Administration in the Parks & Recreation Department. This formerly hourly position
was approved as a .75 full-time equivalent position in the budget for fiscal year
2001/2002, as recommended in last year's citywide communications audit. The City
Manager approved the transfer of this position from Parks & Recreation to the Office of
Communications, effective October 19, 2001. Appropriations, therefore, need to be

CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADDING A SPECIAL PROJECTS MANAGER POSITION
TO ADMINISTRATION AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR BASED ON
UNANTICIPATED REVENUE
Currently, the City contracts with Marty Chase, who is primarily responsible for updating '"~
the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF). Previously, Mr. Chase was
employed by the City as Special Projects Manager. The proposed resolution
reestablishes the position of Special Projects Manager, which was last filled by Mr.
Chase. He is an expert on PFDIF, and sufficient funds have been budgeted in the PFDIF
that could alternatively be used to reimburse the General Fund when his status switches
from consultant to employee. This change in status, from consultant to employee, would
be beneficial to all concerned. The City would benefit by increased access that would
allow Mr. Chase to spend more time imparting his PFDIF knowledge to City staff, as
well as to provide expertise in other areas, such as public safety staffing models. He
would benefit by having an office on-site, support staff and easier access to needed
information. The PFDIF fund would benefit by continuing to access Mr. Chase's
expertise at a reduced overall cost.
Staff recommendation: Council adopt the resolution.
