patrons by eight) which will give the cardroom more than adequate
parking.
Speaking in favor were Jack Wagenaar, 3712 Alta Loma, Bonita,
Robert and Jean Luisi, 115 Corte Maria, Chula Vista. They
reiterated they were reducing the number of card tables to two
instead of three thereby decreasing the amount of parking spaces
and complying with the requirements of the City ordinance.
City Attorney Harron stated the Council has two options: 1) to
reconsider the matter or 2) to deny the application. He added
that drawing the name of Mrs. Luisi out of the lottery does not
bind the City Council on the location. Councilman Scott stated
he would like the staff to go back and study the parking
requirements for cardrooms to see if the 2.5 ratio is reasonable
and to bring this back to the City Council.

9. RESOLUTION 12003 AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 11602 RELATING TO
ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS FOR
MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
BY MORGAN-GARDNER SUBDIVISION (Community
Development Director)
Councilman Scott stated he will abstain from discussion and vote
on this item on the advice of the City Attorney due to possible
conflict of interest.
Dave Gustarson, Housing Coordinator, reported that on April 24,
1984 the City Council approved an inducement resolution for the
Eucalyptus Grove Apartment Project at "E" Street and Flower Street
in the amount of ~13 million in Multi-Family Mortgage Revenue
Bonds. Refinement of financial data and financing structuring for
the project has led the developer to request a substantially
higher inducement resolution increasing that bond amount. The
City's special Housing Consultant has evaluated the request.
The Community Development' Director recommended the Council amend
the inducement resolution for Eucalyptus Grove to allow a bond
amount not to exceed ~23 million. The developer is requesting ~24
million. Housing Consultant Grady stated he evaluated the ~23
million and ~24 million inducement bonds and is recommending the
lesser amount.
City Council Minutes - 7 - April 23, 1985
Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the reason for the ~23-424
million figure. Mr. Grady explained the purpose of the inducement
resolution was to provide an amount that the local entity feels
could be supported by the project for multi-family housing
8-1/2% is the interest rate and 423 million could be supported as
conditions exist today.
Mr. Hal Kuykendall, Charter Pacific Capital Corporation,
401 West "A" Street, Suite 1400, San Diego, developers of
Eucalyptus Grove Apartment Projects explained that the ultimate
security for the bond issue is the insurance company. They are
asking Council to authorize the 424 million. This is a loan that
the developers will have to live with for the next ten years and
it is a "locked-in" loan. Over 43 million of the ~24 million must
be invested as security in case of default. Mr. Kuykendall
remarked they will still have to come back to the City Council
before the bond sale.
Councilwoman McCandliss noted 413 million was the original
request. It was based on some public benefit to be returned to
the community, such as lower rental rates. Mr. Gustafson stated
the requirement is still in the agreement; it has not changed. A
certain percentage of the units will be constructed for low and
moderate income housing.
MSUC (Malcolm/McCandliss) to amend the resolution to state that
the amount not exceed 424 million.
Councilwoman McCandliss remarked she would never place the
credibility of the City in jeopardy. The financial resources
would have to be brought forward to support the bond issue of 424
million - if it is not there, it will not get issued.
Councilman Scott returned to the dais at this time.
10. RESOLUTION 12004 APPROVING NINTH AMENDMENT TO AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND THE
SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT FOR
GROUNDS AND COMFORT STATION MAINTENANCE
AT THE "J" STREET MARINA IN SAN DIEGO
UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT PROPERTY (Acting
Director of Parks and Recreation)
By Resolution No. 11652, Council approved the Seventh Amendment to
an Agreement with the San Diego Unified Port District whereby the
City provided maintenance services at the "J" Street Marina during
fiscal year 1984-85. Resolution 11652 also authorized an Eighth
Amendment be made for salary adjustments when an MOU was agreed
upon by the City and Chula Vista Employee's Association.
City Council Minutes - 8 - April 23, 1985
The District has requested that this Agreement be amended to
include the maintenance of the area known as Bayside Park and the
landscaped medians of Tidelands Avenue between Sandpiper way and
West "J" Street.
This proposal includes the addition of 1.5 staff, support
equipment and supplies. The cost of assuming the maintenance of
this area on June 1 will require an additional ~5,391. If the
amendment is approved, ~5,391 will be added to existing
maintenance contract and ~64,696 will be added to the proposed
FY 1986 "J" Street Marina Park budget of ~66,010. The amended
agreement will cover a 13-month period: June 1, 1985 through
June 30, 1986.
The Agreement provides for payment by the San Diego Unified
Port District for all City maintenance expenses in the amount of
~5,391 for the month of June 1985 and ~130,706 for FY 1986

placed in other positions.

11. RESOLUTION 12005 APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE ACQUISITION
OF RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT AND FIXTURES
(Assistant City Manager)
A written report was submitted by Assistant City Manager Asmus in
which he explained that the lease agreement between the City and
Jimmy's Family of Fine Restaurants, Inc. provided the City with
the first right of refusal to acquire all the equipment and
fixtures placed in the facility by lessee at their cost in the
event that the lease agreement had to be terminated for any cause
during its term. It has now been determined that the lessee is
unable, for a variety of reasons, to meet the obligations and
requirements of the lease agreement and therefore, the lease must
be terminated. It has been determined that it is in the best
interest of the City to acquire all the equipment and fixtures so
that an interim operator will be able to assume operation of the
facility until such time as proposals for a new operator can be
received and a new operator selected.
Mr. Asmus recommended appropriating ~250,000 for the purchase of
said equipment and fixtures.
City Council Minutes - 9 - April 23, 1985
Councilman Malcolm asked when the monies will be returned for the
back lease payments. Assistant City Manager Asmus stated it is
included in the full settlement cost.
Mayor Cox noted the restaurant will remain open and will guarantee
reservations made by the various organizations for banquets.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN McCANDLISS, the reading of the
text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved
unanimously.

Development Director)
On February 19, 1985, the Council authorized the appraisal of two
City-owned properties located at: 1) Telegraph Canyon Road east of
Missionary Alliance Church, and 2) Bay Boulevard south of
"J" Street. The appraisals have been completed and are available

City Council Minutes - 10 - April 23, 1985

period of two weeks.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to accept staff recommendation No. 2.
Councilman Malcolm stated he would like to look at the zoning for

works yard.
15. REPORT LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR NORTH SIDE OF TELEGRAPH
CANYON ROAD BETWEEN HILLTOP AND "L" STREET
(OPEN SPACE DISTRICT NO. 6) (Director of
Planning)
This item was discussed by Council at their workshop on
February 28, 1985. Due to the absence of Councilman Scott,
Council indicated that the report should be scheduled for a
regular Council meeting for discussion. Further, that a CIP item
should be prepared, brought forward and compete in the budget
process with other requested items and expenditures.
At that meeting, the Director of Planning presented four
conceptual choices. Each plan varied depending upon the desired
result, lush and intensive landscaping to subdued and urban. The
plans vary from an urban solution to an accepted rural solution,
to a parkway solution, to reinstallation of plant materials
previously planted.
The costs varied for this project from approximately 5101,500 to
5204,000 depending upon the concept selected. Possible funding
services would include Revenue Sharing, General Fund, Residential
Construction Tax funds or, in part, Gas Tax revenues.
The Director of Planning recommended any one of the four options
presented as viable landscape alternatives fo~ the treatment of
Telegraph Canyon Road. Staff recommended Plan "A" be implemented
and brought forward during budget time as a CIP item for
additional Council consideration and evaluation. Plan "A" is an
"urban" solution to the on-going problems of vandalism and
maintenance. Maintenance areas are reduced by the introduction of
a paved (concrete, not Asphaltic Cement) ground plane.
'T T I' I r
City Council Minutes - 11 - April 23, 1985
Mayor Cox stated before considering funding for this particular
project, he would like to see initiation of landscaping on some of
the other median islands - such as East of 805 and "L" Street.
Councilman Scott declared this particular area must be fixed since
it is illegal the way it was done.
Councilwoman McCandliss stated she would not like to see the trees
removed from the area.
MS (Malcolm/Moore) to accept the staff recommendation to bring it
back at budget time along with other CIP projects and put it up
based on its merits and have the report updated.
Councilwoman McCandliss suggested the asphalt be taken out and to
put the area back to what it was originally, retaining the
eucalyptus trees but replacing the sprinkler system.
Landscape Architect Sennett stated this would be Plan "C" and
would cost the City ~101,500. However, there would be a lesser
cost if the trees are not to be removed.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to refer this back to the landscape
architect for a cost estimate to return the area to its original
condition.
Councilman Malcolm commented he could not support spending
~100,000 for this particular project. There are other projects in
the City with higher priorities. He does not want to burden the
taxpayers with this cost and prefers to have some type of
hardscape put in which has very low maintenance.
16. REPORT ALTERNATIVE SITES FOR NAVY HOUSING Director
of Planning)
On February 19, 1985 the City Council requested the Planning staff
review existing multiple-family zoned sites within the City for
potential alternatives to accommodate Navy housing in
Chula Vista.
The following potential sites were identified: Bayfront;
Orange Avenue; "E" Street; E1 Rancho del Rey Adopted Plan;
EastLake and East College/Telegraph Canyon Point.
The four sites located in the eastern territories have no
significant development constraints. The three westerly sites
(Bayfront, Orange Avenue, and "E" Street) have more services
available at this time including immediate access to either I-5 or
1-805.
City Council Minutes - 12 - April 23, 1985
Principal Planner Lee submitted a slide showing the seven
potential sites. Councilman Scott stated he was disappointed with
the staff report indicating it was totally meaningless as it did
not give the information SANDAG has put out establishing criteria
for the points. He would like to know what criteria was used, how
they have assigned the points and how they have manipulated these
points. Staff should bring this back along with the SANDAG
criteria so Council can agree or disagree with the analysis.
MSC (Scott/McCandliss) to hold this over for two weeks and to get
the criteria that was utilized in order to come up with
conclusions based upon these points.
The motion passed with Mayor Cox and Councilman Malcolm voting
"no".
Principal Planner Lee stated he has the SANDAG point system and
can report on it this evening.
Councilman Malcolm discussed the seven sites stating there is
absolutely no way he will vote for Navy housing on the Bayfront
area - that area must be reserved for the public use. The other
sites do not have property owner approval and the only other
viable site would be the Orange Avenue site.
Councilwoman McCandliss said she would like to have the Housing
Coordinator look at the sites.
Mayor Cox agreed the Bayfront should not be considered since it
should be strictly for public access. He added he does not put
too much credence in the point system used and feels the best site
is still Telegraph Canyon Point.
The motion passed with Councilman Malcolm voting "no".
Mrs. Martha Gorman, 1825 Citadel Court, Chula Vista, asked that
the potential sites be resubmitted to SANDAG for reevaluation and
to the Navy so that they can perhaps contact the property owners
involved.
Mayor Cox said he will recommend three names for appointments to
the Navy Housing Committee at the Council Conference on Thursday
afternoon, April 25.

1'I[
City Council Minutes - 13 - April 23, 1985
At the January 29, 1985 meeting, the City Council, in response to
a written communication from the Palomar PTA, requested that staff
work with the Safety Commission in responding to the PTA's request
to ban ice cream truck sales in proximity to school grounds.
The Safety Commission recommended that commercial vehicles engaged
in vending (primarily ice cream trucks) be prohibited from parking
or stopping within 500 feet of any school property boundary in the
City of Chula Vista between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
on regular school days and direct an ordinance be brought back for
adoption.
Councilman Moore noted the key issue was the school property and
not the school district property. He suggested the wording of the
ordinance be changed to "individual schools and their associated
properties".
Mr. Bob Torbett, Vice Chairman for the Safety Commission, agreed
this change should be made. The Commission's concern was strictly
the safety of the children. The Code permits Council to take this
action and he encouraged them to do so.
MSUC (Moore/Scott) to amend the resolution to insert the words
"individual schools and their associated properties"
18. MAYOR'S REPORT
a. Mayor Cox stated there will be no meeting on Tuesday,
April 30, the 5th Tuesday. The City will hold its
Beautification Awards Banquet at the San Diego Country Club.
b. Mayor Cox announced that the cities of Chula Vista, Coronado,
National City and San Diego plus the Chamber of Commerce and
Yacht Clubs have taken action to request restudy of the
second harbor entrance. They all believe it is a project of
tremendous benefit to all the cities. The Mayor added Chula
Vista should take the lead on this.
MSUC (Cox/Malcolm) to docket for consideration at budget the sum
of ~25,000 for potential funding for the purpose of promoting the
second harbor entrance. This could include preparation of various
materials, public information, slide shows, potential of
acquisition of the services of a lobbyist or consultant to assist
in the furtherance of the second harbor entrance. Also to direct
staff to send a letter to the Cities of National City and San
Diego Unified Port District to request them to consider a similar
amount in their budgets.
City Council Minutes - 14 - April 23, 1985
Councilwoman McCandliss noted the Council asked for an
analysis of this a few months ago. Mayor Cox explained the
Unified Port District will be determining the benefits to the
member agencies. They are asking the Navy to consider the
benefits and cost savings and also for the Corps of Engineers
to update their cost figures.
19. COUNCIL COMMENTS
a. Councilman Malcolm referred to the statement made by
Congressman Bates concerning the Navy Housing project On the
proposed Telegraph Canyon Point site in which he stated the
Council is "selling out" the City in order to get a second
harbor entrance. Councilman Malcolm asked for an apology
from Congressman Bates.
b. Councilman Malcolm said he has been "swamped" by calls from
public institutions and private developers concerning lack of
engineering staff. He asked the City Manager to look into
the validity of some of these complaints.
c. Councilwoman McCandliss noted because of the move of the Greg
Rogers House last week; the Fifth Avenue sign (east on
"E" Street) is still tilted upward and asked staff to fix
it.
d. Councilwoman McCandliss stated she went to the library last
Saturday to see the miniature display. There was no notice
of this showing in the local newspaper (Star News) nor did
she see any publication from the Library on it. She added
she would like to refer to the Library Board the possibility
of the City promoting special displays in the Library.
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) the question Of City promotion of Library
displays be discussed and a recommendation come back to the City
Council at budget time. City Manager Goss stated he would look
into this matter.
e. Councilman Scott noted that the Chula Vista School District
has on their agenda this evening consideration of a change in
their election date to November 1986. He commented that when
the Council changed their election date to November 1985
(along with Council seat election), the School District went
along with it since the Charter states they conduct their
election along with the Municipal Election. He added that
changing the date now to the even-numbered year would require
the City to pay a higher cost for its election.
City Council Minutes - 15 April 23, 1985
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to write a letter to the School District and
suggest the Council would like to discuss the election date
because the Council took action (changed its election date) based
upon their (school) representation given to the Council - further,
that this item be docketed for the May 13 meeting and for them not
to take any action before that time.
f. Councilman Scott discussed the school fees paid by the
developers of new projects noting Chula Vista was the first
City to provide this mechanism. He has recently read that the
School Districts are changing their fees to charge ~1,700.
The Council had no word of this. He felt the Council and
School District should work together and coordinate this
matter.
MSUC (Scott/Malcolm) to bring this up as an agenda item at the
May 13 joint meeting with support information to be provided by
staff and the School Districts.
Councilman Moore asked that the Attorney advise the Council
on the rules concerning this. City Manager Goss remarked
that the Sweetwater High School District is looking to
doubling their school fees and also that School Districts
throughout the County are looking to Redevelopment Funds to
help pay for the schools.
The Council recessed to Closed Session at 9:35 p.m. The City
Clerk was excused. The City Manager reported the meeting ended at
10:05 p.m.
