to Main Street from west of Interstate 805 easterly to SR 125. The portion of Otay
Valley Road from where it turns south to the City boundary was renamed Heritage Road.
At the time of the Council action, Coors Amphitheatre asked to meet with staff to find a

Spyglass Hill and Castle Pines Avenue be changed to Entertainment Circle. Staff worked

The fencing and dugout areas in the Little League field area at Greg Rogers Park have

Little League season on March 1st, City staff is concerned about making the necessary
repairs in time. Under the City Charter, public works projects on public facilities, such as
Greg Rogers Park, which involve an expenditure of $50,000 or more for repairs or
construction, must be done by written, advertised bids to the lowest, responsible bidder.

However, Section 1009 of the Charter allows Council to let contracts without advertising
for bids if the work is deemed to be of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health
or property. Staff proposes that ACI Sunbow (Ayres Land Company, Inc.) perform the
emergency r~pair work by contracting with PatSouth Group, LLC, to satisfy part of its
park obligations, as required by Tentative Map No. 90-02, Subdivision Improvement
Agreements, and Supplemental Subdivision Improvement Agreements for Sunbow II.

DISTRIBUTION OF A SUPPLEMENT TO THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT
In November 1999, the Council approved the issuance of $23 million of Special Tax
Bonds for Community Facilities District 99-1. Although bonds were successfully sold in
December, due to developer ownership changes that occurred near the time of the bond
sale closing date, it is necessary to thoroughly disclose this information to existing and
potential investors and to remarket the bonds. The first step required in order to
accomplish the remarketing is to amend the existing bond indenture to allow for such a
process.
Staff recommendation: Council adopt the resolution. (Deputy City Manager Powell)
12. RESOLUTION NO. 2000-044, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2000 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2001, WITH AN OPTION TO

2002
SDTC began operation of Chula Vista Transit on July 1, 1993 under a three-year
agreement with an option to extend that agreement for two additional years. The City
exercised the option to extend the agreement until June 30, 1998. On April 7, 1998,
Council adopted a resolution waiving the bidding process and approving a new
agreement with SDTC for the two-year period of July 1, 1998 through June 30, 2000.
Transit staff has now negotiated an agreement with SDTC for the period of July 1, 2000
through June 30, 2001, with an option for an extension from July 1, 2001 through June

Every year at this time, the Community Development Department's Housing Division
begins the CDBG program process. Incorporated within this process is the solicitation of
an Ad-Hoc Committee of City Commission members to participate in reviewing the
CDBG Public Service funding applications. Each year it becomes more difficult to find
Commission members to volunteer for the Ad-Hoc Committee because of time
constraints and other reasons. Therefore, staff recommends that the Ad-Hoc Committee
process be eliminated and that it be substituted with the implementation of community
forums.
Staff recommendation: Council adopt the resolution. (Director of Community
Development)
Deputy Mayor Moot asked that staff inform senior service providers that the Council is desirous
of seeing more collaboration on applications and services, especially with regard to senior food
providers.

Steve Molski, 677 G Street #111, complained that drivers are being cited for having burned-out
license plate lights and are required to pay $10 for the citation, $10 to the courts, and a minimum
of $32.50 to have them repaired. He suggested that the police issue warnings instead and that
either an officer or a member of the Senior Volunteer Patrol be authorized to sign off on the
repairs. Mayor Horton indicated that his comments would be forwarded to Police Chief
Emerson. Mr. Molski also spoke regarding repairs that need to be made on G Street between
Broadway and Smith Street. Mayor Horton referred the matter to staff.

The original development agreement for EastLake III was executed and recorded in April
1990 and its expiration date is April 2000. Both the City and EastLake desire to extend
the term of the agreement for another 10 years to April 2010. The basic provisions of the

certain park agreements entered into since 1990 are incorporated so that all of those
provisions are consolidated into one document. The amended development agreement
will cover 1,514 acres of the original approximately 3,000 acres of EastLake property.
Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the heating was held
on the date and at the time specified in the notice.

as a result of the amended agreement. Senior Assistant City Attomey Moore explained the 45-
acre university site parcel's relationship to the amended agreement.

CHULA VISTA TRACT 97-02 CTM 97-02") FOR THE OTAY RANCH PASEO AND
PARK PROJECT (CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 25, 2000; 4/STHS VOTE
REQUIRED)
Approval of the resolution will initiate eminent domain proceedings to acquire the fee
simple of a portion of land that will accommodate portions of the Paseo and Park P-9 in
Village Five of the Otay Ranch SPA One. The condemnation will also include the
granting of temporary and permanent easements for slope and drainage purposes, which
are necessary to construct said paseo and park.
Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held
on the date and at the time specified in the notice.
Deputy Mayor Moot arrived at this time, 4:38 p.m. He reported that he would abstain from
discussion and voting on this item due to a potential conflict of interest, and he left the dais.
Principal Planner Rosaler reported that there were five additional items that staff would like
included in the staff report and made part of the public record. The first was the original offer
letter to the Foundation, dated November 11, 1999, with all the attachments showing the
properties for fee simple and the permanent and the temporary slopes. The second was the
notice of the public hearing to property owners. Thirdly, there was the notice of continuances of
the public hearings, including the one requested by the property owner's attomey. Finally, there
were two letters from the City's special counsel to Mr. McAndrews addressing issues that he
raised at the last public hearing concerning the appraisal. The first dealt with the methodology
and the second dealt with each portion of the land that is being taken, the fee simple land, the
permanent slopes, and the temporary slopes.
Mayor Horton opened the public hearing and asked if anyone from the audience wished to speak.
Mike McAndrews, 777 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, representing the Birch Foundation,
stated that he had reviewed the additional information he had received from the City regarding
the appraisal summary and had discussed it with the directors of the Foundation. He was asked
by the Foundation to engage an appraiser and to engage in discussions with the City to see
whether or not an agreement could be reached on the valuation. He stated that he believed that
the provision of an appraisal at this late date, without the Foundation having had the opportunity
to investigate it professionally, did not meet the obligation the City has to negotiate with the
landowner. Until the Foundation has had that opportunity, it would continue its objection to the
condemnation proceedings and ask the Council not to adopt the resolution at this time.
Page 8 - Council Minutes 02/01/2000
PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
Robert Pletcher, 2727 Hoover Avenue, National City, representing the McMillin Companies,
stated that the process began more than two years ago, but there has been no response fTom the
property owner until this time. He pointed out that the owner could have ordered an appraisal
many months ago when the Foundation was notified of this pending action. He asked the
Council not to delay the proceedings, because such a delay could increase project costs and
impact the ability of the developer to complete the grading on Olympic Parkway.
Mayor Horton asked if there was anyone else in the audience wishing to speak; there was no
response, and she closed the hearing.
Mr. Rosaler commented that, although the City sent the offer agreement to the owner in
November 1999, the City was not apprised of any objections to the appraisal until last week, and
staff has taken actions to respond to those objections as quickly as possible.
Councilmember Davis asked the timeline for litigation and negotiations with the property owner.
Ms. Bartz, attorney representing the City in the proceedings, responded that if the Council adopts
the resolution, the City will file an action in Superior Court immediately for an order of
possession. The property owner will be served with a complaint and an order of possession and
will have 30 days to respond. She pointed out, however, that nothing would preclude the City
from continuing to negotiate with the property owner during the course of the litigation.
ACTION: Councilmember Padilla offered Resolution No. 2000-045, heading read, text
waived. The motion carried 4-0-1, with Deputy Mayor Moot abstaining.
ACTION ITEMS
15. RESOLUTION NO. 2000-046, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA SUPPORTING PROPOSITION 26: SCHOOL FACILITIES,
LOCAL MAJORITY VOTE, BONDS, TAXES, INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT AND STATUTE
At the City Council meeting of January 25, 2000, staff was instructed to provide an
analysis of Proposition 26, a proposal that will appear on the primary ballot March 7,
2000. This proposition allows school facilities bond measures to be approved by a
majority (rather than two thirds) of the voters in local elections. It also allows property
taxes to exceed the current one-percent limit in order to repay the bonds. While there is
no direct fiscal benefit to Chula Vista, passage of this proposal will provide a tremendous
benefit to local school districts with which the City works in partnership on many
different projects and programs.
Dr. Ed Brand, Superintendent, Sweetwater Union High School District, asked the Council to
support the proposition, stating that there is a direct correlation between student achievement and
the condition of facilities.
ACTION: Mayor Horton noted the Council's strong support of Proposition 26 and offered
Resolution No. 2000-046, heading read, text waived. The motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Horton asked City Manager Rowlands to schedule a workshop in the near future for the
Council and Sweetwater Union High School District Board to discuss items of mutual interest
and concem.
