Canyon Road, A General Partnership)
City Council Minutes - 2 - July 23, 1985
"660 Telegraph Canyon Road", A General Partnership requested an
appeal of the denial of their deferral request explaining this
increase puts an undue hardship on them and raises a question as
to whether the project can be completed at all.
Staff recommendation was that this appeal be scheduled at one of
Council's August meetings.
b. CONCERN REGARDING THE CHULA VISTA ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
ASSESSMENT PROJECT (Diane Takvorian, Environmental Health
Coalition)
The Environmental Health Coalition (EHC) examined the various
issues related to hazardous waste and toxic materials concerning
Chula Vista residents and developed a scope of work for such a
project in conjunction with San Diego State University Graduate
School of Public Health and University of California San Diego
Medical School. Staff indicated general satisfaction with the
proposal; however EHC was notified that the City would be issuing
a request for proposals for the project. In early March, EHC was
notified their proposal was selected and told they could expect
approval by April 1. Now, the City understands that the
Redevelopment Agency has requested that the County take over the
project by either conducting the study or funding one.
The City Manager recommended this letter be referred to the next
Redevelopment Agency Meeting (August 1, 1985) as staff expects to
have a report on this subject at that meeting.
c. RESIGNATION FROM HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION EFFECTIVE
AUGUST 1, 1985 (Ollie Braden)
Ollie Braden submitted her resignation from the Human Relations
Commission effective August 1, 1985. She has recently been
elected to the managership of another organization and this has
created a time conflict.
The City Manager recommended that the resignation be accepted with
regret and that a letter of appreciation for service be sent to
Mrs. Braden.
d. RESIGNATION FROM NAVY HOUSING TASK FORCE (Mike Cruz)
Mike Cruz submitted his resignation as an official member of the

regret and that a letter of appreciation for service be sent to
Mr. Cruz.
City Council Minutes 3 July 23, 1985

COURT, BONITA (C. Wesley Martin)
Mr. Martin expressed concern regarding the potential fire hazard
of the vacant City property adjoining his home located at
451 Westmont Court, Bonita.
The City Manager indicated in his recommendation that the Parks
and Recreation staff have talked to Mr. Martin regarding his
concern about dry brush in the open space district between his
home on Westmont Court and Otay Lakes Road. It has been explained
to him that it is not practical to clear all the brush in the area
but that the contractor working for the City will clear 20 feet
adjacent to his house.
It was recommended this letter be acknowledged and this
information formally passed on to Mr. Martin.

5. RESOLUTION 12103 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AND ALTA CONSULTING SERVICES, INC. TO
PERFORM COMMUNICATION CENTER STUDY
(Director of Public Safety)
The current Police Communications Center equipment was purchased
and installed in 1971. In 1977, an additional console position
for Fire Dispatch was added. Maintenance of the Communications
Center has become very difficult due to the age of the equipment
and difficulty in obtaining replacement parts. Staff's goal is to
install a new public safety communications center and also
consider computer-aided dispatching and other equipment that would
result in a more effective operation. Staff recommended the
hiring of Alta Consulting Services to assist in this project.
Price ranges for the major items in the proposed system are:
Four Position Consoles $88,000 $100,000
Construction of new
Communications Center 70,000 170,000
Radio Equipment 20,000 30,000
Computer for CAD System 280,000 350,000
Mobile CAD Terminals 18,750 300,000
$476,750 $950,000
City Council Minutes 4 July 23, 1985
$55,000 has been budgeted in 1030-5201 for Fiscal Year 85/86 and
~15,000 was budgeted in the 84/85 C.I.P budget.
6. RESOLUTION 12104 APPROVING FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AND THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT
FOR POLICE PROTECTION SERVICES ON PORT
DISTRICT PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA (Director of Public Safety)
The intent of this agreement was to extend it on a year-to-year
basis and the annual payment would be renegotiated each year. The
first year agreement terminated June 30, 1985 and a new agreement
has been prepared which will commence July 1, 1985 and terminate
June 30, 1986. The annual payment will be $66,500 (7.25%
increase) to be paid in quarterly increments commencing October 1,
1985.
7. RESOLUTION 12105 EXTENDING CONTRACT FOR THE CITY'S ANNUAL
REQUIREMENT OF LIBRARY BOOKS (Director of
Finance)
On June 23, 1981, City Council approved the cooperative bid with
the City of San Diego for the City of Chula Vista's requirements
for library books. The contract was awarded to Baker and Taylor
Company.
The recommendation is that Council extend this contract to cover
the period July 1, 1985 through June 30, 1986.
It was estimated that $75,000 will be expended in FY 1985-86.
Funds have been budgeted in the Library Department.
8. RESOLUTION 12106 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF
FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST INDENTURE
RELATING TO VARIABLE RATE COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BONDS (SOUTH BAY
AMBULATORY SURGERY ASSOCIATES PROJECT),
1984 SERIES A (Community Development
Director)
The financing for the Surgi-Center was closed last December
without having obtained a rating from one of the New York rating
agencies. The rating agencies have been asked to rate the bonds
so they can be sold publicly. The agencies require certain
provisions which were not originally part of the financing
documentation. Council was requested to approve certain changes
in the indenture agreement. This information has been reviewed by
the City's bond counsel, Jones Hall Hill and White, and found to
be acceptable from the City's standpoint. The changes are
technical in nature and do not substantially change any of the
approved documents.
City Council Minutes - 5 - July 23, 1985
The Community Development Director recommended that the Council
adopt the resolution approving the first supplemental trust
indenture by and between the City of Chula Vista and the Golden
State Sanwa Bank relative to the South Bay Ambulatory Surgery
Associates project.
Councilman Scott voted "no" on Item No. 8.
9a. RESOLUTION 12107 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SAN DIEGO
GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR THE PURPOSE
PROVIDING A DEPOSIT FOR THE EXTENSION OF
A NATURAL GAS LINE EASTERLY ALONG OTAY
VALLEY ROAD AND NORTHERLY ALONG MAXWELL
ROAD WITHIN THE OTAY VALLEY ROAD
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA (CommUnity
Development Director)
b. RESOLUTION 12108 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH SAN DIEGO GAS
AND ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR THE PURPOSE OF
UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES ALONG MAXWELL
ROAD AND DESIGN COURT WITHIN THE
OTAY VALLEY ROAD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
AREA
At the meeting of March 19, 1985, the City Council approved a
contract with San Diego Gas and Electric Company for the extension
of a gas line along Otay Valley Road and Maxwell Road to service
new subdivisions in that vicinity. The Council approved the
payment of $35,000 to SDG&E as a deposit for the extension of the
line with the understanding that, as new users tied into the line
and paid deposits, the City would be reimbursed. Recently,
development plans for approximately 17 acres adjacent to Maxwell
Road have changed and no longer require the extension of gas
service. As a result, SDG&E has requested that the City approve a
revised agreement which reduces the amount of gas line to be
installed and reimburses $5,484 to the City.
SDG&E also requested approval of a revised contract for the
undergrounding of utility lines along Maxwell Road due to changes
in the design of the project. There are no changes in the project
cost.
The City also previously entered into a contract for the
undergrounding of utility lines along Maxwell Road for ~95,330.
There is no change in this contract amount.
12. RESOLUTION 12109 ACCEPTING GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM W. A.
AND L. M. BIENHOFF AT 550-580 MOSS STREET
(Director of Public Works/City Engineer)
City Council Minutes - 6 - July 23, 1985
As a requirement of the development of their property at
550-580 Moss Street, the owners have dedicated an easement, 20
feet in width, to accommodate the future Telegraph Canyon Channel
to be constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers.
13. RESOLUTION 12110 ACCEPTING SEWER, DRAINAGE, ACCESS, STREET
TREE, STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY AND SIDEWALK
EASEMENTS IN PALOMAR VILLAGE COMMERCIAL
COMPLEX (Director of Public Works/City

deeds for these easements have been executed by the owner and are
now ready for acceptance by the Council.
14. RESOLUTION 12111 AUTHORIZING ADJUSTMENT TO THE FY 1983-84
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT (TDA)
ARTICLE 4.5 CLAIM (Director of Public
Works/City Engineer)
The FY 1983-84 TDA Article 4.5 claim submitted by Chula Vista for
the operation of HandYtrans was in the amount of $185,648. This
claim was based on the estimated cost for HandYtrans operation
during FY 1983-84. The actual cost of HandYtrans operation for FY
1983-84 was $11,388 less than the original claim estimate, because
of lower operating cost and higher revenues than estimated.
The $11,388 will be returned to the Local Transportation Reserve
fund and will be carried over to subsequent fiscal years to
supplement future Article 4.5 funds.
15. REPORT ADVERTISING ON BUSES (Director of Public
Works/City Engineer)
At its meeting on October 9, 1984, Council accepted a staff report
recommending to SCOOT Board that the Board terminate its
advertising agreement with TDI/Winston Network effective
January 1, 1985 and exterior advertising not be placed on the new
Orion buses. Council also directed Transit staff to return with a
report and recommendations concerning exterior advertising on the
new buses in July 1985. The Transit Coordinator recommended that
advertising not be placed on the new buses due to aesthetic
considerations and the relatively small amount of advertising
revenue that can be expected from placing advertising on the buses.
18. RESOLUTION 12112 ADOPTING POLICY ON EXPENDITURE OF
OFFICIAL RECEPTIONS MONIES FOR
INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP COMMISSION
(Assistant City Manager)
City Council Minutes 7 July 23, 1985
During review of the FY 1985-86 budget, the Council directed that
prior to expenditure of Official Receptions funds by the
International Friendship Commission, a policy guiding the
expenditure of those funds be approved by Council. The policy
would limit expenditures by the International Friendship
Commission to visitors from Chula Vista's Sister Cities and would
not (with the exception of two receptions per year for foreign
students) permit expenditures for visitors from other than Sister
Cities unless specifically approved by the City Council. The
International Friendship Commission, at their June 26, 1985
meeting developed the breakdown of expenditures for the 1985-86
budget. These expenditures would be in keeping with the proposed
policy.
Approval of this policy will guide the expenditure of
approximately $1,000, as budgeted in the FY 1985-86 budget and
future budgets for the International Friendship Commission.
20. ORDINANCE 2123 AMENDING SECTION 19.58.147D OF THE
CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE TO REQUIRE A
1,200 FOOT SEPARATION BETWEEN LARGE
FAMILY DAY CARE HOMES ON THE SAME STREET
- SECOND READING AND ADOPTION (Director
of Planning)
This ordinance was placed on first reading at the meeting of
July 16, 1985.
The ordinance amends Section 19.50.147D. of the Municipal Code to
read as follows:
"D. A large family day care home shall not locate within 1,200
feet of another such facility on the same street as measured
from the exterior boundaries of the property."
21. EMERGENCY AMENDING THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL
ORDINANCE 2124 CODE TO PROHIBIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF GUEST
HOUSES WITHIN THE CITY - FIRST READING
AND ADOPTION
At the July 16, 1985 meeting, Council directed the City Attorney's
office to prepare an emergency ordinance prohibiting the
construction of "guest houses".
The proposed emergency ordinance will prohibit the construction of
guest houses after July 23, 1985. This ordinance will create
legal nonconforming uses of those guest houses already in
existence.
City Council Minutes - 8 - July 23, 1985
22. REPORT REQUEST FOR APPROVED USE OF RESIDENT-ONLY
STREET PARKING PERMITS FOR HOMEOWNERS ON
THE WEST SIDE OF XAVIER AVENUE (Robert C.
Muff) (Director of Public Works/City
Engineer)
The west side of Xavier Avenue between Elmhurst Street and
Gotham Street and the north side of Gotham Street between
Xavier Avenue and Otay Lakes Road have one hour parking
restrictions from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. On September 11, 1984,
Mr. Muff received a parking citation for parking in front of his
home in excess of one-hour limit. He requested that resident-only
parking permits be issued so that residents along this street can
park in excess of the one-hour limitation.
Staff reviewed Mr. Muff's request as well as parking needs in this
residential are~ and findings indicate that the existing City Code
· contains no provisions for issuing parking stickers to residents
in one-hour parking zones; there does not appear to be a
student-related parking problem in the area; and the original
purpose for the one-hour time limit no longer exists.
Based on these findings, staff recommended the existing parking
restrictions be removed.
23. REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL TASK FORCE
This report prepared by individual members of the Task Force, as
well as the Task Force as a whole, offers 21 specific
recommendations which should be evaluated by staff in order to
suggest a follow up option for these recommendations. The Task
Force recommended it be continued as a "semi-permanent body
utilizing local residents and businessmen as voting members."
The City Manager suggested the recommendations of the Task Force
be referred to staff for comments and proposals or options to
implement all or part of the Task Force's recommendation within a
period of 90 days.
Councilmembers concurred that this item be scheduled for a
Council Conference after staff review.
End of Consent Calendar
23. REPORT GOLF COURSE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
This item was deleted from the Agenda and will be docketed as a
Council Conference item.
City Council Minutes - 9 - July 23, 1985
10. RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH JONES HALL
HILL AND WHITE FOR BOND COUNSEL SERVICES
(Community Development Director)
At the direction of Council and the Redevelopment Agency, a search
was conducted for bond counsel services for both the Agency and
the City. A question arose as to whether the City/Agency could
obtain better, more efficient service through a local, San Diego
region legal firm rather than utilizing the services of Jones Hall
Hill and White in San Francisco as has been done in the past.
Based on this request and with City/Agency concurrence, a request
for proposals was solicited to known bond counsel firms throughout
the State.
Jones Hall Hill and White offered the most favorable proposal due
to requiring fees for consultation in issues that are not
consummated.
The Community Development Director recommended the City enter into
an agreement with the law firm of Jones Hall Hill and White based
upon a comparison of fees and availability of personnel. The
contract may be cancelled by either party with 30 days' notice.
MSUC (Cox/Scott) to continue this item for two weeks.
Mayor Cox commented that it was continued for two weeks as there
is the possibility of some San Diego firms not having had an
opportunity to bid.
11. RESOLUTION 2113 APPROVING A MINORITY BUSINESS
ENTERPRISE/WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
SECTION 3 PLAN FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT FUNDED PROJECTS (CommUnity
Development Director
The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
requires cities that receive Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds to take affirmative steps to assure that local,
minority and women-owned businesses are utilized, whenever
possible, for procurement activities, including construction
contracting.
During a recent compliance review by a representative from HUD'S
Region IX Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FH&EO),
the City was found to be in nonconformance with the HUD
requirement stated above. The HUD-recommended method of complying
with this requirement is by developing a Minority Business
Enterprise (MBE) Women Business Enterprise (WBE)/Section 3 (small
and local business) Plan, which describes the steps the City and
contractors will take to utilize these types of businesses.
City Council Minutes - 10 - July 23, 1985
Based on the results of polling, staff recommended the City adopt
MBE/WBE goals of 15% and 1% respectively.
MS (McCandliss/Malcolm) to continue this item for two weeks (for
more information to be brought back to Council).
Councilwoman McCandliss commented she would like additional
information on agencies which have these standards and how the
percentages are broken down into the two different categories.
She requested information regarding the County's 15% overall
broken down into two different components; San Diego City staff
accomplishment; MTDB goals and what their achievement is.
Mayor Cox expressed concern with setting quotas. Councilman Scott
concurred with Mayor Cox stating the City has been fortunate in
the tremendous job of hiring people on their ability and he felt
no quotas are needed and would like to see a more general
statement policy.
The motion carried with Councilman Scott voting "no".
16. RESOLUTION 12114 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA AND WILLIAM HARSHMAN,
SEWERAGE CONSULTANT, FOR THE PERFORMANCE
OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT
(Director of Public Works/City Engineer)
The 1985-86 Sewer Service budget provides for professional
services relative to (primarily) interagency sewerage negotiations
and agreements. This authorization reiterates and fiscally
implements that budget provision.
Staff has proposed that Mr. William Harshman be retained to
perform such professional services because of his detailed
knowledge and extensive experience in local interagency sewerage
relationships.
Councilman Moore discussed the way the policy is written and that
he did not think the City should have any contract for "general"
tasks but for "specific" tasks only stating he could not support
this policy as written.
Councilman Scott commented on his disapproval of the City policy
of employees retiring and then being hired back as consultants
stating he did not think this is cost-effective. He objected to
paying retirement and consultant fees for the same individual.
However, he stated he has great respect for Mr. Harshman's work
and integrity.
City Council Minutes - 11 - July 23, 1985
Mayor Cox spoke in support of the resolution stating the
individual involved has developed most of the sewer systems in the
City and hiring someone else would be more costly. The City will
be contracting for other engineering services for EastLake and
other projects in the City and is concerned that the plans be
"turned around" in a reasonable amount of time.
Councilwoman McCandliss declared the City needs a "tight control"
with performance schedules. She noted the City would lose if
going out on competitive bid due to the extraordinary ability and
experience of the individual. However, she cautioned that the
City should be prudent in hiring employees on a contractual
basis.
Councilman Malcolm indicated the City would have to spend twice as
much to bring someone else in who would not have Mr. Harshman's
knowledge of the sewer system. He stated that Council needs to be
supportive of staff recommendations.
City Manager Goss commented there is no established policy of
asking people to come back (after retirement). He said the
ability to come back and work for the City did not affect the
employees decision for timing and perhaps the City encouraged the
former employee to do it. He reminded Council this item was
included in the budget and the general areas the City Metro
sewer matters and working with the people involved in the eastern
sector of the Sphere of Influence. Mr. Goss noted that
Mr. Harshman is a "sole source" in reviewing the whole
relationship with Metro sewers since the early 1960's.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved with
Councilman Moore voting "no".
Councilman Moore commented that he did not vote against the
individual but against the way the contract was written.
MS (McCandliss/Cox) for staff to provide Council with a
performance schedule as it is developed.
The motion died for a lack of a second.
17. RESOLUTION 12115 AUTHORIZING THE CITY ENGINEER TO ENTER
INTO CONTRACT WITH CIVIL ENGINEERING
CONSULTANTS FOR REVIEW OF VARIOUS PLANS
AND MAPS (Director of Public Works/City
Engineer)
In conjunction with the review and consideration by Council of the
City's report on Land Development Processing, it was proposed that
during overload periods, the review of plans and maps be
accomplished by consultants.
City Council Minutes - 12 - July 23, 1985
Through a combination of personnel loss and submittal of plans and
maps for several large projects along with an otherwise normal
workload, it has become apparent that an overload situation is at
hand. Staff, therefore, proposed that the City enter into an
agreement with a consultant to accommodate the expeditious review
of the materials currently submitted.
The Director of Public Works/City Engineer recommended Council
approve an agreement with Carter Associates, Inc. for the review
of plans and maps for land development projects.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was
waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
19. ORDINANCE 2122 AMENDING CHAPTER 8.20 OF THE MUNICIPAL
CODE BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 8.20.025
REGULATING VENDING VEHICLES NEAR
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FACILITIES - First
Reading (Assistant City Attorney)
At its meeting of July 16, 1985, the City Council referred
Ordinance 2122 to the City Attorney's office for revisions of the
proposed language prior to its adoption. The Council requested
that the proposed language be amended to limit the prohibition to
elementary schools. In addition, the Council generally discussed
whether or not the proposed ordinance (as amended) would apply to
public and private schools. The Council requested the City
Attorney's office provide a report relating to this matter and to
contact the Sweetwater Union High School District regarding the
"designation" of spaces for the use of vending vehicles.
This ordinance would prohibit vending vehicles from stopping or
parking within 500 feet of any elementary school property between
7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on regular days.
The ordinance limits its application to public streets. A vending
vehicle operating with the consent of the owner on private
property would not be prohibited from selling its merchandise
pursuant to Ordinance 2122.
City Attorney Harron noted a response was received from the High
School District stating they would appreciate the same treatment
as the elementary school district.
MSUC (Cox/Malcolm) to place the ordinance on first reading, the
reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent passed and
approved unanimously.
MSUC (Scott/Cox) to bring back a similar ordinance at a later
meeting for the High School District.
City Council Minutes - 13 July 23, 1985
Mayor Cox pointed out the number one concern and priority of
Council is traffic safety. The Elementary or High School
District, irrespective of this ordinance, has the ability to
invite vending machines on their property if they want to give
them a parking space off the public streets to sell ice cream.
The ordinance being approved deals with traffic safety.
24. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER

Councilman Scott expressed concern regarding the scheduled
8 a.m. time for this meeting which is inconvenient for him
(stockbroker).
Councilman Malcolm requested seeing the annual accounting for

collection basis; whether applied to elementary or high
school districts; the difference between attached and
detached housing; and the State legislation.

a. Councilman Malcolm questioned Item No. 11 (minority business
enterprises) regarding the options of filing the resolution.
Community Development Director Desrochers explained the HUD
guidelines must be followed and City Manager Goss noted that
if the guidelines are not adhered to the funds could be
jeopardized.
Councilmembers expressed their concern of bringing back a
policy statement regarding possible HUD actions; Council's
lack of desire to set up quotas; definition of a quota
system; need to establish certain practices in order to reach
the 15%; the purpose in continuing this item for two weeks to
establish a significant policy statement; the recommendation
that the City keep records of contracts given out; and the
willingness to file the resolution and wait for the next

Boards and Commissions. Mayor Cox indicated the Council
Secretary would poll the Council for a Saturday meeting in

Committee suggested medallions which can be used as gifts to
be given out by the City.
k. Councilman Moore commented on a request from his church group

fireworks and a possible new location for the program.
The Council adjourned to Closed Session at 8:40 p.m. The
City Clerk was excused. City Manager Goss reported the meeting
