REPORT REGARDING 1982 PARKING FACILITY CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE AMOUNT OF ~4,055,000 (Director of Finance) In December 1982, the City of Chula Vista issued ~4,055,000 Certificates of Participation in order to construct the three-level parking facility in the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area. The Certificates were for a term of 20 years bearing interest from 7.50% to 11.40%. Tax exempt interest rates are currently lower than when the Certificates were originally sold, thus it may be financially advantageous for the City to refund the 1982 Certificates of Participation. The recommendation was that staff be authorized to implement the consultant selection process to hire a financial consultant/underwriter to assist in possible refunding of 1982 Certificates of Participation. 20. REPORT ON CHULA VISTA TRANSIT FARE STRUCTURE CHANGE EFFECTIVE JANUARY !, 1987 (Director of Public Works/City Engineer) Pulled from Consent Calendar. Minutes - 7 October 14, 1986 21. REPORT ON "H" STREET TROLLEY STATION RESTROOM AND CONCESSION FACILITY (Director of Public Works/City Engineer) At its meeting on November 12, 1985, Council directed staff to request MTDB to install a portable toilet at the "H" Street Trolley Station and to work with MTDB toward the development of a permanent restroom facility at the station. The portable toilet was placed at the station in December 1985. In February 1986, MTDB contracted with a consulting firm to investigate the feasibility of developing a concession facility, with restrooms, at the "H" Street Station. The study concludes that development of a commercial concession facility with restrooms by a private party is feasible under certain conditions. The study also recommends that the MTDB issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to interested parties for development of this facility. It was noted, however, that the study conclusions and market analysis were based on certain assumptions; therefore, willingness of a private entity to develop a concession facility is somewhat speculative at this time. The recommendation was that Council request the MTDB to prepare and issue an RFP for development of a concession facility with restrooms at the "H" Street Trolley Station subject to the certain considerations. 22. REPORT CHILDREN'S ASTHMA LEAGUE OF GREATER SAN DIEGO REQUEST TO CONDUCT A BIKE-A-THON (Director of Parks & Recreation) The Bike for Breath will be conducted on Sunday, February 11, 1987, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The route which will begin and finish at Rohr Park will be coordinated by members of the South Bay and Bonita Optimist Clubs.

RESOLUTION 12773 ESTABLISHING OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 15 This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared the public hearing open. Director of Public Works/City Engineer Lippitt reported that the Tentative and Final Subdivision Maps for Bonita Haciendas were approved by the City Council with the understanding that open space lots "A" through "D" inclusive would be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association. After the original developers went bankrupt, Bonita Long Canyon Partnership purchased the property and has submitted a letter of petition requesting the formation of an open space maintenance district. Bonita Long Canyon Partnership has submitted a grant deed to the City conveying ownership of Lots "A," "B," and "D" of Bonita Haciendas to the City for public open space lots. Lot "C" will be a private mini-park maintained by the Homeowners Association. Staff recommended the City Council accept title to these three lots for open space purposes concurrent with the resolution forming Open Space Maintenance District No. 15. Mr. Ken Baumgardner, representing McMillin Development stated he was there to answer questions and that they agree with the staff recommendations. In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss ' query, Director Lippitt stated the open space areas presented no problems with encroachments by individuals for development of their lots. There being no further testimony either for or against, the public hearing was closed. In response to Council's questions, Mr. Baumgardner explained that most of the open space areas are in their natural state. Other areas are landscaped with low maintenance type shrubs and there is an irrigation system in place. RESOLUTIONS OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the texts was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 24. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS a. Reverend Bob Flaugher, 1100 Industrial Blvd, space 1-10, reported on his trip to Sacramento and presented the Council with a summary of the 1986 California Senior Legislative Bills. Rev. Flaugher discussed and urged Council to support the National Senior Citizens Health Program. Minutes 9 October 14, 1986 ~. Jan Perdue, 902 Buckaroo Court, Bonita 92002, referred to the Council's action at the last meeting changing the motion relating to the mail ballot election on selling open space areas. The previous action taken on September 23 was that it would represent 50% + 1 of the entire nomeowners in order for Council to consider setling the open space. However, at the last meeting, Council changed this to 50% + 1 of those ballots returned from the homeowners. Mayor Cox explained the concurrence of the Council on this, noting it was an informational item and not placed as an agenda item. Councilman Malcolm indicated he felt the Council was wrong in changing their decision on this, the entire matter needs stringent conditions since the Council does not want to sell open space if at all possible. Councilwoman McCandliss said she would be looking toward the number of ballots returned; if there was a very low percentage of ballots returned, she would want to know why those homeowners neglected to turn in their ~allots, or whether, in fact, they received the ballots. David Smith, .334 Camino Elevado, Chula Vista, agreed with Mrs. Perdue and explained the CC&R's and State law involved in private open space maintained by homeowners. If only one person out of 400 opposed the issue, the matter would stop right there. Mr. Smith further questioned the terminology of the grading deviation policy and urged Council to readdress the entire issue. c. W. Scott Frazier, 444 Anita Street, Chula Vista questioned the Council not funding the Del Rey High School nutritional program this year. He noted the meals have gone up from $1.20 per person to $1.50 per person. Mayor Cox responded that the Council did not receive a request for funds from the high school. They chose not to submit it because of the bookkeeping requirements. Community Development Director Desrochers concurred that the request was withdrawn from the high school because the staff had asked for income verification from their clients. The staff also offered to assist them in this bookkeeping procedure but they chos~ not to ask for any funds. MSUC (McCandliss/Cox) to refer this matter to staff and report back as to the criteria for this past budget year and also to get something in writing from the school district. Minutes - 10 October 14, 1986 PULLED ITEMS 4. RESOLUTION 12774 REJECTING BIDS FOR "J" STREET MEDIAN RECONSTRUCTION BETWEEN BROADWAY AND I-5 FREEWAY IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ((Director of Public Works/City Engineer/Director of Planning) The work proposed for this project includes demolition, salvage, irrigation and planting, and concrete flatwork in the existing median island between Broadway and I-5 Freeway. The proposal was put out to bid three times. The third time bids were received on July 30, 1986, as follows: Valley Crest Landscape, San Diego I143,186.00 Lindo Engineering Co., La Mesa 131,772.00 Both of these bids still well exceed the Engineer's estimate of $74,500. Staff recommended that the bids be rejected, plans revised and the project combined with other landscape proposals. In answer to Councilman Campbell's question, Mr. Lippitt explained the reason why a previous bidder did not respond to the present bid. Councilman Moore suggested that when construction is really good and there is no rush that perhaps the bids could be held in abeyance until such time as the construction is at a low peak and that way the City may be able to get a better price on their bids. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN CAMPBELL, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 5. RESOLUTION 12775 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH IRENE SAPER FOR PREPARATION OF THE CHULA VISTA SOCIAL SERVICES PLAN AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT (Continued from meeting of October 7, 1986)(Community Development Director) At the meeting of May 13, 1986, the Council approved the 1986-87 budget for the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Included in that approved budget was ~6,000 for a Social Services Plan for the City. Prospective consultants for organizing and writing the plan have been evaluated by the Commission on Aging and the Human Relations Commission, who chose are recommending approval of a contract with Irene Saper for coordination and writing of the Social Services Plan. Minutes 11 - October 14, 1986 The 1986-87 CDBG budget already includes ~6,000 designated for the Social Services Plan in account #635 6350 BG203. The amount is sufficient to cover consultant costs. Sufficient additional funds are in the Block Grant Administration account #634 6340 BG200 to cover staff and overhead costs involved with the project. Ann Hedenkamp, 515 Second Avenue, a member of the Chula Vista Welfare Council, stated she was surprised when she read that the Council was going to execute an agreement for the services of a consultant in the amount of $6,000 for this study. She declared that the social services agencies in the City were not notified that this was going to be brought up on the Council agenda. She could not see why the Council would want to spend $6,000 on this type of program since that amount of money would feed a number of families. She aske~ that Council put this on "hold" until a further study could be made. Councilwoman McCandliss explained the consultant would only report on the number, amount and types of social services in the City and she would not be coordinating the social services. Alec Pressuitti, 917 Nolan Way, Chair of the Commission on Aging, stated it was a request from their commission. One of the first things to be done under the study would be to establish a Task Force and Mrs. Hedenkamp may well be on the Task Force. Right now the only thing to do is appropriate the ~6,000 in order to start the program. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 7. RESOLUTION 12776 APPROVING CONTRACT WITH GERALD S. KIBBEY & ASSOCIATES, INC.

The property is located outside the Town Centre Redevelopment Project Area (vicinity) and two lots down from the Greg Rogers Historical House. Gerald S. Kibbey & Associates, Inc. has submitted a contract for $1,000 for a narrative appraisal report which can be completed within 60 days. This fee is considered to be reasonable. Councilwoman McCandliss indicated her concern in going ahead with the appraisal; however, before the house is purchased, she would like to see some kind of policy established to proceed with the historical park. If the City buys the home, the question will be is it going to be torn down, is it going to be rented, is it going to go on to property management? There are many questions that need to be answered before the establishment of this park. Minutes - 12 - October 14, 1986 Councilman Malcolm asked why the City is hiring an appraiser who is an MIA rather than just a bank appraiser. Staff is asking Council to appropriate over ~1,000 for this appraisal whereby it should cost no more than ~150-175. MSUC (Malcolm/McCandliss) to amend the resolution to state that the amount for the appraisal will be no more than $200. RESOLUTION, AS AMENDED, OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 10a.RESOLUTION 12777 CONDITIONALLY APPROVING FINAL MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 82-11, RIO OTAY INDUSTRIAL PARK (18 COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL LOTS (Director of PUDliC Works/City Engineer) b.

All conditions of approval placed upon the Tentative Map have been met. The developers have paid all fees and submitted all required documents and have executed a Subdivision Improvement Agreement. Approval of the Map constitutes acceptance of tree planting and maintenance easements within the subdivision and acceptance on behalf of the public of Delniso Court, Roma Court and a portion of Otay Valley Road as shown on the Final Map. In addition to being responsible for the construction of improvements in Otay Valley Road under the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and guaranteeing by posting of bonds, the developers have suDmitted a petition for the formation of an improvement district for the widening and improvement of Otay Valley Road. They have also executed an agreement wherein they agree to not oppose formation of such a district or to the formation of a district for the purpose o~ increasing the sewer capacity for the Otay Valley. Minutes - 13 - October 14, 1986 Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the dates of execution on the agreement coming to the City Council. City Attorney Harron stated that the official date should be the day the Council approves the documents. Councilman Malcolm suggested that the lots - such as lot 4 which is not a buildable lot, be so marked on the map. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 13. RESOLUTION 12779 ACCEPTING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS - ASPHALT CONCRETE OVERLAY, 1985-86 PROGRAM VARIOUS STREETS (Director of Public Works/City Engineer) R. E.

The savings is attributable to using a pavement engineering fabric between the old pavement and the new overlay known as a SAMI (Stress Absorbing Membrane Interl.~yment). Director of Public Works/City Engineer Lippitt explained to Council the other roads in the City which have the same type of asphalt/concrete overlay such as the area on Third Avenue between "K" and "L" and on Bonita Road. He added that under certain conditions, this type of improvement adds a certain amount of potential strength; it will be beneficial and is cost effective. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously. 18. REPORT REGARDING TAXABLE REVENUE BONDS (Director of Finance) Minutes 14 - October 14, 1986 Newman and Associates, an investment banking company from Denver, Colorado, submitted a proposal suggesting the City discuss the possible financial advantages and feasibility of doing a taxable bond issue as opposed to the tax exempt market traditionally used by governmental entities. Director of Finance Christopher stated he discussed this concept with the City's bond counsel of Jones, Hall, Hill and White and they are of the preliminary opinion that there are no legal obstacles standing in the way of the City utilizing this concept as a means of raising revenue. The recommendation was for staff to initiate the process of a taxable bond sale and before a final commitment is made by the City to sell the bonds and to: 1. Evaluate the technical aspects of the proposed sale and; 2. Consider any policy issues concerning this proposed sale. Director Christopher responded to Council's questions regarding the fact that because Chula Vista is a Charter City, it may have some weight on its ability to enter into this type of issue; if the market is flooded by requests from a number of other cities for this issue, then it would tend to correct itself and the opportunity to earn the spread on this arbitrage would probably be eliminated; the issue is done on a first come first serve basis. Councilman Malcolm acknowledged it was his recommendation the City consider this. With the revenues coming out of this issue (about ~.5 million a year), he would like to see the City hire a specific person to work on all the on and off ramps throughout the City; improve the circulation and put signal lights in. He urged Council to take action on this before "the door would be closed." Mr. David Smith, representing Newman & Associates, explained the aspects of taxable revenue bond issue and responded to Council's questions regarding the City's obligation; the issue is available now but no one knows how long this will last; it may become reavailable from time to time; the City can reserve the right to make changes later on; they only deal with insurance companies that have AAA ratings; to his knowledge, there has never been an insurance company with this rating that has gone bankrupt; if there is bankrupt proceedings the City would be paid off first prior to paying off any other debts; the bonds are not callable; 10 years is the term of the bonds; the bond counsels, Jones, Hall, Hill and White will review this entire matter and give an opinion; is registered with the Security Exchange Commission (SEC); discussed the arbitrage opportunity; no way can the City be jeopardized by entering into this matter; explained why the City Minutes - 15 - October 14, 1986 of Chula Vista would not be in competition with private lenders on this bond issue; more and more cities are going into this since it is a way to come up with needed funds; there is presently no legislation on this type of bond; explained the spread between the bond rates; this must be done on a contingency basis; minimum spread to be determined by staff; and the cost to the City for the entire matter would not exceed 1-7/8ths total. MSUC (McCandliss/Campbell) to approve the staff recommendation. 20. REPORT ON CHULA VISTA TRANSIT FARE STRUCTURE CHANGE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1987 (Director of Public Works/City Engineer) At its meeting on September 25, 1986, the MTD Board approved a regional fare structure proposal effective January 1, 1987. The adopted fare structure increases the senior/disabled fare on a regional basis from 40~ to 50~, including CVT. Transit staff will modify CVT schedules to reflect the new fares and to incorporate minor time changes on certain routes. The increase in the Senior/Disabled fare from 40~ to 50~ will result in an estimated annual cash fare revenue increase of approximately $5,000 for CVT. Staff recommended for Council to recommend to the SCOOT Board that the Board adopt the following fare structure for CVT effective January 1, 1987: Adults - 75~; Juniors (6-17) - 40~; Seniors/DisaDled - 50~. Councilwoman McCandliss explained the MTD Board's action on this matter - it was an 8-6 close vote. They felt they needed to work on a regional system and this is just the beginning of standardized fares throughout the County. MSC (Moore/Malcolm) to approve the staff recommendation. Councilwoman McCandliss lodged a protest vote of "no" stating she was in opposition at the MTD Board, and she still is. 25. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER a. Report on request for assistance for relocation of San Diego AIDS Project At its May 6, 1986 meeting, Council received a letter from Fred Nagel, Mayor of La Mesa, reporting as the representative of the League of California Cities San Diego Division on the San Diego County Regional Task Force on AIDS. He requested funding for the relocation of the San Diego Hospice and the San Diego AIDS Project. Council voted to deny the request. The City Manager reported that staff investigated the number of cities contributing or pledging support to this project and found Mayor Nagel's request to be supported by a substantial number; over 50% of the other requestees in the County. Minutes - 16 October 14, 1986 The recommendation was for Council to reconsider the request and direct staff to take what action it deems appropriate, such as conditional support of request if a majority of cities in the County support this request. Principal Analyst Alan Borwick referred to his report adding that Mayor Nagel is still requesting $2,000 from the cities, although the project, originally to cost ~92,500 has been lowered to ~42,000. In this respect, the City of San Diego has cut their assistance down to ~10,000, along with the County. The City of Vista is considering this request at their meeting tonight. Ms. Lynell Fromm, representing San Diego AIDS Project, confirmed that renovation of the facility was originally the cost of ~92,500, however; it has been scaled down to ~42,000. They have 3 staff persons on board with 140 volunteers. The renovation will consist of wheelchair ramps, handicapped bathrooms, plumbing in the kitchen, etc. It was moved by Councilman Malcolm to deny the request. The motion died for lack of second. Council discussion followed regarding the population of the cities and the ratio of the funds requested; it is a regional problem and not strictly one of individual cities; it is a one-time funding and should be a cooperative effort of all cities; there should be a time for "compassion" in government since these people are terminal, they are denied support by their families and communities; they are not funded under United Way/CHAD; suggested the amount be cut down to $1,500. Councilman Malcolm reiterated his denial of the request noting the Dillions of dollars now being spent by the State/Federal Government on this particular matter, adding these people should go through the same budgetary request as all community promotions. I~SC (McCandliss/Cox) to bring back a resolution appropriating the amount of $1,500 with the clear understanding there is assurance that appropriate financial controls are there and the funds will be set aside in a renovation account for that particular purpose. Mayor Cox asked staff to look into the Block Grant funds for this purpose, if available. The motion passed with Councilman Malcolm voting 26. MAYOR'S REPORT a. Appointment of Nancy Hitchcock to HandyTrans Committee MSUC (Malcolm/Campbell) to ratify the appointment of Nancy Hitchcock. Minutes - 17 - October 14, 1986 b. Regarding development of a mobilehome relocation park program Mayor Cox explained his proposal noting his recommendation: 1. That staff be directed to return with a specific development plan for a mobilehome relocation park. 2. If appropriate, that the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund be considered as an option to fund the construction and development of the park. 3. That consideration be given to hiring a professional management firm to provide for the day-to-day management and administration of the mobilehome relocation park. 4. That staff work with trailer park owners so that if they choose to use their property in conformance with the underlying zoning, there will be a mobilehome relocation park in place to accept their existing residents. 5. That staff work with trailer park owners to buy down the relocation costs associated with the relocation of mobilehome park tenants, and that Council consider participating in the funding of these relocation costs. 6. That the City assure persons relocated to the mobilehome park that the intent of the City will be to allow ~ relocated residents to live in the relocation parks as long as they are physically able. In addition, that staff investigate an equitable rental structure for the new residents of the relocation park who are displaced from an existing park and need assistance. In May 1986, staff was directed to prepare a report and recommendations for the City Council outlining a specific development plan for the existing County property located southeast of the KOA Kampgrounds. The Mayor proposed that this location be used as a "mobilehome relocation park" to serve as a receiving point for residents of older trailer/mobilehome parks which were not developed in conformance with their underlying zoning and are at risk of being converted from trailer/mobilehome use. To prepare for this potentiality, he requested that the City Council accept the proposed relocation park in concept and commit to the guidelines as outlined: Council questions ensued regarding hiring a professional management firm to oversee the program and questioned whether staff was not able to do this. N1T Minutes - 18 - October 14, 1986 City Manager Goss indicated current staff would not have the time to do this. Councilman Moore expressed his concern regarding #5 of the guidelines; suggested #6 should have the word "physically" changed to "financially able"; add number 7: that the program be available only to those who have lived in mobilehome parks for at least 2 or 3 years in order to qualify. Councilwoman McCandliss also referred to #5, indicating this may encourage park owners to close their parks and thus, moving the tenants out. This gives park owners a real economic incentive to look at a change of use. Councilman Malcolm noted a couple of old parks along Broadway which may not be able to meet Code requirements and probably could be encouraged to turn them into commercial use. MSUC (Cox/Moore) to refer this to staff along with the comments made by Councilman Moore (regarding minimal period of park residents) and addressing the concerDs raised by Councilwoman McCandliss and Councilman Malcolm concerning the selective utilization of possible participatory "buy down" on the part of the Council or Agency, as the case may be. c. Mayor Cox noted that the City hired an appraiser to take down the billboards along I-5 and E Street and the City now has one in that area depicting the Bayfront. MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) for staff to be directed to take down this billboard. d. MSUC (Moore/Cox) for a Closed Session for personnel matters. Mayor Cox noted the confusion at the Chula Vista Harbor on e~lover Avenue near the Bayside Park with people with RV'S ~ trying to find that park. MSUC (Cox/Campbell) to ask United Port District change the name of Glover Avenue (in this area) to Bayside Park. 27. COUNCIL COMMENTS a. Councilman Moore requested more staff information on the CIP project of a wall for the Loma Verde pool. b. Director of Planning Krempl explained the 75th Anniversary Program for embossing three cashet covers for embossing envelopes: (1) will De depicted with the imprint of the Tall Ship Californian; (2) the City Seal; and the insignia of the 75th Jubilee Committee; and noted that the U.S. Postal Service would be issuing a special postmark depicting the 75th Anniversary along with the logo. Minutes - 19 October 14, 1986 c. Councilman Moore requested the 75th Anniversary song 0e made the official Chula Vista song. He asked for a unanimous vote from the Council on this. Councilwoman McCandliss indicated her concerns with the song stating she felt it did not present an image of the City MSC (Moore/Malcolm) to accept the 75th Anniversary Song as the official City song. Councilman Campbell and Councilwoman McCandliss voted "no." d. In answer to Councilwoman McCandliss' question, City Manager Goss said he has received no feedback on the security of the parking structure. e. Councilwoman McCandliss expressed her concern that people who apply for Boards/Commission/Committees do not get a response as to whether their applications were received or any type of acknowledgment. Mayor Cox explained the computer program now being set up to take care of this. f. Councilman Malcolm referred to the signalization along Bonita Road which has not been synchronized and now 2-1/2 years later, the agreements have still not been signed with National City and CalTrans. MSC (Malcolm/Cox) direct staff to hire an individual whose sole responsibility is going to be on a contract basis to design (under CalTrans specifications) configurations for street improvements on on/off ramps, left/right turns. Mayor Cox indicated the staff person should be one working with CalTrans or perhaps hire a person from CalTrans and instead of the motion stating "to hire a person" it should be "for a report back on hiring a 'person." Councilman Malcolm agreed to that and the motion carried unanimously. g. In response to Councilman Malcolm's question, City Attorney Harron noted the potential litigation going now with the adult book store and the "F" Street Book Store. The "F" Street Book Store's attorney informed them that the contents of the material sold in the store has been changed and it is now legally operaDie. h. Councilman Malcolm noted the two hour discussion held last week by the City Council on stop signs and suggested that in the future, the whole matter of stop signs be turned over to the Planning Commission. Minutes - 20 October 14, 1986 Mayor Cox noted the joint meeting to be held with the Safety Commission on October 30 and suggested the matter be discussed at that time. i. Councilman Malcolm noted the references in the past to having the Council act as the Housing Commission and the funds in the City's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund which are to be used to help people bring down the cost of their homes. He referred to the Orange Tree Mobilehome people whose payments are now up because of the pending process of selling off their spaces . MSUC (Malcolm/McCandliss) to refer this to the Redevelopment Agency and staff to see if an appropriate loan could be made to the Orange Tree Mobilehome Park residents. j.
