REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROVING THE REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE
ON CVRC STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS AND DIRECTING
STAFF TO PREPARE THE NECESSARY AMENDMENTS TO
THE CVRe'S LEGAL AND OPERATING DOCUMENTS
WHEREAS, on May 24, 2005, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency ofthe 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 501 (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 Subcommittee recommends that CVRC staff can be some or all of the staff of
the existing Community Development Department.
5. The Subcommittee recommends that the current role of the Redevelopment
Advisory Committee (RAC) 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 Subcommittee recommends 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 Subcommittee's Report and Recommendations and adopted CVRC Resolution No.
2007-004 recommending that the Redevelopment Agency and City Council approve the
Subcommittee's Report and Recommendations, and direct staff to prepare the necessary
amendments to the CVRC's legal and operating documents to implement the Subcommittee's
Recommendations; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines,
approval of the Council Subcommittee's Report and Recommendations is not a project as defmed
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 recommendations of the Council Subcommittee on CVRC
Structure and Operations, as described herein.
2. Direct staff to prepare for consideration by the City Council and Redevelopment
Agency the necessary amendments to the CVRC's legal and operating documents to
implement the Subcommittee's Recommendations.
