the County. She discussed the State and Federal law regarding the housing
industry stating developers are now penciling out construction of anything
renting under $325 a month since they cannot afford to build that type of low
and moderate housing. She asked for consideration of funding housing because
it "fills the need".

in support of the Senior Information Center, the Del Rey Nutrition Center,
Meals on Wheels and Shared Housing.

to prove they live in Chula Vista.
Maggie Helton, 162 Mankato Street, Chula Vista, responded to the question
stating the majority of the Del Rey Nutrition Program is funded by the
Sweetwater High School. The cost to Senior Citizens living on fixed income
has gone up considerably. Most of these people are in need of the nutrition
service; however, those that can afford it come because of the social aspects
of the program which is extremely important to senior citizens.
Mrs. Helton also supported the shared housing program and the program called
Kinesis South.
Speaking in support of funding Kinesis South - Mental Health Systems were Niki
Lund, 3420 Camino del Rio, San Diego, Alice Courteau, 6357-4 Rancho Mission
Road, San Diego, Linda Gentz, Chula Vista, David Wehrle, 3738 1/2 Villa
Terrace, San Diego. The proponents outlined the operation of the Center; how
many people are served and the percentage of clients that are returned to the

business - a one time funding for purchase of a truck, refrigerator for their
flowers and printing for their brochures.

Corporation related their proposal for a request of $75,000, a one-time
funding in order to set up a business in Chula Vista (a deli) to train people

doughnut shop business in E1 Cajon 7-1/2 years ago which was the start of the
Hallelujah Corporation program. Mr. Filipponi remarked he was approached by
Sweetwater Union High School requesting he start the deli business in this
City in order to train and put into the job market the students at the Del Rey
Nutrition Center.
John Kolsters. 501 Anita Street, Chula Vista, reported there have been three
public hearings held in Chula Vista with Representative Duncan Hunter
regarding the housing market for Senior Citizens and moderate income people.
Mr. Kolsters stated there will never be a shared housing program in the
mobilehome parks. Mobilehome parks are governed by the State and laws must be

"mama and papa" parks where tenants own or rent their own mobilehomes.

programs, Hallelujah and Kinesis, were worthy of consideration and asked for a
-~ more detailed report of the breakdown of costs from these two agencies.

TO MODIFY THE EXISTING CHULA VISTA OPEN SPACE
DISTRICT NO. 1 AND TO ESTABLISH CHULA VISTA OPEN
SPACE DISTRICT NO. 12 AND SETTING THE TIME AND PLACE
FOR HEARING THEREON (City Engineer)
Pacific Scenes, Inc., the developer of Charter Point Subdivision Units 1, 2,
and 3, has petitioned for formation of an Open Space Maintenance District in
accordance with a condition of approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map. The
City Council Meeting - 14 June 21, 1983
land occupied by Charter Point Subdivision is presently included in Open Space
Maintenance District No. 1 as three undeveloped parcels. Because the Charter
Point open space will be maintained by the Homeowners Association, the area
needs to be removed from District 1. A new district which will include only
Charter Point needs to be formed to assure that the open space will be
maintained. The separate owners will not be assessed unless the homeowners
association does not properly maintain the open space.
Council discussion followed concerning City policy involved in the bidding
process for open space districts.
MSUC(Cox/Scott) for staff to look into putting all of the (open space
districts) to bid.
Councilman Moore said he had several concerns regarding the open space
districts; for staff and developer to work closely together; for the City

process of open space districts as new ones come forth.
