Antonio Gomez was struck head-on by a stolen van when the van attempted to
pass in an oncoming lane. The claimants allege that the dangerous condition
of the roadway contributed to the collision. Due to the questionable
liability to the City and in order to commence the statute of limitations, it
was reconmended by Carl Warren & Company and the risk management staff that
these claims be rejected.
The fourth claim was filed for personal injuries, pain and suffering allegedly
caused by a trip and fall from an uneven sidewalk in front of 1133 Cuyamaca
Street. It was recommended by Carl Warren & Company and the risk management
staff that this claim be rejected.

(Conmnunity Development Director)
a. RESOLUTION 12018 APPROPRIATING BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION AND ASSOCIATED
DOCUMENTS FOR 1985-86 PROGRAM YEAR
City Council Meeting - 3 - May 14, 1985
The Council continued this hearing from the meeting of May 7, 1985, in order
to allow the Filipino-American Association to submit a proposal for funding.
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox reopened the public
hearing.
Housing Coordinator Gustafson stated he investigated the funding for the
Shared Housing Program and is continuing to recommend the program be funded
through the Community Block Grant funds.
Sylvia Robledo, 2303 "N" Avenue, National City, representing the San Ysidro
Health Center and National City Family Clinic, stated she researched the
percentage of people from Chula Vista who use the clinic. There are 157 Chula
Vistans, 145 from National City. Out of the 157, 117 actually live in the
City of Chula Vista and have that zip cede. There are no other duplication of
services anywhere in the County. She gets referrals from doctors and these
are primarily for people who are physically unable to care for themselves or
handicapped.
In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss' inquiry, Ms. Robledo stated that the
clinic operates in part under the Case Management System Program (CMS) and
they can turn Chula Vista residents away under the medical social service.
Mrs. Rita Andrews, President, South Bay American Association, stated she
received the letter from staff on Friday and called an emergency meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Association on Saturday. Due to the lack of
time, the Committee decided to postpone their application to Council until
next year.
There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Councilwoman McCandliss referred to the National City Family Clinic and their
request for $5,660. She recommended not funding the clinic. She has s~me
concerns regarding the distribution of clients in the Chula Vista area. She
doesn't believe that without direct funding from the agencies of National City
and Chula Vista, San Ysidro can turn away residents of Chula Vista. She would
just as soon work with the funds within the City and provide funds to those
agencies providing social work support to the citizens of the City.
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to delete the request of the National City Family
Clinic from the entitlement.
Mayor Cox asked about potential funding for Jobs for Youth. Housing
Coordinator Gustafson stated that the program is a technical one and cannot be
funded because they do not meet the low and moderate income qualifications.
The program requires more information on this and he has encouraged the
directors to start a better record keeping system. Councilman Malcolm stated
it was regretful to deny the request noting the City is funding a portion of
the Del Rey Nutrition Center--funding for senior citizens rather than for
youth.
City Council Meeting 4 May 14, 1985
MS (Malcolm/Scott) to delete the $4,000 request for funds for the Del Rey
Nutrition Center. The motion failed by the following vote:
AYES: Malcolm, Scott
NOES: McCandliss, Moore, Cox
ABSENT: None
Mr. Gustafson responded to the Council's questions stating the Senior Citizen
Nutrition Program qualifies under the definition of low and reDderate incomes
because it is a senior program. Councilwoman McCandliss co~ented that she
hoped the staff will be working with the Jobs for Youth Program in order for
them to obtain funding next year.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to take the funding that was deleted from the National
City Family Clinic and fund the Handicapped Parking Signs for a similar amount.
Councilman Scott asked to have the metion approved contingent upon the basis
of the exact funding and have staff research this. Councilman Malcolm
suggested the money be used for the Telegraph Canyon Creek. Mayor Cox noted
that this matter will be back to the Council at budget time for approval.
RESOLUTION OFFERED by Mayor Cox, reading of the text was waived by unanimous
consent, passed and approved unanimously. Councilwoman McCandliss noted that
she is abstaining on the item dealing with the funding for the Boys and Girls
Club since she is a member of the Board of Directors.
MSUC (Cox/Scott) for staff to come back with potential funding source for Jobs
for Youth Program and this to be brought back at budget time. The motion
carried with Councilman Moore voting "no."
5. PUBLIC HEARING PCZ-84-D CONSIDERATION TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 225
ACRES LOCATED EASTERLY OF BRANDYWINE AVENUE AND
NORTHERLY OF OTAY VALLEY ROAD FROM I-P to I-L-P
(Director of Planning)
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
Director of Planning Krempl explained that at the City Council meeting of
November 15, 1983, the Council voted unanimously to initiate this General Plan
amendment and rezoning.
The Planning Commission recommended the Council adopt the General Plan
Amendment but terminate oonsideration of the companion rezoning. The staff
concurred with the Planning Commission's recommendation.
On August 28, 1984, the Council voted to approve the General Plan Amendment
and to continue consideration of the rezoning until the Implementation Plan
and Design Manual for the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment area were brought
before them.
City Council Meeting - 5 - May 14, 1985
The Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area Implementation Plan (Design
Manual Addendure) was adopted by the Council on March 21, 1985, and amended on
April 18, 1985. Staff believes this rezoning request is no longer necessary
and should be terminated.
Barbara Hall, 1675 Pt. Reyes Court, Chula Vista, said she is opposed on having
to depend totally on the Planning Design Manual. It contains too many
"shoulds" and very few "musts." Mrs. Hall co~nented on the expansion of
Hyspan noting the lack of water pressure for fire protection service in the
area. She asked that if any consideration has been given to putting in a fire
station in this particular area. Director of Management Services Thomson
stated his staff is now doing a very intensive research on fire station
locations. In answer to Council's questions, Director of Planning Krempl
stated he is not aware of the lack of water in that area; however, it will be
addressed in the future. In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss' question, he
added the resolution did not go to the Project Area Co~]nittee because the
application was on file prior to the Cormnittee's existence.
Mr. Greg Garrett, 530 "B" Street, San Diego, Attorney for Crown Chemical
Corporation, stated that although the proposal is not totally acceptable to
both sides, they are supporting the proposal.
Mr. James McCormack, 880 Energy Way, Chula Vista, representing County Auto
pool, Inc., expressed his displeasure in not having any representation from
the people in the area concerning the guidelines in the Design Manual.
Mr. A. W. Hall, 1675 Pt. Reyes Court, Chula Vista, stated his concerns
regarding the low water pressure near the Hyspan facility. Mr. Hall
questioned whether the Planning Department was doing their job and that the
Council owes it to the people in residence in that area to get a better job of
planning. Mr. Hall added there is still the problem of noise at the Hyspan
facility.
There being no further comments either for or against, the hearing was
declared closed.
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to request this matter be sent to the Project Area
Committee for review and to come back to the Council following their next
meeting for consideration (public hearing continued to the Council meeting of
June 11).
MSUC (Moore/Scott) to direct staff to review the status of the water pressure
as it pertains to fire fighting, etc. in the Otay Valley area and also the
number of fires which have occurred in the last six months. This report is
due back in two weeks (June 11).
City Council Meeting - 6 - May 14, 1985
6. ORAL CO~FJNICATIONS
Jim Gray, 9 East Oneida Court, Chula Vista, stated he operates an ice-cream
truck and has done this for a great number of years. He objects to banning
the trucks without any cause or justification. Mayor Cox explained the calls
and complaints received by the Council regarding school children running back
and forth to the trucks creating a safety hazard. Councilman Malcolm stated
he is not sure he would be against having the ice-cream trucks in the areas of
the junior and senior high schools. He hoped Mr. Gray would come back at the
time the ordinance is scheduled for consideration. Councilman Moore suggested
that the matter be referred to the school districts noting they should review
it and also that it should be referred to the Safety Co~m~ission.
MSUC (Moore/Scott) to refer the proposed ordinance to the Chula Vista
Elementary School District and the Sweetwater Union High School District.
CONSENT CALENDAR (7-11)
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to approve the Consent Calendar.

13. RESOLUTION 12023 AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 11748 REGARDING
CLASSIFICATION AND SALARY PLAN FOR CHULA VISTA
EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION AND RESOLUTION NO. 11791
REGARDING THE SALARY PLAN FOR MIDDLE MANAGERS
(Continued from the meeting of May 7, 1985) (Director
of Personnel )
Director of Personnel Thorsen reported that at the May 7th meeting, the
Council requested a review of the salary surveys which were done in
conjunction with each of the classification studies recommended for approval.
City Council Meeting 9 May 14, 1985
Each classification study conducted by the Personnel Department includes both
internal alignment (comparison with other positions in the City) and external
alignment (comparison with other cities) whenever possible.
As a part of the budget process each year, classification studies are
conducted to evaluate positions that Department Heads feel are no longer
properly classified due to changes in the nature of duties and
responsibilities. There are instances where the need to study a position,
classification or classification series arises outside the budget schedule due
to mid year changes of duties and/or responsibilities, recognition of
recruitment difficulties, co~nitments made during negotiations, or the demands
of Personnel Department workload.
Since the budget was adopted for 1984-85, the Personnel Department has
conducted the following five major classification/compensation studies and
have reco~nended salary increases:
1. The Librarian series
2. The Construction Specialist series
3. Storekeeper
4. Survey Party f~lief
5. Data/Entry Computer Operator Series
In response to Council's questions, Director of Personnel Thorsen explained
she reviewed the classifications for the Library positions comparing them with
the studies done in the Engineering Department whereby the Jr. Civil Engineer
was moved up to Senior Civil Engineer. She stated she checked out all of
these classification series with the Unions involved and explained the reason
for the delay in getting it to the Council at this time. Councilwoman
McCandliss said she was concerned that the reclassifications and salary
increases are coming to the Council at this date just before the City will be
going into negotiations for the annual salary increases. City Manager Goss
remarked it would be appropriate for the Council to consider the salary
increases at this time and to make them retroactive to July since these people
have been waiting for the classification increases.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text was waived
by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
14. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER
a. City Manager Goss referred to the budget calendar memo submitted to
Council asking if there were any modifications. Councilman Malcolm
stated he will not be present at the scheduled budget hearing of
June 12. Councilman Scott stated he may have a problem on June 8.
Mayor Cox suggested the meeting scheduled for June 12 be rescheduled for
June 3 at 7:00 p.m. City Manager Goss noted that the Capital Improvement
programs can be considered on June 6.
~ City Council Meeting - 10 - May 14, 1985

and reinstallation of the plant materials previously planted on the project
with addition of some tree forms. The cost would be $27,000 and predicated on
the use of 1 gallon size shrubbery and vines. The City of Chula Vista would
use City forces to provide all the labor and equipment and all material would
be let for bid. Public Works would perform the demolition work and Parks and
Recreation would do the planting and irrigation work.
MSUC (Malcolm/Scott) to accept the report.
16. MAYOR'S REPORT
a. REPORT APPOINTMENT OF MEMEERTONTDB BOARD
MS (Scott/Malcolm) to appoint Councilwoman McCandliss.
Councilman Malcolm indicated the appointment should be for the Mayor.
Councilman Scott disagreed stating the responsibility should be passed
around. Councilwoman McCandliss said she feels very confident she can perform
very well for the City. Mayor Cox closed the nominations and a unanimous vote
was cast for Councilwoman McCandliss. Council concurred that the Mayor would
be the Alternate.
b. REPORT APPOINTMENT OF MEMBER TO LAFCO CITIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MSUC (Cox/Moore) to appoint Councilman Scott.
City Council Meeting - 11 - May 14, 1985

vote was cast for Councilman Malcolm and Moore.

Redevelopment Agency meeting for purposes of discussing the application

17. COUNCIL COMMENTS
a. Councilman Moore asked for funds to cover the costs of printing 3,000
brochures for the 75th anniversary. The amount would not exceed $500.
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) to approve the amount up to $500.
b. Councilwoman McCandliss complimented the Mayor on an excellent
presentation to the Board of Supervisors last Wednesday. She stated the
Board and staff were greatly influenced by the presentation (Chula Vista
Sphere-of-Influence).
c. Councilwoman McCandliss asked the status of filling the position of
Director of Parks and Recreation. City Manager stated that he has the
report on his desk with the identification of the top three candidates.
He hasn't had a chance to finalize the last step because of the budget
process. Councilwoman McCandliss said that one of the first
responsibilities of the new Director should be the total assessment of
the recreational programs in the City. There should be a master plan of
the recreational facilities for the future plus the kind of services the
City will provide.
d. Councilwoman McCandliss referred to the joint meeting held yesterday at
Southwestern College in which developers' fees for schools were
discussed. She noted the present concern was cost of the future
schools. She expressed concern for having the "lion's share" of the
funds go to those schools that are needed eastward but felt there should
be some recognition for the rest of the City's school improvements and
services.
City Council Meeting - 12 - May 14, 1985
MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to contact the School District and convene a committee
of Chula Vista City Council, elementary school and the high schools
representatives and elected officials and also representation from Assemblyman
Peace's office and Senator Deddeh's office to look at some long-term funding
mechanism for building permanent facilities for future schools. Councilman
Moore suggested Councilwoman McCandliss be the City's representative.
e. Councilman Malcolm expressed his concern regarding statements made by
Congressman Bates indicating the Mayor and Council were "selling off the
City" (regarding the Navy housing) in order to obtain a second harbor
entrance. He stated this is nothing but "fabrication and mistruths" and
that Congressman Bates should "tell it as it is" and not to make any more
malicious statements. Mayor Cox said he had a breakfast meeting with
Congressman Bates last Saturday in an attempt to resolve some of these
issues. Congressman Bates did not recall making any statement regarding
the Council's acceptance of Telegraph Point for Navy housing. Councilman
Scott understands the frustration but felt the comments made by
Councilman Malcolm may be counterproductive. Councilwoman McCandliss
agreed adding there have been problems with the District representation
of Mr. Bates' office and perhaps this should be told to Mr. Bates.
The Council recessed at 9:45 p.m. to the Redevelopment Agency meeting.
The Council reconvened as the City Council at 9:50 p.m. and recessed to Closed
Session. The City Clerk was excused. The City Manager reported the Session
ended at 10:00 p.m.
