explained by Coalition Members.
Bob Santos of EastLake Development Company and Will Hyde of
Crossroads distributed a membership roster of the Coalition. Mr.
Santos presented an overview of the process proposed and explained
the meetings already held by the members, the issue or topics
addressed and the method of having an alternate chairman for each
meeting to assure the meeting's productivity and input from all
members. Resources utilized to develop the thresholds were
obtained from City of Chula Vista Department Heads, Chula Vista
Schools and the Otay Water District. Mr. Hyde addressed the
members' cooperation, harmony and the unanimity or consensus on all
items in the document. It is the intent of the Growth Management
Oversight Committee to focus attention on the problem of growth
management at least annually to facilitate communications by all
parties. Mr. Hyde expressed his hope that the City Council will
adopt this proposal and begin the process in January 1988.
