20. ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION S.20.030 and 5.20.160 OF THE
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF
CARDROOMS ~ first reading
Consideration of changes recommended by card room owners to counteract
decrease in business due to bingo and card playing on Indian reservations and
to the California lottery. (Director of Public Safety)
Council noted concerns with additional police problems, law enforcement,
expanding the market of in Chula Vista, whether staff recommendation was
approached from a law enforcement standpoint and what type of increased
revenue this would generate for the City.
Director of Public Safety Winters noted that from a law enforcement standpoint
there would be no additional problems. There are no games played that are
subject to litigation.
City Manager Goss agreed that current cardrooms don't create enforcement
problems, the overall staff recommendation to amend the ordinance as it
pertains to the transferability of license and visibility was because there
was no benefit to the City to have expanded card room operations. The
increased revenue would be approximately $57,600 from the increased license
fees; the additional revenue is estimated by the staff as to what changes
would occur by way of additional tables and hours.
Speaking in support of the proposed amendment were: Thomas Davies, Broadway
Businessman's Association, 4501 Otay Valley Road, Chula Vista; Jim Batty 860
Donahue. Vegas Club Card Room, ,roadway.
a g Club Card Room; Harvey Souza, owner, Village
Card Room, 3810 Valley Vista Road, Bonita. Collectively they noted: articles
in paper saying prostitution and drugs are not allowed in cardrooms; have
never been approached with illegal activities, people gather there for fun and
comraderie; losing clients to other card rooms in Carlsbad and Oceanside
because of the time limits; increases they are asking for will help businesses
out; clientele is a good group of people; resents low life image paper
projects; eight years ago did not need state license now they need state
license and complete investigation of all assets including safety deposit
boxes; noted rent and cost of running businesses; cost approximately $60,000
to start business; loss in business because people are going to Oceanside or
to reservation because of time limits; state has OK'd the games played in
Oceanside and Carlsbad until a decision has been make; asked to let cardrooms
grow with City;
Minutes - 9 - September 5, 1989
Speaking in opposition were Don Schock, Pastor, Calvary Chapel, 853 Blackwood
Road, San Diego and Dennis Breedlove, Calvary Chapel, 4091Chanute Street, San
Diego. They noted that gambling has ruined many families; as cardrooms are
limited now, the City has kept this under control; needs to have more
attention given to the expansion issue but they need more time to research
this issue; bad example for teens; opening this up to problems for the City;
would like to know if Oceanside has had more problems; you need to look at the
whole issue; will affect Chula Vista as you bring in more types of gambling
and expand time frames; would like for the community to address this issue.
Councilman Malcolm noted he was a long time opponent of card rooms; has never
received any calls from his constituents in support of card rooms; interesting
to note that 24 hour gambling in City of Commerce has brought in $4-6 million
dollars per year in revenue; heard time limits are broken; more regulation is
needed; card rooms should pay for policing of the business; has been asked to
visit establishments and now sees a need for this; would like a 90 day
continuance to review request and meet with the owners.
MOTION
T~'~'d~/Malcolm) to continue for 90 days and have staff report back.
Councilwoman McCandliss stated that if this item is going to be continued, the
City needs to look at whether we want to expand operation and become
"partners" or keep it modest; fee should cover enforcement; does not have
fears of prostitution and drugs, these are established operations; would not
support opening on Sunday; would like better presentation from staff on
changes for game playing.
Mayor Cox noted he had the same feelings on 7 day operation as Councilwoman
McCandliss; was concerned with collection of a per hand assessment as opposed
to an hourly charge; should focus on revenue and recovery in regard to the
policing of establishments.
VOTE ON MOTION
lhe motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Cox noted that there were people in the audience wishing to speak on the
Norman Park Center renovation item listed under his report this evening and if
there were no objections from Council, he would address that item at this time.
Mayor Cox stated that he and Councilman Malcolm had been appointed as the
subcommitee to Norman Park Senior Center Renovation. He stated they had had a
number of meetings with representatives of the development community
(McMillin, The Point) regarding assistance with this project, cost savings,
donation of materials, services, etc.; willingness on the developer's part to
help out. They then met with representatives from Norman Park Center to see
if they should proceed with the original plans or come up with new plans that
were more cost efficient and added additional footage. The consensus was to
come up with a new design concept, find a temporary location for the existing
operation and take up the offer from Point Builders to brin~ back a contract
where they would be a sole source service at an "at cost" basis.
Minutes - lO - September 5, 1989
Councilman Malcolm noted that the work that has been done so far has not been
lost; the architect with The Point has just started on the design; the design
incorporates the layout that has been done; seniors felt that a new building,
if done quickly, would have their support; there is a commitment from all
builders to do this; these savings will allow us to move and focus on one
location; he recommended proceeding as soon as possible with The Point and
asked the City Attorney how they could award the contract without going out to
bid.
Richard Friedson, Visions Architects, 740 13th Street, ~305, San Diego,
presented slides of the building as designed. He noted they put have quite
some time in this project and it has not been easy. Has been working on this
for the last two years. In an advisory role he explained the following: the
building did start as an addition; only 5% of original building should be
retained and the building could be build much quicker; cost of building
breakdown came to $118 square foot; the building is designed to be durable,
low maintenance, efficient eletrical/mechanical system, designed for solar
energy; will pay for itsel f within five years; their expertise is in the
designing for senior centers; he also questioned why the developers could not
donate towards this building and add on.
In answer to Councilman Nader's questions, Mr. Friedson responded that this is
not a customized roof as noted by Point Builders; a different roof would not
achieve low cost savings; can delete sky light at savings of $250-300. As to
the windows, they are steel, which is durable. It would save money if
replaced with aluminum but kept the steel windows at the request of the Design
Review Con~ittee; he recommended against replacing the walls, they were the
structural walls and replacing them would cost more.
Mr. Friedson also pointed out that the staff report noted an $80-95 cost per
square foot, which could not be done. He noted that if Council scraps these
pl arts, they would not be able to use the grant money that was available.
There are certain conditions on grant money such as having to go out to bid
and the use of Davis-Bacon wage rates on the entire job.
Councilman Malcolm noted that it is not Council's intention to lose the monies
available; they have never been told of the stipulation.
Director of Parks and Recreation Mollinedo noted the requirement that the
money must be encumbered for construction by June 1990. Regarding the bidding
and wages, there are Davis-Bacon requirements if the grant money is to be
used, there also may be a requirement that the project may have to be bid out,
they are still discussing this with the City Attorney.
In answer to Councilman Nader's question, Mr. Friedson responded they would
have no problem adjusting their work to such changes as housing senior service
providers in this building. They have just completed an addition in a center
in Escondido. The Norman Park Center was also designed with expansion in mind.
MOTION
l'~'~lm/Cox) to continue (from the recommendation) items one and two to
Thursday's Redevelopment Agency meeting and to approve items three and four.
Minutes - ll September 5, 1989
Mayor Cox clarified the motion: to continue items one and two to Thursday
September 7, after the Redevelopment Agency meeting and, that items three and
four were to incorporate space for senior providers in the new design and
consider the entire park site in the Master Plan and direct staff to find a
temporary location for the Center activities and bring back the necessary
documents.

burgundy pin-striped shirt (either short or long sleeve), and a navy blue

Councilman Nader questioned the need for special uniforms for the drivers.
