PUBLIC COMMENTS Kevin O'Neill, citing a recent newspaper article, said he was appalled to learn that Mayor Padilla's aide was caught taking photos of citizens attending a private function hosted by his mayoral opponent. He believed there was a huge difference between monitoring an opponent's speech at a public forum and using a telephoto lens to surreptitiously take photos to record the attendees at a private reception. He stated that as citizens, we have an expectation of privacy and must not allow an elected official to abuse that right for his personal gain. He called upon the citizens to rebuke Mayor Padilla for the actions of his staff and for condoning them. He referenced Section 707 of the City Charter regarding improper political activity, stating that the staff person had a conflict of interest, and he suggested the need for the Board of Ethics to address the matter. He also commented that how the Council addressed the matter was also important. Councilmember Castaneda asked if the position of Legislative Affairs Coordinator was controlled solely by the Mayor or was controlled by the Mayor and Council. He then directed staff to examine and provide a report to the Council on whether the individuals holding positions in the Mayor and Council Office served individually or collectively at the will of the Mayor and/or the Council. Councilmember Rindone directed staff to also include in the report the maximum number of hours authorized per Councilmember for Council Aides and whether or not the number of hours was being met ACTION ITEMS 7. CONSIDERATION OF COUNCIL'S SUPPORT FOR A SPECIAL FOCUS ON TRAFFIC SAFETY AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE USE OF RED LIGHT CAMERAS AS AN ENFORCEMENT TOOL August 6 through 12 marks "Stop on Red" week. The Engineering and Police Departments have requested the support of the City Council and residents to kick off a year of special focus on traffic safety in the city. Additionally, this item provides the opportunity for the City Council to provide policy direction regarding the potential use of red light camera enforcement in the city. (Acting Engineering Director/Police Chief) ACTION: Councilmember Castaneda moved to continue Item 7 to August 22, 2006. Councilmember Chavez seconded the motion, and it carried 3-0. Councilmember Rindone stated that there needed to be more thought given to red light cameras, citing concerns with associated costs, intrusion, and camera accuracy. He also believed that other alternatives, such as team enforcement with a lower operating cost, should be explored for enforcement purposes. 8. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING HOTELS AND MOTELS TO HAVE A PERMIT TO OPERATE, AND AN AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO INCLUDE THE PERMIT-TO-OPERATE FEE REQUIREMENT FOR HOTELS AND MOTELS Page 4 - Council Minutes August 8, 2006 /-1( DRAft ACTION ITEMS (Continued) The proposed ordinance requires hotels/motels to obtain and post an annual permit to operate before renting rooms. To obtain a permit, motels would need to meet minimum room requirements, pass an annual health inspection; have a reasonable annual number of police calls for service; and be up-to-date on transient occupancy tax owed the City. Additionally, a permit-to-operate fee would be enacted in order to cover the cost of City staff to process the annual permit. (Police Chief, Planning and Building Director, Finance Director, Acting Director of Community Development, Fire Chief,) Police Chief Emerson presented the motel/hotel permit-to-operate ordinance and explained that the goal was to make all Chula Vista hotels safe, clean, and successful. Councilmember Castaneda spoke about motels that would be impacted with the future bayfront redevelopment and asked what message the proposed ordinance requirements would convey to larger hotel chains that may be looking to move to Chula Vista. Police Chief Emerson replied that staff would not want to make the permitting process too onerous and that he would work with legal staff to review the possibility of exempting or differentiating between hotels of a certain size with regard to the permit requirement. Councilmember Chavez expressed concern that while some families are using motels as residences, other motel occupants are being arrested for various weapons-related crimes. She felt that the proposed ordinance should apply across the board. Police Chief Emerson stated that motel/hotel management practices are essential, and that adequate modifications would be necessary for those hotels/motels offering long-term accommodations. Councilmember Rindone questioned whether failure by the hotel operators to display a valid operating permit would create enough of an incentive, or whether they would be prepared to pay the necessary fines for any violations. Police Chief Emerson stated that any violations by the hotel operators would constitute a misdemeanor. Deputy City Attorney Cave added that the idea of a misdemeanor prosecution would be to place the owner on probation in order to have them do what the City is requiring them to do. Councilmember Rindone directed staff to come back to Council one year after implementation with an evaluation and any recommendations. Further direction was given by Councilmember Castaneda to look at stratifications in operating fees. ACTION: Councilmember Rindone moved to place the ordinance on first reading and adopt Resolution No. 2006-251, headings read, texts waived; to direct staff to come back one year after implementation with an evaluation and any recommendations; and to direct staff to look at stratifications in operating fees: ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE 15.20 AND ESTABLISHING MUNICIPAL CODE 5.39 REQUIRING HOTELS AND MOTELS TO HAVE A PERMIT TO OPERATE (FIRST READING) RESOLUTION NO. 2006-251, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO INCLUDE A PERMIT-TO-OPERATE FEE REQUIREMENT FOR HOTELS AND MOTELS Councilmember Castaneda seconded the motion, and it carried 3-0.

CONSIDERATION OF PLACEMENT OF A BALLOT MEASURE ON THE NOVEMBER 7, 2006 STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION, REGARDING ARTICLE 34 OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION, TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION IN FUTURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS (Continued from August 1,2006) Article 34 of the State of California Constitution, adopted in 1950, specifies the circumstances under which public agencies have the authority for construction, development, and acquisition of affordable units for low income renters throughout the City. The City is nearing the limit of the 400 units previously approved under Article 34 by City of Chula Vista voters on April II, 1978, and adopted by Ordinance No. 1897, and will require authorization to participate in future affordable housing projects (Acting Community Development Director) Assistant Community Development Director Hix presented the proposed ballot measure. Housing Manager Mills provided further details regarding Article 34. ACTION: Councilmember Rindone moved to adopt Resolution No. 2006-252, heading read, text waived, as amended to delete the appropriation of funds, which will be considered at the meeting of August 22, 2006: RESOLUTION NO. 2006-252, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA PLACING A PROPOSED BALLOT MEASURE ON THE NOVEMBER 7, 2006 STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT REGARDING ARTICLE 34 OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION, WHICH AUTHORIZES PARTICIPATION IN FUTURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS FOR LOW INCOME RENTERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, APPROVING THE CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS, AND DIRECTING STAFF TO SUBMIT THE ANALYSIS TO THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS The motion carried 3-0. 10.

(City Attorney) Page 6 - Council Minutes August 8, 2006 /-/p DRAFT ACTION ITEMS (Continued) Deputy City Attorney Dawson presented the proposed Charter amendments. Measure 1 was to amend Charter section 300D to modify the eligibility requirements to prohibit an appointed Mayor or Councilmember from being eligible to run for the office until one year after the termination of the appointed term. Measures 2 and 3 would modify Charter section 303C regarding the filling of unanticipated vacancies. Measure 2 would require a special election if there were more than two years remaining on a term, and the Council would have 45 days to make an appointment if there were two years or less remaining on a term. Measure 3, as proposed by the Charter Review Commission, would require a special election if there was more than one year remaining on a term, and the Council would have 45 days to make an appointment if there was one year or less. Ms. Dawson also presented three options with regard to the timing of special elections to fill vacancies: Option 1: Call a special election to be held within 90 days of the declaration of a vacancy, or as soon thereafter as practical as determined by the City Clerk; with a run- off, if needed, to be held within 49 days of the first election, or as soon thereafter as practical as determined by the City Clerk. Option 2: Call a special election forthwith, as soon as practical as determined by the City Clerk; with a run-off, if needed, to be held forthwith, as soon as practical as determined by the City Clerk. Option 3: Call a special election to be held on the next established election date as specified in the Elections Code, or within 120 days from the declaration of vacancy, whichever is practical, unless there is another election to be held within 180 days, in which case the Council could consolidate with that election. A run-off, if needed, would be held on the next established election date as specified in the Elections Code, or within 120 days following certification of the results of the first special election, whichever is practical, unless there is another election to be held within 180 days following certification with which the Council could consolidate. Cheryl Cox, representing the Charter Review Commission, urged the Council to decide between Measures 2 and 3 so as not to confuse voters and to save $25,000. Councilmembers Castaneda and Rindone spoke in support of Option 3 with regard to the timing of elections. Councilmember Chavez believed that the three proposed measures were confusing and should be condensed to two questions only. It was the consensus of the Council to support placing Measures 1 and 3 on the ballot. ACTION: Councilmember Rindone moved to approve placing Measure 1, as presented in Exhibit A of the resolution, on the ballot, which, if approved, would amend Charter section 300D to modify the eligibility requirements to prohibit an appointed Mayor or Councilmember from being eligible to run for the office until one year after the termination of the appointed term.
