EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM - FIRST READING
On November 12, 1986, the City Council took action to amend the
PERS contract so that it would reflect the merger of the
Montgomery Fire Protection District employees with that of the
City. The initial action taken by the City Council in November
1986 included documents provided by the PERS system which did not
recognize the City's intention that Montgomery fire personnel,
after the merger, were to be treated as City employees for
retirement benefits in'the future as though they were Chula Vista
firefighters from the start of their employment with the
Montgomery Fire Protections District. As a result of that error,
PERS had to conduct a new actuarial study to establish what the
new rates would be if the merger reflected the City's intention.
Minutes 4 May 5, 1987
The first 12 months' savings in retirement costs for the City will
be approximately $52,580 as a result of the merger amendment.

(Community Development Director)
The Redevelopment Agency is in the process of negotiating a
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with the Homart
Development Company for the expansion and renovation of the Chula
Vista Shopping Center. The Boys' Club site, located at 495 I
Street and two small sliver parcels located at the corners of
Fifth Avenue and I Street and Fifth Avenue and H Street, currently
owned by the City, are important components of financing and
redevelopment plans for the shopping center. This item is to
convey those parcels from the City to the Agency for inclusion in
the DDA for redevelopment of the center.
11. REPORT ON PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LOWER
SWEETWATER ANNEXATION AREA (Director of
Public Works/City Engineer)
The 1985-86 budget included funds for the installation of
unspecified public improvements in the Lower Sweetwater Annexation
Area. The City has installed street lights in this area in order
to bring the lighting more into conformance with City standards.
Also, there is still 912,500 in non-spent funds. Staff has
reviewed the area and recommends the installation of curb, gutter,

PULLED ITEMS
3b. REQUEST TO DELETE SUNSET CLAUSE IN ORDINANCE 2163 - Will Hyde,
Chairman, Mobilehome Issues Committee
Staff concurred that the ordinance should be extended past its
expiration date of August 18, 1987, but recommended a four
year extension, and a hearing be set to amend Ordinance 2163
to extend or remove the expiration date.
Mary Frances Click, 1100 industrial Blvd., Chula Vista,
representing GSMOL and the Chula Vista Mobilehome Issues (Vice
Chairman) and Heinz Seiler, 1425 Second Avenue #309, Chula
Vista, representing District 4 Rent Stabilization Committee,
asked that any reference to any type of "sunset clause" be
entirely eliminated from Ordinance 2163.
MS (Cox/McCandliss) to approve the staff recommendation.
(Councilman Malcolm arrived at this time - 4:20 p.m.)
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
MSUC (Moore/Nader) to set this matter for a public hearing and
that staff be directed to remove the sunset clause from the
ordinance and this should be completed prior to the expiration
date. (Councilman Malcolm abstained.)
3c. REQUEST FOR ENDORSEMENT OF PROPOSAL FROM UNITED FOOD &
COMMERCIAL WORKERS TO ADD RELIGIOUS RIGHTS CLAUSE IN NEW
CONTRACT - Thomas J. Vandeveld, President, UFCW Local 135,
4284 Central Avenue, San Diego CA 92105
The City Manager reported that while the religious rights
clause mentioned in this letter certainly has some appeal, it
would appear to be more a matter between the Union and the
management group with which they are negotiating. As a
result, the City Manager recommended that the letter be
received and acknowledged.
Mr. Curtis Van de Veld, 4284 Central Avenue, San Diego 92105,
representing UFCW Local 135, responded to Councilman Nader's
question as to whether or not a bill was passed by the
Legislature last year mandating this particular issue.
Mr. Van de Veld stated he was not aware of any such bill.
Assistant City Attorney Rudolf concurred.
Minutes 6 May 5, 1987
Councilman Nader questioned why this request was coming before
the Council since it is a negotiable or bargaining item. He
added he is uncomfortable with the Council getting involved in
this process and commented that perhaps a letter could be
written to the City's representative Legislatures about this.
MSUC (Moore/McCandliss) to approve the staff recommendation.
Councilwoman McCandliss remarked that she is in support of
their resolution and would like to have a copy of it. She
will either write a letter herself, or suggested one be
written on behalf of the Council.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
MS (Nader/McCandliss) to write to the (City's) State Legislators
without reference to any particular collective bargaining and
negotiations that are going on to express the Council's support
for legislation to protect the religious rights of employees.
Further Council discussion involved whether or not any bills
on this subject were pending before the Legislators.
MOTION CHANGED
MSUC (Nader/McCandliss) to refer this matter to the Legislative
Committee for report and recommendation.
3d. REQUEST FOR HUD 202/8 PROJECT Capt. Glen Madsen., Salvation
Army, P.O. Box 1423, Chula Vista 92012-1423
The City Manager recommended that a letter of general
endorsement be given to the Salvation Army proposal with the
understanding that issues, such as conditional use permit and
density bonus issues, would need to be resolved if this
becomes a viable project.
Councilman Malcolm said he is abstaining due to the fact that
the property is in the immediate area of his business
establishment and he may have a potential conflict of interest.
MSUC (Moore/Cox) to authorize the staff recommendation that a
letter be sent to include the Council's concern and to note that
the Council endorses the concept.
6a. ORDINANCE 2204 ADDING CHAPTER 9.09 TO THE CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO LOITERING
FIRST READING (City Attorney)
Minutes 7 May 5, 1987
b. ORDINANCE 2205 AMENDING SECTION 9.15.010 OF THE CHULA
VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO OPEN
CONTAINERS FIRST READING
Loitering Ordinance:
"Every person who wilfully and maliciously
obstructs the free movement of any person on
any street, sidewalk, or other public place or
on or in any place open to the public is
guilty of a misdemeanor.
Nothing in this section affects the power of a
county or city to regulate conduct upon a
street, sidewalk, or other public place or in
a public place open to the public."
Chapter 9.09 will add the enforcement of a new infraction
violation for loitering to assist in resolving law enforcement
problems at or near the 7-11 store on "I" Street.
Open Containers
The second proposed ordinance amends existing Municipal Code
Section 9.15.010 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, which section
already prohibits open containers on the premises, in the adjacent
parking lot, and on any public sidewalk immediately adjacent to
off-sale licensed premises. The proposed amendment adds language
to prohibit the actual consumption of alcoholic beverages and
possession of open containers on any public street, sidewalk,
parkway, public parking lot or semi-public parking lot, as the
latter is defined in the ordinance.
Councilman Moore commented he could see no reason to update the
ordinance presently on the books.
Assistant City Attorney Rudolf explained there is no current
ordinance in the City regarding loitering but it is a State law
and would be a misdemeanor offense. However, the proposed
ordinance would add a new Chapter making this charge an infraction
rather than a misdemeanor.
MSUC (Cox/Moore) to place the ordinances on first reading, the
reading of the texts was waived by unanimous consent, passed and
approved unanimously.
7a. ORDINANCE 2206 AMENDING SECTION 8.24.070 OF THE CHULA

COLLECTION CONTRACT FROM CHULA VISTA
SANITARY (GSX) TO LAIDLAW WASTE SYSTEMS,
INC.
c. RESOLUTION 13020 APPROVING THE AGREEMENT WITH LAIDLAW WASTE
SYSTEMS, INC. FOR THE PROVISION OF DATA
PROCESSING SERVICES
Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc. requested that the Council consent to
an assignment of the trash collection contract from Chula Vista
Sanitary, Inc. (GSX).
In his report to Council, Assistant City Manager Asmus explained
that the subject ordinance by amending Section 8.24.070 will make
it clearer that industrial waste is included in the franchisee's
exclusive franchise and that service as in the past provides for
the preparation of billing statements for Laidlaw's countywide
customers including all of those customers within the City of
Chula Vista except commercial customers.
The new company, Laidlaw, intends to discontinue the historical
name of Chula Vista Sanitary Service, Inc., and adopt and utilize
the trade name of Laidlaw Waste Systems. For at least one year,
however, both names (Laidlaw and GSX) will appear on the quarterly
bills in order to eliminate any confusion on the part of customers.
Dick Chase, 311 "F" Street, Chula Vista, responded to Council's
questions concerning the name change which, he stated, will remain
the same in the telephone directory and on the business office for
at least one year period of time.
Mayor Cox and the Council members commended Mr. Chase and the
Chula Vista Sanitary Service for the excellent service given to
the City.
MSUC (Malcolm/Nader) to place the ordinance on first reading, the
reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and
approved unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, the reading of the.

9. REPORT YOUTH FACILITY AT CHULA VISTA SHOPPING
CENTER
a. RESOLUTION AGREEING TO REMOVE BOYS CLUB FACILITY FROM
CHULA VISTA SHOPPING CENTER SITE IN
EXCHANGE FOR RECEIPT OF REPLACEMENT
PAYMENT FROM HOMART DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
(Community Development Director)
Minutes - 9 - May 5, 1987
b. RESOLUTION AGREEING TO IMPROVE BOYS CLUB FACILITY TO
TOP QUALITY CONDITION FOR PERMANENT
OPERATION AT EXISTING SITE
The City Council is considering two options regarding the Boys'
Club at the Chula Vista Shopping Center site in its negotiations
with Homart, the proposed redeveloper of the Shopping Center. One
option is to remove the Boys' Club facility by the time its site
is needed for shopping center expansion/ renovation and accept
$500,000 from Homart for developing a replacement youth facility
at another location in the general area. The other option is to
retain the Boys' Club facility at the existing site and renovate
it at City Council/Agency cost, which has been estimated to be
approximately $643,000.00. To explain these options, staff has
been directed to identify alternative sites which might be
available for a youth facility similar to the Boys' Club.
Mayor Cox referred to the memo just received from the City Manager
noting an extension of time to June 2 has been granted the City by
Homart.
Councilman Moore commented on:
The over ~600,000 cost of renovation with a possible higher
figure; if the Club stays at that location, the City looses
million from Homart; the Boys Club was relocated to Oleander
Avenue and the City helped fund that relocation; at the "llth
hour" they are now coming back to the City asking to remain at
that location (Fifth & "I"); question of their financial
capability of running two clubs versus one; the new Club will cost
more because it will offer new and extended programs.
councilman Malcolm:
The youth in the City do not have an effective lobby; therefore,
their voices are not heard; this is a good example of what can be
kept for that side of the City; the Council should assure that
these young people will have a place to meet; if they have a place
to go to they won't be loitering or drinking; agrees that a better
location would be to tie it in with either the elementary or high
school district property; the Boys Club built that facility 30
years ago and now the City wants to tear it down; the schools have
indicated they are receptive to this proposal.
MS (Cox/McCandliss) to extend the decision on this item to the
meeting of June 2, 1987 and authorize staff to go ahead and pursue
negotiations with the schools for a suitable site for a
youth-serving facility.
Discussion of the motion followed:
Minutes 10 - May 5, 1987
Councilman Malcolm:
Wants the Girls/Boys Club to run the new facility; doesn't want
the Council to wait until the last day to decide this issue;
Council needs to make a firm commitment on this before the June 2
meeting.
Mayor Cox:
Everyone on the Council is supportive of youth facilities; agrees
that concerns should be decided on the June 2 meeting as to
whether or not it will be a Girls/Boys Club or a multi-community
use facility; Council will have to take in the concerns of the
school districts.
Councilman Moore indicated the following questions should be
addressed: (1) what is the present value of the facility; (2) a
joint meeting should be held between the elected officials of the
school districts and the Council as soon as possible; (3) what
kind and size facility will be built; (4) who is going to operate
it; (5) how long will the lease run; (6) will there be a renewal
clause and; (7) what about the joint usage.
Gilberto Zunita of Chula Vista, questioned the time limitation
between eliminating the present Boys Club and building a new one.
His concern was that he'd like to see the new facility built first
before closing the old one - that way the boys will have a place
to go to. If they close the old facility before the new one is
built, they will then start getting into trouble (i.e. drugs,
alcohol) because they'll have no place to go in their free time.
MOTION RESTATED
Mayor Cox stated his motion is to refer this back to staff to
bring this back at the June 2 meeting for a final decision to call
whatever meeting necessary with the Council and School Boards to
discuss the parameters of this issue.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
(Malcolm/Moore) to schedule a meeting with the City
Council/Redevelopment Agency and both School Boards sometime
within the next 2-1/2 weeks (to meet on the 21st or before that
date at 4 p.m.).
Councilman Moore indicated the letter should go to the Presidents
of the School Boards.
12. REPORT ON THE BONITA/SUNNYSIDE REORGANIZATION
(Assistant City Manager)
Minutes 11 - May 5, 1987
At the 4/21/87 City Council meeting, the City Council accepted the
staff recommendations relating to the Bonita reorganization but
held over the decision regarding how the election costs would be
divided and requested a report on the Bonita reorganization
detailing the expenditures and revenues, including the number of
additional employees required, the departments where they would be
assigned, and the ability of present City facilities to physically
accommodate these employees.
Staff reported that Government Code Section 57.150 provides that
in the case of a reorganization, the cost of election would be the
responsibility of the City if the annexation was successful and by
the County if the annexation was not successful.
The report also includes: a detailed property tax exchange
analysis; the County Library District continuing to receive
$66,787 annually in property tax revenues for County operation of
the Bonita library, with the City contributing an additional
~58,000 annually to meet the projected operating costs of ~127,787
per year; and projects the total operating revenues for that year
at ~2,097,968, with total operating expenditures projected at
~2,183,677 for a deficit of $85,709.
Mayor Cox stated a letter was received from LAFCO stating that the
time schedule cannot be met to schedule this question on the
November ballot - it will have to be either April, June or
November of 1988.
Mayor Cox asked that staff report on the present fire station
contract with the City which is approximately $50,~00 a year,
noting that staff has been working with that fire district to find
another location for their station. He and Councilwoman
McCandliss are representatives of the Council who meet with that
fire district board.
MSUC (Cox/Moore) to continue this item until staff brings back the
following information: (1) additional information of discussions
going on between the Bonita/Sunnyside Fire District and the City
of Chula Vista for a new fire station; (2) the question of joint
construction of a fire station in lieu of a contract; continuation
of the contract until budget time.
Councilman Malcolm stated that the Council should make a decision
as to whether or not they want to annex Bonita to the City since
they know it is going to be a loser, or basically, break even.
MS (Malcolm/Nader) to direct staff to come back with a report on
the facilities here (Civic Center); what is going to happen; how
many more employees will be hired; report on the growth already
approved in EastLake; what happens if United Enterprises goes; do
we want them in the City's jurisdiction; can they be accommodated;
what are the ramifications and capital costs. Staff to do a
complete facility study on this annexation.
Minutes - 12 May 5, 1987
Discussion of the motion:
Councilman Nader discussed that some of this same report will be
coming with the General Plan Update.
City Manager Goss noted that the General Plan Study is for public
facilities for the whole community - if the consultants were given
this added direction, more money would have to be allocated. He
indicated he will be coming to Council soon on the RFP's for
consultants to do projections on the Civic Center noting the
Police Facility is capable of carrying to the year 2000. They can
also be charged with projecting the capital needs for Bonita. The
RFP's will be coming to Council within the next month.
Councilman Malcolm withdrew his motion and Councilman Nader
withdrew the second.

for Council consideration an ordinance along the lines of
those that were approved by the voters of San Diego last fall
on Measure "B".
[ I'1 I
Minutes 13 - May 5, 1987
b. Councilman Moore stated that it has always been Council policy
that minutes of any Board/Commission/Committee meeting should
be sent to Council within 10 days of that meeting. In his
packet, he is finding that some are 20-60 days later and he
asked Council to reinforce this policy.
The Council concurred, asking that the City Manager write a
letter to the Boards/Commissions/Committees reminding them of
this policy.
c. Councilman Moore referred to the medallion donated by the 75th
Diamond Anniversary Committee with the suggestion it be
located at the Interpretire Center.
He noted if the City wished to purchase other medallions it
would cost approximately $1,500 and could be located in the
Council Chamber or another prominent place in the City.
MSC (Cox/McCandliss) to authorize staff to bring back a resolution
appropriating up to ~1,500 to purchase an additional 75th
Anniversary medallion and that it he displayed in the Public
Library (with the other one at the Nature Interpretive Center).
Councilman Nader voted "no" stating he has difficulty spending the
$1,500.
d. In answer to Councilman Moore's question, City Manager Goss
stated he will submit a report to Council on the status of the
Terra Nova park negotiations with the school district.
e. Councilman Moore asked that staff continue to give Council an
update on the Brown Field activities.
f. Councilman Moore questioned the cost of inputting the ARJIS
information, specifically during what was termed as "prime
time" noting the cost of secretarial services associated with
this.
g. Councilman Moore referred to the memo on the Montgomery
Planning Committee regarding abandoned vehicles violations
noting the number of Zoning Enforcement Officers (3) versus
Building Inspectors (2).
City Manager Goss noted that there are enough complaints to

to hold a public hearing on the Social Services Plan. (Mayor
Cox and Councilman Malcolm abstained since they were not
present at the time this issue was discussed.)

for a public hearing but that it be set for an agenda item and the
agencies involved in the preparation of this Plan be notified when
it will be held.
k. Councilwoman McCandliss discussed the use of Teleguide in the
Library.
MSUC (McCandliss/Cox) to refer this matter to staff for a report
back at budget time as to whether or not there will be a
reasonable way to incorporate the concept of a government package
into some kind of data terminal at the Public Library without
going into graphics which Teleguide offers.
1. Councilwoman McCandliss noted the opposition by the City of
San Diego and the County to have Singleton paroled in this
County. She said she would like to see the Council join these
efforts and added she cannot understand how the Parole Board,
having public accountability, would allow such a person to be
paroled into the society basically on his "good behavior."
She felt something should be directed to the Legislators to
deal with this issue.
Councilman Nader explained the statutes on the book whereby
sentences can be reduced because of good behavior. He felt
that the overall sentence was too light.
MS (McCandliss/Malcolm) to join the City and County of San Diego
in opposing having Singleton paroled in San Diego County.
Assistant City Attorney Rudolf stated that the item was not an
agenda item and the Council can not take action. He would be
aware of this and if the case comes up within the next day or
two, the Deputy City Attorney could be present in court and
express Council's concerns.
Mayor Cox noted that staff can prepare a letter over his
signature indicating Council's strong opposition.
