1o UNANIMOUS CONSENT ITEM APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH JIMMY'S
RESOLUTION 12006 FAMILY OF FINE RESTAURANT'S, INC. FOR
THE SURRENDER OF A LEASE OF THE
RESTAURANT AND BAR PREMISES AND FOR
THE PURCHASE OF FIXTURES (City
Attorney)
Jimmy's on the Green entered into a lease agreement for the
operation of the restaurant dated December 27, 1981. They have
now fallen behind in the rent payments and voluntarily wish to
surrender the lease to the City. The City has agreed to purchase
the equipment and fixtures for the price of $250,000. Jimmy's
will close the restaurant at the Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course
at the close of business on April 30, 1985.
Council discussion followed during which Assistant City Manager
Asmus answered questions pertaining to the lease agreement. Mr.
Asmus stated that Peter Kaye, Manager for Jimmy's on the Green was
supposed to have delivered the signed agreement last night or this
morning - it has not been received but he understands that it has
been signed. The American Golf Corporation will take over the
operation of the restaurant on Wednesday morning, May 1st. The
bank holds title to some of the fixtures in the restaurant;
however, staff sees no problem of the bank not releasing the
title.
Councilman Moore questioned the security of the inventory of the
fixtures and equipment in the restaurant prior to the American
Golf takeover. Mr. Asmus noted an inventory has been taken of the
fixtures (list attached to the resolution) and according to the
terms of the lease, American Golf will probably take their own
inventory.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
Council Conference - 2 - April 27, 1985
2. UNANIMOUS CONSENT ITEM APPROVING LEASE AGREEMENT WITH
RESOLUTION 12007 AMERICAN GOLF FOR THE INTERIM
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF THE
RESTAURANT AND BAR PREMISES PRESENTLY
KNOWN AS JIMMY'S ON THE GREEN (City
Attorney)
American Golf Corporation, Manager of the Chula Vista Municipal
Golf Course have agreed to take over the operation of the
Restaurant beginning May 1, 1985. The term of the lease is for a
period of 90 days subject to the actual vacation of the premises
by Jimmy's. After the 90 day period, the term will be a month to
month tenancy which can be terminated by either party with a 30
day notice.
Assistant City Manager Asmus stated the rent for the leased
premises will be 7% of the gross sales. The agreement was
reviewed by the American Golf Corporation's attorneys who came
through with "boiler plate" revisions which were incorporated into
the agreement. Staff expects American Golf to execute the
agreement on Monday, April 29, 1985.
Mr. Asmus suggested the Council continue this meeting to Tuesday,
4:00 p.m. in case there is a need to meet on any question
pertaining to the takeover.
In answer to Councilman Scott's question, Mr. Asmus stated there
has been some talk about American Golf being interested in
permanently taking over the restaurant. They became interested in
it when they found out the vacant property to the west was
available.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was
waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
Mayor Cox expressed Council's appreciation to Assistant City
Manager Asmus for the excellent work he did regarding the
transition of the restaurant operation.
3. GOALS-SETTING WORKSHOP
Director of Management Services Jim Thomson introduced Dick Lyles,
Facilitator for the meeting. Mr. Thomson read the background of
Mr. Lyles (Consultant Field) adding he was highly recommended by
the Regional Training Center.
Mr. Lyles stated he wished to develop a process where there would
be a "commonness" of Council's views of the City for the benchmark
year of 2000.
Council Conference - 3 - April 27, 1985
Mr. Lyles commented Council should look at the broader scope
issues inasmuch as politicians, as a rule, fail to look at the
interface between themselves and the people who will carry out
their demands. Mr. Lyles explained the session will involve
brainstorming; what the Council forsees as the future environment
of the City for the 21st Century; what are the factors which must
be dealt with in this community; are these likely to emerge and
how will they affect the City?
Mr. Lyles commented that change was a "hot" topic in the 50's and
60's and everything broke loose in the 70's with Proposition 13.
The economic structure of the world changed, recession came into
being and a totally different environment is being experienced
than in the '50's, '60's and '70's. What Council will be
discussing will be the changes which will take place now' in Chula
Vista to the 21st Century, particularly as they impact the future
of the City. What is hoped to be obtained during this meeting is
what the key factors will be to the 21st Century, what will be the
level of impact, what will be likely to be achieved in that
time-frame and what the Council feels they would like to have
· approved for that time-frame.
Using flip-charts, Mr. Lyles asked the Council to state what they
forsee to occur between now and the year 2,000 in the City of
Chula Vista - factors which are significant and affect the way the
City operates. In this respect, they should take a look at County
environments, community issues, economic dynamics, transitions in
the level of government, proximity to the border and the internal
dynamics of the City. Mr. Lyles asked the Council to rate whether
these were high, medium or low. (The attached sheets depict the
potential environments which will affect the City by the year
2000. On the left, the Council's rating of the probability of the
event occurring and on the right the rating as it may impact on
the City, if, in fact, the event occurs).
The second phase of the meeting centered on items to "build,
improve and maintain". Following this, Council listed the items
which they hoped would be achieved (to the year 2000). Mr. Lyles,
then asked for a list of those items which Council felt should be
avoided.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Lyles suggested staff have
these items typed and distributed to Council for review and to
make any changes to the lists. At a subsequent meeting, Council
should finalize the items, translate them into definitive goals
and formulate strategies, timing and implementation.
Council Conference - 4 - April 27, 1985
4. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
a. City Manager Goss stated that the budget will be delivered to
the Council by May 10. The Council will be polled as to a

5. MAYOR'S REPORT (None)
6. COUNCIL COMMENTS
a. Councilwoman McCandliss discussed the number of cardrooms in
the City indicating her desire to decrease the number of
rather than increase the number of cardrooms as the
population of the City grows.
MS (McCandliss/Moore) to refer to staff the question of the
cardrooms: a measurement of how many (to be allowed) based on
population standards, with a view of reducing that amount through
attrition.
Councilman Scott indicated his opposition to the motion stating it
would be better to just give the cardroom 5-years to terminate
their operation.
The motion failed by the following vote:
AYES: McCandliss, Moore
NOES: Cox, Scott
ABSENT: Malcolm
Councilman Moore reminded the Council that a date needs to be set
