PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES 4. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF UTILITY USERS' TAX (Director of Finance) a. RESOLUTION 12049 ESTABLISHING THE RATE FOR THE UTILITY USERS' TAX BETWEEN JULY 1, 1985 AND DECEMBER 31, 1985 This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. City Manager Goss explained that on June 29, 1978, the City Council approved and adopted Ordinance 1803. The purpose and intent of the Ordinance was to provide sufficient Utility User's Taxes to ensure a reasonable level of revenue for the necessary operation of the City of Chula Vista. Additionally, the City Council wished to retain the program of basing the taxation of gas and electricity on units of energy thus protecting taxpayers from increases in the tax brought about by rate increases granted by the Public Utilities Commission. He noted this was a semi-annual public hearing as required by the ordinance. There being no comments either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN McCANDLISS, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 5. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET FOR FY 1985-86 INCLUDING TIME PROPOSED USE OF GENERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS (City Manager) a.

City Manager Goss submitted slides on the overhead projector noting the changes made in the financial report stating the General Operating Budget amounts to $22,380,190; the CIP and Transit funds total $8,741,862 for a grand total of all funds of $31,122,052. City Manager Goss then discussed the Reserve List and his recommendations for the four level fundings in the amount of $283,470. The potential future reserve demands were listed as: Otay Valley Redevelopment District $300,000; additional Police $23,700; San Diego Gas and Electric Street Lighting from $100,000-$200,000; Police Crime Lab $150,000; Police Communications Center $251,000; Telegraph Canyon Drainage Project $1,900,000; Telegraph Canyon Road Median Landscaping $117,000; Rohr/Provence Park Improvements - unknown; Geo-based Information System unknown; and E1 Rancho del Rey No. 6 Park $284,000. The City Manager next presented the citizen's request for the Reserves. The Girls and Boys Club recommended that this request ($50,000) be deferred until other sources of funding are identified; Jobs for Youth $2,500 - no recommendation? Community Congregational Pre-school - $2,000 - no recommendation; Chula Vista Historical Society - $2,000 not recommended for funding; Hazel Goes Cook Playground - $8,185 not recommended that City funds be used for this purpose. Mr. Shale Hanson, representing the Western Council of Engineers asked for deletion of $100,000 from the $294,000 budget in the Engineering Department for Consultant services. The services are for Planning, Checking and Design Services which presently are being done by the employees. Mr. Hanson stated there is no justification for the money being budgeted and asked that only $10,000 be left for emergencies. If money is needed during the course of the year, the City Manager could ask for an appropriation. Mrs. Helga Rindone, 400 Westby Street, Chula Vista, asked for funds for the Community Congregational Pre-school indicating the area may be designated as a Historical Site. Mrs. Ruth Chapman, 8 Sierra Way, Chula Vista, representing the Cook School PTA Committee stated they would like some help in reconstructing and renovating the playground and getting new equipment. As to Councilman Malcolm's question as to money coming from State lotteries, Mrs. Chapman said that the school district would only help with the sprinkler system on the playground. City Council Meeting - 5 - June 18, 1985 Mr. John Rindone, representing the Boys and Girls Club presented a number of displays in which he explained a proposal for a combined Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors which would result in an increase in the number of programs, better programs, and a reduction in overhead. He listed the contributions received from various organizations, such as United Way, for both the Boys and Girls Club indicating most of the money is going toward salaries. As of June 1984, for the Oleander facility, contributions amounted to $736,048; special projects $25,278; in-kind services $116,340 and interest income $70,634 for a grand total of $948,300. Mr. Rindone discussed the cost projections for the Boys and Girls Club and presented two proposals: Plan 'A" - the City to fund $500,000 and "B" - the City to fund $250,000 and loan the Boys and Girls Club $250,000 interest free loan for ten years. Mrs. June Brines, representing Jobs for Youth asked for the approval of $2,500 in order to pay the salary of Mrs. Sears (director) presently earning $100 a month to increase it to $~5~ a ~/5~ month and $20 for the telephone plus the cost of supplies. Mrs. Blanca Bystrack, 24 Tourmaline Street, Chula Vista referred to the petition she submitted to the Planning Commission to get traffic signals installed on Max and Orange Avenues and requested allocations of funds for this purpose. Mrs. Bess Pocklington, 656 Glover Place, Chula Vista, asked whether money has been allocated for the bleachers for the Chula Vista High School. City Manager Goss said he is not recommending money for the bleachers from the City's General Fund. He discussed with the Council that once the bond indentures are paid up in the redevelopment area, the money coming in after that could be used for certain School facilities grants. There being no further comments either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. The Councilmembers discussed the funding for the Boys and Girls Club - ($500,000). Councilman Malcolm declared he did not want to give them the one-half million dollars but would be in favor of giving them $50,000 seed money up-front to get their plans ready for construction. The money which he would favor allocating would be only on a matching fund basis. MS (Malcolm/Moore) to set up a fund on a matching fund basis for the Boys and Girls Club to a maximum of one-quarter million dollars and that the City fund $50,000 as up-front seed money to start the project up. City Council Meeting 6 June 18, 1985 Council discussion followed: Councilman Moore supporting the motion since the Boys and Girls Clubs would now be a combined project which will save money in the long-run. If the money was not forthcoming, the project could go on for the next 10 or 15 years. Councilman Scott noted the efforts made by the City in the past for the Boys and Girls Clubs - the City donated the land for the facility. He said he was in favor of supporting the $250,000 no-interest loan; however, the funds should be allocated in a more deliberate manner. The staff should get all the figures, plans, find out exactly what the cost will be and have this report come back to the Council along with will happen to the facility on Fifth and "I" Street. Mayor Cox stated he is in favor of some support for the Boys and Girls Club noting that if the facility was not built in that area, the City would in all probability, have to build a recreation area similar to that of Loma Verde. He cannot support the motions on the floor - the outright grant of $250,000. He noted the South Bay YMCA has approached the Gersten Company to donate land for their facility and they will be coming to the Council for financial assistance along with all other worthy organizations in the community. He can support a loan as proposed; but he would tie it into an incentive type program. He is concerned that once the money is given to the Boys and Girls Club they would not be committed to any fund raising until the money is completely spent. The Mayor added there should be some heavy involvement on the part of the staff as to monitoring the program; perhaps even some supervision which could lower the cost of the facility; how the funds will be dispersed and what will happen to the property at Fifth and "I" Street. They should be able to go ahead with their architectural plans and get it packaged together to go out to bid. SUBSTITUTE MOTION MSUC (Scott/Cox) to endorse a loan to the Boys and Girls Club in concept ($250,000) and the details to be worked out by staff in regard to the comments made by the Mayor and the City Council. Councilwoman McCandliss stated she is abstaining due to a conflict of interest: she is a member of the Board of the Girls Club. In answer to the Council's query, City Attorney Harron explained that the motion to approve the loan in concept means only appropriating the money but not expending it. Councilman Scott noted that although this was not a legal commitment, it is a moral one. Mr. Rindone asked whether any release of the money could be given at this time. Mayor Cox remarked the Council had approved $30,000 to the Boys Club from the Block Grant Funds and this could be made available on July 1. City Council Meeting - 7 - June 18, 1985 Level I - City Manager Recommendations: A.

B. Level 2 Buyer in Purchasing Div. of finance Department $26,660 Const. & Repair Specialist II in Pub. Wks. 29,610 TOTAL RECOMMENDED BY MANAGER 56,270 Councilwoman McCandliss asked for more information concerning the two positions noting reserves should be spent on a one-time basis and this would be an on-going expenditure. Councilman Scott agreed asking why they were not approved in the regular budget. Director of Finance Christopher explained the justification asking for the buyer position. He noted the workload of the present purchasing agent who does not have the time to go out and investigate new sources of supplies nor keep abreast of new market conditions - a buyer could do that thereby saving the City money in the long run. Councilwoman McCandliss stated she could go along with them on a trial basis to see whether or not there would be benefits given to the City. She asked that attention be given to those two positions so that a report could be given on evaluation at budget time. City Council Meeting - 8 - June 18, 1985 MSC (Moore/Malcolm) to approve Level 2 as recommended by the City Manager. Councilman Scott voted ~no". CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAMS Mayor Cox moved that a funding of $117,000 be provided to put in the landscaping median island east of 1-805 on Telegraph Canyon Road. The motion died for lack of second. COOK SCHOOL PLAYGROUND Councilman Moore stated that the playground is being utilized as a park area - the nearest park being Hilltop Park. Therefore, he feels the Council should look into some support for it and he is willing to fund from $4,000-$5,000. Councilwoman McCandliss indicated it was appropriate for the City to support the playground in some part but she is not directly in favor of the $5,000. She is looking for a larger funding from the school district and PTA. MS (Moore/Malcolm) to approve $5,000. Discussion of the motion followed with Councilman Scott commenting the problem he has is whether or not this particular school is the one in need - there are many schools in the City which may have similar needs. He cannot support making outright grants to the schools and will not vote for this one. Mayor Cox said the motion will set a precedent - there will be other proposals from PTA'S next year. Block Grant funds have been used in the past to put in parks next to school areas in the City; other schools are in need of playground equipment also; there are 28 schools in the district, 24 in Chula Vista; suggested a three-way deal to provide ~2,500 with a stipulation that there be matching funds from the PTA, the school and the City. Councilman Moore stated he will add this three-way funding to the motion; Councilman Malcolm agreed to the second. Councilman Moore declared the allocation should be based on the fact that it is used as a public park and it is in a remote area used extensively by the youth. Councilman Scott voted "no". JOBS FOR YOUTH MSUC (Cox/Scott ) to approve the funding of $2,500 for Jobs for Youth. Councilman Moore noted the MAAC program which also provides jobs for youth and felt the city should get in touch with them to coordinate the programs. City Council Meeting - 9 - June 18, 1985 In answer to Councilman Malcolm's question, Community Development Director Desrochers stated that he will look into the specific facts of National City funding $100,000 out of redevelopment funds for their high school. He added most of the City of National City has been placed in redevelopment areas and this is perhaps why the money has been allocated. MSUC (Moore/Scott) to approve all of the amendments to the budget. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent. City Manager Goss asked that the motion for offering the resolution be continued until Thursday (following the Redevelopment Agency meeting) at which time he will bring back all of the revised figures to the Council. Councilman Moore withdrew his offer of the resolution. MSUC (Cox/Malcolm) to continue the public hearing on the budget until after the Redevelopment Agency meeting on June 20, 1985. 6. PUBLIC HEARING ESTABLISHING AN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1986 (Director of Finance) a. RESOLUTION 12050 ADOPTING AN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1986 This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. Article XIIIB of the California Constitution specifies that appropriations financed from "Proceeds of Taxes" may increase annually by the change in population of the city and the change in the U. S. Consumer Price Index or California per capita personal income, whichever is less. The CPI increased by 3.74% while personal income rose 7.92%. Therefore, the CPI factor is used. Based On data from the State Department of Finance, the 1985-86 appropriation limit has been calculated as follows: Fiscal Year 1984-85 Appropriation Limit $25,036,238 Increase by the March to March U. S. All Urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) x 1.0374 (3.74%) Increase by the Population Change in Chula Vista from January 1, 1984, to January 1, 1985 x 1.0146 (1.46%) FISCAL YEAR 1985-86 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT $26,351,793 City Council Meeting - 10 - June 18, 1985 There being no comments either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 7. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR LAS FLORES, CHULA VISTA TRACT 82-7 - Harold West (Director of Planning) a. RESOLUTION 12051 APPROVING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR LAS FLORES, CHULA VISTA TRACT 82-7 Councilman Scott stated he has a potential conflict of interest. One of his clients (who is a source of more than $250,000 last year) lives either in or just outside of the area so he is abstaining from the discussion and voting. Councilman Scott left the dais at this time. This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. Director of Planning Krempl stated that the applicant has resubmitted a tentative subdivision map known as Las Flores, Chula Vista Tract 82-7, in order to subdivide 5.4 acres located between the extension of Las Flores Drive and Minot Avenue north of "D" Street into 22 single family residential lots. The previous tentative map--subdividing five of the subject acres into 20 single-family lots was approved by the City Council in 1982 but was allowed to expire. The Planning Commission recommended approval in accordance with their Resolution PCS-82-7 (Revised). Council discussion followed regarding the 7 and 8 panhandle lots; and the question of why the developer is not putting in the street improvements instead of the assessment district. Harold West, one of the developers of the properties stated that this has now been going on for seven years. They include just property owners who want to develop their back lots. Mr. West noted the high fees charged by the school district and the requirement of the six-foot dedication for street improvements. Mr. West stated the property owners should not have to put in the street improvements - it should be the responsibility of the City. In answer to Council's querries, Mr. John Lippitt, Director of Public Works explained that deferrals had been called up in the area and discussed the CIP project which has been approved to install the traffic lanes. City Council Meeting - 11 June 18, 1985 There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed. Councilman Moore noted the development will open up to more traffic and there will be streets without sidewalks which may lead to some potential liability to the City. Mr. Lippitt stated that the City does not have the ability to require the subdivider to put in the offsite facilities - the Council can however, expand the assessment district; the City can put in the improvements; or the developer can put in the improvements with a reimbursement district. Councilman Malcolm felt the staff should look over the ordinance which allows the panhandle lots. He asked for an added condition to be put in the improvements on the west end of Minot up to Second Avenue - (curbs, gutters and sidewalks). Councilman Malcolm asked for a further condition to be put on the map for a reimbursement district. He added the timing is bad for this development since once the Sweetwater Flood Control Project goes in these areas will be removed from the 100 year flood plain. MSUC (Malcolm/Cox) to direct staff to call up all the deferrals in the area on those parcels. The intent is to.put in curbs, gutters and sidewalks from Second Avenue down to Las Flores connecting it on the west end of the street to the project and for the City to form a reimbursement district (for those parcels that do not have deferrals). City Attorney Harron noted that a reimbursement district can only be established after a public hearing. Mayor Cox asked that a public hearing be scheduled by the staff and report back on the cost of putting in the public improvements. (Councilman Scott returned to the dais). A recess was called at 10:10 and the meeting reconvened at 10:20 p.m. In the absence of the Mayor, Vice Mayor Malcolm presided over the meeting, noting that No. 8 will be trailed until the Mayor arrives. 9. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (None) Mayor Cox arrived at this time. 8. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR DEFERRAL OF UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES AT 364-368 PARK WAY (Director of Public Works/City Engineer) a. RESOLUTION 12052 APPROVING DEFERRAL OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AT 364-368 PARK WAY City Council Meeting - 12 - June 18, 1985 This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public hearing. Director of Public Works/City Engineer Lippitt explained that Mr. Thom Sanders, owner of the property at 364-368 Park Way is building an 8-unit condominium project at this site. According to Section 15.32,020 of the Municipal Code, any existing overhead utilities within the subdivision boundary must be placed underground. Presently, existing are a 12 KV distribution line and a telephone cable running within a 10-foot easement parallel with the rear property line (120 linear feet). The poles are centered approximately 2 feet north of the southerly (rear) property line. Mr. Ronald Parker of Phillips-Reynolds Engineering, Inc., acting as agent for the owner, applied for a waiver of undergrounding requirements. Staff is not recommending the waiver be granted in this case. If, in the future, an undergrounding district is formed in this area, this portion of the overhead lines must be converted also. Therefore, a deferral is recommended. There being no comments either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES, FIRST READING 10. RESOLUTION 12053 ANNOUNCING ITS INTENTION TO NOT APPROVE ANY DENSITY BONUSES ON SENIOR HOUSING PROJECTS FOR 180 DAYS (City Attorney) At its May 28, 1985 meeting, the City Council requested that staff study the application of density bonuses to senior housing projects. Council directed staff to bring back a resolution announcing its intention to refuse any density bonuses for senior housing projects during the six-month interim period while this issue is studied. Section 19.58.390 of the City Code gives Council the latitude to grant these density bonuses and to waive parking requirements for senior projects. Since the grant of these bonuses or waivers is discretionary, Council may refuse them without violating anyone's "vested" rights. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. City Council Meeting - 13 - June 18, 1985 11. ORDINANCE 2114 APPROVING THE AMENDMENT TO THE EL RANCHO DEL REY SPECIFIC PLAN CASE NO.

MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to continue this ordinance for one week. Councilman Malcolm noted that the out parcels were not given consideration at the last public hearing and they should be reconsidered with a waiver of the fees. MSUC (Moore/Scott) for staff to schedule a public hearing to consider the E1 Rancho del Rey Specific Plan out-parcels at a time equitable to staff and applicants and for a waiver of the fees. 12. URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE 2115 SECTION 2.05.020 REQUIRING FINGERPRINTING OF DRIVERS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS OPERATED FOR THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA - FIRST READING AND ADOPTION (Director of Public Works/City Engineer) The City of Chula Vista provides local public transportation service on Chula Vista Transit and HandYtrans. The City contracts with the South Coast Organization Operating Transit (SCOOT), a joint powers agency between the City and County of San Diego, for CVT service. SCOOT in turn contracts with a private contractor for CVT operation. The City of Chula Vista contracts directly with a private firm for HandYtrans operation. Under the existing Municipal Code, neither CVT nor HandYtrans drivers are subject to a fingerprinting and background check as a condition of employment. This amendment to the Code would require both Chula Vista Transit and HandYtrans drivers to be fingerprinted as a condition of employment, as are City of Chula Vista employees. MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to place the ordinance on first reading and adoption. The reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 13. ORDINANCE 2116 AMENDING CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.04.150 RELATING TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR FOR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS - FIRST READING (Assistant City Attorney) City Council Meeting - 14 - June 18, 1985 On May 21, 1985, the City Council requested that the City Attorney's office review the Chula Vista Municipal Code to determine whether or not all matters before the City Council except for oral and written communications could be placed on the Consent Calendar for Council consideration. A review of Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.04.150 indicates that said section as currently worded limits those items which may be placed on the Consent Calendar. The City Attorney's office has prepared an amendment to Section 2.04.150 which provides flexibility, but does not require, for items to be placed on the Consent Calendar. MSUC (Scott/Malcolm) to place the ordinance on first reading, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 14. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER (None) REPORT OF CITY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS 15.
