PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
13. PUBLIC HEARING ZAV-86-34 CAMERA BUG - REQUEST TO
LEGITIMIZE EXISTING SIGN AT 381 "E" STREET
(Director of Planning
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox declared
the public hearing open.
Principal Planner Lee submitted transparencies noting the location
of the Camera Bug business and the sign painted on its west wall.
He explained that the Camera Bug occupies a 15 foot by 70 foot
storefront on the north side of "E" Street abutting a Chevron
service station on the west. The sign in question has been
painted on the westerly wall of the building facing the service
station property.
The request is to legitimize the existing 46 square foot wall
sign.
The request was unanimously denied by the Planning Commission on
August 13, 1986. The City Council subsequently agreed to consider
a reapplication with a waiver of all fees.
Minutes 7 November 4, 1986
The project is exempt from environmental review as a Class II(a)
exemption.
The recommendation was for Council to deny the variance.
Mr. Lee stated the Planning Commission could not make the findings
necessary to grant the variance. Staff concurs.
In answer to Councilman Moore's question, Mr. Lee stated that the
sign on the top of the store has been grandfathered in. It is
non-conforming and will have to be taken down in 4 years.
Mr. James Papadakis, Manager of the Camera Bug Store, stated the
purpose of having the sign painted on the west wall was to upgrade
the existing sign; it harms no one and it will increase his
business. If the sign has to be removed, his business will
decrease. He note~ that people park on the west side of the
building (the Chevron Gas Station parking lot) from habit there
is ample parking behind the store; the o,~y solution to the
problem would be for Mr. Butler (Chevron manager) and himself (Mr.
Papadakis) to work together to solve the issue.
There being no further testimony either for or against, the public
hearing was closed.
Council discussion followed with Mr. Lee answering questions
pertaining to the existing sign for Camera Bug which has been
there since 1975; the landscaping and the coloring of the
building; Planning Department never had an approved sign for the
west wall of the building; because of the color of the wall and
the landscaping; the wall sign was never picked up; Camera Bug is
allowed to have a sign in front of the store: 3 square feet for
each linear foot of frontage; concern of the Council that they
cannot make the findings required to approve the appeal.
MSUC (McCandliss/Cox) to deny the variance.

ACTION - FIRST READING (Director of
Finance)
Minutes - 9 - November 4, 1986
Newman & Associates, an investment banking firm from Denver,
Colorado, are proposing that the City do a taxable bond issue
that, because of existing conditions in the interest rate markets,
could result in substantial revenues to the City.
Director of Finance Christopher recommended Council authorize the
City to proceed with the issuance of taxable revenue bonds based
on two conditions:
1. That issue size be a minimum of "$50 million, and
2. That the City realize a minimum net revenue amount of 0.5% on
the bond issue ($250,000 on a $50 million issue).
Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the terminology of "special
bonds" on page 3 of the staff report.
Director of Finance Christopher explained that the bonds are
called either "special" or "limited" obligations to the City of
Chula Vista. Under general obligation, the City pledges assets
and resources to pay back the debt incurred. Under the bonds,
there is a pledge only of the revenue generated from the proceeds
of the sale of the bonds. There is no recourse to the City if
there is a failure on the part of the insurance company; the City
is anticipating getting a "AAA" rating On the bonds; it will be a
protection for the City as well as the bond holders.
Mr. Charles Adams, Jones Hall Hill & White, San Francisco, stated
they haven't finalized negotiations with the bond trustee.
Council discussion followed with Mr. Adams answering questions as
to the philosophical issue with the City; noted that the question
is whether or not it serves the public purpose; bond counsels have
debated this internally and have done a lot of research on it and
feel comfortable with it as to its legal standpoint, particularly
since City of Chula Vista is a Charter City. Chula Vista is one
of the first cities for this particular type of financing.
Further Council discussion ensued regarding the spread; because of
the arbitrage amount the difference is so small that there is
concern that the ordinance does not address this cost; the
ordinance gives the City the right to proceed, however; before
there is a sale of any bond, the Director of Finance will have to
come back to the Council for approval; noted the ordinance was not
written that way.
Councilman Malcolm stated that he would like to see this change to
have it "acceptable to the Finance Director and the City Manager."
Mr. Christopher explained that according to economics, this type
of structure is very tight and the spread is very small. Unless
the conditions are met, the City will not proceed with the bond
sale. He added that there could be 2 or 3 bond issues that would
total $50 million or they could just go to 1 $50 million issue.
Minutes - 10 - November 4, 1986
Mr. David Smith from Newman & Associates, testified the whole
purpose of the program was to raise funds for the City and timing
was important. When the market is right, they have to move
quickly. The insurance companies will give them about 1 to 1-1/2
weeks after the sale of the bonds. Because of that, he urged the
Council to authorize the Director of Finance that the ordinance be
structured so that each series is done with the Director of
Finance being able to approve the details of that issue.
MSUC (Malcolm/McCandliss) to amend the ordinance to state that
according to the staff report as outlined, the City will be
getting the minimum of (1) 0.5% and, (2) that the offer be
acceptable to both the City Manager and the Director of Finance.
Mr. Christopher indicated the first issue cannot happen before
December 12 because of the First and Second Reading of the
ordinances. It only sets it up so that when market conditions are
right, the City can proceed immediately.
MSUC (Malcolm/Campbell) to place the ordinance on First Reading.
The Council expressed their philosophical views in approving the
ordinance, noting the many improvements done in the City during
the past several years and asked the City Manager to submit a
weekly update on this program.
15. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER
a. City Manager Goss reminded Council that the next meeting of
the Council will be held on Wednesday, November 12 at
7:00 p.m. instead of Tuesday, November 11, which is a holiday.
b. City Manager Goss reminded Council of the softball game to be
played on Sunday at 9 a.m. between the cities of Imperial

action to have all the debris removed that has been dumped

b. Councilman Malcolm discussed the City of San Diego having a
great deal of sludge which they are taking down to the Otay
Mesa area. It is then being dried there and buried in the
Otay land fill. Councilman Malcolm noted that South Chula
Vista already has toxic waste dumps, a prison site coming up,
etc. declaring that the City is taking its fair share and more
of toxics, sludge, etc. He urged Council to take a stand on

the sludge.

Bilbray who started a literacy program in the County
encouraging those people who are on probation to enhance their
reading skills. National City Library has applied for a grant
to expand their program into Chula Vista.
MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) to refer the literacy program in Chula
Vista's participation to staff and report back on what will be
involved, how much staff time and how it will be mechanically set
up.
City Manager Goss noted that Chula Vista has a similar program
through its own library; they applied for a grant last year
but were turned down.
f. Councilwoman McCandliss remarked that several times in the
past Councilman Malcolm referred to the amount of services the
seniors are receiving in this City because they are "voters."
She stated she doesn't "buy this" but realizes seniors do get
benefits because they have a sophisticated network to bring
their people together and to tell Council their needs. She
would like to recommend Council reinstitute the Youth
Commission but change the composition. The Commission could
comprise of young'people, 18 years and under, representatives
perhaps, from the Clearview Council; from the Boys' and Girls'
Club and daycare centers in order to create a body of youth
advocates similar to that of the Commission on Aging.
Minutes - 13 November 4, 1986
MSUC (McCandliss/Malcolm) to refer this recommendation to staff.
Council discussion of the motion followed in which
Councilwoman McCandliss explained that she doesn't want the
schools to feel obligated to place someone on the Commission.
She is looking for different avenues of participation
Councilman Moore asked that staff take into consideration the
longevity and continuity.
Mayor Cox asked that geographical areas be taken into
consideration, that perhaps there shoul~ be one person from
each of the areas' high schools. The Commission should also
include a number of adults.
g. Councilman Moore referred to the Citizen's Survey noting that
the question regarding the Chula Vista Shopping Center may be
deleted if it was "too time-consuming" to answer. Councilman
Moore added that he can think of nothing more important than
what people think of the shopping center - the major tax base
in the City.
h. Councilman Campbell stated he was watching TV the other night
when he turned the channel and watched the San Diego City
Council meeting. The point of discussion was moving various
elements of Lindberg Field to Brown Field.

report of the Rules Committee on this. Some of the items
discussed were: changing the flight patterns; building a
tremendous amount of industry and manufacturing close to Brown
Field; transferring a number of flight operations from
Lindberg to Brown.
Councilman Campbell asked that Cou~]cil give serious
consideration to this and have staff follow it closely, as he
foresees some of the same problems now facing Lindberg Field
will be the same problems for residents around Brown Field.
