REPORT Affirming Trial Traffic Regulation #138 - Increased Speed Limits in Certain Zones - 600 Block of Naples Street Frank Rivera presented staff's report. Commissioner Liken asked if the elementary ochool had any comments on the increased speed limit. Frank Rivera said the !Chool principal had been notified eight months ago before the trial traffic regulation was installed and he was no.t heard from. Commissioner Miller had received a call from the principal of Harbors ide a few months back and he was concerned about the speed on Naples Street. The principal had indicated that speed was a problem and he wanted to address the Commission about installing speed humps in the area. She said when the original request was submitted, Broadway was being re-surfaced and that caused many problems. She asked staff if they had informed the principal that the item was ocheduled for the Safety Commission meeting. Frank Rivera said he believed that the principal had been informed but he could not be sure. . Commissioner Miller said motorists were supposed to decrease speed when children were present, but the principal said that was not happening. MSUC (SmithlPitts) to recommend to the City Council that Council pass an ordinance affirming the trial traffic regulation and make the speed limit permanent. 9. REPORT on request for time limited parking 500 block of Del Mar Avenue and 200 blocks of Shasta Street and Whitney Avenue Frank Rivera presented staff's report. Chair Thomas asked staff if they verified that Sharp Reese Staaly (SRS) had met conditions of their Condition Use Permit (CUP). Frank Rivera responded that the conditions of the CUP had been met. Commissioner Smith said as he viewed the random counts of on-lite parking spaces for SRS, there were always parking spaces available throughout the day. He uked how many spaces were occupied by employees versus patients. Frank Rivera said it was difficult to distinguish. After July 1994. the employees were given permits for parking; however, before July 1, there was no way to distinguish the carl. Since there were lpaces available through the day, staf'f concluded that it was not only SRS employees impacting the surrounding streets, but other bUline...s as well. Commissioner Smith felt that SRS was being lingled out and it could be the courthouse that was also . caUling problems. Carmen Ana., Site MancJller, Sharp Reele Steoly, 626 Third Auenue, Chul4 Vida, CA 91910, said she was neutral on the two hour parking limits. SRS encouraged employees to park on H Street (,'/ UNOFFICIAL MINUTES . . tit COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM TITLE: Item ~ 7 Meeting Date t1:lit1-f94.... 101 )~I '1~ LIC HEARING: (A) PCZ-91-D - Consideration of prezoning 14.23 acrc:A< ated north of the terminus of Moonview Drive from RR-l :&~lffity) to -P (8.37 acres) and RE-40 (5 86 acres) - Michael Demich tf}~ \>I ORDINANCE .2 ~ ~r?c,rdinance of the City of Chula Vista City Council <;)\;;2-0. prezoning 14.23 acres of land located north of the terminus of Moonview ~~\>I Drive to RE-P (8.37 Acres) and RE-40 (5 86 Acres) O~<;) ~<vO PUBLIC HEARING' (B) PCS-91-02 - Consideration of tentative bdivision map for Bonita Hills Executive Estates, Chula Vista Tract P -91-02 - Michael Demich RESOI.: TION /7('a ~Zolution of the City of Chula Vista City Council approving "~Tentative Subdivision Map for Bonita Hills Executive Estates, Chu Vista T. ract PCS 91-02, making the necessary findings and adopting the itigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring Program for IS-91-15 SUBMITTED BY: Director of Plann~ng /~-t: REVIEWED BY: City Manager....Yt ~::z}{l J (4/5ths Vote: Yes_NoXl 1 This item involves a prezone of 14.23 acres to the City's RE- P (Residential Estates- Precise Plan) and RE-40 (Residential Estates-40,OOO square foot minimum lot size) zones, and the subdivision of 8.37 acres of the 14.23 acres into 12 residential and 2 open space lots.

The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The properties to the north, east and west are in the County of San Diego and designated Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac), Residential I and Residential 5, respectively, on the Sweetwater Community Plan. The property to the south (Terra Nova) is in the City of Chula Vista and is designated Residential-Low Medium (3-6 du/ac) on the City's General Plan. 3 Existing site characteristics. The 8 37 acre tentative map parcel slopes to the west with an average natural slope of 15 % and a maximum natural slope of 40% The southern end of the property features a north-facing slope with disturbed vegetation which gradually drops into a drainage course with sage scrub The terrain rises again to the north onto a barren ridge line, before dropping steeply into Bonita Valley The 5.86 acre Sweetwater parcels are bounded on the west by the tentative map parcel, to the north by a single family residence, to the south by a parcel containing a water tank and another vacant parcel, and to the east by vacant land. Access is from Randy Lane off Bonita Road or from Moonview Drive through Terra Nova via East "H" Street. A pump house sits at the east central portion of the property. Drainage from the tentative map area is to the west and flows toward the center of the project. which then follows the natural drainage course westward off-site, then northward and eventually ends up in the Sweetwater River On the eastern boundary near the center of the site is a disturbed fill slope. The maximum elevation is 308 feet at the south end of the property.

Although these parcels are proposed for annexation concurrently with the tentative map area, they will not be developed because of the presence of gnatcatchers and sensitive habitat. 4 Prezone. The prezone will establish City zoning prior to annexation. The subdivision map area will be pre-zoned RE-P, Residential Estate - Precise Plan, while the Sweetwater Authority parcels will be pre-zoned to RE-40, Residential Estate - 40,000 sq ft minimum lot size. With City zoning, the project will be subject to the standards contained in Chapter 19.22, R-E - Residential Estates Zone, and any precise plan standards established under the "P" Precise Plan modifying district. Lot sizes vary in size from the smallest of 13,168 sq ft. (Lot 5) to the largest of 20,255 sq ft. (Lot 10) ""'" 5 Tentative map As noted earlier, the tentative subdivision map proposes to divide the 8 37 acres into twelve residential parcels Lots 1 to 6 will be placed on the ridge line between Open Space Lots "A" and "B," while Lots 7 to 12 will be placed along the southern portion of the project. Lots 10 to 12 will abut the present City boundary. Because of its excessive slope, Open Space Lot "A" will not be developed. Open Space Lot "B" will also not be developed as a result of a biology study carried out under the Initial Study which identified several important issues (see the Mitigated Negative Declaration for IS-91-15, Attachment "B"). Open Space Lot "B" contains the storm drain and the sewer line. The subdivision will be accessed from Moonview Drive, which is proposed to be gated. 6. Annexation. The annexation request has been submitted by the applicant and will be considered at a later date. All three parcels are conditioned to be annexed prior to approval of the Final Map. .........

Environmental Review An environmental "initial study" was required by the Environmental Review Coordinator (IS-91- 15) for this project. However, in March 25, 1993 prior to the issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, the California Gnatcatcher was listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, thus delaying the posting of the Negative Declaration. A biology study was then necessary to address the loss of Coastal Sage Scrub, which is habitat for the Gnatcatcher The biology study found that there are several California Gnatcatchers just off the subdivision property to the east and west, and that there would be a loss of 1.5 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub As mitigation for the loss of Coastal Sage Scrub, the applicant is required to re-vegetate the Sweetwater tank parcel (APN 592-171-61), irrigate the re-vegetated areas, and fence off the parcel to ensure that, to the extent possible, domesticated animals do not threaten any nesting gnatcatchers. In addition, the applicant is required to re-vegetate any disturbed areas in Open Space Lot "B" resulting from the project, and along the bank adjacent to Street "B," and any areas disturbed as a result of grading activities adjoining the subdivision. In addition, all re-vegetated areas are to be monitored for a period of five years to ensure that the native plants thrive and are capable of supporting themselves. If after five years the plants are not thriving, the Environmental Review Coordinator has the option of extending the monitoring period. 8 Coastal Sage Scrub Loss Permit. When the Coastal California Gnatcatcher was listed as threatened by the Federal Government under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act, a "special rule" was adopted pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Act which gave local governments the ability to issue permits for limited loss of Coastal Sage Habitat. Subsequently, the City of Chula Vista adopted an ordinance authorizing it to issue Interim Loss Permits in the City. The Project site includes areas of Coastal Sage Scrub habitat, and, therefore, a Coastal Sage Scrub loss permit will be necessary for development of the project. The draft findings for this loss permit are included in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The loss permit will be considered for issuance by the Director of Planning prior to issuance of a grading permit. F:\HOME\PLANNING\MARTIN\BONIT A\9102A.113 ~7-~ . Page 6, Item Meeting Date 10/11/94 /0/ 1 Analvsis 1 General Plan Conformance. The General Plan designation in the County of San Diego is Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac) The City of Chula Vista General Plan designation for the both parcels is Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac) The proposed prezoning to RE-P and RE-40 are consistent with these designations. 2. Zoning Ordinance Conformance. The current zoning, under the County of San Diego is RR-l (1 acre minimum lot size) The proposed City of Chula Vista zoning for the subdivision is RE-P (minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet) The application of the "P" modifier to this project will allow parcels of less than 20,000 sq ft., along with the retention of the permanent open spaces, provided the overall density does not exceed the maximum allowable under the RE Zone. The Sweetwater Authority site will be pre-zoned RE-40 which requires a minimum 40.000 square foot lot per dwelling This is in keeping with the existing County zoning and General Plan designation. -; 3 Grading 1 Landform Modification. The project conforms with the City's landform grading policies as specified in Sections 6.2 and 7 7 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed grading pattern conforms to the policies mentioned above 4 Circulation 1 Access. Access to the project will be from Moonview Drive to the southeast of the project, which will be gated. Access to the project from Randy Lane off Bonita Road will be provided, but will be gated and restricted to emergency access only The proposed street names for the project are: Street "A" - Moonview Drive Street "B" - Moonview Way Street "C" - Moonview Court Bonita Hills Executive Estates is proposed to be a gated community from Moonview Drive At the Planning Commission public hearing, several Commission members had concerns regarding F:\HOMEIPLANNING\MARTlN\BONIT A \9102A.l 13 , j}J~ _.~~ . . e )J/ Page 7. Item Meeting Date 10/11/94 this aspect of the project. It is staff's position that the gating proposal for this project is acceptable for the following reasons: 1) There is no through access from Moonview Drive to Bonita Road. The project is isolated and not interconnected to the overall street network. Direct access to Bonita Road from Moonview Drive via Randy Lane is prohibited, except for emergencies, and will be blocked by a crash gate, thus precluding direct access from Terra Nova to Bonita Road, even for subdivision residents. 2) The streets in the subdivision will be constructed to a private street standard and will be maintained by the homeowner's association. 3) Open Space Lots "A" and "B" and both Sweetwater Authority parcels are considered environmentally sensitive and should not be disturbed. If the subdivision is open to the public there is a higher likelihood that people will disturb these areas. 4) No trail systems connect in a north-south or east-west direction through the subdivision or to the Sweetwater Parcels so there would be no need for hiker/pedestrian access Based on discussion of these factors, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map with the gating proposal being retained. 4 Drainage. Drainage from the site will be to the west from the center of the site. Streets "A" and "C" will drain down to approximately the center of the project in Open Space Lot "B" where it will then follow the natural drainage pattern out of the subdivision. The drainage structures will not allo\\ a greater volume or velocity of water to surface drain off the site than does so at present. Several residents to the north and below (downslope of) the project on Glen Abbey Boulevard raised concerns regarding increased drainage onto their properties. Apparently, these properties are subject to flooding under existing conditions in the County. According to the applicant's engineer and the City Engineer, the development and grading of this site will actually reduce the overall amount of runoff A small amount of runoff which currently flows down the hillside will be diverted to the storm drain. In addition, the applicant is required to re-vegetate certain slopes and hillsides in the vicinity which currently drain onto Glen Abbey Boulevard. Once the re- vegetation of the hillsides and slopes is complete, there will be an overall decrease in the amount of runoff F'\HOME\PLANNING\MARTIN\BONIT A \9102A.113 ~ 7--1 Page 8, Item Meeting Date 10/11/94 1t( """" Subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing, Mr J.H. McGowan wrote to the City Council regarding the drainage from the subdivision and relating his concerns that negative impacts would occur as a result of the development of the subject parcel His concerns were responded to by the Engineering Division in a memo dated October 3, 1994 (see Exhibit E) 5. Public Services / Utilities. A sewer line serving Lots 7 to 12 in Street "c" will flow into a line in Street "B" then to Street "A." An easement running down the lot line separating Lots 4 and 5 will take the sewer line off-site to the west. Approximately 460 feet to the west, the line turns north where, after approximately 430 more feet, it will connect to Glen Abbey Boulevard. FISCAL IMPACT: Development Impact Fees, Park and Recreation fees and property taxes are applicable to this project. However, because the streets will be privately maintained, there will be no City outlay for maintaining the subdivision's streets. ATTACHMENTS.

The work to be done consists of street widening, new curb, gutter, sidewalk and miscellaneous landscaping. ITEM TITLE: SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution: 1. Appropriating $52,000 from TransNet 603 Fund, to STL-218; and 2. Appropriating $16,003.73 from unanticipated revenue from SDG&E; and 3 Accepting bids and awarding contract to the low bidder, Hammer Construction Co., in the amount of $65,241.48. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: Funds for the Sidewalk Safety Program, Fourth Avenue, East side - From 450 Ft south of Orange Avenue to Anita Street (STL-218) were included in the 1993-94 CIP budget. The project will complete the sidewalks for pedestrians between the new library and Montgomery Elementary school. Approximately, 890 feet of new sidewalks will be constructed, of which 250 feet is along the frontage of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) right-of-way (see attached Exhibit A showing the location of the project). Since SDG&E has committed to the City to put in the missing improvements along all their property frontages, staff approached them to determine their willingness to cooperate with the City and install the sidewalk along their frontage as part of our project so that all the walk would be completed. SDG&E agreed to fund their share of the improvements, however, SDG&E does not have funds for this project in their 1994 fiscal year budget. Ms. Pat Barnes, SDG&E's Government Representative, agreed in August 1994 to include it in their 1995 budget and to reimburse the City for their share in January, 1995. As an incentive to have all of the work completed now staff proposes that SDG&E pay only the actual cost of the improvements and that the City bear the cost of design and inspection. SDG&E's total prorated share is $16,003.73 based on all constructed items along their frontage. Attached is Exhibit B showing an itemized listing of SDG&E's share. Also attached as Exhibit C is a letter of commitment from SDG&E. During the FY 93-94 budget preparation, without the benefit of adequate survey data this project was estimated at $77,000, including $15,500 for design and $60,500 for construction items. When this project was presented to SANDAG for funding under the IDA State grant program, the Bicycle Facilities Committee denied funding for the construction of curb, gutter, drainage, and landscaping and limited the design cost to $5,000. The SANDAG Board of Directors approved a total allocation of $38,000 for this project. That allocation was approved in June 1993. At that time, it was too late to identify a second funding source (to cover the shortfall) for inclusion in the CIP, the project amount was changed in the CIP Budget to $38,000 without showing the additional amount required. It has been staff's intention all along to identify another funding source to finance the ineligible items that were unfunded with IDA q...; Page 2, Item~ Meeting Date 10/18/94 funds. The ineligible items (i.e. street widening, landscaping, curb and gutter, etc.) amount to $52,000 and are proposed to be fin~n"ed with Transnet funds. The increase in the cost of this project is primarily due to the lack of adequate survey data when the pre- budget estimate was prepared and staff costs. Visual inspections of the project site at that time, which is relatively flat, did not reveal the need for fill and special landscaping requirements. During the design process the survey notes revealed that the existing shoulder area sloped away from the roadway and that fill was needed to accomodate the sidewalk and avoid new draining public waters into the mobile homes lots immediately adjacent. In addition, this area was formerly developed while the area was under the County's jurisdiction and many of the adjacent mobile homes are sitting within the public right-of-way. In order to avoid major impacts to the adjacent residences due to a full width fill, the parkway section and fill was narrowed to remain outside the existing chain link fence bordering the homes. As a result, a more extensive use of special planters and design was needed in order to accomodate replacement trees to maintain the existing pattern of adjacent trees. The actual amount spent to design the project totals $27,714 ($9,656 staff costs and $18,058 full cost recovery). This is about 42 % of the construction cost of the project and appears excessive. However, it is consistent with the ratios experienced when designing a relatively small project (i.e. less than $200 ,000 in construction cost) when coupled with the unforeseen difficulties of the adjacent mobile homes being within the public right-of-way. This situation required much more staff time to work out a plan that would not impact the residents. Inelildble Items A further factor contributing to the funding shortfall is due to a number of items that are ineligible for IDA reimbursement. The installation of curb, gutter, drainage, and landscaping were ruled ineligible for reimbursement under the IDA state grant program. These items total $23,310 ($10,380 for curb & gutter; $4,830 for drainage, and $8,000 for landscaping). Initially staff believed that at least the curb and gutter should be eligible since it is necessary to build monolitic sidewalk system, included it in our funding request and did not request separate funding from other City sources. The <curb and gutter also serve to convey surface run-off to the nearest storm drain system. The landscaping included with this project was necessary to replace a row of mature eucalyptus trees adjacent to the mobile home park and located in the path of the sidewalk. These items were not included in our initial request for funding, but are necessary in order to complete the project. Enviroumental Status The City's Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that this project is categorically exempt under Class I, Section 1530 I (c) "Minor Alterations of Existing Facilities" of the California Environmental Quality Act. Bid Results This project was advertised for competitive bidding beginning July 9, 1994. During that period, plans were purchased by several contractors and on the bid opening date, bids were submitted by four contractors. The bids received are as follows: 1. 2. 3 4.

The total project cost, including all design costs and contingencies, is $106,004 ($78,289.78 + $27,714). The new improvements will require routine city maintenance amounting mainly to street sweeping. Since this street now has an asphalt berm we are currently sweeping the steet and, therefore, this is not an additional maintenance expense. The aunual sweeping cost for this quarter-mile lenght of street improvement is approximately $175. SA:AX-I30 \ Attar"hmP..nhl: Exhibit A ~ Location Map.

September 21, 1994 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Chula vista 276 Fourth Avenue Chula vista, Ca. 91910 Dear Councilmembers: The Charter Review Commission, at its September 20, 1994 meeting, voted unanimously to suggest to the City Council that the title of Mayor Pro-Tempore, rather than Vice-Mayor, be used when referring to such office. The Commission felt it was confusing to the public to use both titles and in order to be consistent with the present language in the Charter, the title of Mayor Pro-Tempore would be preferable. Very truly yours, f1.~ Chairman 10 .. / COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item~ Meeting Date 10/18/94 REVIEWED BY: Consideration of a Resident Survey on the City's Refuse, Recycling, and Yard Waste Programs Conservation coordinat~r fVlrV\ City Manager~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ Noll) REPORT: SUBMITTED BY: At the September 6, 1994 meeting the City Council discussed the issue of sending a survey to residents. The survey was to address the recent inquiries made by the public regarding the refuse, recycling and yard waste collection programs and their impact on rate payers. It was the consensus of the City Council that staff should draft a survey to be brought back for further consideration. The draft survey (Attachment A) was prepared by the Conservation Coordinator with support from the Public Information Officer The survey attempts to address the intent and spirit of public comments that have been received by the Council, Laidlaw Waste Systems (LWS) and staff. This report also includes a response to City Council comments regarding the intent, effectiveness and costs of a proposed survey RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council not request a survey at this time. As an alternative, the Conservation Coordinator will submit a refuse/recycling public education plan that will contain a comprehensive opportunity to survey rate payers. The education plan is tentatively scheduled for the agenda at the November 1, 1994 meeting. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Resource Conservation Commission will have an opportunity to comment on the public education plan at their October 10, 1994 meeting. A verbal report regarding their comments can be made to Council at the October 18, 1994 City Council meeting. DISCUSSION: The dramatic increase in costs for refuse services has initiated an increase in telephone calls from rate payers. The City has made an effort to explain that approximately 80% of the increase in costs to rate payers during the past seven years is a result of a 925% increase in landfill tipping fees charged by the County and that those increases are paid directly to the County and do not financially benefit the City or LWS. Billing inserts, public presentations, "Quarterly" newsletter, Council meeting broadcasts and telephone responses have all been used to provide that information to rate payers. Council's Reauest At the September 6, 1994 meeting City Council requested that staff draft a document '\ - \ Page 2, Item I) Meeting Date 10/18/94 that could be included in the "Quarterly" to survey rate payers preferences for potential service and rate options. City Council also agreed that the survey should provide the public with the information necessary to make an informed response. Survev Analvsis Staff considered four different survey formats: (Also compared in Attachment B.) 1) Include survey in "Chula Vista Quarterly" newsletter: A page of the newsletter could be devoted to a brief description of the yard waste/trash issue followed by several questions. Since the "Quarterly" is already printed by the City, no additional cost would be incurred. The resident would have to place the survey in an envelope and pay for return postage. Any inconvenience or cost to respondents usually brings a low response rate. An envelope and return postage could be provided at an estimated cost of $1,000 Staff does not recommend that the survey be made a part of the "Quarterly" newsletter for several reasons. These include: 1) the space available in the "Quarterly" would severely limit the survey's content and/or postpone other timely features, 2) the "Quarterly" is directly mailed to approximately 30,000 households (retail businesses, apartment renters, mobile home parks etc.) that are not part of the survey's 24,000 targeted audience (Laidlaw single-family customers) and their responses could skew the survey results; and 3) surveys using this method generally attract responses from the extreme sides of an issue and cannot be relied upon for meaningful data in program planning. Because of the lack of personal contact and the fact that responses are received only from those who choose to participate, mail surveys are considered only a moderately accurate survey technique. (See Attachment C.) 2) Send a survey flyer in the Laidlaw Waste Systems (LWS) bill: A separate flyer could be included with the LWS trash bill with a brief description of the yard waste/trash issue on one side and several questions on the other side (see Attachment A) Some additional costs would be incurred by the City to print and pay for postage. The estimated cost for preparing and delivering the survey to 24,000 residential dwelling units totals $1 ,783 for typesetting and printing ($1,000), shipping & folding ($500 estimate) and return postage ($283: 2% return @ $.59 each). If City Council desires a mail survey, this is the recommended format. More space would be available for a more comprehensive questionnaire and the response rate expected from residents would increase with the return-address and guaranteed return-postage features. However, as noted above, this survey method is considered only moderately accurate and cannot be relied upon for meaningful data in program planning. 3) Conduct telephone survey: A telephone survey addressing the yard waste/trash issue could be designed, field-tested and conducted, and the results evaluated. To develop and conduct a survey, the city would have to hire a consultant and it would take three to four months before any results are available. The survey could be designed to obtain responses from various groups including income and age levels, and geographic \ \ #d.. Page 3, Item1L- Meeting Date 10/18/94 areas of the community. Both qualitative and quantitative data can be obtained through a telephone survey, and the questions can be structured with opportunities for respondents to expand their answers. Depending on the complexity of the survey, number of questions and number of respondents, the cost of a phone survey could range from $6,000 to $10,000. Phone surveys are considered to have a moderate to high probability of accurate information. (See Attachment C ) 4) Implement the refuse/recycling public education plan: A proposed plan is being developed now and will be brought to City Council in November It takes a creative and pro-active approach to the following goals: 1) communicating existing services and options that many rate payers are unaware of, 2) communicating the environmental importance of the programs and past program successes in a manner that promotes greater participation 3) communicating the limitations imposed on the City by federal, state and county mandates and 4) involving the public in the selection of cost-effective and environmentally appropriate service and rate structure options. To meet those goals the plan will employ a recognition and reward component, an enforcement component, a special event recycling component, a volunteer component, a semi-annual newsletter, quarterly neighborhood meetings, and focus groups. The last three items are designed to provide the same data as a well designed survey, a method of accurately gauging and responding to the realistic needs and expectations of the targeted group. The plan takes three additional steps. First, it specifically targets the intended group. Second, it provides the targeted group with the specific information they need to make informed comments and choices, and third, it takes a longitudinal approach that makes the data more accurate in an environment that is subject to constantly changing conditions. Printed surveys will also be periodically included in the newsletters and used at the neighborhood meetings. The costs for this program will be included in the appropriation requested at the time the plan is submitted to City Council. The funds are available and are accrued from a $0.10 per month per household education component of monthly residential refuse/recycling rates. Conclusion: The draft survey is not being recommended at this time but is forwarded to City Council for consideration in an effort to meet Council's request and the time constraints created by including the survey in the "Quarterly" The results of an immediate mail survey will provide data based on a specific set of conditions at a specific point in time. Solid waste management in Chula Vista is a dynamic process that is changing almost daily and the conditions that dictate informed responses are likely to change before the survey is mailed. Neighborhood meetings, a newsletter and focus groups---all part of the public education program---provide an opportunity to survey public opinion on an ongoing basis under changing conditions. \\-~ Page 4, Iteml Meeting Date 10/18/94 Focus group members can be selected to accurately represent the City's demographics and the newsletter and neighborhood meetings can develop large numbers of random sampling. Together, the newsletter, neighborhood meetings and focus groups can educate respondents and develop meaningful data that will assist the City in making subtle quality of service improvements or overhauling the system. If, at the time the refuse/recycling public education program plan is submitted, City Council feels that the program has not been designed to gather the data expected from the survey, a survey can be included in a future bi-monthly refuse billing or changes to the public education program can be directed. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost for including a survey in the "Quarterly" could be up to $1,000. The cost of a separate survey also included in the next refuse billing is approximately $1,800 and the cost of a telephone survey is estimated to be between $6,000 and $10,000. Should City Council decide to include a survey with the upcoming "Quarterly", immediate action will be necessary and the funds to implement the selected survey method will need to be appropriated by minute order The costs for the refuse/recycling public education program will be included in the appropriation requested at the time the plan is submitted to City Council (tentatively November 1, 1994) The funds are available and are accrued from a $0.10 per month per household education component of monthly residential refuse/recycling rates. mtm:c survey.cc Attachments NOT SCANNED \\ ..L\ \ .

Over the past seven years the cost of collection has gone up 28% while the cost of disposal at San Diego County landfills (dumps) has gone up approximately 925 % San Diego County dump rates for a ton of trash have increased from approximately $8 per ton in 1987 to $74 per ton. All the trash produced by Chula Vista currently goes to San Diego County dumps and approximately 80% of the total increase in your bill over the past seven years is a result of San Diego County disposal rate increases. The City is looking at options to the County system but it will take about 18 months before the City can cost effectively transport trash to a less expensive landfill outside the County (Los Angeles and Orange Counties dump rates are $17 and $23 per ton). Transporting trash to a less expensive dump is not the only answer. The least expensive, and the most environmental way to control trash costs is to reduce the amount of trash we produce through source reduction techniques, recycling and composting what trash we do produce. Yard waste can be recycled and it accounts for more of the average Chula Vista. household's trash than any other single item (approximately 20%). Removing yard waste from trash is crucial to meeting state and county laws and reducing the cost of trash disposal. The" optional" part of the yard waste program was eliminated for three primary reasons: 1) more than 1,000 households surveyed in a one week period were violating the yard waste/trash ban, 2) additional households violated the intent of the program by illegally dumping yard waste throughout the City, 3) to maintain the option program the rate for those honoring the system would have to go up from $2.00 per month to approximately $16.00 per month. The current yard waste program offers the best opportunity for removing yard waste from the expensive trash system and reducing everyone's costs in the long run. -------------------------- Fold Here----------------------------- Rate payers that were not already paying $2.00 per month for yard waste collection will experience an increase of $1.85 in their monthly trash rate to cover the cost of weekly yard waste collection. This billing period also includes a decrease in your curbside recycling rate from $1.10 to $.35 per month. The rate decrease was made possible by Chula Vista residents that recycle and the decision to start recycling almost four years ago! Just as the cost for recycling has gone down, the monthly cost for yard waste is expected to go down on July I, 1995. The more we work together to recycle the less trash has to go to the dump and the lower our trash costs will be. We are also doing our best to control cost by finding more cost effective ways to collect trash and more equitable ways to distribute the costs of those services.
