PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
B. Public hearing On the public necessity of acquiring certain
right-of-way for public street purposes (Telegraph
Canyon Road east of Hilltop Drive) (City Engineer)
a. Resolution 11046 Determining and declaring the public necessity of
acquiring certain right-of-way for public street
purposes known as Telegraph Canyon Road east of
Hilltop Drive and authorizing the condemnation
proceedings to acquire said right-of-way
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
City Engineer Lippitt explained that the City Council budgeted funds last year
for the widening of Telegraph Canyon Road between Hilltop Drive and Melrose
Avenue which includes providing curb and gutter on the north side of the
street between Hill top Drive and Hill top Vista Subdivision and gutter on the
south side of the road from Melrose westerly to the existing homes. This will
al so provide two travel lanes and two bike lanes in the street for the entire
length, plus a parking lane adjacent to the homes at the westerly end of the
project. A segment of the roadway which crosses Mr. O'Brien's property was
built by the County many years ago to provide two 12' travel lanes only with
no bike lane or curbing; the right-of-way was never purchased or dedicated.
City Council Meeting - 3 - October 26, 1982
It is the City's position that it has prescriptive rights to the paved portion
of that roadway; however, additional right-of-way is needed in order to
provide the full street sections, i.e., bike lanes and transition across this
property.
The City Engineer's recommendation is that the Council find that the public
interest and necessity require the acquisition and taking of this certain real
property for a street right-of-way.
There being no comments either for or against, the public hearing was declared
closed.
RESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN SCOTT, the reading of the text was waived by
unanimous consent, passed and approved unanimously.
6. Public hearing Consideration of amendment to Bonita Glen Specific
Plan (continued from meeting of October 12, 1982)
(Director of Planning)
a. Resolution Approving an amendment to the sign regulation of the
Bonita Glen Specific Plan
This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Cox opened the public
hearing.
Principal Planner Lee submitted graphics and explained that this item was
continued from the City Council meeting of October 12, 1982, with a request
for staff to meet with the affected property owners to try to obtain a
mutually acceptable solution to the sign regulations. This meeting was held
and the recommendation of the Director of Planning is for the Council to adopt
a motion to amend the Bonita Glen Specific Plan in accordance with Planning
Commission Resolution PCM-83~l, with the added provision that ownership "B"
shall be entitled to lO0 square feet of freestanding sign area and ownership
"C", lO0 square feet, with the added requirement that an easement shall be
granted to ownership "C" {Mr. Ferreira) for the purpose of installing and
maintaining the 100 square foot sign area at some future date, subject to
Planning Commission approval. In the graphic presentation Mr. Lee showed
slides noting the freeway traffic on 1-805 going north and south and the
visibility of proposed signage areas of 100 sq. ft., 150 sq. ft., and up to
350 sq. ft.
In answer to Councilman Malcolm's query, Mr. Lee stated that the Planning
Commission did not resolve the issue of moving the sign to the west in the
public right-of-way area. However, there are no objections on the part of the
staff if the Council approves an encroachment permit.
Mr. Frank Ferreira, 270 Bonita Glen Drive, Chula Vista declared that he was
disturbed because at that meeting, Mr. Lee declared that he would not change
his mind and intends to go along with the present sign recommendation.
Mr. Ferreira accused Mr. Lee of "gross distorting of the facts" in presenting
the graphics to the Council and noted on two of the slides a different concept
of the sign area and location.
· 1 T
City Council Meeting - 4 - October 26, 1982
Mr. Norman Williams, 3404 Bonita Road, Chula Vista, Planning Consultant,
stated that he is representing the three owners, Mr. York, Mr. Ferreira, and
Mr. Hart of Shell Oil Company. They have agreed to all of the conditions
imposed by the Planning Commission with the exception of the size of the
sign. They all concur that they would like a 350 sq. ft. sign area, 45 ft. in
height with the option to add another 25 ft. in height at a later date and
also the possibility of moving the sign into the public right-of-way.
Mr. Gene York, 160 Brightwood Street, Chula Vista, owner of Parcel "B," 805
Properties stated that the individual request of the three owners is for a
total 350 sq. ft. sign area. Mr. York expressed his concern over the timing
and the delays caused by granting the sign area to Denny's Restaurant.
Mr. Ferreira stated that if a sign is designed strictly for Denny's at this
time, he would like to request a requirement that the signage footage be
constructed in such a manner as to accommodate a maximum signage of 350 sq. ft.
There being no further comments either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Council discussion ensued as to the question of how the properties would be
developed; justification for allowing one sign at this time; allowing an
encroachment into the public right-of-way in order to utilize that area and to
reduce the sign area subsequently; at a later time when Parcel "C" is
developed then a sign can be approved for that particular development at that
time; and the three issues at present: where to locate the sign, the size of
the sign, and the height of the sign.
MS (Malcolm/Cox) to direct the staff to proceed with locating the sign in the
public right-of-way issuing an encroachment permit, providing it meets all of
the staff requirements. Discussion of the motion followed in which Councilman
Scott indicated his concern that the three signs were interrelated and the
motion should reject that. Councilman Malcolm withdrew his motion; Mayor Cox
withdrew the second.
MSC (Malcolm/Cox) to approve a total usage of 250 sq. ft. on the property with
the proviso that lO0 sq. ft. be allowed Denny's right now with the location on
the City's easement with a maximum height of 20 ft. (first phase); also that
the footing be engineered to accommodate the other 150 sq. ft. area should the
City Council at a later date feel it is appropriate to issue a permit for the
additional signage. The Shell Oil Company is not part of this signage area.
h f report as amended.
The motion is to approve Alternate "C" of t e star
Discussion of the motion followed with Councilman Scott remarking that he felt
it was premature to approve the total signage area at this time; it was poor
planning; this is an entrance into the City and should reflect a better
signage visibility. Councilwoman McCandliss agreed stating that the property
itself is visible from the freeway area; the sign will only draw more people
to it; the reason for the requested large sign area is so that people driving
on the freeway that miss this turn off would see the sign and drive back.
City Council Meeting - 5 - October 26, 1982
City Engineer Lippitt asked that a separate resolution for the encroachment
permit be brought back to the Council since there would be some conditions
imposed on the approval.
THE MOTION CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Malcolm, Cox, Moore
NOES: McCandliss, Scott
ABSENT: None
(A resolution will be brought back at the next meeting officiating this
action.)
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to bring back a separate resolution for the encroachment
permit.
20. Report on POA (Police) and IAFF (Fire) Negotiations Impasse (Assistant
City Manager)
Negotiations between the Police Officers Association and the International
Association of Firefighters progressed through impasse and mediation with a
State Mediator without reaching agreement with either unit. Under the City's
adopted Employer-Employee Relations Policy, representatives of each unit may
now appear before the City Council as the last step in the process. Following
each unit's presentation, it is expected that the City Council would meet in
closed session to discuss whatever final action the City Council determines
necessary.
Hal King, Lieutenant, Police Department, spoke of his 30 year tenure on the
Police force stating that if he retires now at the age of 55, his retirement
benefit would be $1134 per month. Lieutenant King stated it would be
impossible for him to live on this income at his current status and was told
by the Retirement Officer that he would have to "lower his standard of
living." Lieutenant King asked that the Council approve the 2% at 50
retirement benefits in order to give the policemen some public recognition for
their efforts.
Tom Basinski, Police Officer representing the Police Officers Association,
related some of the testimon~v given by the PERS representatives at the
October 19 meeting. Mr. Basinski said he submitted a number of questions to
the Director of Personnel so that she could call other cities and get answers
to them. He was not able to get any response to these questions. The
questions were:
- What is your contribution rate now;
- What was the rate when 2% at 50 was purchased;
- How many medical retirements versus regular retirements since 2% at 50;
- How many of these retirements came about before the 2% at 50 was
implemented?
City Council Meeting - 6 - October 26, 1982
Mr. Basinski felt that the City Council is confused over the statistics
regarding this plan and asked that discussion begin next week with the City
Manager and the City Council in order to "strip away the fears" that the
Council may have on the 2% at 50 plan. Mr. Basinski also stated that the
Police Officers Association have declared that the only thing they want
through negotiations is a 2% at 50. They will not strike; they will not have
a sick-out; and they will not accept any contract unless it has 2% at 50.
Mr. Basinski added that the officers are uncertain as to whether the issue is
a philosophical one with the Council or an economical one.
Mr. Richard Castle, spokesperson for the Police Officers Associaton
Negotiation Team gave the background of the delays encountered in entering
into negotiations because of the budget deficit. Embarassment was caused when
the City Manager declared there was a surplus fund and not a deficit. At that
time, the police officers felt they were duped. Mr. Castle stated that the
Negotiation Team's mandate from the Association is "do not come back to us
without an agreement for 2% at 50." Mr. Castle also suggested a joint meeting
with the Police Officers Association and the Council to keep the negotiations
open.
Mr. Don Byrum representing the Chula Vista Firefighters referred to his
written report noting the cost of the 2% at 50 plan. He stated that the
Firefighters also are refusing to sign any contract that does not have the 2%
at 50.
Mayor Cox commented that the Council also feels the same frustration with the
negotiation process but these guidelines must be followed.
MSUC (Cox/Malcolm) to meet in Closed Session at the end of this meeting to
discuss employee negotiations.
A recess was called at 9:09 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 9:19 p.m.
CONSENT CALENDAR

the Council and will all be enacted by one motion in the form listed

cause is shown prior to the time the Council votes on the motion to adopt.
MSUC (Cox/McCandliss) to approve the Consent Calendar.
7. Resolution 11047 Encouraging the owner of Janal Ranch to continue
suitable agriculture on remaining lands (Director of
Planning}
The resolution expresses the City Council's desire that the owner of Janal
Ranch continue suitable agricultural operations on the balance of ranch
acreage not encompassed with EastLake I, and, further, it represents an
invitation by Council for a representative of the Sierra Club to participate
in the overall planning of the eastern portion of the Chula Vista Planning
Area.
City Council Meeting - 7 - October 26, 1982
8. Resolution 11048 Expressing intent to consider the Sweetwater Community
Plan in the revision of the Chula Vista General Plan
(Director of Planning)
The Sweetwater Community Plan is an integral part of the San Diego County
General Plan, and guides the growth, development, and conservation of a large
part of the Chula Vista Planning Area. The proposed resolution of intent
would therefor foster cooperation between the Sweetwater Community P1 anning
Group, the residents of the unincorporated territory within the Sweetwater
Valley, and the City of Chula Vista during this municipality's forthcoming
General Plan revision studies.
9. Resolution 11049 Stipulating the interpretation of Proposition M on the
November 2, 1982 ballot amending the Chula Vista City
Charter, Sections 500 and 701 (City Attorney)
The City Council at its meeting of October 19, 1982 agreed that the amendment
to Sections 500 and 701 as set forth in Proposition M should not be
interpreted as authorizing the possibility of placing management level
positions other than that of assistant and deputy department heads for new and
distinctive managerial positions in the unclassified service. They directed
that an appropriate resolution be brought back declaring its intent.

RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES, FIRST READINGS
lO. Resolution ll050 Supporting County Proposition A - Astrea helicopters
(Director of Public Safety)
Proposition A would authorize a special tax for fiscal year 1983-84 only.
Proceeds of the special tax could only be used to purchase five new jet
helicopters and modernize helicopter housing facilities for the Sheriff. The
helicopters would be used for the Sheriffs' law enforcement, search and
rescue, public disaster and fire services operations throughout the County.
Council discussion involved questioning the vintage of the 1947 helicopters as
stated in the report; the concerns of the Council with taxing the people for
$3.25; whether this was a high priority item that justifies the tax; with
30,000 residential units in the City, Chula Vista would pay ~150,000.
Director of Public Safety Winters commented that he would not consider this
the highest priority for Chula Vista; however, Astrea does respond and help
the Police Department in many ways as much as several times a week.

16. Report on SDG&E Franchise (City Attorney)
At the Council meeting of October 5, 1982, the City Council upon receiving
citizen complaints of air pollution resulting from the operation of the SDG&E
power plant in the City of Chula Vista requested that the franchise be
examined to determine what action might be appropriate on the part of the City
to secure a cessation of the polluting activities of the power plant.
City Council Meeting - lO - October 26, 1982
The City Attorney stated that the franchi se does not speak to the issue of
power generation in the City of Chula Vista, but only to the question of the
rights of the San Diego Gas & Electric Company to the use of the public rights
of the City of Chula Vista for the transmission and distribution of gas and
electrical power and the manner in which said rights of way are utilized. It
was further requested that information be relayed as to the possibility of a
renegotiation of the franchise with the thought that in some manner the issue
of air pollution might therefore be resol red. The City Attorney has prepared
this report.
MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) to accept the report.
17. Report - Concerning Hourly and Monthly Cardroom Rates (Director of
Public Safety)
At the City Council meeting of September 28, 1982, staff was directed to bring

County are charging for each cardroom table as well as the hourly rates that
are being char ed to individuals who are playing in these cardrooms. The
Director of Public has this report.
Safety submitted
Director of Public Safety Winters remarked that his agenda statement should be
changed to state that the City of San Diego uses an escalating rate that
starts at $40 per table i f the cardroom has one or two tables instead of five
or more as reflected in his agenda statement.
MSC (McCandliss/Cox) to accept the report. Councilman Malcolm voted no.
Mr. W. W. Turner, 387 Fifth Avenue, Chula Vista, a retired groceryman,
questioned why the charge per table for a cardroom when other businesses in
the City are not charged in the same manner, i.e., restaurants are not charged
per table, grocery stores are not charged per check-out stands. Acting City
Attorney Hatton explained that the regulation governing cardroom licenses are
different than any other business conducted in the City. If there are
complaints, the complaint is directed toward a specific card table and not the
business as a whole.
MSUC (Scott/Moore) to bring the cardroom charges back at budget time.
18. Report - On landscaping the MTDB right of-way (Director of Public Works
Operations)
Director of Public Works Operations Crouse reported that Tom Larwin, General
Manager for MTDB, said that MTDB had no plans to landscape the trolley

planted could not interfere with the trolley operations. In addition, MTDB
will not maintain whatever is planted.
