An Adj ourned Meeting of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista was called to order
by Mayor Horton at 4:42 p.m. in the Council Conference Room located in the
Administration Building, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, California.

1. ADDED ITEM: In the Matter of Instructions to the Mayor Concerning a
Special SANDAG Board meeting called for July 14, 2000
Mayor Horton asked the Council to add an off-docket item to the agenda, stating that the
necessity to take action arose after publication and posting of the agenda, and there is a
need for immediate action by the Council. She explained that tomorrow, the SANDAG
Board of Directors will meet to decide whether or not to place a Transnet proposition on
the November 2000 ballot to extend the current 1/2¢ sales tax for another 30 years
beyond 2008. The proposition will generate about $7 billion over the 30-year program
but will guarantee only 53% of the funds for local streets and roads that are currently
allocated to this purpose on an annual basis. Staffs major concern is that SR-125 is
designated as a toll road, while all other roads in the County are freeways. The City may
wish to insist that, among other things, funding to buy out the toll road franchise and to
build SR-125 as a freeway be included in the measure. She asked that the item be added
to the agenda in order to obtain Council's direction on how to vote on the matter at the
SANDAG Board meeting.
ACTION: Councilmember Davis moved to add the item to the agenda.
Councilmember Padilla seconded the motion, and it carried 4-0.
Public Works Director Lippitt explained the proposed proposition and stated that, in
addition to a guarantee that funding for SR-125 be included in the ballot measure, the
measure also needs to identify other major projects that will be funded.
ACTION: Following Council discussion, Councilmember Davis moved to
recommend that the measure not go forward unless (1) SR-125 is included
for funding in the program; (2) the funding for local roads is 1/3 of the
remaining 70%, or 23.3% of the total; and (3) SANDAG receives written
assurance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California
Department of Fish and Game that funding committed for habitat in this
measure will fully satisfy the requirements for regional funding as
contained in the MSCP and other NCCP Plans in San Diego County.
