(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.
