This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared
the Rublic hearing open.
Councilman Malcolm stated that although he is a sublessee on the
subject property and is awaiting an official ruling from the FPPC
regarding a potential conflict of interest, he will abstain from
voting on this item and left the dais.
National Avenue Associates, lessee of the property located
southwest of the intersection of Fifth Avenue and "B" Street,
would like to acgept fill from the Corps/Caltrans Highway 54
project. Since future development on the site will require a
large amount of imported fill to bring the property up to the
level of the adjacent roadways, the applicant would like to take
advantage of the available fill material.
Jerald Alford, 2743 Fourth Avenue, San Diego 92103, representing
National Avenue Associates, requested Council approval of this
permit.
There being no further testimony either for or against, the public
hearing was closed.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILWOMAN McCANDLISS, the reading of the
text was waived by unanimous consent.
Councilman Moore remarked if Live Steamers expands its operation
as a result of the Rohr Park Master Plan, they may require
additional fill. He questioned if staff is taking advantage of
fill available in certain City projects (i.e., Bayfront Trolley
Station).
In response, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Lippitt stated
he was unaware of Live Steamers' situation but bidders on the 1-54
project have been encouraged to provide fill for the Las Flores
project.
The motion to approve the resolution passed with Councilman
Malcolm abstaining.
14. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REQUEST BY EASTLAKE

(Continued from 8/5/86)(Director of
Planning)
MINUTES - 7 - September 2, 1986
ORDINANCE 2166 AMENDING THE EASTLAKE I PLANNED COMMUNITY
DISTRICT REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY THE CITY
PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE NO. 2103 - FIRST
READING
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared
the public hearing open.
The EastLake Development Company has filed a request to amend the
EastLake I Planned Community District Regulations in order to
reduce the required side yard setbacks from 10' and 3' to 5' and
5' for single family dwellings offering 3-car garages in the RS-5
Residential District.
This item was continued by the Council from the meeting of August
5, 1986, in order for staff to bring back specifics on which lots
would be effected by the proposed amendment.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that the
proposal is exempt from environmental review as a Class 5(a)
Exemption.
On July 9, 1986, the Planning Commission recommended the City
Council adopt the amendment for no more than one-third of the lots
in the RS-5 District.
It was recommended Council place the ordinance on First Reading to
approve the amendment subject to the following conditions:
1. The sideyard reduction from 10' and 3' to 5' and 5' for 3-car
garage plans shall apply to Lots 11, 18, 24, 31, 36 and 38 of
Unit 18 and Lots 52, 55, 57, 61, 63 and 68 of Unit 19 of Chula
Vista Tract 84-9.
2. A 3' level area shall be maintained between the dwelling and
toe-of-slope on the reduced sideyard lots, and a minimum of
10' shall be maintained between dwellings.
Planning Director Krempl added this item identifies lots affected
by setbacks; 12 out of 187 lots in the RS zoning district, or 7%,
will be affected by this request; staff feels this is an allowable
request; recommended approval subject to conditions.
In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss' concerns, Director Krempl
noted 3-car garages in the project do not appear different than
other homes in the area; houses are sizable so relationship of the
homes are not prominent; three feet would allow access to the
owner in case maintenance of the homes is necessary; a separation
requirement has been made between homes; three-foot level area on
either side is allowed.
MINUTES - 8 - September 2, 1986
Director Krempl suggested for clarification, condition 2 of the
staff recommendation be changed as follows: "A 3' level area
shall be maintained between the dwelling and toe-of-slope on each
of the lots, and a minimum of 10' shall be maintained between
dwellings.
Assistant City Attorney Gill advised this clarification be
incorporated as an amendment to the ordinance.
MSUC (Moore/Campbell) amend the ordinance (as suggested by the
Planning Director).
MS (Cox/Campbell) place the ordinance on first reading, as
amended, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent.
Councilwoman McCandliss stated she opposed the ordinance citing
the amount of planning for this area; clarification necessary to
allow 3-car garages; advance planning should be made to provide
3-car garages; no reason to allow this request; five foot on
either side is not enough.
Councilman Moore also expressed his opposition questioning
last-minute changes such as these.
The motion to place the ordinance on first reading, as amended,
passed by the following vote:
AYES: Cox, Campbell, Malcolm
NOES: McCandliss, Moore
ABSENT: None
15. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None.
PULLED ITEMS FROM CONSENT CALENDAR
4. RESOLUTION 12700 APPROVING THE 'IMPLEMENTATION OF A NE~
GROUP HEALTH AND LIFE INSURANCE PLAN FOR
CITY EMPLOYEES FROM MONY (MUTUAL OF NEW
YORK) FOR THE PLAN YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER
1, 1986 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1987
(Acting Director of Personnel)
Earlier this year, the City Council authorized staff to explore
alternative group health and life insurance plans. Because health
insurance benefits are subject to "Meet and Confer," a Health
Insurance Committee was formed to assist staff in the selection of
a consultant to review health insurance proposals. Acting on the
recommendation of staff and that committee, the City entered into
a consulting agreement with Warren, McVeigh and Griffin, Inc., on
February 18, 1986.
MINUTES 9 September 2, 1986
Six health insurance providers responded to Requests for Proposals
and the consultant's primary recommendation is that the City
change its health insurance carrier from Travelers to MONY.
In answer to Council's questions, City Manager Goss noted the cost
for MONY is lower than Travelers' charged last year; City has
option to go out to bid again next year if MONY increases rates;
described "stop loss" provision in MONY plan.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
7. RESOLUTION 12701 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA AND INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT
SERVICES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PAVEMENT
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND STREET STRUCTURAL
INVENTORY FOR THE MONTGOMERY AREA,
APPROPRIATING FUNDS FROM THE
UNAPPROPRIATED GAS TAX FUND, AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID
AGREEMENT (Director of Public Works/City
Engineer)
In December 1985, Council approved a project to develop an
inventory of street conditions and a pavement management system
forthe Montgomery area. The proposal was to develop an inventory
of all 90 lane miles of streets; evaluate the pavement condition;
determine rehabilitation and maintenance strategies and
priorities; and devise a software system with the ability to
assess, document, and update the condition of the entire street
network on a perpetual basis.
The estimated total project cost is $43,550. The Gas Tax project
budget includes $22,000 for the Montgomery Street Inventory under
Account Number 250-2501-GT205. It was recommended Council
appropriate the additional $21,550 from the unappropriated
Montgomery Gas Tax fund balance.
In response to Councilman Moore's concern regarding use of gas tax
funds for studies, City Manager Goss declared this expenditure was
justified, noting SB 300 monies will supplement the Gas Tax Fund.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
8. RESOLUTION 12702 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR EASTLAKE
GREENS/ACTIVITY CORRIDOR PLAN (Director of
Planning)
MINUTES - 10 - September 2, 1986
This agreement with Bud Gray, Planning Consultant, and EastLake
Development Company, a California partnership, is for temporary
professional planning assistance. The assistance will allow the
City to process, in a timely fashion, planning documents for the
911-acre EastLake Greens/Activity Corridor for land generally
between Telegraph Canyon Road and Orange Avenue Extended and
easterly of future SR #125.
It was recommended Council waive the Consultant Selection Policy
and approve the agreement authorizing the Mayor to sign on behalf
of the City Council.
Director Krempl, in answer to Councilman Malcolm's questions,
stated the golf course community was not contemplated with
EastLake I or II concept plans; developer is maintaining the same
number of dwelling units as on the previous plan, therefore, the
density increases; approximately 2,500 dwelling units anticipated
but no commitment made by the City; density will be constant;
planning is at preliminary stage with nothing submitted to the
City at this time.
Councilman Malcolm expressed concern with staff's reluctance to
process westerly developments (i.e., United Enterprises property)
and that no guarantees have been made. In response, City Manager
Goss remarked staff is not reluctant to process such developments
and suggested a workshop be scheduled to establish priorities for
City growth.
Director Krempl added the only commitment made on the. EastLake
Greens project is for the number of dwelling units reflected in
the approved SPA on EastLake I.
Councilwoman McCandliss cautioned there is no reason to accelerate
development in this area at the sacrifice of good planning.
Director Krempl reiterated the recommendation was to withhold
processing developments until the General Plan is updated.
Discussion ensued regarding the role of the consultant with
Director Krempl noting Mr. Gray's duties as a project coordinator
for the general plan update as his first priority.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text
was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
city Manager Goss noted the next two items being considered for
future Council Conferences include processing development
proposals in the eastern sector of the City and ways to shorten
City Council meetings.
MINUTES 11 - September 2, 1986
9. RESOLUTION 12703 APPROPRIATING FUNDS AND AUTHORIZING
EXPENDITURES FOR ADDITIONAL STAFF AND
EQUIPMENT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
(Director of Public Safety/Deputy City
Manager)
During the June budget workshops, staff indicated that a mid-year
supplemental appropriation for additional patrol staff would
definitely be required if the workload data continued at the
higher rates then being experienced. At the June 5, 1986 budget
workshop, Council instructed staff to report back to the Council
on the workload trends and the staffing needs of the Patrol
Section not later than the end of September. Subsequently, on
June 17, 1986, Council budgeted an additional $250,000 for
possible increases in Police staffing, pending the completion of
staff's review.
The review has found that the initial increases in call for
service workload have held up over time and that substantial
staffing and equipment increases are needed in the Police
Department's Patrol Section.to effectively handle this workload.
Specifically, it is recommended that 14 Peace Officers, 2
Community Service Officers and 2 Communications Operators be added
to the Patrol Section's budget for FY 86-87, along with the
necessary support equipment.
The total cost of the recommended additions to the Police budget
is ~744,890. Of this amount, the Council has previously
appropriated $250,000, which was frozen pending this report.
Thus, an additional ~494,890 is recommended to be appropriated
from the unappropriated balance of the General Fund to implement
this report's recommendations. Of this additional amount,
~187,240 is attributable to the recently annexed area and ~307,650
to the pre-annexation City.
It was recommended the City Council:
1. Authorize expenditure of the $250,000 which was budgeted
for Police staffing contingencies;
2. Appropriate and authorize expenditure of an additional
$494,890 from the unappropriated balance of the General
Fund for additional staff and equipment, including
~187,240 allocatable to Montgomery and ~307,650
allocatable to the pre-annexation City.
Discussion followed concerning standards established (field time
vs. on-call time vs. report time) in the PSO study; comparison of
proposed interim automation to other cities; Chula Vista does not
currently have an adequate database to support the formula;
proposed formula is not "utopia"; need experience with this new
formula.
MINUTES 12 - September 2, 1986
The following individuals urged Council approval: Phil Scheuer,
1319 Costa Avenue, Chula Vista 92011; Penny Allen, 666 Mariposa
Circle, Chula Vista 92011; Tim Nader, 260 Davidson Street, Chula
Vista 92010; Pat Barajas, 375 J" Street, Chula Vista.
Their comments included: report is a positive step towards goal
to provide adequate police protection in Chula Vista; police
officers sometimes must release individuals committing
misdemeanors in order to respond to emergency calls; large amount
of crime related to drugs; suggested legislation be pursued urging
stricter drug laws; seek support at the League of Cities
convention; questioned lack of motorcycle officers.
In answer to Councilman Malcolm's question, Deputy City Manager
Thomson reported average of 22% of police officers spend their
time in the field, however this varies by squad. With additional
employees, it is projected field officers' time will increase to
31%.
Mayor Cox discussed the lack of jail facilities to house criminals
once they are apprehended; t h e City may be doing nothing
more than providing a momentary breakdown of criminals' patterns;
more cooperation necessary from citizens to keep crime down.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MAYOR COX, the reading of the text was
waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
16. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER
a. City Manager Goss announced that item #8 will be scheduled for

congestion in the City of Chula Vista and how that would
inter-relate with existing traffic study.
MINUTES - 14 September 2, 1986
Councilman Campbell suggested included in the motion should be

Councilman Malcolm, the second concurred to this addition, and the
motion passed unanimously.
e. C~uncilman Malcolm discussed a State Assembly Bill (Chacon)
regarding prohibiting building moratorium on attached and
detached single-family homes which is awaiting the Governor's

decisions.
f. Councilwoman McCandliss expressed concern that the Safety
