a. RESOLUTION 11240 APPROVING APPLICATIONS AND STATEMENTS OF OBJECTIVES
FOR BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
In a written report to Council, Director of Community Development Desrochers
reported the City is entitled to $933,000 of Community Development Block Grant
funds in FY 1983-84. An additional $358,000 in Block Grant funds is currently
available to the City through the recently-enacted Emergency Jobs Bill.
City Council Meeting - 2 - May 24, 1983
To receive funding under these federal appropriations, the City Council must
approve Statements of Objectives describing in general terms the types of
programs that the City intends to fund. Funds can be received from HUD thirty
days after submittal of the Statements of Objectives and necessary application
forms.
Objectives of the program are: l) to provide benefit for low and moderate
income individuals; 2) to prevent or eliminate slums and blight; 3) to deal
with urgent community development needs.
Housing Coordinator Gustafson noted that in the local budget process, the
proposed programs will come back to Council for discussion, selection, and
evaluation of the proposed projects.
City Manager Goss stated the Operating Budget will be considered on Thursday,
May 26| there are other items to be reviewed which will culminate June 21 in a
formal public hearing including the Operating Budget, Capital Improvement
Program and Revenue Sharing Program.
Kathryn Lembo, 406 Third Avenue, Chula Vista, Executive Director of South Bay
Community Services said she was in favor of the goals and objectives of the
program. Councilman Malcolm questioned what portion of the funding was going
to her agency and City Manager Goss answered Meals on Wheels and Our House.
Miss Lembo also stated in response to Councilman Malcolm's query that 80% of
their clients fell in the low-moderate income.
Maggie Helton, 162 Mankato Street, Chula Vista, Commission on Aging member was
concerned with submitting this application to HUD in a timely manner. She was
reassured by Community Development Director Desrochers that the City has until
June 1 to submit the application.
Helen Stokes, 1543 Max Drive, Chula Vista representing Meals on Wheels, South
Bay stated funding is urgently needed as they have increased from 88 to 91
people and many people need to be subsidized.
Anne Fabrick, 501-2 Anita Street, Chula Vista, Seniors representative, spoke
for Del Rey High School and the nutrition project urging reinstitution of the
Block Grant to carry on the Shared Housing program.
Sheryl Foster of Halleluleh Corporation, La Mesa, a work training program for
the disabled, stated the intent of their funding allocation was to provide
needed jobs for jobless Americans.
There being no further comments, either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Councilwoman McCandliss commented she agreed with all the Statements of
Objectives and suggested the following addition to the Jobs Bill Block Grant
I '1 ?
City Council Meeting - 3 - May 24, 1983
Statements of Objectives: 3) to encourage participation of minority
contractors and minority subcontractors; and 4) work to target or encourage
the participation of quality contractors and subcontractors who have trouble
competing with the larger companies.
By the term "encourage", she remarked that there are different techniques
which can be used such as making bids smaller, identifying trade groups to
contract and larger solicitation to minority contractors and subcontractors.
Community Development Director Desrochers declared HUD has specific rules
regarding encouraging small contractors/minority contractors regarding
Affirmative Action Equal Opportunity Programs. The City has adhered to those
rules but has not made that one of its Statements of Objectives. There are
different types of programs that could be brought before the Council waiving
or bonding the contractors to allow small minority contractors to get a bid.
MSUC (McCandliss/Scott) to add an amendment to the Statement of Objectives by
adding 3) to encourage participation of minority contractors and minority
subcontractors and 4) work to target or encourage participation of quality
small contractors.
5. ORAL COMMUNICATION S
a. Brenda Maldonado, 281 B Rancho Drive, Chula Vista expressed concern
regarding SANDER trash-to-energy plant in the City. Problems the plant
will provoke are:l) arguments brought to Council regarding J Street
location are valid for any location in the City; 2) present technology
has not been able to resolve problem of waste disposal without creating
hazardous conditions for human health; 3) Chula Vista has to fight a poor
image in this County which will not improve with SANDER; 4) most
desirable industries will not be attracted to zones for waste.
b. Bess Pocklington, 656 Glover Place, Chula Vista requested Council to take
a position against the SANDER plan at Otay landfill; noting that the
rendering plant, land fill, BKK treatment and transfer station,chemical
company and hazardous waste dump of which parts are buried in drums and
others are hauled in by tankers and dumped. A combination of all this
mixture would prove to be a deadly toxin. This will be serviced by
diesel trucks estimated at 630 round trips daily. Mrs. Pocklington also
discussed the lung cancer caused by diesel fumes causing a major impact
on citizens health.
Councilwoman McCandliss questioned how much information or in-depth knowledge
the City has on the hazardous waste site closed two years ago. City Engineer
Lippitt responded the landfill site accepted hazardous waste a couple of years
ago and a couple of ponds accepted waste which were not used for water - this
was handled under State control in order to insure it was done properly.
MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) 1) for staff to bring back a report on the current
conditions of the Otay landfill as it relates to hazardous waste; 2)to include
a letter from the Mayor to the County requesting a report on any hazardous
material.
I1 T
City Council Meeting - 4 - May 24, 1983
c. Bob Maxwell, 473 Berland Way, Chula Vista expressed concern about
SANDER; the danger to ground water; BKK coming in without an EIR
(Environmental Impact Report); suggested a "wait and see" policy before
the City permits any more plans in the area; he is willing to share a
"60 minute" video tape on pollution.
d. J. R. Norman, Mission Avenue, Chula Vista attended a meeting with
Assemblyman Steve Peace recently in Nestor concerning the sewage problem
in Tijuana and expressed concern of additional waste being deposited in
Chula Vista. He feels citizens in Chula Vista were "short changed" in
not being notified of a plant being located here.
Mr. Lee explained the public hearing process conducted for the BKK site
which went before the Planning Commission about a year ago adding that
the Conditional Use Permits stop at Commission level.
Councilman Malcolm personally toured the plant and studied the facility
and found a lot of good features and suggested staff set up a meeting on
a Saturday with BKK to tour the plant.
MSUC(Malcolm/McCandliss) for meeting to be set up with BKK on a Saturday for
staff to tour the plant.

7. RESOLUTION 11242 APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AND NEIL W. AND BETTY C. BONNER REGARDING SEWER
SERVICE AND ANNEXATION RELATIVE TO 128 NORTH SECOND
AVENUE (City Engineer)
City Engineer Lippitt reported on Council's action of May 3, 1983, authorizing
connection of 128 North Second Avenue to the City sewer system was based upon
a series of conditions. Physical connection of the property will not be
undertaken until all of those conditions have been met.
The conditions deal primarily with the payment of various fees, authorizations
from other agencies, and the owner's formal agreement that he will not oppose
annexation of the property to the City of Chula Vista. The latter requires
preparation and execution of a formal agreement between the property owner and
the City. Such agreement has been prepared and executed by the owners, Neil
W. and Betty C. Bonner, and is now submitted for Council consideration.

CLAIM (City Engineer)
In November 1981, the "Five Year Plan Update" for SCOOT and HandYtrans was
presented to Council at a Council Conference. One recommendation in the Plan
was that SCOOT should consider buying buses for Chula Vista Transit (CVT)
during the next 3 to 5 years. Council concurred with this recommendation and
directed the Transit Coordinator to develop an acquisition plan for buses.
This acquisition plan was presented to Council at its meeting on April 12,
1983, and will be considered by Council during the FY 1983-84 Transit Division
budget review. In order to finance a bus procurement should Council and SCOOT
Board decide to buy buses, Council and SCOOT submitted an amended TDA claim in
FY 1981-82 reserving $273,245 for future bus purchase. The Transit
Coordinator estimates that there will be a minimum balance of $181,251 in the
Chula Vista TDA account at the end of this fiscal year. This amendment to the
FY 1982-83 TDA 4.0 claim will reserve this unallocated apportionment
($181,251) for the future purpose of buying buses.

INSPECTION AND OVERHEAD COSTS; AND APPROVING RELEASE
OF ALL FUNDS DUE (Continued from meeting of
5/17/83) (Assistant City Manager)
Councilman Malcolm stated he is abstaining from discussion and voting on this
matter due to a possible conflict of interest.
On May 10, 1983, the City Council considered a proposal and a report relating
to several issues that have prevented final City action in accepting work
within the terms of the contract let on December 15, 1981 for the remodeling
and enlargement of Jimmy's on the Green. After consideration of the report,
the City Council directed that a revised resolution be prepared reflecting
modifications to the original recommendations submitted for further
consideration by the City Council.
The recommendation of the Assistant City Manager is that the City Council: 1)
adopt the resolution rescinding Resolutions Nos. 11042 and 11055; 2)
appropriate additional funds in the amount of $37,478.08; 3) approve Change
Order No. 4 in the amount of $43,235.08; 4) withhold $4,400 as liquidated
damages; 5) withhold $1,357 for engineering, inspection and overhead costs and
6) approve release of all funds due. This item was held over from the week of
May 17, 1983.
Mr. J. R. Norman, 908 Mission Avenue, Chula Vista observed the contract was
assigned for Jimmys on the Green and felt that was wrong. Mayor Cox explained
the bidding process noting that Mr. Martin was the lowest bidder. Later by
Council action, Mr. Martin's rights to Jimmy's Family of Fine Restaurants were
assigned and Mr. Martin continued as the RME on the project.

obligations of the City in completing this project. The previous agenda item,
implements the general intent of the City Council's action taken on May 10,
1983. In considering the overall report, the City Council directed that as a
part of the settlement of the various issues involved, an amendment to the
lease agreement between the City and the Lessee be prepared which would
provide for the transfer of landscaping maintenance reponsibilities from the
City to Lessee. The proposed resolution in response to that direction has
been executed by the Lessee.
The recommendation of the Assistant City Manager is to adopt the resolution

FOR PRIVATE WATER SERVICE THROUGH CITY OPEN SPACE -
(Continued from meeting of 4/5/83) (City Engineer)
At its meeting of April 5, 1983, Council considered the granting of an
easement for a private water service across a portion of Open Space District
No. 4. As part of the discussion, Council members Questioned whether the
COSt of processing the easement should be charged to the applicant and whether
his property should be annexed into Open Space District No. 4.
The recommendation of the City Engineer is that Council: 1) adopt a resolution
granting an easement for a private water line to the applicant and authorize
the Mayor to sign the document on behalf of the City and require Dr. Shaw to
pay staff costs; 2) direct staff to return with a policy requiring the payment
by benefiting parties of all City costs associated with processing grants of
easements or other rights for private parties or developers.

available regarding a full-time vs. a part-time staff person; a contract
employee vs. a consultant. Staff has been working very strenuously on
this process and a report and recommendation will be made for Agency's
consideration on Thursday at the end of budget consideration in order to
meet the June 1 deadline.
b. Staff is going through a process of soliciting requests for proposals for
a possible public relations firm to supplement that activity. In

REPORT OF CITY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS
24. REPORT TRAFFIC INVESTIGATION OF THE PARKING SITUATION ON
EAST "H" STREET (City Engineer)
At the Council meeting of March 1, 1983, the City Council referred citizen
complaints of the traffic hazard caused by parking on East "H" Street near
Hilltop High School to Traffic Engineering and Safety Commission for study.
City Council Meeting - 13 - May 24, 1983
The Traffic Engineering review of accident records, street markings, and area
parking demand show that: 1) there is no significant accident problem
associated with cars parking on the south side of "H" Street, and 2) the
traffic conditions on this segment are expected to change significantly when
East "H" Street is opened to the east sometime this summer.
The recommendation is that the City Council take no action at this time and
the situation be reviewed six months after East "H" Street is opened to the
east.
MSUC (Moore/McCandliss) to accept the report.
25. REPORT ADVERTISING LEASE AGREEEMENT BETWEEN SCOOT AND
TDI/WINSTON NETWORK, INC. FOR 1983-86 (City Engineer)
SCOOT entered into the current advertising lease agreement with TDI/Winston
Network, Inc. on July 1, 1981. The current agreement expires on June 30,
1983. The Transit Coordinator solicited proposals from qualified firms to
place exterior and interior advertisements on Chula Vista Transit (CVT)
buses. TDI/Winston Network, Inc. was the only firm that responded to the
Request for Proposal (RFP).
The recommendation is that Council recommend to SCOOT Board that the Board
approve an advertising lease agreement with TDI/Winston Network, Inc. for a
three year term (July 1, 1983, to June 30, 1986).
MSUC (Cox/Moore) to accept the report.
Mr. Warren Morris, Marketing" Manager of TDI/Winston Network, San Diego,
answered questions pertaining to the inside space available for public use to
advertise public events. The agreement provides that the City can use this
interior space for public ads at no charge, If the City decided to switch
over to Regional Transit, it will still have the option for inside
advertising. Transit Coordinator Gustafson stated this would still hold as
the agreement is between Scoot and TDI and even if the City changed contracts
the agreement would still hold.
26. REPORT PROPOSAL TO OBTAIN VEHICLES FOR HANDYTRANS OPERATION
UNDER THE URBAN MASS TRANSPORTATION ADMINISTRATON
(UMTA) 16(b) (2) PROGRAM (City Engineer)
The report from the Transit Coordinator discusses a proposal to obtain five
vehicles for HandYtrans operation under the UMTA 16(b)(2) program instead of
leasing vehicles from the contractor operator. Obtaining these vehicles would
result in cost savings both to HandYtrans operation and to the San Diego
region.
The recommendation is that Council: 1) accept this report; 2) direct the
Transit Coordinator to begin procedures necessary to obtain five 16(b)(2)
vehicles for HandYtrans operation including requesting the Association of
City Council Meeting - 14 - May 24, 1983
Retarded Citizens (ARC) of San Diego to submit a 16(b)(2) application on
behalf of the City of Chula Vista; and 3) commit the required 20 percent local
share to obtain these vehicles, estimated at $42,370, from the City Transit
Service Fund.
MSUC (Scott/Cox) to accept the report.
27. REPORT IMPROVEMENT OF THE THIRD AVENUE CENTRAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT ALLEYS (City Engineer/Community Development
Director)
On February 8, 1977, Council accepted a report on "Improvement and Maintenance
of City Alleys" prepared by the Engineering Department. This report discussed
the surface type and condition of all alleys within the City and the extent
and effectiveness of the City's alley maintenance practices.
The City Engineer's recommendation is that City Council consider in the
1983-84 CIP submittals during budget session: 1) $31,000 for the overlay of
six of the ten unimproved alleys located within the study area and 2) $194,000
for the reconstruction of the other four alleys.
Mayor Cox questioned the process of improving the alleys in the central
business district. Staff recommendation is to consider in conjunction with
our CIP the expenditure of $194,000 to improve four alleys and to spend
another ~31,000 to overlay six other alleys which would be an interim type of
effort. For the same dollar amount, Block Grant funds could be utilized in a
separate account and staff could make contact with various business people on
Third Avenue and see if an Assessment District could be developed where all
ten alleys could be improved. The City would pay for the full cost of
designing, engineering and spread of assessments and the actual cost of
improvements would be split 50/50. Mayor Cox added that the alleys are an
important part of the commercial district but at the same time they do provide
secondary access. City Council over the past several years has been very
generous and helpful in working with the business districts. A lot of City
money has been spent in improving the downtown area and this would be more of
a good faith effort on the part of the City working hand in hand with the
people on Third Avenue, as opposed to the proposal staff has where the City
would basically step in and do the renovation repair and reconstruction of
alleys. Mr. Slijk mentioned this at the Downtown Business Meeting this
morning and indicated it was generally well received as a reasonable and fair
approach to a problem that exists in the alleys.
MS(Scott/Moore) for staff to come back with this recommendation in a
resolution form.
Community Development Director Desrochers remarked other monies would have to
be used other than Block Grant monies as Block Grants cannot be used in an
Assessment District. The proposal would have to be Redevelopmerit monies and
discussed at a Redevelopment meeting.
City Council Meeting - 15 - May 24, 1983
City Engineer Lippitt showed slides of the alleys which needed reconstruction
on Garrett Street between "E" and "F" Streets; that of F and Center Street
between Third Avenue and east and west of Third Avenue between Center Street
and Madrona Avenue.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION: MSUC (Scott/Cox) for staff to brin9 back a report on
recommendations of what area should be an Assessment District and what
should not be and prepare a resolution that would fit that report.
28. MAYOR~S REPORT
a. City Attorney Lindberg stated that he had been contacted by Outdoor
Advertising and they would like to schedule a meeting at the earliest
convenience to discuss the problem of location for programming for
development of the City's ordinance regarding MTDB.
b. MSUC (Cox/Moore) request for a Closed Session for personnel matters at
the end of the Council Agenda.
29. COUNCIL COMMENTS
a. Councilwoman McCandliss questioned City membership in the Economic
Development Corporation and was reassured by Community Development
Director Desrochers that the City has been a member since last August.
b. Councilman Malcolm gave a Legislative report stating he received a
mailgram requesting Council take immediate action on items that have been
previously acted upon. It was suggested that letters be written to State
Senators, Assemblyman or U.S. Senators on: l) SB66 Goldwater (Cable
Industry) 2) SB142 Ellis (Control of Signs; 3) SB 778 Dills (Mandatory
Arbitration) up for reconsideration. 4) SB 575 Joint and Several
Liability.
Councilman Malcolm suggested the Mayor send appropriate letters stating
Council has already taken action.
Councilman Malcolm discussed AB1597 (Costa) which unilaterally allows the
State to decide housing needs and housing elements. He and the
Legislative Committee felt the Council should be able to make those
judgments better than the State and asked to oppose AB 1597.
MSUC (Malcolm/Cox) to send appropriate letters to members of the Assembly
opposing AB 1597.
The Council recessed at 9:10 p.m. to Closed Session for personnel and
litigation. The Deputy City Clerk was excused and the Mayor reported the
