but the Council has the authority to make
themselves a department, and an ordinance is
attached which will accomplish such an
objective.
The Charter treats the Council and Mayor as an "office". An
Office is a charter-recognized position, the main consequence of
which is that it can not be abolished or modified by the Council.
There are five elective offices--the Mayor and Councilmembers--
and there are at least four appointive offices--the City Manager,
the City Clerk, the City Attorney, the Finance Director.
However, the Charter recognizes and treats Offices
differently from Departments such as to lead us to conclude that
an Office is not, by Charter, a department. The Charter does
not, of itself, recognize the City Council32 as a separate
department of the city. In contrast for example, it does so
recognize a Finance Department.33
However, at section 501, "Administrative Departments", the
Council is granted the power to create additional departments by
ordinance~ not inconsistent with the Charter~ and assign
general functions to such added departments.
32. Or the City Clerk or the City Attorney--these are considered
Offices in the eyes of the Charter.
33. section 504, Director of Finance: Powers and Duties,
provides, in pertinent part:
" There shall be a Finance Department headed by a
Director of Finance, who shall have power and be required
to. . ."
34. The requirement that the Department Creation Power has to be
created or provided for by ordinance dispels the notion that the
adoption of the budget, an act which occurs by resolution, has
the power to constitute the Council as a department.
35. section 501, Administrative Departments, First Paragraph,
provides:

The Council has exercised this "department creation" ~ower
by creating, by ordinance, for example a Police Department , a
Fire Department37, Park and Recreation Department~, and a
Community Development Department39.
Would the Charter tolerate an ordinance which creates a
"Mayor/council Department" so as to permit the Mayor/Council to
have appointing authority?
While there appears to be authority on each side of this
very important issue, it is my opinion that the weight of the
authority would permit the Council to constitute itself as a
Department.
In the first instance, the Charter appears to recognize that
there may be departments other than departments subject to the
City Manager's direction. In the second paragraph of section
501, the Charter states:
" The City Manager shall be responsible for the
organizational structure of all departments subiect to the
Citv Manaaer's direction, including their divisions,
sections, crews and other necessary unit components and
shall assign duties, delegate administrative powers, and
provide staff for the deDartments for which the Citv Manaaer
is resDonsible."
This implies, in two separate places,4o that the Charter
drafters contemplated that there may be need to be other

departments which may be created for which the City Manager may
not be responsible--even at a time when they were creating a very
rigid Council/Manager form of government. This could have been a
reference to the future creation of a "City Attorney's
Department" or the "City Clerk's Department", but the Charter is
just as silent as to the creation of departments around such
Offices as it is for a "Council/Mayor Department" around the
Office of Mayor/Council.
Second, in the case of Hubbard41, the Fourth Appellate
District42, gave dictum sanction to such a practice. In
Hubbard, the City of San Diego Council attempted to create an
"administrative" department that reported to the Council,
circumventing the City Manager's Office. This was found to be
illegal as a violation of their Council/Manager form of
government. In doing so, however, the appellate court gave
implicit recognition and sanction to a charter provision43
giving the Council the authorit~ to create departments--not
dissimilar to our own provision .
In Hubbard, the San Diego City Council constituted

themselves as Departments, which under another Charter
section45, entitled them allegedly to staffing.
To this effort, the Hubbard Court said:
.. The right must be recognized of the Council as a body,
and of each member of the Council, to employ one or more
assistants to do clerical, research, analytical, reporting
and communications work to facilitate the performance of the
duties of the legislative body and its members. Included in
that category would be agents to obtain desired information
from the Manager, and to analyze it and the proposed budget
for the benefit of the members of the Council individually
or collectively.
Such agents or employees would be only representatives
of the Councilor its members operating in extension. Such
representatives, acting on the initiative and under the
direction of the Councilor its members clearly differ from
a department of the City working on its own initiative and
with its own administrative head and in its internal
administration independent of both Council and Manager."
This is powerful dictum46 by our own Appellate Court in a
case which is indistinguishable of relevant facts from ours, and
is the only case our office could find on the entire subject
matter after doing a nationwide search. It can not be lightly
ignored.
Third, as we have established, the Charter gives the Council
the authority to create positions--including Alter Ego Council
Staff positions. It is illogical to conclude that no avenue
should be available to the Council to permit them to appoint such
persons to fill the position, but to require them to be filled by
someone they do not serve. Such a conclusion would put an intol-
erable burden on the City Manager if he would refuse a Council-
person's suggestion for the position.

We therefore conclude that the Council may constitute
themselves as a "department".
In reaching this conclusion, we are mindful of the following
countervailing arguments:
(a) The title of the very section granting the Council
power to create departments--Section 50l--is "Administrative
Departments". While not in itself controlling, it is some
evidence that the drafters intended that this power be exercised
with regard to formation of departments to perform the
administrative functions of the city--functions which, by the
"Council/Manager Form of Government", the Council is deliberately
precluded. 47 This argument may be diminished by the fact that,
typically in statutory construction, titles are not controlling
over content. 48
(b) Furthermore, a reading of the third paragraph of
Section 501, could lend itself to the construction that anv such
department created by the Council under such authority would be
headed by a designee of the City Manager49. Under such a
reading, it is illogical to believe that if the drafters
contemplated a Mayor/Council Department, they would have given
the Appointive Power over their department head to the City
Manager.
However, one rule of statutory construction is that an
attempt should be made to reconcile, if possible, the various
47. See previous discussion and section 305, cited above.
48. Please note that San Diego Charter section 26, quoted in
footnote 43 above, like our own Section 501, has the word
"administrative" in the title. Unlike ours, however, the content
of this Section 26 limits the "department-tinkering" power of the
Council to "administrative departments", does not specifically
say they can "create" a department, and lets them exercise their
"power creation" authority only on a supermajority vote
requirement. In otherwords, our Charter distributes a broader
"Department Creation Power" to our City Council than does the San
Diego Charter distribute to their Council!
49. Section 501, Third Paragraph:
". . .Each department so created shall be headed by an
officer designated as department head who shall be appointed
by the City Manager, subject to the approval of the City
Council."
staff4.wp

parts of a statutory law. Such a reconciliation is readily
available: The City Manager's Appointment Power over "each
department so created" is limited to such departments as are
"subject to the City Manager's direction" and "for the
departments for which the city Manager is responsible". 50
This argument may be dismissed if the Appointing Authority
language is recognized as modifying the creation of such
departments subject to the city Manager's direction, and not all
departments.
(c) The consequence of "departmental existence" is
Appointive Authority over employees assigned to it.51 Yet
50. It is appropriate at this point to restate all of section
501, in its entirety, with emphasis added to clarify this point:
"Sec. 501.
Administrative Departments.
The City Council may by ordinance not inconsistent with
this Charter provide for the creation of additional
departments and the assignment of general functions to such

compensation of all positions, unless otherwise mandated by
this Charter. Each department so created shall be headed bv
an officer desianated as department head who shall be
appointed bv the citv Manaaer. sub;ect to the approval of
the Citv Council."
51. See previous discussion, and Section 507, which provides:
" Each department head and appointive officer shall have
the power to appoint and remove such deputies, assistants,
subordinates and employees as are provided for by the City
Council for their department or office, . . ., and subject
to prior approval of the City Manager."

Approval Authority over "all other positions" is reserved to the
City Manager.52 It is somewhat illogical to believe that the
drafters contemplated a Mayor/Council Department where they would
have had to succumb to the City Manager's discretion for the
approval of their own Council staff. Please note that we
prefaced this Opinion with a recognition that the Charter
drafter's probably had not contemplated Council Staff--a failing
which is not fatal to the long term viability of the document.
This has to be simply recognized as an anomaly that the city
Manager will have to approve or reject the Council's appointment
of their proposed Council staff.
10. The position Allocation Power--Who has the Power to Assiqn a
Created position to a Department?
Even if a Department of Mayor and Council ("Council
Department") gets created, how does the Charter distribute the
power to allocate a created position to the "Council Department"?
Specifically, even if the Council were to create Alter Ego
Council Staff, if the Manager--not the Council--has the power to
allocate such positions to a department, the Manager could
theoretically obstruct and redistribute the collateral
Appointment Power from the Council to the Department to which the
position is assigned.
The Charter contradicts itself as to which Office--the
Manager or the Council--has the power to allocate created
positions to Departments.
In support of this power residing in the city Council, we
note that Section 507 recognizes that employees are to be
provided bv the City Council for a department or office53.
52. section 507, Department Heads; Appointment Powers, in
pertinent part, provides:
" Each department head and appointive officer shall have
the power to appoint and remove such deputies, assistants,
subordinates and employees as are provided for by the City
Council for their department or office, . . ., and subiect
to prior approval of the city Manaqer."
53. Section 507, Department Heads: Appointment Powers, provides:
Each department head and appointive officer shall have the
power to appoint and remove such deputies, assistants,
subordinates and employees as are provided for bY the city
(continued. . . )

/L/~ 7/
Section 505 provides that the City Council may assign additional
functions or duties to an office or department of the City. 54
Section 501 gives them the power to assign general functions to
such added departments. 55
In support of the case that the position Allocation Function
resides in the City Manager, we note that the second paragraph of
section 501, set forth above, makes the Manager responsible for
the "organizational structure of all departments subject" to his
direction, and shall "provide staff for the departments for
which" he is responsible.
This discussion, hopefully unlike the rest of the opinion,
is more theoretical than practical. Once the Council creates
Alter Ego Council Staff and the City Council Department, it is an
academic exercise to worry about who, between the City Manager
and the City Council, has the power to assign them to the City
Council Department. Remember, as Alter Ego Council Staff, these
are people that can only do the non-administrative bidding of the
Councilperson. It would strain logic to suggest that whichever
Office had the power, they would not assign them to the City
Council Department.
Having said that, we can only reconcile the parts of the
Charter by saying that the Council has the power to allocate an
administrative oosition, such as an Administrative Council Staff,
to the City Manager's Office, who shall thereafter redistribute
and reallocate that position to such a place in the organiza-
tional structure as he deems appropriate. As to departments not
assigned to the City Manager's Office, such as in the case of a
53. ( . . . continued)
Council for their deoartment or office, subject to the civil
service provisions, or as provided by ordinance of the Council as
authorized by section 500(a) of this Charter, and subject to
prior approval of the City Manager. (emphasis added)
54. section 505, Duties of Officers and Emolovees, provides:
" The City Council, by ordinance, may assign additional
functions or duties to offices, departments or agencies
established by this Charter, but may not discontinue or
assign to any other office, department or agency any
function or duty assigned by this Charter to a particular
office, department or agency."

"to-be-formed" Mayor/Council Department, the Council retains full
authority to assign the Alter Ego council staff to the Council
Department.
11. Who will have "supervisorial authoritv" over Council Staff?
Conclusion:
the Mayor will have the authority to
supervise "Alter Ego" Council Staff. The
Manager, or his designee will have the
authority to supervise "Administrative"
Council Staff.
The Mayor has the powers of all other Councilmembers, but is
given certain additional powers which include, for example: the
power to issue state of the City reports, the power to the
official head of the City for ceremonial purposes, the power to
take command of the police during time of public danger or
emergency with the consent of the Council, to represent the City
regionally, among others.
section 304 (b) (6) sets forth specifically that the Mayor
was intended to be the Supervisor of all personnel assigned to
the Mayor/council Office:
"(6) to supervise the operation of the Mayor/Council office
and personnel assigned thereto."
It is therefore my opinion that the Mayor would be the
supervisor of Alter Ego Council Staff.
If, on the otherhand, the Council Staff are Administrative
council Staff, the City Manager, or his department head, would
have supervisorial control over the Council Staff.
12. What duties mav be assiqned to Council Staff?
12.1. Administrative Duties Restriction.
An Alter Ego Council Staff may not perform, individually or
on behalf of his designated Councilperson, "administrative
functions" and may not interfere with the City Manager in his
performance of "administrative functions".
For the distinguishing features of administrative functions
versus alter ego discussions, see Section 4.2 above.
12.2. Official Acts.

that all powers not otherwise distributed are vested in the

Council.56 The People are entitled to the individual service
and discretion of the Councilperson. We believe that the Charter
would not tolerate a delegation of such official authority to any
person, including Council staff.
As such, Council staff would not be able to sign official
documents on behalf of a Councilmember. They would not be able
to participate in Council deliberations in lieu of their
designated Councilperson. Of course, they would not be able to
vote on their behalf.
12.3. Political Activities.
The Council staff should be specially cautioned that the
prohibition against Political Activities would limit the duties
assigned to the Council Staff. 57
12.4. Financial Conflicts of their Assigned Council.
Both the Fair Political Practices Act and our own
prohibition against illegal contracts prohibits the Councilmember
from "direct" or "indirect" participation in conflicting
56. Section 201, cited above.
57. Section 707, Improper Political Activitv, which operates as
a proscription on the activities of Councilmembers, would also
operate with regard to Alter Ego Council staff. It provides, in
pertinent part:
" No elective or appointive officer or employee of the
City of Chula Vista, whether employed in the Classified or
Unclassified Service, shall:
(a) Directly or indirectly use, promise, threaten or
attempt to use any official influence in the aid of any
partisan political activity, or to affect the result of any
election to partisan or political office or upon any other
corrupt condition or consideration;
(b) Solicit or coerce from any other officer or
employee of the City of Chula Vista, any political
assessment, subscription or contribution;

transactions. The Council staff may not participate in any
transaction for their assigned Councilperson from which their
assigned Councilperson would be precluded.
13. Should YOU have Council Staff--Collaterally Leaal Precau-
tionary warninas?
This is a policy choice that involves many other considera-
tions than mere legality, although as outlined herein, there are
some significant legal constraints on your choices.
As part of a team of general policy advisors, this Office
feels obligated that you be advised on all collaterally-legal
concerns and on such other policy aspects as it sees with regard
to this matter not otherwise presented.
I recognize that I am treading into an area of policy advice
for which I was not retained. I do so somewhat regrettably
knowing that this is a matter containing a significant emotional
charge. I feel that the points raised in this section need to be
considered by the Council.
Therefore, I will summarily present them without further
policy elaboration. Keep in mind that they do not operate as a
legal constraint on your authority to act, and may, of course, be
summarily ignored.
(1) Consider a Charter Amendment to Chanae the Form of
Government.
A shift in the distribution of power sanctioned by the
Charter should be accomplished by review and approval of the
People of the City. If any Councilperson believes that they will
create the position of Council Staff, or permit their use, in the
performance of administrative activities, this would represent a
redistribution of the power contemplated by the Charter and the
matter should be reviewed by the Charter Review Committee,
reviewed by the Council, and then referred to the People for
vote.
(2) The Consumption of Time is the Price of Elective
Service.
The concept of "Council Staff" exists as a time-saving
alternative for Councilpersons. It recognizably facilitates
otherwise "busy" people to responsibly hold office. As such it
will serve to bring into public service those which, due to their
schedule, may otherwise be effectively precluded from office.
In making your decision, consider the argument that a Coun-
staff4.wp

cilperson is elected to the Office on the premise that the People
would have the benefit of his or her individual inquiry, analy-
sis, research, meeting attendances, etc., as may be required by
the Office, not other persons chosen by the Councilperson.
In short, the Council Staff position should not be viewed as a
time-saving substitute for "putting in the time" required by the
Office.
(3) The Potential for Abuse is Created.
Once the bureaucracy is created, it will probably be irre-
versible, even after all of us are "long gone".
council staff creates the potential for long term abuse and
possible appearance of future impropriety--not necessarily by any
of the current Council, but by future office holders. It may
inadvertently involve them in matters which may have legal and
office-related consequences.
For example, if assigned Council staff performs adminis-
trative acts, the issue will be raised as to whether it was on
behalf or at the direction of the Assigned Councilperson. If
directed, it may result in loss of office. If the act was
unauthorized, it will merely give the appearance of impropriety.
If the assigned Council Staff performs political activity,
the issue will be raised as to whether it was on behalf or at the
direction of the assigned Councilperson. If directed, it may
result in sanctions. If the act was unauthorized, it will merely
give the appearance of impropriety.
If the Council Staff participates in governmental decisions
in which the Assigned Councilperson may have a financial conflict
of interest, the issue will be raised as to whether it was on
behalf or at the direction of the Assigned Councilperson. If
directed, it may result in sanctions. If the act was unauthor-
ized, it will merely give the appearance of impropriety.
In sum, a Councilperson may be entrusting their public
service career, in part, to the judgment of their Council Staff.
(5) Council Staff may operate to distance you from
Administration.
The existence of a "middleman" or "middlewoman" may operate
to separate the city Manager's Office from the Elective Office.
Messages may be sent back and forth via Council Staff courier.
Not only may the message be misconveyed, but the tone, inflec-
tion, body language, and all other "non-speech" forms of com-
munication that you may otherwise get through personal contact

will be lost. Furthermore, a new personality, not possessing the
"official" status of the Councilperson, will be injected into the
communication process which may further distort the message.
Conclusion.
In this vein, we caution you that, while creating Council
staff can be accomplished within the framework of the Charter,
creating and filling Council staff positions should be given
serious consideration by the Council, and simply because it may
be legal, may not otherwise be advisable.

SUBMITTED BY:
Report on the Utility Underground Conversion for Fifth Avenue
between "L" and Naples Streets.
Director of Public wory
City Manag~
ITEM TITLE:
REVIEWED BY:
(4/5ths Vote: Yes_No_xJ
On September 10, 1991 the City Council directed staff to prepare a report on the
undergrounding of utilities on Fifth Avenue between "L" and Naples Streets. This report also
addresses the next phase of Fifth Avenue between Naples Street and Orange A venue. The plans
on this project are nearing completion and we are working with the utility companies on the
relocation plans.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council accept the report.
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: None
REPORT:
The construction of Fifth Avenue between "L" and Naples Streets is nearing completion and
Council requested that staff report back on undergrounding existing utilities to further enhance
its appearance. As a result of this request, we have seriously evaluated undergrounding the
utilities on this portion of Fifth Avenue.
The City of Chula Vista Utility Undergrounding Conversion Program was instituted in 1968.
Since then, approximately 9.8 miles of facilities have been undergrounded at a cost of
$5,164,819. On October 25, 1984, the City Council adopted a report on the City's Utility
Underground Conversion Program. As a result of said adoption, the City Council directed staff
to establish a program which limits the conversion of utilities along the following major
thoroughfares:
1) "E" Street
2) Broadway
3) Fourth Avenue
4) "L" Street
J~/

Meeting Date 9/17/91
5) Otay Valley Road
6) Otay Lakes Road
7) Telegraph Canyon Road
8) "F" Street
9) "J" Street
The report recommended that the conversion of utilities be completed on a street -by-street
sequential basis. The City's current Utility Undergrounding Conversion Program is based on
said report and on the official Undergrounding Program approved by the City Council in 1979.
The City Council first approved a rating system for determining the relative priority of various
potential undergrounding projects in November 1972. The system was subsequently revised in
June 1977 and July 1979. The rating system consists of many factors that help in determining
the ranking of potential projects. The factors are:
FACTOR
MAXIMUM NUMBER
OF POINTS
Traffic Volume
Entry to City
Aesthetic Benefits
Presence of Parks and/or Public Buildings
Relationship to approved undergrounding district!
previously undergrounded facilities
Associated construction project
Property owner funding

A more detailed description of the rating system is attached as Exhibit "A." We also are
attaching Exhibit "B" which shows a developed list that illustrates that Fifth Avenue ranks 21st
in relation to other projects in the current program. If points had been given for an associated
construction project, it would have tied for 15th place. Exhibit "C" shows the mileage of the
projects the cost to underground (i.e. streamline).
Staff believes, as before, that the Conversion Program should be limited to the undergrounding
of utilities along the City's major thoroughfares in order to make the goals of the program more
realistic and obtainable. The adopted Conversion Program is believed appropriate because:
1) It would convert utilities along the most travelled streets in Chula Vista and thereby
improve the aesthetic value of the City's major thoroughfares;
2) The benefit obtained from a more scenic environment would be enjoyed by a greater
number of people, both residents and visitors to our City; and
3) These roadways adjoin or pass through the City's civic, recreation, and scenic areas.
Fifth Avenue has a relatively low average daily traffic volume (ADT) and is not considered a
major thoroughfare. Based on the adopted rating system, it does not rank high enough to be
included on the priority listing of the Utility Undergrounding Conversion Program. The

construction of Fifth Avenue between "L" and Naples Streets is nearing completion. The
contractor wanted to place the final layer of pavement during the week of September 9, 1991.
The contractor has already indicated he wants additional pay if we delay him past September 13,
1991 on completing the paving. The undergrounding work would require us to cut through the
newly installed pavement and sidewalk in most of the street section. However in some areas,
the undergrounding work could take place behind the sidewalks, especially in the area between
"L" and Arizona Streets. According to the Development Coordination and Construction Time
Requirements Chart developed by SDG&E, it could take up to 51 weeks before the start of
actual undergrounding construction and it could take up to 75 weeks before the poles are
removed. Overall the process of undergrounding the utilities could take as much as two years
before completion.
The other utility companies (pacific Bell and Cox Cable) do not allocate conversion funds based
on a set formula as in SDG&E's case. They must, instead, annually budget sufficient funds to
cover conversion projects agreed upon by the Underground Utility Advisory Committee. Since
Fifth A venue is not part of the program, the utility companies will need additional time to better
plan and allocate resources for its undergrounding. According to SDG&E, the streamline
estimate for undergrounding the utilities on Fifth Avenue between "L" and Naples Streets is
$625,000.
If we were to delay placement of the final layer of pavement in order to have a good travel
surface following the undergrounding construction, the following ramifications must be
addressed :
1) The contractor might ask for full payment of the profit that would be realized if the job
were to be completed;
2) Drainage mitigation measures will need to be taken in order to allow proper drainage
flow in the gutters;
3) The manhole rims will remain higher than the surrounding pavement elevations and
might create a hazardous situation; and
4) The street would be left incomplete for a period that could be as much as two years and
the residents would be further inconvenienced for that period of time.
Because of the timeliness of completing the contract and the above considerations, the contractor
is proceeding with the final paving. While the concern raised was a good point, the timing made
the undergrounding difficult at this point. This item could always be reviewed later if it
becomes a concern of the residents.
On the Fifth Avenue projects between Naples Street and Orange Avenue, the construction plans
are essentially complete and we have been working with the utility companies on the relocation
plans. We have now indicated to them that this work should be held off pending a decision on
whether or not we would be undergrounding the utilities. Since we have a project getting ready
to go to construction, it is appropriate to determine now if the utilities should be undergrounded.
The estimated cost to underground this last phase of Fifth Avenue is $750,000. The total
amount of uncommitted 20A Allocation Funds is $4,393,368. The City receives approximately
ley':>
~
Page 4, Item /J:>
Meeting Date 9/17/91
$1.2 million additional each year. As indicated in Exhibit "C" the total cost of all of the
possible utility undergrounding projects is $17,848,600.
Because of the relatively low ranking of Fifth Avenue from Naples Street to Orange Avenue,
we recommend that the priority list be followed in implementing the City's Utility
Undergrounding Conversion Program. Based on this report, we do not recommend that the .
utilities on Fifth Avenue be undergrounded at this time. We will follow up in the very near
future with a report on the entire Utility Undergrounding Conversion Program for
reconsideration. The next phases of Fifth Avenue will not be scheduled until the City Council
has had more of an opportunity to review the entire program.

peak hours of over 50% within five years. Measures in transportation demand management
plans could include carpooling, transit and bicycle incentives, flex hours and alternative
workweeks, hiring from residential areas near the place of employment, or other measures to
be determined in each plan. Plans should be monitored for compliance with goals, and goals
should be periodically evaluated for their ability to achieve healthier air.

MEMORANDUM September 9, 1991
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Mayor Tim Nader
SUBJECT: Environmental Agenda for the 90's
For the convenience of Council, I have grouped the items for action
in the "Environmental Agenda for the 90's" under several
categories. Hopefully, this will facilitate easy referencing and
discussion of the various ordinances and policies proposed.
Air Oualitv
7. A Transportation Demand Management Ordinance.
As you know, APCD and SANDAG are considering transportation
management schemes which would require punitive taxes on
employers and/or employees. My proposal would permit large
businesses (and the City) the flexibility of adopting a plan
suited to the needs of a particular employer or region,
allowing more creativity in meeting the objectives of the
Clean Air Act, and avoiding the use of taxes and fines for
firms which devise successful plans. It would be my hope that
quick adoption and implementation of this proposal could
become a model for our region, and could avoid the unfavorable
impacts on our region's economy that would likely result from
current proposals by APCD and SANDAG (impacts which would be
greatly exacerbated by the so called "Twinports" proposal).
I am advised that Clean Air Act would allow us to implement
such a measure, provided that APCD does not mandate any
additional measures.
8. A City Government Transportation Demand Management Plan in
Events of the Effective Date of the Ordinance Implementing #7,
above.

Legal Opinion
Date:
September 15, 1991
From:
Bruce M. Boogaard, City Attorney
D. Richard Rudolf, Assistant City Attorney
To:
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
cc:
City Manager
Jim Thomson
Re:
Council Staff
1. Reauest for Advice.
At the request of the Council, the Council will receive and
deliberate upon a report from the City Manager with regard to
alternative approaches to Council Staffing.
Many issues will arise during such deliberation, many of
which are legal in nature.
I have been requested by the Manager's office to supplement
such a report with my opinion on the legal issues involved in the
decision confronting you. This report is intended to provide
that legal advice.
2. Leaal Issues Presented.
The duties which the Council want the "Council Staff" to
perform will define the consequences. "Duty definition" is
critical because it will be the basis for determining who has the
relevant Personnel Power.
Given that the duties are defined, the following is a
summary of the legal issues which I see as presented by the City
Manager's report:
2.1. Does the Council have the authority to create Council
Staff Positions ("Position Creation Power")?
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 1
2.1.1.
Is a Supermajority Vote required?
2.1.2.
Can the Supermajority Vote requirement be
avoided by contracting for the service?
2.2. Who has the power to appoint a person to fill the
Council staff position ("Appointment Power")? Since, as you will
see, the power of appointment flows from the existence of a
Department, the following inquiry become relevant:
2.2.1.
Who has the power to create a department
("Department Creation Power")?
2.2.2.
Who has the power to assign the position to a
Department ("Position Allocation Power")?
2.3. Who has the power to supervise the Council staff
("Supervisorial Power")?
2.4. Who has the power to set the duties of the position
("Duty Assignment Power")?
2.5. Should classification protection be assigned to such
positions, and if so, who has the power to confer such protection
("Classification Power")?
3. Preface and Precautions.
The relation of this subject matter to the heart of our
government--its Charter--bears some preface and precautionary
advice.
3.1. Council Staff was not contemplated by the Drafters.
After thoroughly reviewing the Charter, it is my opinion
that the Charter drafters "probably" did not contemplate or
consider a situation in which the Council would have any staff
more extensive than a Private Secretary to serve both the Mayor
and Council. 1
1. section 500, Appointment and Removal of Officers and
Department Heads, provides, in section (a):
" (a) Appointment. .. .there shall be in the
Unclassified service a private secretary for the. . Mayor
and Council who shall be appointed by the respective
officers for whom they serve."
(continued. . . )
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 2
However, given this, we can not ignore the authority of the
Charter. The Charter drafters recognized that they were creating
a power distribution document, and had to believe that it would
require interpretation as it may be applied to new demands and
new requirements on the City as it grows and expands. They
provided for the power to create additional departments as the
demands of the City grew, and they provided for the power to
combine shrink or abolish departments as the demands for service
subs ided . 2
Just as the Supreme Court is required to interpret a federal
Constitution whose framers did not contemplate issues of abortion
or radio signals at the time of its creation, all of us are re-
quired to interpret, and sworn to uphold, the City's constitu-
tion--its Charter--as the source for the power distributed to our
respective departments and offices.
3.2. Status of City Attorney's Opinion.
It is, for better or worse, the function and duty of this
Office to provide such interpretation. As a word of caution, my
opinion is not law. The Charter is the law. To the extent that
it is well reasoned, this Opinion may be given some considerable
weight by a reviewing Court, and hopefully, by the People of the
City, the Council, and the City Manager.
1. ( . . . continued)
The authors recognize that, at Section 304, defining the Mayor's
duties, the drafters contemplated the assignment of personnel to
the Mayor/Council Office:
". . .In addition to said powers and duties, the Mayor shall
have the power and duty: .. .(6) to supervise the
operation of the Mayor/council office and personnel assigned
thereto. "
However, such language is not inconsistent with the Private
Secretary assigned by the Charter to the office of Mayor/Council.
2. Section 501, Administrative DeDartments, First Paragraph:
" The City council may by ordinance not inconsistent with
this Charter provide for the creation of additional
departments and the assignment of general functions to such
added departments, and may also abolish specific functions
preformed and the department performing such abolished
functions." ("Department Creation Clause")
staff4.wp

Memo re Council Staff
Page 3
3.3. Interpretation and Judgment is Required in Rendering
this Opinion.
Unfortunately, the Charter is not a model of consistency and
clarity at certain points relevant herein. Certain judgment
calls are required to be made after balancing arguments for and
against an interpretation. Our tools are limited to logic,
common sense, judgment, rules of statutory construction, and a
single case decided within our own appellate district dealing
with a similar effort by the City of San Diego.3
Expressed herein is my best effort in making such interpre-
tations.
4. Summarv of Conclusions.
4.1. Define the Duties.
The conclusions to these legal issues presented depend,
almost exclusively, on the duties to be assigned to the Council
Staff. If the Council wants the Council Staff to perform simply
as extensions of their own persona--their "alter egos" ("Alter
Ego Council Staff")--there is one set of conclusions. If the
Council wants the Council Staff to perform "administratively"
("Administrative Council Staff"), there is another set of
conclusions.
4.2. Whv is there a difference between Alter Eqo and
Administrative Council Staff. and what is the difference?
The reason for the distinction between Alter Ego and
Administrative Council Staff is created by the Charter
establishment of the Council/Manager form of government,
explained in more detail below.
Alter Ego Staff would be required to have such unofficial4
duties, by their jOb specification, as the Council could perform
themselves, such as inquiry, analysis, research, substitute rep-
resentation at community meetings, and message-carrying
functions.
However, the position should be categorized as Administra-
3. Hubbard v. city of San Diego (1976) 55 Cal App. 3d 380, 127
Cal. Rptr. 587., a copy of which should be attached.
4. Obviously, the Council Staff would not be able to engage in
official acts of the assigned councilperson, such as voting or
signature of documents.
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 4
tive Council staff if anv Dart of the duties include requiring
interaction with, or "utilization of", persons reporting under
the City Manager of a more extensive nature than mere inquiry, or
in any way directing or encouraging the City Manager or any of
his departments to perform in any particular way. For example, a
Council staff which was required or permitted to attend the City
Manager's agenda preparation meetings, or department head
meetings, or be required to work with the City Manager in the
preparation of a council agenda report prepared by or through the
city Manager's Office would be categorized as Administrative
Council staff.
4.3. Position Creation Authoritv.
Under either type of staff, the Mayor/Council, as a unit,
has the authority to create, by the budgetary process, Council
Staff positions. If done mid-budget year, it will require four
affirmative votes because it creates positions--this is a
budgetary amendment to the "position plan"s.
4.3.1. Avoidinq the SUDermaioritv Vote Requirement.
Although not recommended, the creation of positions can
be avoided by contracting for "Council Staff" services, and
therefore this supermajority vote requirement may be reduced to
three affirmative votes.
However, unless an appropriation already exists in the
budget of the department to which the "position" is allocated,
the Charter will require an appropriation, and hence four
affirmative votes. Thus as to Contract Alter Ego Staff to be, by
definition, assigned to the City Council "department", funds must
be appropriated to, and expended from, the City Council budget.
As to "Contract Administrative Council Staff", funds will need to
be appropriated to, and expended from, the city Manager budget.

position is assigned, has the power to fill ("Appointment Power")
such position, and to supervise ("Supervisorial Power") such
position.
4.4.1.1. Contract Administrative Council Staff.
As to Administrative Council Staff, the Council/
Manager form of government would not tolerate the subterfuge of a
"contract employee" engaged by the Council as a means of avoiding
the consequence that the Appointment Power resides in the City
Manager. Although not recommended, an Administrative Council
Staff could be engaged by contract as long as the City Manager is
vested with the contractor selection authority.6
4.4.2. Alter Eqo Council Staff.
If the Council desires Alter Ego Council Staff, the
Council has the power, by adoption of an ordinance, to constitute
themselves as a "department" of the City.
4.4.2.1. Delav Problem.
Such an ordinance could not become effective for
approximately 35-40 days except upon a finding
that such urgency is necessary to preserve the
pUblic peace, health, safety, and general
welfare,7 and then, only by four affirmative
6. Our Municipal Code, at Section 2.56.220 (C), establishes the
procedures to be used for the selection of "consultants". It
requires the City Manager to appoint a selection committee and to
recommend the appointment to the City Council for approval.
However, this ordinance created procedure would not survive
scrutiny as applied in this unique case to Administrative Council
Staff, because it would permit the Council to act like an
"appointing authority" over a service assigned exclusively to the
City Manager by the Charter.
7. Section 311, Adoption of Ordinances and Resolutions,
provides:
" (d) Emergency Ordinances. Any ordinance declared by
the city Council to be necessary as an emergency measure for
preserving the public peace, health, safety, and general
welfare and containing a statement of the reasons for its
urgency, may be introduced and adopted at one and the same
meeting if passed by at least four affirmative votes.

votes of the Council.s
If the Council constitutes themselves as a "depart-
ment", they would have the power to allocate the position to the
City Council Department, and they would have the Appointment
Power to fill the position or positions by majority vote of their
body. The Supervisorial Power over such employee, short of
discipline or termination, would reside in the Mayor.
Disciplinary and termination authority would reside in the entire
Council. As an anomaly of a Charter provision, the City Manager
will have to approve the Council's appointment of their proposed
Council Staff appointees.
4.4.2.2. Contract Alter Ego Council staff.
Unlike Administrative Council Staff, the Council/
Manager form of government would not create an obstacle to the
retention of Alter Ego Council Staff by contract, because by
definition of their duties, they could not interfere with the
administrative arm of the city. Nevertheless, it is not
recommended because a "contractor" relationship is not being
proposed, and no particular advantage exists from the perspective
of being able to avoid the Supermajority Vote Requirement.
4.5. Classification Power.
An Alter Ego Council Staff person should, but is not legally
required to be, in the unclassified service, thus serving at the
pleasure of the Mayor/Council. For the purposes herein relevant,
the Council has this "Classification Power".
4.6. Dutv Limitations.
As Alter Ego Council Staff, certain duty limitations should
be placed on them. In addition to prohibiting "administrative
activity" for which the City Manager has ultimate responsibility,
such duties should also be carefully written to prohibit
8. The 30 day period after the Council adoption and prior to the
effective date of an ordinance is commonly referred to as the
"referendum period". It was designed to give the People the time
to exercise their Referendum Power by collecting and fileina a
petition to "refer" the ordinance to the voters. Since we are
dealing with a matter very close to the heart of the power
distribution scheme created by the People in the Charter, this is
particularly a case in which the Referendum Period should not be
lightly slighted. Accordingly, I would recommend against the
urgency finding, but it is clearly within the judgment of the
Council.

prohibit activity in any matter in which the Councilperson may
have a financial conflict of interest. ("Duty Limitations")
4.7. Should the Council have Council Staff?
There are non-legal and collaterally-legal matters which the
Council should consider which do not necessarily constitute an
obstacle to the creation of Council Staff. I feel it is my
responsibility to bring these to your attention, regardless of
how you may feel about such staffing.
Analysis and Discussion
.2......
Backqround ConceDts
.
5.1. Our Charter Establishes a Council/Manaqer Form of
Government.
The Charter is to a city what the Constitution is to the
Federal Government. It is, for local government, the "power
distribution document". It tells the people and their local
representatives who has the authority, or power, to do what.
In virtually all forms of local government that exist, the
elected representatives establish policy. However, the manner in
which the power to implement that policy is allocated is the key
variable that defines the form of local government.
Our Charter establishes what is referred to as a "Council/
Manager" form of government. This is a form of government
characterized by the fact that it distributes to the elected
representatives--the Council--the power to set policy, and it
distributes to the City Manager the power to formulate policy
alternatives and to implement such policy as is set by Council.
It may be contrasted to another form of local government
referred to as the "strong Mayor" form of government which
distributes policy setting and policy implementation duties to
the Office of Mayor. It may also be contrasted to the Mayor/
Administrator form of government where policy implementation
powers are shared between the Office of the Mayor and a Chief
Administrator Officer.
The names or "stereotypes" assigned to the form of
government do not define the distribution of power--the charter
provisions do. However, the form of government selected by the
Charter framers establish "a framer's intent" with which to
interpret the charter provisions where there may be ambiguities
in the precise language, imprecisions in the draftsmanship, or
staff4.wp

situations which are not specifically addressed in the Charter.
As this memo will document, the current issue of "council
staffing" presents charter interpretation issues in this zone.
~ How does our Charter establish a Council/Manaqer Form
of Government?
All powers to function as a City, not otherwise distributed
by the Charter, are vested in the Council.9
The "administrative power"--Le., the power to implement
policy set by the Council--has been "otherwise distributed"
exclusively to the city Manager.
section 400'0 charges the city Manager to be the "executive
officer" of the City. 11 section 401 further defines that, by
"executive officer", the City Manager is
"the head of the administrative branch of the City
government, and [is] responsible to the City Council for the
proper administration' of all affairs of the city. ,,12
9. Sec. 201, Powers Vested in Council, provides:
" All powers of the City, except as otherwise provided in
this Charter, shall be vested in the City Council."
("Residual Jurisdiction Clause")
This Residual Jurisdiction Clause is important in cases where
there is an silence in the Charter.
10. All section references are to the Charter except as
otherwise indicated in the text.
11. Sec. 400(a), "City Manager", provides:
" (a) Appointment; Salary. There shall be a City
Manager who shall be the executive officer of the City; to
be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the city
Council. The city Manager shall be chosen on the basis of
administrative qualifications and shall be paid a salary,
fixed by the Council, commensurate with responsibilities."
12. At section 402, the City Manager is even given the power to
"participate in deliberations of the City Council, but shall not
have a vote."
staff4.wp

Memo re Council Staff

The Charter specifically cautions the Council not to involve'
itself into "administrative affairs"--but to leave such affairs
to the judgment and discretion of the City Manager. The Charter
is very clear and very adamant about this. It establishes. as a
penaltv for its violation. "loss of office"! Section 305,
entitled "Prohibited Acts" is the "cornerstone" of the
Council/Manager form of government, and deals exclusively with
the dichotomy between policy setting and administrative powers:
" No member of the Council shall directly or indirectly,
by suggestion or otherwise, attempt to unduly influence the
City Manager or other officer appointed or confirmed by the
Council in their performance of duties.
The Mayor and the Councilmen are hereby individually
and collectively prohibited from performing any administra-
tive or executive functions except as same may be authorized
by this Charter or by ordinance of the City of Chula Vista.
Except for the purpose of inquiry, the Council and its
members shall deal with that part of the administrative
service for which the City Manager is responsible solely
through the City Manager.
A violation of the provisions of this section by any
member of the Council shall constitute misconduct for which
the offending member may be removed from office by the
Council."
Thus, if the Council Staff are in any way entitled to
interfere with the City Manager's administration of the affairs
of the City other than by inquiry, or to otherwise inject
themselves into the administrative arm of the City, this
Council/Manager form of government requires that they report to,
be appointed by, and exist to serve the City Manager.
This then is the basis for the distinction between Alter Ego
Council Staff and Administrative Council Staff. As Administra-
tive Council Staff, their overriding purpose will be to enhance
the Manager's liaison with the Council.
6. The Charter's Division of Personnel Authoritv.
Council Staffing, like other staffing decisions, is an
exercise of the Personnel Power set forth in the Charter.
In an apparent effort to curb potential abuses in personnel
practices in local government, the Charter drafters divided the
Personnel Powers among different Offices of the City in a manner
more fractured than is typically seen in private sector
staff4.wp

employment practices.
Our Charter recognizes at various points, a deliberate
division of the Personnel Powers. For the purposes of this
opinion, the Personnel Power is "fractured" into at least the
following categories under the Charter:
1. The decision that the job is needed ("Position Creation
Power").
2. The assignment or allocation of the created position to
an Office or Department ("Position Allocation Power").

6. The power to assign duties to the position ("Duty

6. The right to supervise the employee ("Supervisorial

7. The power to confer civil service protection to a
position ("Classification Power") .
We will herein attempt to explain how the Charter
distributes each of these subpowers of the Personnel Power at
least for'purposes relevant hereto--the Council Staff issue13.
7. Can the Council Create "Council Staff" positions?
Conclusion:
Yes, except for Charter-established
"Offices", the position Creation Power has
been assigned to the Council.
13. Other divisions of the personnel power, not relevant here,
are created in the Charter. For example, the right to discipline
and terminate is divided, based on classification status, between
various persons.

Page 11
While recognizing some Charter ambiguity14, on balance, it
is our o~inion that, as to all positions not categorized as an
"Office" 5, the City Council has the Position Creation Power,
which is exercised through the adoption or amendment of the
Budget.
The Budget can be adopted by three affirmative votes.16 It
14. section 501, Administrative Departments, Third Paragraph,
provides, in pertinent part:
" The City Council shall control by budget the number and
compensation of all positions, unless otherwise mandated by
this Charter." ("Number and Compensation Clause")
The authors recognize that this does not specifically state
that the Council has the power to create positions, just control
the number and pay. This has to be judged as a drafting
oversight and should be interpreted to mean: "the Council shall
control . . .the existence, number and compensation of all
positions, . . ."
The position Creation Power is not elsewise distributed
except less precisely in the same section, Second Paragraph:
"The City Manager shall . . .provide staff for the
departments for which the City Manager is responsible."
Was "shall . . .provide staff" intended to establish the
City Manager's power to create positions in the face of the
Number and Compensation Clause cited above? We think not,
especially in light of the historic practice that the City
Council has always been responsible, through the budgets, for
creating positions.
In light of the Residual Jurisdiction Clause, it is our
judgment that the city Council is vested with the Position
Creation Power.
15. An "Office" is a charter-created position which can not be
abrogated by the Council. The Mayor and Councilperson, City
Clerk, City Manager, City Attorney, and the Finance Director are
examples of "Offices". See Section 505 which permits the Council
to assign additional functions or duties to "offices",
departments or agencies, but may not abrogate same.

7.1. Can the Mid-Year Supermaioritv Vote Reauirement be

staff has attempted to prepare scenarios under which the
Supermajority Vote Requirement could be avoided if the majority
of the Council so insisted. Under most all scenarios presented,
four affirmative votes will be required.
scenario 1. If there were sufficient funds available under
the City Manager's "budget amendment" authority, could the
City Manager transfer (i.e., appropriate) sufficient funds
for the positions without requiring a "Budget Amendment"?
Conclusion: Yes, if the Council Staff type selected is

serving under the authority of the City Manager.
The Council, at the time of the adoption of the Budget,
delegated certain limited "amendment authority" to the
City Manager.18 While I believe that this was a

legitimate delegation of budget-amendment authority,19
according to the City Manager, the "inter-departmental"
aspect of this language was intended to allow the
transfer between the department of "vacancy savings"
between accounts.
"vacancy savings" are unexpended appropriations
resulting from routine turnover, or vacancies, in
positions resulting from retirements, career
advancements, terminations, etc. The department in
which they occur are somewhat unpredictable, but given
the large employment base of the City, the amount can
be historically predicted with some accuracy. This
clause was designed to permit the City Manager
discretion to shift those saving to the departments in
which they actually occur.
Accordingly, it would be inappropriate for the City
Manager to use this clause as authority to appropriate
compensation for newly created positions which can't
otherwise muster the Charter-sanctioned vote
requirement.
However, the Budget adoption resolution cited above
also has an "intra-departmental" aspect, giving the
18. ( . . . continued)
services and to transfer appropriations between control
accounts for Employee Services only."
Control accounts are "departments". Note that the City Manager
can therefore transfer funds "intra-departmentally" and "inter-
departmentally".
19. There is nothing in the Charter that requires a line-item
bUdget--a budget which would have limited the City Manager to
expending the City resources only for the specific purpose
described by each individual line item.
Rather, section 1005 states that "the several amounts stated
therein as proposed expenditures shall be and become appropriated
to the several departments, offices and agencies for the
respective object and purposes therein named."
Consistent with the requirements that their be a "depart-
mentalization" of expenditures, the City Council adopted a
modification, or blend, of the line item budget because in the
adopting resolution, it gave the city Manager certain transfer,
or "administrative amendment" authority.
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 14
City Manager the authority to transfer funds between
different accounts in the same Department. This was
designed to give the Manager "managerial flexibility"
in administering the affairs of the City.
Thus if existing funds are already appropriated to the
city Manager's Department, and are transferred from one
account to another by use of his delegation of "budget
amendment" authority, the City Manager could make the
funds available to pay for an Administrative Council
Staff, but not an Alter Ego Council Staff.
Scenario 2. Could the contingency fund of $30,000 in the
"non-departmental" account, normally under the control and
direction of the Council to handle small contingencies
throughout the year without requiring a Supermajority Vote,
be used to create the Council Staff positions?
Conclusion: No, it would still be a budget amendment
of the "position plan".
Without reference to the peculiarities of our City, a
budget is, in its primary sense, a "spending plan" for
the City that requires the identification of resources
and sets forth the plan for the expenditure of those
resources. A budget typically contemplates a "position
or personnel plan" as part of the "spending plan" but
it is not normally considered a sine aua non of
budgets.
However, under the authority of the Number and
Compensation Clause cited above, our Charter has
elevated the "position plan" component to an integral
part of the budget in that it gives control over the
number and compensation of allfositions to the Council
through the budgetary process.2
Historically, all new positions are created at the
budget approval hearings, or have been enacted only
with four affirmative votes.
Therefore, it is my opinion that any time there is any
mid-year change in the "position plan", with or without
a corresponding resource reallocation, that four
affirmative votes are required.
Scenario 3. Could the service required by the Council Staff
20. Section 501 cited above.
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 15
be obtained by contract, thereby avoiding the creation of
positions?
Conclusion: Yes, if there are already sufficient
resources previously appropriated to the discretion of
the department or office and purpose served by the
"contractor"--i, e., the City Council. Then funding
would be within the transfer discretion of the City
Manager.
Although not recommended, the service can be obtained
by contract. It is not recommended because the key
distinguishing feature between an "independent
contractor" as opposed to an "employee" is that an
employee is directed as to the ways and means of
performing his duties. An "independent contractor" is
given a task to accomplish, and is left to his own
devices as to the way and means of achieving it.21
We have admittedly, in past practices, blurred this
distinction in having services performed by a "contract
employee" when it served other departments or offices
of the city. It would be hypocritical now to assert
its impropriety as applied to benefit the Council.22
If used despite its inadvisability, nevertheless, the
"contract employee" practice can not be used to assign
administrative duties in violation of the authority of
the City Manager to control all administrative matters.
However, as a general concept, the Charter requires
that, prior to expenditure, there be an appropriation
to the department or office served by the expendi-
21. See discussion at 38 Cal. Jur. 3d Independent Contractors,
Section 2.
22. However, this Office intends to continue its course of
action discouraging "contract employees" in the future because
(1) we may not have the shelter of tort liability immunity for
injury to such employees; (2) there may be liability to the IRS
for failure to withhold taxes; and (3) as "real" but unrecognized
employees, we may be required to make PERS contributions with
regard to the cost of their service.

ture.B It would be an intolerable violation of the
Charter-approved budgetary scheme to spend consultant
money appropriated to the Public Works department on a
consultant designed to serve the Parks Department. For
the same reason, the Charter will not permit, without
amendment, the expenditure of funds on Council Staff--
be it employees or contractors--from a department other
than the city Council.
Scenario 4. Could the contingency fund of $30,000 in the
"non-departmental" account, normally under the control and
direction of the Council to handle small contingencies
throughout the year without requiring a Supermajority Vote,
be used to create the Council Staff bv contract?
Conclusion: Yes, but it will still require
appropriation to the City Council "department" budget.
This scenario is a blend of Scenario 2 and 3. It was
designed to avoid the "position plan" amendment problem
which, as in Scenario 2, required amendment to the
budget, and 4/5ths vote. It avoids the Scenario 2
constraint by contracting for the service.
However, it does not pass the Scenario 3 hurdle since
the contingency account in the "Non-Departmental"
budget is not appropriated to serve the Mayor/Council
Office or "department".24

positions?--the Charter Allocation of Appointment Authoritv.

"From the effective date of the budget, the several amounts
stated therein as proposed expenditures shall be and become
appropriated to the several departments. offices and

named." (emphasis added)
24. The description of the Non-Departmental "budget" in our

Even though the Charter allocates the position Creation
Authority to the Council, it has reserved most of the Appointment
Authority to the City Manager, or to the Department Head as
herein explained.
As to "appointive positions"--the City Manager, City
Attorney, City Clerk, and a private secretary to the Mayor/
Council--the Charter gives exclusive Appointment Power to the
Council. 25
As to Assistant and Deputy positions, the Charter gives
Appointment Power to the supervisor of the position--the City

As to other officers and department heads27, the Charter

As to all other employees, which would include, presumably,
Council Staff, the Charter gives to the Department Head and/or
"appointive officer,,29 the Appointment Power over such
"employees as are provided for by the City Council,,30 for their
department or office, and reserves to the City Manager the
Approval Power over all such employees.31
Thus, in this scheme of things, except as the Charter
distributes special appointment powers to the Council, and
appointive Offices (Manager, Clerk, Attorney, Private
Secretaries), the Appointment Power over a position flows from
being designated as a Department Head of a "department" to which
the position is assigned. Hence, the ability or power to assign
a position ("Position Allocation Power") to a department becomes
theoretically critical.
As applied to Administrative Council Staff, the Manager or
other existing department head would have the Appointment
Authority.

" Subject to the provisions of Section 500 of Article V
of the Charter, the City Manager shall appoint all

service provisions, or as provided by ordinance of the
Council as authorized by Section 500(a) of this Charter, and
subject to prior approval of the City Manager."
This is consistent with Section 401(a) defining the powers of the
City Manager.

However, as to Alter Ego Council Staff, the question arises
as to whether the Mayor/Council is a Department.
9. Is the Council/Mayor Office a Department Sufficient to
Permit Them to be the Appointinq Authoritv?
Conclusion:
No, but the Council has the authority to make
themselves a department, and an ordinance is
attached which will accomplish such an
objective.
The Charter treats the Council and Mayor as an "office". An
Office is a charter-recognized position, the main consequence of
which is that it can not be abolished or modified by the Council.
There are five elective offices--the Mayor and Councilmembers--
and there are at least four appointive offices--the city Manager,
the city Clerk, the City Attorney, the Finance Director.
However, the Charter recognizes and treats Offices
differently from Departments such as to lead us to conclude that
an Office is not, by Charter, a department. The Charter does
not, of itself, recognize the City Council32 as a separate
department of the City. In contrast for example, it does so
recognize a Finance Department.33
However, at section 501, "Administrative Departments", the
Council is granted the power to create additional departments by
ordinance~ not inconsistent with the Charter~ and assign
general functions to such added departments.
32. Or the City Clerk or the City Attorney--these are considered
Offices in the eyes of the Charter.
33. Section 504, Director of Finance: Powers and Duties,
provides, in pertinent part:
" There shall be a Finance Department headed by a
Director of Finance, who shall have power and be required
to. . ."
34. The requirement that the Department Creation Power has to be
created or provided for by ordinance dispels the notion that the
adoption of the budget, an act which occurs by resolution, has
the power to constitute the Council as a department.
35. section 501, Administrative Departments, First Paragraph,
provides:
(continued. . . )
staff4.wp

Page 20
The Council has exercised this "department creation" ~ower
by creating, by ordinance, for example a Police Department , a
Fire Department37, Park and Recreation Department~, and a
Community Development Department39.
Would the Charter tolerate an ordinance which creates a
"Mayor/Council Department" so as to permit the Mayor/Council to
have appointing authority?
While there appears to be authority on each side of this
very important issue, it is my opinion that the weight of the
authority would permit the Council to constitute itself as a
Department.
In the first instance, the Charter appears to recognize that
there may be departments other than departments subject to the
City Manager's direction. In the second paragraph of Section
501, the Charter states:
" The City Manager shall be responsible for the
organizational structure of all departments subiect to the
Citv Manaqer's direction, including their divisions,
sections, crews and other necessary unit components and
shall assign duties, delegate administrative powers, and
provide staff for the departments for which the Citv Manaqer
is responsible."
This implies, in two separate places,40 that the Charter
drafters contemplated that there may be need to be other

departments which may be created for which the City Manager may
not be responsible--even at a time when they were creating a very
rigid Council/Manager form of government. This could have been a
reference to the future creation of a "City Attorney's
Department" or the "City Clerk's Department", but the Charter is
just as silent as to the creation of departments around such
Offices as it is for a "Council/Mayor Department" around the
Office of Mayor/Council.
Second, in the case of Hubbard4', the Fourth Appellate
District42, gave dictum sanction to such a practice. In
Hubbard, the City of San Diego Council attempted to create an
"administrative" department that reported to the Council,
circumventing the City Manager's Office. This was found to be
illegal as a violation of their Council/Manager form of
government. In doing so, however, the appellate court gave
implicit recognition and sanction to a charter provision43
giving the Council the authorit~ to create departments--not
dissimilar to our own provision .
In Hubbard, the San Diego City Council constituted

provides:

Offices of the city Government are hereby continued unless
changed by the provisions of this Charter or by ordinance of
the Council. The Council shall be ordinance, by majority

themselves as Departments, which under another Charter
section45, entitled them allegedly to staffing.
To this effort, the Hubbard Court said:
" The right must be recognized of the Council as a body,
and of each member of the Council, to employ one or more
assistants to do clerical, research, analytical, reporting
and communications work to facilitate the performance of the
duties of the legislative body and its members. Included in
that category would be agents to obtain desired information
from the Manager, and to analyze it and the proposed budget
for the benefit of the members of the Council individually
or collectively.
Such agents or employees would be only representatives
of the Councilor its members operating in extension. Such
representatives, acting on the initiative and under the
direction of the Councilor its members clearly differ from
a department of the City working on its own initiative and
with its own administrative head and in its internal
administration independent of both Council and Manager."
This is powerful dictum46 by our own Appellate Court in a
case which is indistinguishable of relevant facts from ours, and
is the only case our office could find on the entire subject
matter after doing a nationwide search. It can not be lightly
ignored.
Third, as we have established, the Charter gives the council
the authority to create positions--including Alter Ego Council
Staff positions. It is illogical to conclude that no avenue
should be available to the Council to permit them to appoint such
persons to fill the position, but to require them to be filled by
someone they do not serve. Such a conclusion would put an intol-
erable burden on the City Manager if he would refuse a Council-
person's suggestion for the position.

such, dictum is exempt from the application of the doctrine of

easily dismiss such a remark.

We therefore conclude that the Council may constitute
themselves as a "department".
In reaching this conclusion, we are mindful of the following
countervailing arguments:
(a) The title of the very section granting the Council
power to create departments--Section 501--is "Administrative
Departments". While not in itself controlling, it is some
evidence that the drafters intended that this power be exercised
with regard to formation of departments to perform the
administrative functions of the City--functions which, by the
"Council/Manager Form of Government", the Council is deliberately
precluded. 47 This argument may be diminished by the fact that,
typically in statutory construction, titles are not controlling
over content. 48
(b) Furthermore, a reading of the third paragraph of
Section 501, could lend itself to the construction that anv such
department created by the Council under such authority would be
headed by a designee of the City Manager49. Under such a
reading, it is illogical to believe that if the drafters
contemplated a Mayor/Council Department, they would have given
the Appointive Power over their department head to the City
Manager.
However, one rule of statutory construction is that an
attempt should be made to reconcile, if possible, the various
47. See previous discussion and Section 305, cited above.
48. Please note that San Diego Charter Section 26, quoted in
footnote 43 above, like our own section 501, has the word
"administrative" in the title. Unlike ours, however, the content
of this Section 26 limits the "department-tinkering" power of the
Council to "administrative departments", does not specifically
say they can "create" a department, and lets them exercise their
"power creation" authority only on a supermajority vote
requirement. In otherwords, our Charter distributes a broader
"Department Creation Power" to our City Council than does the San
Diego Charter distribute to their Council!
49. Section 501, Third Paragraph:
". . .Each department so created shall be headed by an
officer designated as department head who shall be appointed
by the City Manager, subject to the approval of the City
Council."
staff4.wp

parts of a statutory law. Such a reconciliation is readily
available: The city Manager's Appointment Power over "each
department so created" is limited to such departments as are
"subject to the City Manager's direction" and "for the
departments for which the City Manager is responsible". 50
This argument may be dismissed if the Appointing Authority
language is recognized as modifying the creation of such
departments subject to the City Manager's direction, and not all
departments.
(c) The consequence of "departmental existence" is
Appointive Authority over employees assigned to it.51 Yet
50. It is appropriate at this point to restate all of section
501, in its entirety, with emphasis added to clarify this point:
"Sec. 501.
Administrative Departments.
The City Council may by ordinance not inconsistent with
this Charter provide for the creation of additional
departments and the assignment of general functions to such
added departments, and may also abolish specific functions
preformed and the department performing such abolished
functions.
The citv Manaaer shall be responsible for the
oraanizational structure of all departments sub;ect to the
Citv Manaaer's direction, including their divisions,
sections, crews and other necessary unit components and
shall assign duties, delegate administrative powers, and
provide staff for the departments for which the citv Manaaer
is responsible.
The City Council shall control by budget the number and
compensation of all positions, unless otherwise mandated by
this Charter. Each department so created shall be headed bv
an officer desianated as department head who shall be
appointed bv the City Manaaer. sub;ect to the approval of
the citv Council."
51. See previous discussion, and section 507, which provides:
" Each department head and appointive officer shall have
the power to appoint and remove such deputies, assistants,
subordinates and employees as are provided for by the City
Council for their department or office, . . ., and subject
to prior approval of the City Manager."

Approval Authority over "all other positions" is reserved to the
City Manager.52 It is somewhat illogical to believe that the
drafters contemplated a Mayor/Council Department where they would
have had to succumb to the City Manager's discretion for the
approval of their own Council Staff. Please note that we
prefaced this Opinion with a recognition that the Charter
drafter's probably had not contemplated Council Staff--a failing
which is not fatal to the long term viability of the document.
This has to be simply recognized as an anomaly that the city
Manager will have to approve or reject the Council's appointment
of their proposed Council Staff.
10. The Position Allocation Power--Who has the Power to Assiqn a
Created Position to a DeDartment?
Even if a Department of Mayor and Council ("Council
Department") gets created, how does the Charter distribute the
power to allocate a created position to the "Council Department"?
Specifically, even if the Council were to create Alter Ego
Council Staff, if the Manager--not the Council--has the power to
allocate such positions to a department, the Manager could
theoretically obstruct and redistribute the collateral
Appointment Power from the Council to the Department to which the
position is assigned.
The Charter contradicts itself as to which Office--the
Manager or the Council--has the power to allocate created
positions to Departments.
In support of this power residing in the City Council, we
note that Section 507 recognizes that employees are to be
provided bv the city Council for a department or office53.
52. section 507, Department Heads; Appointment Powers, in
pertinent part, provides:
" Each department head 'and appointive officer shall have
the power to appoint and remove such deputies, assistants,
subordinates and employees as are provided for by the City
Council for their department or office, . . ., and sub;ect
to Drior aDDroval of the City Manaqer."
53. Section 507, DeDartment Heads: ADDointment Powers, provides:
Each department head and appointive officer shall have the
power to appoint and remove such deputies, assistants,
subordinates and emDlovees as are Drovided for bv the City
(continued. . . )

section 505 provides that the city Council may assign additional
functions or duties to an office or department of the city. 54
Section 501 gives them the power to assign general functions to
such added departments. 55
In support of the case that the position Allocation Function
resides in the city Manager, we note that the second paragraph of
section 501, set forth above, makes the Manager responsible for
the "organizational structure of all departments subject" to his
direction, and shall "provide staff for the departments for
which" he is responsible.
This discussion, hopefully unlike the rest of the opinion,
is more theoretical than practical. Once the Council creates
Alter Ego Council Staff and the City Council Department, it is an
academic exercise to worry about who, between the City Manager
and the City Council, has the power to assign them to the city
Council Department. Remember, as Alter Ego Council Staff, these
are people that can only do the non-administrative bidding of the
Councilperson. It would strain logic to suggest that whichever
Office had the power, they would not assign them to the City
Council Department.
Having said that, we can only reconcile the parts of the
Charter by saying that the Council has the power to allocate an
administrative position, such as an Administrative Council Staff,
to the city Manager's Office, who shall thereafter redistribute
and reallocate that position to such a place in the organiza-
tional structure as he deems appropriate. As to departments not
assigned to the city Manager's Office, such as in the case of a
53. (.. . continued)
Council for their department or office, subject to the civil
service provisions, or as provided by ordinance of the Council as
authorized by section 500(a) of this Charter, and subject to
prior approval of the City Manager. (emphasis added)
54. section 505, Duties of Officers and Emplovees, provides:
" The City Council, by ordinance, may assign additional
functions or duties to offices, departments or agencies
established by this Charter, but may not discontinue or
assign to any other office, department or agency any
function or duty assigned by this Charter to a particular
office, department or agency."

"to-be-formed" Mayor/Council Department, the Council retains full
authority to assign the Alter Ego Council staff to the Council
Department.
11. Who will have "suDervisorial authoritv" over Council Staff?
Conclusion:
the Mayor will have the authority to
supervise "Alter Ego" Council Staff. The
Manager, or his designee will have the
authority to supervise "Administrative"
Council Staff.
The Mayor has the powers of all other Councilmembers, but is
given certain additional powers which include, for example: the
power to issue state of the city reports, the power to the
official head of the city for ceremonial purposes, the power to
take command of the police during time of public danger or
emergency with the consent of the Council, to represent the City
regionally, among others.
Section 304 (b) (6) sets forth specifically that the Mayor
was intended to be the Supervisor of all personnel assigned to
the Mayor/Council Office:
"(6) to supervise the operation of the Mayor/Council office
and personnel assigned thereto."
It is therefore my opinion that the Mayor would be the
supervisor of Alter Ego Council Staff.
If, on the otherhand, the Council Staff are Administrative
Council Staff, the City Manager, or his department head, would
have supervisorial control over the Council Staff.
12. What duties mav be assiqned to Council Staff?
12.1. Administrative Duties Restriction.
An Alter Ego Council Staff may not perform, individually or
on behalf of his designated Councilperson, "administrative
functions" and may not interfere with the city Manager in his
performance of "administrative functions".
For the distinguishing features of administrative functions
versus alter ego discussions, see section 4.2 above.
12.2. Official Acts.
The Residual Jurisdiction provision of the Charter specifies
that all powers not otherwise distributed are vested in the
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 28
Council. 56 The People are entitled to the individual service
and discretion of the Councilperson. We believe that the Charter
would not tolerate a delegation of such official authority to any
person, including Council Staff.
As such, Council Staff would not be able to sign official
documents on behalf of a Councilmember. They would not be able
to participate in Council deliberations in lieu of their
designated Councilperson. Of course, they would not be able to
vote on their behalf.
12.3. Political Activities.
The Council Staff should be specially cautioned that the
prohibition against Political Activities would limit the duties
assigned to the Council Staff. 57
12.4. Financial Conflicts of their Assigned Council.
Both the Fair Political Practices Act and our own
prohibition against illegal contracts prohibits the Councilmember
from "direct" or "indirect" participation in conflicting
56. Section 201, cited above.
57. Section 707, Improper Political Activitv, which operates as
a proscription on the activities of Councilmembers, would also
operate with regard to Alter Ego Council Staff. It provides, in
pertinent part:
" No elective or appointive officer or employee of the
City of Chula Vista, whether employed in the Classified or
Unclassified Service, shall:
(a) Directly or indirectly use, promise, threaten or
attempt to use any official influence in the aid of any
partisan political activity, or to affect the result of any
election to partisan or political office or upon any other
corrupt condition or consideration;
(b) Solicit or coerce from any other officer or
employee of the City of Chula Vista, any political
assessment, subscription or contribution;
(c) Use any office or position with the City in any
activity in support or opposition to any person running for
the City of Chula Vista Councilor Mayor.

transactions. The Council Staff may not participate in any
transaction for their assigned Councilperson from which their
assigned Councilperson would be precluded.
13. Should YOU have Council Staff--CollaterallY Leaal Precau-
tionary Warninas?
This is a policy choice that involves many other considera-
tions than mere legality, although as outlined herein, there are
some significant legal constraints on your choices.
As part of a team of general policy advisors, this Office
feels obligated that you be advised on all cOllaterally-legal
concerns and on such other policy aspects as it sees with regard
to this matter not otherwise presented.
I recognize that I am treading into an area of policy advice
for which I was not retained. I do so somewhat regrettably
knowing that this is a matter containing a significant emotional
charge. I feel that the points raised in this section need to be
considered by the Council.
Therefore, I will summarily present them without further
policy elaboration. Keep in mind that they do not operate as a
legal constraint on your authority to act, and may, of course, be
summarily ignored.
(1) Consider a Charter Amendment to Chanae the Form of
Government.
A shift in the distribution of power sanctioned by the
Charter should be accomplished by review and approval of the
People of the city. If any Councilperson believes that they will
create the position of Council Staff, or permit their use, in the
performance of administrative activities, this would represent a
redistribution of the power contemplated by the Charter and the
matter should be reviewed by the Charter Review Committee,
reviewed by the Council, and then referred to the People for
vote.
(2) The Consumption of Time is the Price of Elective
Service.
The concept of "Council Staff" exists as a time-saving
alternative for Councilpersons. It recognizably facilitates
otherwise "busy" people to responsibly hold office. As such it
will serve to bring into public service those which, due to their
schedule, may otherwise be effectively precluded from office.
In making your decision, consider the argument that a Coun-
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 30
cilperson is elected to the Office on the premise that the People
would have the benefit of his or her individual inquiry, analy-
sis, research, meeting attendances, etc., as may be required by
the Office, not other persons chosen by the Councilperson.
In short, the Council Staff position should not be viewed as a
time-saving substitute for "putting in the time" required by the
Office.
(3) The Potential for Abuse is Created.
Once the bureaucracy is created, it will probably be irre-
versible, even after all of us are "long gone".
Council Staff creates the potential for long term abuse and
possible appearance of future impropriety--not necessarily by any
of the current Council, but by future office holders. It may
inadvertently involve them in matters which may have legal and
office-related consequences.
For example, if assigned Council Staff performs adminis-
trative acts, the issue will be raised as to whether it was on
behalf or at the direction of the Assigned Councilperson. If
directed, it may result in loss of office. If the act was
unauthorized, it will merely give the appearance of impropriety.
If the assigned Council Staff performs political activity,
the issue will be raised as to whether it was on behalf or at the
direction of the assigned Councilperson. If directed, it may
result in sanctions. If the act was unauthorized, it will merely
give the appearance of impropriety.
If the Council Staff participates in governmental decisions
in which the Assigned Councilperson may have a financial conflict
of interest, the issue will be raised as to whether it was on
behalf or at the direction of the Assigned Councilperson. If
directed, it may result in sanctions. If the act was unauthor-
ized, it will merely give the appearance of impropriety.
In sum, a Councilperson may be entrusting their public
service career, in part, to the judgment of their Council Staff.
(5) Council Staff may oDerate to distance YOU from
Administration.
The existence of a "middleman" or "middlewoman" may operate
to separate the city Manager's Office from the Elective Office.
Messages may be sent back and forth via council Staff courier.
Not only may the message be misconveyed, but the tone, inflec-
tion, body language, and all other "non-speech" forms of com-
munication that you may otherwise get through personal contact
staff4.wp
September 15, 1991
Memo re Council Staff
Page 31
will be lost. Furthermore, a new personality, not possessing the
"official" status of the Councilperson, will be injected into the
communication process which may further distort the message.
Conclusion.
In this vein, we caution you that, while creating council
Staff can be accomplished within the framework of the Charter,
creating and filling Council Staff positions should be given
serious consideration by the council, and simply because it may
be legal, may not otherwise be advisable.
