concerns.

CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
With reference to enforcing storm water discharge regulations, Marvin Winters stated that he
would like to see proactive enforcement of power washing businesses during evening and early
morning hours of operation, since illegal operations by the businesses occurs during these times
to avoid enforcement. As a long term resident and business owner, he felt uncomfortable about
being placed in the middle of having to document these illegal operations and placing himself in
jeopardy to bring these matters forward. He was hopeful that the City would take the lead in the
County on handling storm water run-off issues. Mayor Cox asked Interim City Manager
Thomson to follow-up on Mr. Winters' concerns.
Pam Sherman, representing the Corte Maria neighborhood, stated that neighbors are concerned
about the number of residents proposed for a group home for at-risk deaf children, soon to be
established in the neighborhood. She added that since the students would not be attending local
schools, they would be bused out of the neighborhood, creating traffic and safety issues. She
asked that the number of residents in the group home be kept to four, as opposed to the proposed
six. Mayor Cox clarified that the children have an at-risk status because they are foster children.
She then asked staff to contact the County of San Diego on the matter. Councilmember
Castaneda commented that he had researched the matter, and the state has jurisdiction on such
homes with six or fewer residents; therefore, the City was not involved in the decision-making
process. He stated that the Council public safety subcommittee would be looking at a host of
matters to safeguard existing neighborhoods, as well as working with the state to create changes
to allow the City the ability to enforce regulations. Ms. Sherman also said she was concerned
that the home's square footage would not accommodate six residents. Councilmember
Castaneda replied that staff would contact her on the matter. Deputy Mayor Rindone suggested
that the Council's public safety subcommittee examine ways to provide notification to residents
on such issues.
Barbara Nunnelee, representing Jade Bay Mobilehome Park, thanked the Council and staff for
assisting residents who have been forced to move out of the park. She stated that she would be
forwarding to the Council a list of the park residents' names and the dollar amounts granted to
each of them after the depreciated value of their homes was calculated. She stated that what
happened to these park residents must not ever happen to residents of the other 32 parks in the
City, and she asked the City to adopt an ordinance to protect the City from being overridden by
federal law. Councilmember Castaneda expressed concern about the time the City has spent on
this matter. He asked Community Development staff to provide an accounting of staff time, the
value of vouchers, and City resources that have been provided to assist the residents in
relocation, since the City should be remunerated accordingly to ensure fairness to the taxpayers
of Chula Vista.
Steven Pavka stated that the City's towing fee agreement with various towing companies was
unfair and contained a hidden tax that penalized the elderly, who can least afford it. He asked
that the matter be placed on a future Council agenda. Mayor Cox referred the request to staff.
Theresa Acerro stated that she has received a number of signed petitions opposing the proposed
Home Depot at Third and Moss. She said the neighborhood was concerned about noise impacts
from trucks, traffic safety, and pollution; and she asked the Council to direct staff to come up
with an alternative site plan to remove the trucks from the rear of the affected homes and off of
Moss Street. Mayor Cox referred Ms. Acerro's slide presentation to staff. Deputy Mayor
Rindone asked that staff also delineate steps previously undertaken by the City to mitigate
similar issues for the Albertson's store on Third at J Street.

Russ Hall spoke in support of Deputy Mayor Rindone's referral regarding Home Depot, and
believed the City could alleviate many of the issues. He said this would be a positive project for
the west side. He also asked the Council to direct staff to work with the landlord of the vacant
Ralph's building to encourage another grocery store, since there are only two existing grocery
stores in western Chula Vista.
Jackie Lancaster expressed concern about the draft Environmental Impact Report for the
bayfront and recited a poem expressing concerns about building heights, pollution, traffic
gridlock, and impacts on wildlife. She displayed contact information for the Port District for
community members who wish to contact the Port on the matter.

12. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Deputy Mayor Rindone:
A. Consideration of the establishment of a Health Care Commission.
Deputy Mayor Rindone talked about the potential crisis in the health care industry, particularly
with respect to the location of hospitals, services, medical reimbursement and adequate
emergency rooms. He believed that the Council needed to take a leadership role by establishing
a healthcare commission to deal with healthcare-related issues, make recommendations to the
Council and review potential legislation. He recommended a five-member commission either
appointed by the Council as a whole or with members nominated by individual Councilmember.
Deputy Mayor Rindone moved to establish a healthcare commission. Mayor Cox seconded the
motion for purposes of discussion and then offered a substitute motion to support the concept of
taking a more in-depth look at what a healthcare commission might accomplish, rather than
actually establishing a commission at this time. No action was taken on either motion.
Deputy Mayor Rindone supported the proposed amendment to have staff look at areas they
would want to include, as well as how the City would provide staff support for the proposed
commtsstOn.
Mayor Cox suggested to Interim City Manager Thomson that, together with staff input, calls be
placed to the directors at Scripps and Sharp, as well as Supervisor Cox's' Office, to look at
options.
Councilmember Ramirez spoke in support of the amended motion to explore possible
opportunities for a healthcare commission.
Councilmember McCann asked the status of a previous referral to staff regarding the formation
of a healthcare commission. Assistant City Manager Smith responded that staff communicated
with County staff, who are in the process of compiling a 120-day proposal that addresses some
of the issues expressed by the Council over the past several months. She stated that staff would
be able to provide an update to the Council in the next couple of weeks. Deputy Mayor Rindone
suggested including in the update a delineation of some of the responsibilities that could foster
good communications.

OTHER BUSINESS (Continued)
Councilmember McCann expressed the need for a clear understanding of the impacts on the City
of the closures of Paradise Valley Hospital and the UCSD trauma center. He also suggested
looking at land use policies, redevelopment and affordable housing dollars to provide long-term
care and assisted living facilities and expressed the need to assist Sharp Hospital with its
expansion project by removing bureaucracy. He spoke in support of the Mayor's comments and
working with the County, other municipalities and healthcare organizations to seek solutions.
Councilmember Castaneda spoke in support of Councilmember McCann's comments and
suggested convening a meeting of representatives of local health care providers to get a better
sense of how the City could assist on the matter of healthcare.
Assistant City Manager Smith stated that the Economic Development and Planning staffs
continue to dialogue with healthcare providers around the opportunities for economic
development, expansion of medical services, and the linkage between hospital beds and space
and doctors offices that support that.
Mayor Cox asked staff to provide a status report on the Paradise Valley Hospital for discussion
by the Council.
ACTION:
Deputy Mayor Rindone moved to direct staff to take a look at the structure of a
healthcare commission or alternatives, and to come back to the Council with
information in approximately one month or sooner. Mayor Cox seconded the
motion, and it carried 5-0.
Councilmember McCann wished the community a prosperous New Year and thanked citizens for
the opportunity to serve them.
Councilmember Castaneda also wished everyone a happy New Year.
Councilmember Ramirez commented on two e-mail memos that he circulated to the Council, one
concerning the California Coastal Commission appointment and the other discussing
organizational reforms for the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation (CVRC). With respect
to the Coastal Commission appointment, he asked that the matter be scheduled on the agenda for
January 16 to endorse the appointment of Council member Castaneda, because he believed it was
important for the City to have a voice on the commission to address such matters as the Bayfront
development and power plant. Regarding organizational reforms for the CVRC, he asked that
the Council subcommittee take into consideration his thoughts as contained in the memo.
