STAFF TO PREPARE THE NECESSARY AMENDMENTS TO

WHEREAS, on May 24, 2005, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Chula Vista jointly adopted Resolution Nos. 2005-175 and 2005-1911, respectively, approving and
adopting legal and operating documents for the formation of the Chula Vista Redevelopment
Corporation ("CVRC") as a 50 I (c )(3) nonprofit, public benefit corporation; and
WHEREAS, the legal and operating documents adopted for the CVRC included Bylaws of
the Corporation that set forth, among other things, the structure, composition, and operations of the
CVRC; and
WHEREAS, on December 19, 2006, the City Council formed a subcommittee, consisting of
the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, to review and evaluate the structure of the CVRC; and
WHEREAS, the Council Subcommittee on CVRC Structure and Operations has prepared a
full report for consideration by the CVRC, Redevelopment Agency, and City Council containing
recommendations for structural modifications to the CVRC; and
WHEREAS, the Council Subcommittee's recommendations are:
I. The Subcommittee recommends that the CVRC continue to advise the City
Council in the Council's role as the Redevelopment Agency.
2. The Subcommittee recommends that the Councilmembers be removed as CVRC
Directors, and that the remaining Board of Directors be supplemented by one to
five Chula Vista resident(s) selected by the City Council and possessing expertise
and experience in one or more of the following professional fields: education,
business, finance, architecture, civil engineering, urban planning and/or design,
science, environmental planning, environmental remediation, environmental law,
and real estate, including real estate development, investment, and law.
3. The Subcommittee recommends that the City Manager remain as the Executive
Director of the Redevelopment Agency and that a designee of the City Manager
be the Chief Executive Officer of the CVRC. The Subcommittee further
recommends that the consultant search for a Chief Executive Officer be postponed
indefinitely. The Subcommittee recommends that the person filling this position
(i.e., the City Manager's designee) be required publicly to report expenditures
incurred using redevelopment money, for the overriding purpose of indicating that
redevelopment funds were used for redevelopment rather than for general city
services.

4. The Subconunittee reconunends that CVRC staff can be some or all of the staff of
the existing Conununity Development Department.
5. The Subconunittee reconunends that the current role of the Redevelopment
Advisory Conunittee (RAe) as one that provides advice to the CVRC Directors
and to the Redevelopment Agency be retained.
6. The Subcommittee believes that it is the City Council's fiduciary responsibility to
pursue redevelopment projects sooner rather than later, and that a restructured
CVRC Board of Directors will help accomplish this goal.
7. The Subconunittee reconunends that a formal, independent evaluation of the
achievements of the CVRC, RAC, and redevelopment-tasked staff be initiated
three years from the date of the newly restructured CVRC, with the purpose of
defining necessary next steps for a non-profit redevelopment corporation structure
and in order to continue conducting redevelopment business via the CVRC; and
WHEREAS, on March 22, 2007, the CVRC Board of Directors reviewed and considered
the Council Subconunittee's Report and Reconunendations and adopted CVRC Resolution No.
2007-004, reconunending that the Redevelopment Agency and City Council approve the
Subcommittee's Report and Reconunendations, and direct staff to prepare the necessary
amendments to the CVRC's legal and operating documents to implement the Subconunittee's
Reconunendations; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines,
approval of the Council Subconunittee's Report and Reconunendations is not a project as defined
in Section 15378, and is therefore not subject to CEQA.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council and Redevelopment
Agency of the City ofChula Vista do hereby:
I. Approve the report and reconunendations of the Council Subconunittee on CVRC
Structure and Operations, as described herein.
