HOLIDAY LIGHTING PROGRAM CONCEPT AND DIRECTING STAFF TO DEVELOP A DETAILED
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND AN AMENDMENT TO THE TOWN CENTRE I FINE ARTS
POLICY TO INCLUDE THE DOWNTOWN HOLIDAY LIGHTING PROGRAM--Oue to the
discontinuation of holiday lights and displays on Candy Cane Lane, Council
directed staff to look at other possibilities to continue the holiday lighting
tradition on Third Avenue in the Oowntown area. A task force was formed and a
holiday lighting program was approved by consensus of the task force. Per staffs
recommendation, the resolution was approved 4-0-0-1 (Rindone abstained)
(Community Development Director) 01-1

Humber Rindone commented that he would be abstaining as he lives in the
neighborhood. This resolution needs to be decided based on its merits and not
the fact that a volunteer program by residents for forty-one years has stopped.
To create a festive holiday activity in the community is a very positive thing,
and it is in this spirit that the Council should use these resources.
Pam Buchan, Principal Community Development Specialist, indicated they were
proposing three recommendations, as outlined in the staff report, and one
additional. The first recommendation includes: a) Public decorative lighting
displays in the downtown area along Third Avenue, the E Street entry, Memorial
Park, and public parking lots; b) The Downtown Business Association would
participate by lighting and decorating downtown commercial buildings; c) A
Santa's workshop in Memorial Park with community organizations developing a
series of holiday activities in Memorial Bowl. The second recommendation would
direct staff to provide a detailed implementation plan specifying lighting
displays, costs, and scheduling. The third recommendation would be to amend the
Town Centre Fine Arts policy to include the downtown holiday lighting program.
Then additionally, due to time constraints, expend $30,000 from the Town Centre
I budget to upgrade the electrical circuit on the Third Avenue street lamps.
These funds would be reimbursed from the Fine Arts fund after we amend the Fine
Arts policy. This additional recommendation needs to be included in the
resolution.
Member Salas stated that she was disappointed that the Fine Arts policy was not
a part of the report, and she requested a copy. It was unclear how far of a
stretch it would be to use the Fine Arts fund for Christmas lighting. The whole
discussion of whether or not we have Christmas lights really pointed out that we
don't always recognize a resource or a jewel in our community until it is gone.
As she was born and raised in the City of Chula Vista and visited Candy Cane Lane
as a child, a parent, and now as a grandmother, she expressed her appreciation
to the residents of Candy Cane Lane. Taking into consideration the work, expense
and disruption to their lives over the past forty-one years we have not voiced
our appreciation enough. Their efforts will be missed and that is why we are
spending hard dollars on Christmas lighting.
Ms. Buchan responded that she would make sure a copy of the policy was delivered
and staff would return within six to eight weeks with an amendment.
Member Padilla asked if the $30,000 to be reimbursed from Town Centre I is in the
budget and when would it be reimbursed.
Ms. Buchan replied that they would return within two months with the
implementation plan and would ask for the actual appropriation from Fine Arts at
that time.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
2.a) PUBLIC HEARING: CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF THE ISSUANCE OF TAX EXEMPT
OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED VILLA SERENA SENIOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECT--The City has received a request from Sunbow Center L.P. to issue $8
million in Tax Exempt Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds to finance the proposed
l32-unit Villa Serena Apartments for low-income seniors located on the northeast
corner of Medical Center Drive and Medical Center Court within the Sunbow II
subdivision. As required by federal tax law governing the issuance of tax
exempt bonds, a public hearing must be held by an elected representative of the
governmental unit having jurisdiction with regard to the intent to issue such
bonds. Therefore, Counc il is asked to hold a public hearing regarding the
Housing Authority's intent to issue tax exempt bonds for the financing of the
project. Additionally, it is requested that the Authority adopt a resolution
expressing its intent to issue tax exempt bonds for the project and the Council
adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance, sale and delivery of the bonds by
the Authority. As per staff's recommendation, Housing Authority Resolution HA-08
and Council Resolution 19256 were approved 4-0-1 (Rindone absent). (Community
Development Director)
2.b) HOUSING AUTHORITY RESOLUTION HA-08 REGARDING ITS INTENTION TO ISSUE
TAX EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS FOR THE VILLA SERENA APARTMENTS
2.c) COUNCIL RESOLUTION 19256 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE, SALE AND
DELIVERY OF MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS BY THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA FOR THE VILLA SERENA APARTMENTS
Juan Arroyo, Housing Coordinator, stated that they were successful in obtaining
bond commitment from Citlak. The developer will be coming back to the authority
in February 1999 to request final approval for the issuance of these bonds. The
133 unit development for affordable low income housing for seniors is proposed
to be restricted for a period of 52 years. This will satisfy the low income

housing requirements of the Sunbow II community which is now well underway. The
proposed site is adjacent to the Veteran's Home project, an excellent site for
such a development. Even though the City's highest priority is for the
development of affordable housing for family units, because of the site and its
amenities directly related to senior needs this is an ideal site for this
project. It is anticipated that the developer will request financial assistance
in the amount of $275,000 in the near future. Staff will return to Council in
February 1999 with a full financial analysis, assuming all financial commitments
have been met. Secured construction is expected to begin sometime in the summer
of 1999.
Member Moot stated that he concurred with Council and staff that this is an
excellent project at a very good site.

3. COUNCIL RESOLUTION 19257 AND AGENCY RESOLUTION 1606 APPROVING AN EXCLUSIVE
NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO OWNER PARTICIPATION RIGHTS WITH AGENCY TUCHSCHER
DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISES, INC. REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OF A MIXED USE PROJECT ON
THE MIDBAYFRONT PROPERTY--Tuchscher Development Enterprises, Inc. has requested
an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement for one year, with an option for a six month
extension, in order to develop plans, pursue entitlements, secure financing and
negotiate a Disposition and Oevelopment Agreement to develop a 126.8 acre area
located on the Midbayfront. The 2.7 mill ion sq. ft. mixed use proposal
incorporates resort, multi-family residential, R&D/office, entertainment/retail,

of the effective date of the Agreement. (Community Development Director)
4. COUNCIL RESOLUTION 19258 AND AGENCY RESOLUTION 1607 APPROVING A PROJECT
STAFFING/CONSULTANT AND PROCESSING AGREEMENT WITH TUCHSCHER
AGENCY DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISES, INC. FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A MIXED USE PROJECT ON
THE MIDBAYFRONT PROPERTY - Tuchscher Development Enterprises, Inc. is proposing
to develop a portion of the Midbayfront with a 2.7 million sq. ft. mixed use
project comprised of resort, multi-family residential, R&D/office,
entertainment/retail, and active park and open space. The proposed project will
require a number of entitlements, permits and approvals including, but not
limited to, General Plan, Specific Plan and Local Coastal Program amendments, an
Environmental Impact Report, and a Tentative and Final Map. The proposed
Agreement would provide the Developer with assigned professional staff and
consultants in order to process the project in a timely manner and would ensure
the Agency/City is reimbursed for expenses incurred in processing the Developer's
applications. Staff recommends approval of the resolutions. (Community

5. COUNCIL RESOLUTION 19259 AND AGENCY RESOLUTION 1608 APPROVING LOANS IN THE
TOTAL AMOUNT OF $169,000 TO SOUTH BAY COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE ACQUISITION OF
TWO PROPERTIES FOR THEIR OPERATION AS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS OR VERY
~-.:;-
LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND THE APPROPRIATION OF $117,900 FROM THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA'S HOME FUNDS AND $51,100 FROM THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY'S LOW AND MODERATE
INCOME HOUSING SET-ASIDE FUND THEREFOR - South Bay Community Services (SBCS) has
leased two condominiums through the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development's Single Family Property Disposition Program for the maximum time
limit of four years. These condominiums are used as housing for women and
children left homeless as a result of domestic violence. With the expiration of
the lease SBCS must now purchase the condominiums for the below market price
offered by HUD in order to continue and maintain these condominiums for their
transitional living programs or housing for very low income f amil ies. SBCS
requests that the Agency and City provide financial assistance to support the
acquisition of these condominiums for their continued use as confidential
domestic violence shelter sites, other transitional living programs, or housing
for very low income families. (Community Development Director) 4/5ths Vote
Required
Juan Arroyo, Housing Coordinator, stated that the proposal is consistent with the
City's housing element and consolidated affordable housing plan. The proposal
also provides SBCS the opportunity to continue providing housing for families
left homeless due to domestic violence and for other transitional housing needs.
The condominiums location is confidential because of the nature of the use, but
one of the units is east of 805 and the other is west of 805. 80th condominiums
are close to 100 plus-unit-type developments that are in very good condition.
This is an important effort that meets our objectives to deal with the many
housing needs in our community.
Member Padilla stated that any opportunity to maintain a program that assists
people who are literally refugees from their own homes due to domestic violence
is important.
MEMBER PADILLA OFFERED RESOLUTION 19259 AND AGENCY RESOLUTION 1608, heading read,
text waived. Resolution approved 4-0-1 (Rindone absent),
6.a) AGENCY RESOLUTION 1609 AND COUNCIL RESOLUTION 19260 APPROVING THE
DOWNTOWN HOLIDAY LIGHTING PROGRAM - On 8/4/98, the Agency/Council approved a
conceptual plan for the Downtown Holiday Lighting Program and directed staff to
provide a detailed program implementation plan and to amend the Town Centre I
Fine Arts Policy to include the Holiday Lighting Program. On 10/6/98, the Agency
approved the proposed amendment to the Town Centre I Fine Arts Policy. The
proposed Downtown Holiday Lighting Program as well as a contract with DEKRA-LITE
for the implementation of the Downtown Holiday Lighting Program is presented this
evening for consideration by the Agency/Council. Per staff's recommendation,
Agency Resolution 1609 and Council Resolution 19260 were approved 4-0-1 (Rindone
absent). (Community Development Director)
6.b) AGENCY RESOLUTION 1610 ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH DEKRA-LITE
FOR MANUFACTURE, INSTALLATION, REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF DECORATIONS FOR THE
DOWNTOWN HOLIDAY LIGHTING PROGRAM AND APPROVING $91,907.31 THEREFOR
Pam Buchan, Principal Community Development Specialist, stated that
representatives from Dekra-Lite were available in the audience to answer any
questions.
Chris Salomone, Community Development Director, stated they had a video from
Dekra-Lite and an extensive presentation that pretty much mirrored the material
in the agenda packet.
Member Salas asked the following questions:
1. Was there a selection committee?

RDA Minutes
November 10, 1998
Page 4
2. Is the Downtown Business Association subsidizing the program with $4,000 a
year?
3. Was their any type of survey conducted with the other business owners as to
their acceptance of this project?
4. What percentage of the businesses does the DBA represent?
5. Was the amount already appropriated from the Fine Arts Fund for the 1998
lighting program $91,907 with a recurring annual cost of $10,000 correct?
Ms. Buchan responded:
1. A task force had been formed consisting of staff and six merchants.
2. The DBA had agreed to $4,000 a year contribution.
3. There was no adverse reactions to the program from business owners.
4. The DBA represents about 350 merchants and professionals in the downtown
area.
5. Those amounts are correct.
Member Salas asked the following:
1. What part of the decorations are warranted and for what length of time?
2. What is the life expectancy of these decorations?
3. How often are we going to spend an additional $91,000 to keep the decorations
looking nice?
Derka-Lite responded with the following:
1. The guarantee covers all steel frames for six years, garland for three years,
and computers and/or lighting components for one year.
2. Around five to seven seasons, decorations are well taken care of and stored
on racks during the off-season.
3. Typically after five to seven seasons people want to change their decorations
anyway.
Member Salas replied that she was concerned that after the initial cost that they
would be investing another $100,000 in five to six years.
Mayor Horton stated that this was a start and we are hoping to expand on this
program and really create something very substantial. If it gets to the point
where its very similar to what Oel Mar has it could be self-supporting by
charging for cars to go through. Yet it provides a wonderful atmosphere during
the holidays for the children and families.
Member Salas replied that they had talked about recouping costs by charging
visitors to drive through and the business community objected as a negative
business enticement.
Mayor Horton replied that one of the reasons for going into the park area was
that in the future we can create something wonderful and separate from the street
lighting.
Member Salas replied that the cost was very upsetting, but she would support it
because the funds were specifically earmarked from the Fine Arts Fund. She was
concerned what the community would say, especially after hearing testimony from
Joann Angel regarding the graffiti problem. We will probably have some inquiries
from the public as to why we are spending so much money on holiday 1 ighting
instead of graffiti eradication.
Member Padilla stated that he would like a short response from Derka-Lite
regarding their company. c::2 ... i
1 ìí
Derka-Lite responded that their firm is 11 years old and they have the backing
of the manufacturer who has been in business for 51 years. Their clients include
Universal Studios, Disneyland, Seegstroms, and the Irvine Company. They are the
largest provider of holiday lighting on the west coast servicing Arizona, Nevada,
and california.
Mayor Horton, stated that even though a very small portion of the funds were
coming from the DBA they planning on participating and investing more money in
the future.
Buchan, replied that a financial commitment from DBA indicates that they will
provide $4,000 annually for maintenance and installation. The DBA membership is
participating in several other ways this year other than financially. They will
have at least ten of their buildings between F and E Street with significant
decorations, much more than just a string of lights and a wreath. At least five
businesses have signed contracts for exhibits and displays for their buildings
and five others are working towards that end. They have also committed to
building a Santa's workshop in Memorial Park, where you can have your picture
taken with Santa. Hopefully we will have two to three activities in the bowl area
of Memorial Park. But they have not committed more dollars.
Mayor Horton asked how much of the lighting and decorations will be in place by
December 5, the night of the parade.
Dekra-Lite responded that they are planning to have all of the large cobra-head
displays and most importantly the E Street entry way finished for the night of
the parade. The balance of the bigger presentation to be completed by the 9'"
of December 1998. With everything going smoothly and all products coming in on-
time we anticipate that the trellis', palm trees and medians will be wrapped with
colored lights to add excitement for the foot traffic by Oecember 5, 1998.
Mayor Horton asked if the Santa and his sleigh would be included.
Dekra-Lite responded that they are looking for a nice place downtown for adding
santa and his sleigh.
Pam Buchan replied that it had been discussed with one of the downtown business
people who had a nice flat roof between E Street and Davidson. We are discussing
this further with the consultant and well on our way to accomplishing this add-
on. It is in our contingency plan and we have talked to our attorneys and hope
to do a good job with it.
Member Salas stated that after looking at the itemized breakdown cost for
installation, removal, and storage of $14,000 it really made her appreciate what
the City had for 40 years on Candy Cane Lane. We really need to thank them for
all that they did for so many years.
Mayor Horton asked what the annual charge of $250 was.
Dekra-Lite responded that they buy the best mini-lights available, unfortunately
we have not found the perfect mini-light, and they need to be replaced each year,
it's a small expense.
Mayor Horton stated that she was very pleased to hear that the downtown
businesses would be participating by providing additional decorations in their
windows and buildings. I think that will complement what staff is providing.

the resolutions were approved 4-0-1 (Salas absent). (Community Development
Director) Continued from the meeting of November 10, 1998.
Chris Salomone, Community Development Director, stated the Council has used this
process on numerous projects in the past, where an exclusive negotiating
agreement is granted to a developer. Projects such as the Power Center, Coors
Amphitheater, Walmart Center, and Bonita Hotel have used this type of agreement.
This agreement gives the developer the opportunity to shape a project, present
it in stages, do an environmental review, meet milestones, and issue progress
reports. It also authorizes staff to use consultants and staff time on that
project. The Midbayfront is a fairly significant project consisting of 126.8
acres and is critical to the future of the western side of the City. Staff is
pleased to report that the agreement between the developer and land owner is
eminent. The action recommended will begin a 15-month long period of discovery.
The discovery period will focus on milestones where the public and Council will
be invited to forums and public hearings to view project documents. Mr. Salomone
replied that it is a mixed-use project; comprised of a 450-room hotel, a 1000-
unit residential component, a large commercial/shopping center, an entertainment
convenience center, and about 20 acres for R&D and light industrial use.
Member Moot asked about the overlook park at the foot of F Street. The staff
report indicated that it's an 8.5 acre park with direct access off of F Street
to the Bayfront for anyone using that park.
Mr. Salomone replied it will be a benefit to the Chula Vista community as well
as people visiting our City. There will also be the typical buffer zones rimming
the edge of the property because of the National Wildlife Refuge. This buffer
zone could be used for jogging trails, kiosks, and educational resources.
Member Moot responded that access by the public to the Bayfront and a large park
in this area is appropriate. It's impressive that the developer is staying very
consistent with the City's desire to construct a major park on the West side, one
that takes direct advantage of the Bay.
Member Rindone stated that he has always promoted these types of projects. One
of the sacred benefits that our community desires is access to the Bayfront.
This hasn't occurred for over two decades because access has been restricted.
One of the concerns is that certain restrictions could be imposed by the Port
that would deny the public true access to the water. Could a water taxi be
incorporated into the basic design parameters of this project?
Mr. Salomone replied that the developer has already met with the resource and
environmental groups, who have looked at connecting this site to the southwest
marine site. It is contemplated that this site could be accessed via a boardwalk
allowing access to water taxis, but we are not there yet.
Member Rindone stated that this allows for access to Chula Vista's other portions
of the Bayfront and the triangular trade with Coronado, Sea Port Village, and the
San Diego Convention Center. When the city of San Diego was negotiating for the
Super Bowl in 2002, having access to enough hotel rooms was very important.
Access around the triangular trade area would enhance the City of San Diego's
position and be very beneficial for the Port to promote. Hopefully as this
project goes forth, it will open up a myriad of opportunities, both to Chula
Vista and San Diego
Member Padilla stated that any embarkation on realizing the Bayfront dream is a
leap of faith and as a member of the Council he is pleased that the City is
moving forward with someone like Will iam Tuchscher. The proposal that Mr.
Tuchscher has brought to us will form a relationship that will involve a lot of

review, discussion, and dialogue. Mr. Tuchscher has served the City for many
years and is well aware of the City's leadership's commitment to the community.
The City's goal for water access is a key point in terms of what should occur on
the Bayfront as well as making the economics work.

Member Rindone commented that the citizens of Chula Vista watching these
proceedings may not understand all of the nuances of motions and amendments. The
contingency of the signing of the agreement between the developer and the
landowner on the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement is good public policy. Without
this agreement we would not advocate going into a project of this magnitude. He
did not believe that the City has ever gone into an Exclusive Negotiating
Agreement unless there was an agreement between the developer and the landowner.
Making the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement contingent upon the agreement being
signed by the developer and the landowner will allow the City to go forward for
the next fifteen months.

SUBMITTED BY: legislative Committee
David D, Rowlands, Jr., City Manager
REVIEWED BY: Executive Direct~ 14/5ths Vote: Yes- No_X..!
BACKGROUND:
On December 31.1998, the current agreement with The Wilson Group expires. The agreement provides for three
two-year extensions to coincide with the state legislative sessions. and the Wilson Group has requested that the
existing agreement be extended. The Wilson Group has fulfilled its contractual obligations to date and has met
staff expectations.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council/Redevelopment Agency extend the agreement with The Wilson
Group for two years (proposed agreement attached as exhibit "A"). The effective period of the extended contract
will be January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2000.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Support staff's tecommendation.
DISCUSSION:
Background
In December of 1996. Council and the Redevelopment Agency approved an agreement which retained the
legislative advocacy services of The Wilson Group for the 1996.1998 state legislative session. Contained in the
agreement is an option for renewal for three two-year periods coinciding with the state legislative sessions. This
is the first of the extension options. In a recent letter to the City's Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator, the
Wilson Group formally requested that the City authorize the firm to continue representing Chula Vista as the
City/Agency lobbyist, with such authorization expiring 12131/2000.

Meeting Date 12/15/98
Scope of Work
The existing agreement designates The Wilson Group as Chula Vista's official legislative advocate with the
California State legislature, State agencies, boards and commissions, or other legislative bodies, as well as the
league of California Cities. Further, the agreement requires that the CityfAgency be provided with comprehensive
legislative services, including:
1. Review of all bills introduced in the California legislature, informing the City of all State legislation affecting
the City's interests and forwarding a copy of such bills to the City (recent technological improvements now
allow the City staff to download the text of most bills from the Internet, thereby negating the need for hard
copies of these bills to be mailed);
2. Attending all league of California Cities' regular "City representative" meetings and briefings;
3, Tracking legislation of interest to the City, maintaining bill records and sending weekly updated information
on these bills to the City;
4. Arranging meetings with legislative representatives and performing those customary duties of legislative
advocacy on behalf of the City to the best of their ability, experience and expertise;
5. Gathering data and providing information to the City on such matters as:
. Slate Agency and department regulations, guidelines, directives and other instruments of
administrative policy which may impact Council/Agency operations;
. Funding opportunities for proposed City and Agency projects and maximizing use of all available
State resources for financing City programs and mandates;
. Hearings, reports and testimony of interest to the City,
9. Representing the Council/Agency in meetings with state agencies, boards, commissions and legislative bodies;
10. Developing legislative initiatives to assist in the implementation of the CouncilfAgency legislative program;
11. Tracking and monitoring propositions and initiatives at the State level and keeping the City apprised of
proposals which impact CityfAgency services.
Performance of Service
Over the course of the 1996.199B state legislative session, The Wilson Group performance rose to meet the level
of expectation of the City, When Chula Vista's aggressive legislative program proved difficult to accommodate
with the firm's existing staffing resources, an additional member was added to the Wilson Group staff specifically
for the purpose of addressing local government issues, The firm dramatically improved its ability to respond
quickly to requests for information and action and to provide timely and accurate reports on the status of
proposals being supported or opposed by the City.
..J...,)..
_. ..
Page 3, Item ...J
Meeting Date 12/15/98
In addition, the firm consistently looked for ways to improve the services it provides to Chula Vista, More
effective and efficient forms of communication were put to use during the past two years which have significantly
reduced the time needed to review changes in legislation, as well as to provide updated information on positions
the City has taken on various proposals. To that end, the firm has developed a web page which electronically links
the City to such sites as the Senate bill room, various news media and other valuable sources of information.
The firm provided crucial information during the state budget process which required:
8 attendance at critical late-evening and weekend legislative sessions,
8 last-minute research regarding changing bill analyses and legislators' positions,
8 delivery of letters of support or opposition directly to legislators in the critical hours before
committee and floor votes, and
8 providing testimony before legislative committees which prevented passage of a proposal which
would have prohibited the City from collecting a business license fee on home-based businesses,
For these reasons, the staff submits is recommendation that the firm's contract be extended for an additional two
years to coincide with the next legislative session.
Proposed Agreement Amendment
Term
The existing agreement expires on December 31, 1998. As referenced above, The Wilson Group has requested
that the agreement be extended for two years to coincide with the next legislative session. Staff recommends
that this extension be granted.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of the recommended action is a maximum of $65,800 per year, or a total
of $131,600 for the two-year term of the contract. Sufficient funds are available to carry this contract through
the end of this fiscal year. Staff will return with a request for the remaining funds in the FY 1999/2000 budget.
Fees and Expenses
The existing agreement states: "For performance of all of the Defined Services by Consultant as herein
required, City shall pay a single fixed fee in the amounts and at the times or milestones or for the Deliverables
set forth below:
8 Single Fixed Fee Amount $61,200 per year payable as follows: 12 equal monthly payments of $5,100.
J...3
r Ii
Page 4, Item ..3.
Meeting Date 12/15/98
For the cost of expenses incurred by Consultant in the performance of services herein required, City shall
reimburse Consultant up to $400 total per month for the expenses set forth below:
8 copies
8 travel, or pro-rated portion as directly related to City
8 printing
8 postage
8 delivery
8 long distance telephone charges
8 other actual identifiable direct costs:
. Bill Room Copy Service
- Computerized Bill Tracking Service
Although the fiscal impacts of many of The Wilson Group's efforts can be difficult to estimate, there in ample
evidence that the actions of the City's lobbyist were critical in 1998 to Chula Vista's success in efforts such as:
8 securing the State's supplemental subvention payment owed to the City's Redevelopment Agency since 1994
($53,659)
8 obtaining special appropriations for Chula Vista parks projects ($254,300)
8 preventing passage of legislation which would have eliminated the City's ability to collect a business license
tax from home-based businesses ($100,000 annual loss)
Coming fiscal issues will include constitutional protection for the City's current fiscal resources, reinstatement
of the bank in-lieu fee to cities, and reexamination of the imposition of booking fees on local government.

the EIR and the planning and engineering services. Nine consultants responded to the EIR RFP. The Planning and
Engineering RFP was issued to seven consultants who had been previously been placed on an as-needed list for
such services. The as-needed list was derived from twelve Statements of Qualification that were submitted in

Meeting Date 12/15/98
ITEM TITLE: COUNCIL RESOLUTION /q3¿¥
AGENCY RESOLUTION /1>14 AMENDING THE FY 199B-99 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT BUDGET TO ADD STAFF AND RELATED COMPUTERS,
OFFICE EQUIPMENT, AND RESOURCES, AND AMENDING THE FY 199B-99
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, CDBG AND HOME PROGRAM BUDGETS TO REIMBURSE
THE GENERAL FUND FOR THESE COSTS
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director <-~ ç,
REVIEWED BY: Executive Directo~ (4/5ths Vote: Yesà No-.J
BACKGROUND:
In light of recent City departmental changes as well as the anticipated increased workload for the Community
Development Department, the City Manager requested that the department evaluate staffing and resource needs
and bring forward to Council a request for additional resources. The Department is recommending improvements
in the areas of staffing, training and professional development, computers/office equipment, and other related
resources.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency approve the resolution amending
the 1 99B-99 Community Development Department, CDBG, HOME Program and Redevelopment Agency budgets
to add staff and related computers, office equipment and resources.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
DEPARTMENT BUDGET REQUEST
The report will summarize the requested resources in the following general categories: 1) Personnel, 2)
Computers/Office Equipment, 3) Training/Professional Development, and 4) Office Furniture/Improvements.
Before discussing the request in detail, it is important to note that the Oepartment staffing request is purposely
focused on short.term needs because of: 1) the commitment to ensuring that actual workload demand warrants
additional staff, 2) the unknown impacts of filling two existing vacancies, and 3) the acknowledgment that
5- (
-. .. -.-
Page 2, Item Æ
Meeting Date 12/15/98
economic and other organizational circumstances could change in the near future. Therefore, the Department will
likely, as part of next year's budget process, elect to request further staffing if necessary and appropriate.
The tables below summarize the department request by funding source and by general categories, As indicated,
the total requested budget increase is $110,695 to be spread over the four identified non-General Fund sources,
REQUEST: FUNDING SOURCE:
Personnel $46,695 RDA $78,724
ComputerslOffice Equipment 50,250 lOW/MOD 22,542
T raining/Professional Development 6,750 CDBG 8,071
Office Furniture/lmprovements 7,000 HOME 1,358
TOTAL $110,695 $110,695
1. PERSONNEL
The Department proposes to add one f1) new position, "Senior Planner," and reclassify two f2) existing positions
assigned to the Economic Development and Housing divisions from Community Development Speciafist 1/11 to
Senior Community Development Specialist.
Included as Attachment 1 is the department organizational chart which reflects the existing staffing arrangement
and highlights the proposed changes. As indicated, the Department currently has a total of seventeen (17)
positions organized within three (3) major divisions: Redevelopment. Housing, and Economic Development. The
addition of the Senior Planner position would bring the total positions in the Department to eighteen (18) comprised
of fourteen (14) professional and four (4) support staff.
Senior Planner $21,940
With the recently approved merger of Planning with Building and Housing, Council was made aware of the
challenges facing the Planning and Building Department over the next several years relative to the dramatic growth
to the east.
Community Development is similarly challenged as well in order to respond to rising demands from the development
community and the need to increase proactive efforts in the areas of affordable housing generation and economic
development projects and programs. As a result, both the Community Development and Planning and Building
departments concur that Community Development should have a Senior Planner position dedicated solely for
Community Development projects.
The Senior Planner (a middle management position equivalent to the Environmental Projects Manager and the
Principal Community Development Specialist) will be utilized and function in a similar manner as the Department's
.$~.¿
- u
Page 3, Item .§
Meeting Date 12/15/98
Environmental Projects Manager, The position will be responsible for overall day. to-day coordination and
processing of the planning components of Community Development projects, including ensuring that the Planning
and Building Department is consulted on planning policy issues. The individual would be the Planning Department's
contact person and held responsible for handling most planning matters on Community Development projects just
as the Environmental Projects Manager is responsible for environmental compliance matters, The Department also
plans to utilize outside planning consultant firms on an as-needed project.by-project basis. The Senior Planner will
be responsible for managing the consultants.
The individual selected for the position will need to be able to interact effectively with the development
community, while also understanding City planning policies and working well with the Planning and Building
Department to gain consensus on planning policy issues. In evaluating comparable positions in the Planning
Department, it was determined that the "Senior" classification would be the best fit for the needed knowledge
and skill level to perform the expected duties.
The current year fiscal impact of the position (salary and benefits from March 1) will be $21,940 with a projected
fiscal impact in FY 99-00 of $71,650. Since the position will be working on all department development projects,
it can be funded from RDA (65%), low/Mod Housing (20%), CDBG (10%), and HOME (5%) funds.
Communitv Develooment Soecialist 1111 Reclassifications $6,390
The Departmenl is also requesting reclassifications of two (2) Community Development Specialist 1/11 positions
to "Senior Community Development Specialist" The positions are currently assigned to the Economic
Development and Housing Divisions.
Current staffing in the Housing Division is: a Housing Coordinator and two (2) CD Specialist 1/11 positions. The
focus of the Specialist position has changed over time from a training position to that of a skilled journey-level.
Workload necessitates that the incumbent have responsibility for effectively handling compliance monitoring and
program development/implementation for the increasing volume and sophistication of affordable housing projects
and programs. The Housing Division has a full complement of projects and programs that are underway and
emerging. As these projects and programs come on-line, there will be an increasing need for compliance monitoring
and other higher level functions that currently fall outside of the job description for the Community Development
Specialist 1/11 classifications, The current year impact is projected to be $2,607 with an anticipated impact for
FY 99-00 of $5,033.
The Economic Development Division is currently staffed by an Economic Development Manager and one
Community Development Specialist 1/11. The requested reclassification of the Community Development Specialist
1/11 would reinstate the classification level the division had previously. Recently, due to the need for higher level
project management personnel in the Redevelopment Division, the only existing Senior classification in the
Department was reassigned from Economic Development to Redevelopment and was backfilled with a vacant
Community Development Specialist 1/11 position. The Economic Development Division needs a Senior Community
~~.3

Page 4, Item $
Meeting Date 12/15/98
Development Specialist position in order to effectively respond to existing high priority demands of program
development, project management and business outreach. The current year fiscal impact will be $3.783 with an
anticipated impact for FY 99.00 of $7,458. The increased compensation for the current year will be absorbed
by the Redevelopment Agency, but in future years the position will be subject to some level of funding from the
General Fund which is currently set at approximately 35%. If the same percentage funding from the General Fund
is applied to this position next year, the impact of the reclassification action to the General Fund would be
approximately $2,610 (35% of $7,4581.
Redevelooment Coordinator $18,365
The Department would like to recruit for a new Redevelopment Coordinator in January, The incumbent will be
retiring in May 1999. The expectation is that the new Coordinator will be able to be mentored by the current
Coordinator and therefore have benefit of valuable history and insight on the projects that he/she will be
responsible for pursuing when they come on board. If approved, it is anticipated that the new Coordinator can
be hired by March 1 thereby resulting in an overlap period of approximately three (3) months and a corresponding
approximate fiscal impact of $18,365 (salary and benefits I. In order to accomplish this, the Department requests
Council approval of a .25 "Redevelopment Coordinator" position to be added to the Department's budget for the
anticipated overlap period of March 1 through May 31,1999. The additional position will be eliminated when the
incumbent retires in May.
2. COMPUTERSIOFFICE EQUIPMENT
Attachment 2 is a summary list of all of the requested enhancements for reference. There are a number of smaller
items listed, however for purposes of this report, the larger or significant items are discussed below,
a. Purchase four (4) new personal computers and monitors. $9,000
One (1) for the new Senior Planner position if approved, and three (3) to replace the remaining 486's in the
Department. This will then result in each member of the department having a pentium computer with the
capabilities to run the same software to share documents and communicate more effectively in an intra.
department "network" environment. This request was reviewed and approved by Management Information
Systems (MISI.
b, Purchase a Department Opaque Projector and Laptop System $10,000
(presentation hardware system).
The City currently has two (21 presentation systems purchased by the Police Department which are "loaned"
out on a request by request basis. Although this has proven to be sufficient to date, the Department, given
the business we conduct, is in need of a separate Department system that can be available for use at all
s--1
Page 5, Item S
Meeting Date 12/15/98
times. The Department is confident that if the system is readily available, it will be used for a variety of
other expanded uses and opportunities. The estimated cost of a new system is $10,000.
c. Color Copier. $10,000
The City currently takes color copying jobs to outside vendors (such as Kinko's) at a $1 to $2 per page
depending on the size of the paper. The Department feels strongly that the copier will be cost effective over
the long run when considering the "per page" and staff time cost savings. The Department's marketing
efforts and products have dramatically increased over the last year or so both in terms of the number of
product types, as well as quality. For large jobs, particularly business recruitment presentation and proposal
packets, the print jobs need to be sent to an outside vendor at a substantial cost.
Staff would like to further expand our marketing capabilities and efficiencies. The addition of a color copier
will have a positive impact on that effort. We anticipate doing a variety of specialized economic development
marketing efforts for the Bayfront, Downtown, and Otay Valley which are all Council "Areas of
Improvement" (see Department work plans). Although the copier would be located in the Community
Development Department, other departments will also use it for a variety of Citywide purposes including a
number of our Citywide public information programs.
d. Aerial Photographs. $12,800
This request is to update and replace the existing Citywide framed aerials (as well as add a few new ones)
that are utilized throughout the City including the Mayor, Administration, and other City Department Heads.
There are a number of developments (including the Otay Ranch annexation) that have occurred since the
previous version (June 1994) so it is in need of an update. The request is for thirty (3D) aerials at
approximately $400 each or $12,000. Two of the 30 will be mounted on foam board which can then be
used for meetings and presentations.
Additionally, this request includes four individual project area aerials mounted on foam board for the
Bayfront, Town Centre I, Otay Valley Road, and Southwest project areas. These tools would be extremely
beneficial for meetings and presentations and are approximately $200 each for a total of $800,
3. TRAINING/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT $6.750
The current combined Department training and professional development budget is $9,250. The Department
requests an additional $3,900 for training and $2,850 for conferences and professional development. The
combined training and professional development request would, in essence, restore the budget to the previous level
before the necessary budgetary cutbacks over the last five years. The increased budget will allow for staff to
attend workshops and annual conferences, pay individual and Department professional association dues, take
professional development courses of study, and other specialized training and professional development that would
5--.s-
1 F
Page 6, Item ~
Meeting Date 12115/98
not be covered or offered through the new Training and Development Division in the Human Resources
Department.
4. OFFICE FURNITURE/IMPROVEMENTS
a. Office Furniture $3,500
The major requests for new office furniture is for the new Senior Planner ($2,000) and the Community
Development Specialist in the Housing ~ivision ($1,500). The new Senior Planner will need a desk, chair,
credenza, bookshelf, filing cabinet and two (2) side (visitor) chairs. The CD Specialist in Housing inherited
furniture which is in bad need of replacement. The request is for desk, bookcase, and filing cabinet. There
are two other minor requests which can be reviewed on Attachment 2.
b. Office Improvements $2,000
The only request for physical improvements is for a new floor "counter height" work cabinet that will be
necessary for the color copier area. The cabinet/counter will have built in storage space for supplies and
materials, as well as provide for much needed working space for putting together work products associated
with the color copier. It is anticipated that the Department will submit a few minor CIP requests in next
year's budget for other minor improvements to the main Community Development building as well as the
Housing Division suite in the legislative Office Building.
SUMMARY:
The recommended budget increase will enhance Community Development staff's ability to address the existing
workload demands in the Department. As stated previously, however, the Department may request additional
staffing resources as part of next year's budget depending on existing and anticipated workload issues at that
time.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All costs for additional staff, equipment, training, and miscellaneous requested resources totaling $110,695 will
be covered by existing available reserves from the Redevelopment Agency project area funds ($78,724), the low
and Moderate Income Housing Fund ($22,5421, Community Development Block Grant funds ($8,071), and HOME
funds ($1,358). Attachment 3 identifies the cost of each requested item, and corresponding funding source
percentages and amounts.
The redevelopment project area portion ($78,724) is to be funded through a loan repayment from the Otay Valley
Road existing fund balance to Bayfront, which in turn will be used to reimburse the General Fund for the additional
expenditures.
