City Manager Goss commented while the bullet train appears to have no direct impact on South Bay cities, Council may wish to support the north County cities in objecting to what they apparently appear to perceive as an infringement on the home rule. MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to refer the request to the Legislative Committee. b. LETTER FOR CONSIDERATION TO SERVE ANOTHER TERM ON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD (Richard P.

MSUC (Moore/Scott) to refer this request to staff to be handled administratively in accordance with the Council policy. ' | · IT City Council Meeting - 3 - February 28, 1984 PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES 4. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF A STREET NAME CHANGE FOR DORA LANE AND A PORTION OF BRANDYWINE AVENUE NORTH OF ORANGE AVENUE (PCM-84-7) CHULA VISTA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (Director of Planning) The Chula Vista Community Hospital requested Dora Lane be renamed to Medical Center Court and a portion of Brandywine Avenue between Telegraph Canyon Road and Orange Avenue be renamed to Medical Center Drive. The Planning Commission recommended the street name change for Brandywine Avenue be denied and the applicant be given the option of changing Dora Lane to Medical Center Court. Staff concurred with this recommendation. Director of Planning Krempl answered the Council's questions pertaining to the current dead-end street circumstances as versus the long-term plan to connect the street down to East Orange Avenue and Otay Valley Road. He felt the decision should be based on the ultimate street pattern and priorities 9iven to having the name contiguous with the continuous street and not have the names broken up at a mid-point in the street. Mr. Robert Hansen, Executive Director of the Community Hospital of Chula Vista, 751 Dora Lane, spoke in support of the name change stating the hospital was the only facility located in that area in 1975; however; today there is the Vista Hill Hospital, an acute care center and medical office building. In the summer of this year, a second medical building will be constructed and there are plans for a convalescent hospital. A third medical building will be constructed prior to the end of 1984. Mr. Hansen stated with all of these medical facilities, it is appropriate to rename Brand3n~ine Avenue to Medical Center Drive from Telegraph Canyon Road to Orange Avenue. Mr. Hansen added he spoke to Supervisor Hamilton and was assured there were no immediate plans for the County to improve that road in the near future. Speaking against the proposal was James T. Welsh, 1491 Brandywine Avenue, Luis Amador, 1487 Brandywine, Richard Dare, 1497 Brand~vwine and Barbara Pichardo, 1481 Brandywine Avenue. In summary, their protests were: (1) they resent the name change due to the major inconvenience to the property owners in having to change all of their records i.e. bank accounts, street addresses, charge accounts; (2) the money they will have to spend to do this, (3) Brandywine is not an access street just to the medical facilities, it passes through a quiet residential area; (4) the name change is "architecturally offensive"; (5) the hospital has been there for a great number of years and everyone knows where it is; the other facilities should make known their location by means of advertising; (6) more hospital signs should be put up at the freeway entrances; (7) Ruth Blank, Vice-President of Bay Hospital Medical Center was quoted as being opposed to the name change, (8) the name should not be changed over the opposition of the homeowners on that street. City Council Meeting - 4 - February 28, 1984 Council discussion followed regarding the future extension of Brandywine down to Orange Avenue and the proposals for the development along that area; the name "Medical Center Drive" is not conducive for a residential area; more staff alternative options should have been given in the report; the decision for a name change should not be based on a certain amount of investment in the property - it should be based on sound planning; different names of other continuous streets in the City; confusion with the name change of Bay Hospital Medical Center. Mayor Cox said he could support the request for a name change. Councilman Malcolm agreed stating he could not support the change from Brand~a~ine Avenue beginning Orange Avenue south but could support it beginning on Telegraph Canyon Road. If in the future, there is some type of development along the extension of Orange Avenue to the south, at that time, the staff could look at it again and perhaps come up with another name. Right now, the road is used only for the purpose of going to the hospital. MSUC (Moore/Scott) to approve the Dora Lane portion of the Community Hospital's request to giving them the option of changing the name of Dora Lane to Medical Center Court. This decision to be made within six (6) months. MS (Scott/McCandliss) to deny the request for the name change of Brandywine Avenue to Medical Center Drive. The motion failed by the following vote to-wit: AYES: Scott, McCandliss NOES: Malcolm, Cox, Moore ABSENT: None MS (Malcolm/Cox) to allow the Chula Vista Community Hospital to change the name from Dora Lane to Telegraph Canyon Road to Medical Center Drive. The area of Brandywine Avenue from Orange south to remain the same name: Brandywine. Included in the motion is for staff to come back to Council when any housing occurs in that area - for consideration of changing back the name (to Brandywine). Councilman Moore expressed his concern relative to granting more time to the staff and applicant to come up with a better name change (also due to the recent name change of Bay General Hospital). SUBSTITUTE MOTION MS (Scott/Moore) to hold this over for one month and for staff to look into other alternatives. NEW SUBSTITUTE MOTION MSUC (Scott/Moore) to continue the public hearing to the meeting of April 17, 1984 (with staff to report at that time). City Council Meeting - 5 - February 28, 1984 5. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS a. John Crouse, 135 E1 Capitan Drive, Chula Vista, representing the Bonita Optimist's Club stated they will sponsor some of the Junior O13n~pics at the Bonita Optimist site on April 9. One of the events is the lO0-yard dash for which they need asphalt concrete, llO-yards long by 50-feet wide. Mr. Crouse said the Sweetwater Authority will lay and roll it, and Sim Harris Inc. will furnish one-half of the asphalt with the other half coming from Daly Corporation. The request of the Optimist Club is for Chula Vista to haul the asphalt from the plant to the Bonita Optimist Club. MSUC (Scott/Malcolm) to refer this to staff with a report back on March 13. b. Mr. Earl B. Johnson, 250 Bonita Glen Drive, D-7, Chula Vista, spoke on the request for leasing the golf course. He stated the weather is in the City's good favor and a dirt ditch as proposed will not help much if there is a flood. He felt the City should develop its own plans for the golf course and to maintain it. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES, FIRST READING 6. RESOLUTION 11550 APPROPRIATING FUNDS TO PURCHASE A DUELATRON FIREARMS TRAINING SYSTEM (Director of Public Safety) The range facility in the Police Department is equipped as a standard pistol range with electronically controlled targets that respond to controls either from the shooting booth or the master control panel. This range has serious limitations as it is unable to simulate the actual types of field situations which face the officers. The Duelatron System will provide the department with the ability to set up decision-making courses of fire in a variety of locations. The cost of this System is $13,500. Up to this point, the department has received donations from various businesses totaling $5,000 with a promise of another $2,500. Director of Public Safety Winters stated that in September 1982, the police officers became involved in an investigation in which they seized $6,000 in cash from two Mexican nationals. This incident turned out to be a Federal charge involving the illegal purchase of weapons. The $6,000 confiscated was never claimed. In all probability, this money will legally belong to the City in September of 1985. He recommended the City be allowed to utilize this $6,000 in the purchase of the Duelatron System. In answer to Councilman Scott's question, Mr. Winters stated this was not the number one priority of the Department; however, there is a need presently to train the officers in this particular field. Councilman Scott indicated he would vote for the motion tonight; however, he felt everything should have the scrutiny of a budget process and be compared to other City expenditures. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. City Council Meeting - 6 - February 28, 1984 7. RESOLUTION 11551 APPROVING EXTENSION OF THE PARAMEDIC SERVICE CONTRACT AND RATE SCHEDULE AMENDMENT FOR MEDTRANS (DBA HARTSON'S AMBULANCE SERVICE) (Director of Public Safety) Director of Public Safety Winters reported the two year Paramedics' Service Contract with MedTrans (DBA Hartson's) terminated on December 8, 1983. During this time of uncertainty, as it pertains to the anti-trust laws, he feels it would be appropriate to issue a request for proposals for paramedic services. At this time, MedTrans is requesting an amendment to the Rate Schedule due to changes in Medicare reimbursement policies. Hartson's is requesting this contract extension contain an amendment to allow them to immediately initiate patient charges for life support supplies and for an amendment in the fee schedule allowing them to charge cost plus 77% for the disposable supplies and drugs administered to patients. Councilwoman McCandliss questioned, whether in the past, they were allowed to bill the service for their bad debts. Assistant City Manager Asmus noted the billing has always been done in this manner. Mr. Dick Wilson, representing Hartson's explained the normal rate increases have always taken into consideration the collection rate. In this particular case, they are tying the same experience to a new cost - the cost of drugs and supplies. With this amendment, they will just be breaking even on their costs and the results will be the same. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. Councilwoman McCandliss noted the motion also includes having staff initiate the RFP process for the paramedic seYvice. She added she would like to have staff, in this process, "tap" into the Health Systems Agency and/or Employers' Cost Coalition to get a handle on the costs and financial analysis of the RFP's coming in. MSUC (Scott/Malcolm) to refer to staff their comments on whether or not it would be appropriate to hire a (health service) consultant to look over the RFP's for the paramedic service. Councilwoman McCandliss voted for the motion; however, she felt that hiring a consultant may not be necessary, that the "expertise" is out there. 8. RESOLUTION 11552 ORDERING THE PROPOSED ANGUS/DEL MAR REORGANIZATION INVOLVING ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND CONCURRENT DETACHMENTS FROM THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT ZONE 3 AND THE LOWER SWEETWATER FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT (Director of Planning) City Council Meeting - 7 - February 28, 1984 On August 17, 1983, the City Planning Department received an application for a reorganization from Mr. Mitchell N. Angus, owner of a certain parcel of land located at the northwest corner of "C" Street and De1 Mar Avenue. The proposed reorganization involves annexation to the City of Chula Vista and concurrent detachments from the San Diego County Flood District - Zone 3 and the Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District. The San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission adopted a resolution approving the subject reorganization proposal at their meeting of January 9, 1984 and authorized the Chula Vista City Council to initiate reorganization proceedings. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 9. RESOLUTION WAIVING BIDS AND AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT WITH JOHN HANSEN COMPANY TO MOVE GREG ROGERS HOUSE AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED $25,000 (Community Development Director) City Manager Goss reported that at the City Council meeting of February 21, funds were appropriated in the amount of $52,000 to move the Greg Rogers house to Friendship Park on the Library grounds. In order to accommodate this move in a permanent location, a site plan has been developed. Because of the short timeframe between the decision to locate the house and a contract to move the house, a complete study and architectural review has not been accomplished. The recommendation is to accept the report which provides for the solicitation of proposals for architectural services. The Library Board of Trustees at their regular meeting of February 22, 1984 voted to oppose the placement of the Greg Rogers house on the Library grounds. They further suggested it would be more suitable to place the house in Eucalyptus Park. City Manager Goss 9ave the Council an update of the project stating the staff is now recommending approval of the revised resolution to go to bid with the Marquez house movers who will perform the house move at a much less cost than the Hansens. He reiterated the request for staff to hire an architectural service to do the site plan indicating this would be critical for this plan to proceed. $52,000 has been allocated from Block Grant money - the remainder of the money for the project will be budgeted in the fiscal year 1984-85. The entire project will cost an estimated $150,000. As to volunteers, Del Rey High School reported they will help in the restoration; however, they cannot work at the site due to their liability - work will be performed at their school. Southwestern College may work on the project with the agreement of their Supervisor. As to the actual move of the house, the City Manager commented if the City were to move it on a temporary site, such as the Boys' Club, this could be done for $17,000 and with an additional $4,000 for a later move. He toured the area with a representative of SDG&E along the area which the house will be moved: "E" to Broadway and "H" to 4th Avenue. The only concern SDG&E had is with the wires at the actual Friendship Park site itself. Under the Municipal Code, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Design Review must be obtained. This process can proceed as the building is moved to an interim site. I City Council Meeting ~ 8 - February 28, 1984 Councilman Malcolm stated he had received numerous calls from people addressing this issue. He spoke to Mayor Cox and the Mayor came up with what he felt was a tremendous idea - to locate the house across the street east of Garrett Avenue. There are now six homes located at this street. For a long-range plan, when the homes are for sale, the City can purchase them for low and moderate housing and then locate historical houses on the site as they become available. This location would then become a Heritage Row with all of the cultural facilities in the center of the urban area. Councilman Scott asked the Council to take the position of storing the facility temporarily at the Boys' Club and then to (1) investigate other sites in the City; (2) whether there is any money available; (3) who can work on the site; (4) whether the house should be stored; (5) whether there should be a park across the street; (6) whether the City should sell it and have someone else restore it with City subsidizing it in some way. The staff can take three or four months to have these studies completed. MS (Scott/Malcolm) to authorize the staff to move the Greg Rogers House to the Boys' Club site or any other appropriate site as a temporary location and for the Council to direct the staff to come back with what studies may be needed with some of these options. The study is to come back in two weeks. Council discussion ensued regarding the various aspects which can be looked into in moving the house; once a commitment is made to save a home, then other homes which have historical value will have to follow the same procedure; a cultural center and a museum don't necessarily have to go together; a proposal to place the house temporarily at the Public Works compound since it has security and fencing; and a temporaty site at "C" and Broadway. Director of Building and Housing Grady responded the staff looked at the Public Works center; however, it would cost more money to move it there since part of the masonry gate would have to be removed and a number of utility lines along Woodlawn Avenue. Mayor Cox spoke in support of his suggestion to turn the east side of Garrett Avenue into a Heritage Row at some time in the future when the homes become available. The motion to place the home temporarily at the Boys' Club or other site carried unanimously. Speaking in opposition of placing the house at Friendship Park but in favor of restoring the home were Bruce Herms, 1175 Hilltop Drive representing the Chula Vista Historical Society; Mary Joralmon, lll6 5th Street, Coronado representing Save Our Heritage Organization; Harry Griffin, 692 East "J" Street, Chairman of the Resource Conservation Commission; Suzanne Miller, 46 Alvarado Place, Chula Vista, representing the Chula Vista Library Board of Trustees; Amy Richter, 1051 Del Mar Avenue, representing Friends of the Library; Will Hyde, 803 Vista Way, Chula Vista, former Mayor; Peter Watry, 81 Second Avenue, Chula Vista; Robert Coye, llO0 Industrial. Boulevard, and Carol Smith, 275 Sea Vale Street, Chula Vista. City Council Meeting - 9 - February 28, 1984 In summary, their comments were as follows: (1) there is a need to save the historical homes - at one time Colonel Dickenson's house was threatened with demolition and he was the "father of Chula Vista"; (2) recommend having it located close to the library; (3) against the location of Friendship Park; (4) against Eucalyptus Park since it is too remote a location and would have some impact on the seniors trying to walk up and down that hill; (5) the Library Board was never informed the library grounds were being considered; (6) the warning it will cost a great deal of money to restore the facility; (7) not happy with the Friendship Park location since parking at the library is now acute; (8) the library grounds is a "jewel" to Chula Vista and this open space will become more valuable as the years go by; (9) having Heritage Row located east of Garrett will be a wonderful attraction to the area; (10) there is a definite need for sponsorship for the house - Chula Vista Historical Society cannot do this - they cannot open up their own room at the public library for public viewing; (ll) where is the money coming from for maintenance of the house; (12) the rehabilitation cost of the estimated $200,000 should be used for Senior Citizen housing rather than for restoration of this house. MS (Scott/Malcolm) not to include consideration of the library grounds (in the staff's report). Mayor Cox stated he is speaking against the motion. The direction given to staff is to look at all alternatives and he is not ready to completely reject the library grounds. Councilman Moore agreed with the Mayor stating he could not support this motion also. The motion carried by the following vote to-wit: AYES: Scott, Malcolm, McCandliss NOES: Cox, Moore ABSENT: None REVISED RESOLUTION 9. RESOLUTION 11553 WAIVING BIDS AND AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT WITH MARQUEZ COMPANY TO MOVE GREG ROGERS HOUSE AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED $25,000 (Community Development Director) RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. lO. RESOLUTION 11554 EXTENDING AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES (City Manager) On June 28, 1983, the City Council approved an agreement with Mr. Bud Gray to perform planning evaluation and processing work for the EastLake I Planned Community. The term of the agreement was set for automatic termination of March l, 1984 unless extended by all parties. All parties to the agreement i.e., the City of Chula Vista, EastLake Development Company and Mr. Gray are in agreement the contract should be extended for an additional period of time. The resolution extends the term of the contract for planning services until December 1, 1984. City Council Meeting - lO - February 28, 1984 RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN McCANDLISS, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 11.

City Manager Goss reported SANDAG has formed a micro-computer user group and Chula Vista is using this service in its traffic studies. d.

REPORT SISTER CITY COMMEMORATIVE (Director of Planning) The International Friendship Commission recommended approval of the design of the "Sister City Commemorative" sculpture, plaques, and direction-finder sign-post to be located within the Civic Center complex. The sculpture consists of a series of cylindrical, concrete forms of varying heights with angled faces designed to receive brass plaques. The existing Erythrina corraloides (Coral tree- only one in bloom) in the location of the proposed sculpture will be relocated during the Arbor Day/"Tree City USA" program on the 8th of March at 1:00 p.m. The estimated cost of the concrete for the sculpture is approximately 51,600 plus approximately $400 for each bronze cylinder to identify each of the three sister cities, for a total cost of between $2,'700 and $3,000. MSUC (Cox/Scott) to accept the staff recommendation. Mr. Bob Sennett submitted a plat showing the cylindrical sculpture.
