Dear members of the City of Chula Vista,
My name is Lauren TaR, and I am one oftnirty-six nigh school students recently selected to
attend the 2000 Youth Leadersnip Conference at Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge,
Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.
The Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge is an organization whose mission is to impart to
young Americans an understanding of and commitment to our national heritage, the basic values
upon which this nation was built, the free enterprise system, and responsible citizenship.
The conference will include meetings with prominent historians, educators, journalists, and
economists. We will tour Valley Forge National Park, historic Philadelphia, and travel to
Washington, D.C., to meet legislators and visit important national historical sites.
I am a juniur at Bonita Vista High School. I am enrolled in the International Baccalaureate
program and have a 4.8 GPA. I am on the varsity swim team and participate in the Key Club at
school. In addition, I belong to Girl Scouts and show horses competitively.
Although the San Diego County Chapter of Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge underwrites a
significant portion of the costs of this trip, we students must find £mancial sponsors within our
community who support youth programs. I need to raise a total of $600 by February 1, 2000. I
would like to ask that you will consider helping me achieve this goal.
To show my appreciation for your sponsorship, I would be happy to provide a program on the
conference and Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge for one of your meetings.
Please call me at (619) 421-3489 or Diana Nokes, Vice President of Youth, at (858) 538-5609 if
you need more information.
If you choose to sponsor me, your check must be made out to FFVF, San Diego County Chapter
and mailed to my address given below. All sponsorships are tax deductible.
Thank you so much for considering sponsoring me on this wonderful and exciting learning
opportunity.

Such Community Facilities District and Determining that such Territory is
Added to and Part of such Community Facilities District
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works ~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes__ No X )
On December 19, 2000, Council held a public hearing on the proposed annexations to CFD 98-1
and CFD 98-2 and authorized the submittal of the levy of special taxes to the qualified electors
of the territory proposed for annexation. At the public hearing, no public testimony was received
by Council. On January 9, 2001, the City Clerk held an election to vote upon the proposed
annexations and the levy of special taxes. The outcome of the election was that 100% of the
qualified voting property owners have agreed to the annexation proceedings and have signed the
appropriate ballots. Tonight, Council would declare the results of the election and complete the
annexation process into CFD 98-1 and CFD 98-2 and direct the recordation of a Notice of
Cessation of Special Tax as appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Approve the resolution acting as the legislative body of Community Facilities District
No. 98-1 (Interim Open Space District [Otay Project, LLC-OVP-SPA One, Villages 1
West & 2]), declaring the results of a Special Election in such Community Facilities
District and Determining that such Territory is Added to and Part of such Community

Meeting Date: 1/16/01
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Council formed CFDs 98-1 and 98-2 on September 15, 1998. CFD 98-1 encompasses all parcels
within Villages 1 West, 2, 2 West, 6 and 7 owned, at that time, by the Otay Ranch Company.
CFD 98-2 encompasses all the parcels within Otay Ranch Villages 6 and 7 owned, at that time,
by McMillin. Both CFDs are considered "interim" districts and would levy special taxes on
vacant land in order to guarantee the funding of the maintenance of certain landscaping
improvements. Those improvements are currently being constructed as a requisite for
developing Villages 1 and 5; but the responsibility for their maintenance falls on future Otay
Ranch Villages. "Permanent" maintenance districts would be created with the subsequent
development of these future Villages to establish the means to finance the ongoing maintenance
of the ultimate landscaping improvements.
McMillin is in the process of developing a portion of Viltage 6 located with CFD 98-2. In order
to clearly define their ownership within Villages 6 and 2, McMillin and The Otay Ranch
Company are currently conducting a land swap. With the impending land swap, ownership
boundaries will change; thus, an adjustment to the boundaries of CFDs 98-1 and 98-2 is needed.
This will be accomplished by annexation of the land swap areas into the appropriate CFD and
filing the corresponding Notices of Special Tax Lien Cancellation. The proposed land swap
would result in a net increase of 3.462 acres to CFD 98-1 and a corresponding net decrease of
3.462 acres to CFD 98-2. The recorded Annexation Maps are shown in Exhibits A and B.
The annexed areas will be subject to the provisions of the adopted Rate and Method of
Apportionments of the respective CFD (see Exhibits C and D). Staff has deten~ined that the
proposed changes would not affect the districts' ability to provide sufficient funding for the
operation and maintenance of the improvements related to each respective District.
On November 7, 2000, Council approved resolutions adopting two annexation maps showing the
boundaries of the annexed territories and declaring its intent to authorize the annexation of
certain parcels. On December 19, 2000, Council held a public hearing approving the resolutions
making certain determinations and authorizing the submittal of the levy of special taxes to the
qualified electors of certain territories proposed to be annexed into CFD 98-1 and CFD 98-2. At
this public hearing no public testimony was received by the City Council.
On January 9, 2000, in the office of the City Clerk, the qualified property owners held an
election and voted upon the annexations into the fore mentioned districts. The qualified property
owners have signed the consent to waiver forms to shorten the election timeframe. The Rate and
Method has been considered and the property owners are aware of the maximum special tax that
will be levied against the annexation territories. The outcome of the election was that 100% of
the qualified voting property owners have agreed to the annexation proceedings and have signed
the appropriate ballots. These are on file with the City Clerk.
Tonight, Council will, by the adoption of the accompanying resolutions, declare the results of the
election, declare the properties annexed to CFD No. 98-1 and 98~2, respectively, and direct the
recordation of a Notice of Cessation of Special Tax as appropriate.

Meeting Date: 1/16/01
Future Actions
There are no further actions required for these particular annexations within Community
Facilities District Nos. 98-1 & 98-2 to be heard by the City Council. Staff and the City Clerk
will record the appropriate documents with the County Recorder's Office.
Resolutions
There are two resolutions on today's consent calendar, which, if adopted, will accomplish the
following:
The RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF CHULA VISTA acting as the
legislative body of CFD 98-1 would officially declare the results of a Special Election and
complete the proceedings for the proposed annexation into Community Facilities District No. 98-
1.
The RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF CHULA VISTA acting as the
legislative body of CFD 98-2 would officially declare the results of a Special Election and
complete the proceedings for the proposed annexation into Community Facilities District No. 98-
2
Staff and legal counsel have reviewed the proposed resolutions and consider them ready for
approval.
Fiscal Impact
All costs related to these annexation proceedings for CFD No.'s 98-1 and 98-2 are being borne
by the developers and the on-going administration and maintenance will be funded entirely by
each district.

SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works A~_~j..!/
//
REVIEWED BY: City Manager %aY~0~ o' (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No )
The 1992 air compressor truck currently utilized by the Traffic Signal Section of the Public
Works Department is in need of replacement. However, this truck was inadvertently not included
in the current FY2000-01 replacement program. This action will allow the purchase of a new
truck for the Traffic Signal Section.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council amend the FY2000-01 budget by appropriating
$53,000 for the purchase of an air compressor truck.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
The FY 2000-01 Equipment Maintenance budget provides for the routine replacement of various
vehicles. However, the current air compressor track (1992) utilized by the Traffic Signal Section
was inadvertently not included in the replacement list during the review process. Consequently,
this track's condition has deteriorated to the point that expensive repairs are needed to keep it
functioning. Rather than continue these expensive repairs, Central Garage has requested that the
truck now be replaced. The new truck will have the newest technology for the operation of the
truck and the air compressor.
FISCAL IMPACT: The net total cost including taxes is estimated to be $53,000. Funds for
replacement are routinely accumulated during the fiscal year from the various departments. This
amount is available from the Equipment Replacement Fund.

SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works ~.I~/
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~TcdY (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No )
Public Works Operations is responding to the increased service demands due to residential
population growth by adding a vehicle for the Park Maintenance Section to the City's fleet and
purchasing a larger track for the Urban Forestry Section scheduled for normal replacement.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council amend the FY00/01 budget by appropriating
$28,512.04 from the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund for the purchase of
residential growth-related vehicles for the Park Maintenance and Urban Forestry Sections.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
The Park Maintenance Section is requesting a vehicle for the Park Ranger position that was
added in FY99/00 and approved without a vehicle in the Park Maintenance study. The Park
Maintenance Section continues to experience dramatic growth in the number of City parks and
greenscape areas it has to maintain. As a result, it has now been determined that this position
cannot function without a vehicle due to the number of parks citywide. This vehicle will cost a
total of $21,871.60 and will be purchased with Public Facilities Development Impact Fees (DIF).
The FY 2000-01 Equipment Maintenance budget provides for the replacement of one pickup
truck in the amount of $23,310 for the Urban Forestry Section. However, this track is too small
to meet the current and future needs of the crew. This truck must be big enough to tow tree
stumpers as well as haul plants and materials. Therefore, the Urban Forestry Section is
requesting a larger, more versatile truck for replacement. Consequently, an additional $6,640.44
in DIF (in addition to the $23,310 already approved in Equipment Replacement Budget) is being
requested to purchase a larger utility truck ($29,950.44) for the Urban Forestry Section.
These two vehicles, for Park Maintenance and Urban Forestry, will be purchased under an
existing purchasing agreement previously approved by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: The net total cost including taxes is $51,822.04. ~m appropriation of
$28,512.04 is requested from the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee Fund. The
remaining $23,310 is available from the Equipment Replacement Fund.

1TEM TITLE: Resolution Approving an agreement with Ayres Land Company as
manager of ACI Sunbow, LLC to Authorize construction of Phase 2A of
East Palomar Street as a change order to the contract for Phase lC of East
Palomar Street and to receive TDIF Credit
REVIEWED BY: City Manager(.~? (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
On November 14, 2000, the City Council authorized Ayres Land Company as manager of ACI
Sunbow, LLC to construct phases lC and 2A of East Palomar Street and to receive Transportation
Development Impact Fee (TDIF) credit. Ayres Land Company (ACI Sunbow, LLC) through the
guest builder, Centex Homes, sought and received 3 bids for the construction of Phase lC of East
Palomar Street between Medical Center Court and Paseo Ladera. That project, along with the
adjacent development's improvements, were awarded to Erreca's, Inc. ACI Sunbow is requesting
that they be allowed to award the contract for Phase 2A, between Paseo Ladera and the Sunbow
Eastern Boundary, to Erreca's Inc. as a change order to the contract for phase lC. The TDIF
ordinance requires developers to obtain three bids, but allows the Council to modify that condition by
agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the resolution approving an agreement
with Ayres Land Company as manager of ACI Sunbow, LLC to Authorize construction of Phase
2A improvements on East Palomar Street as a change order to the contract for Phase lC of East
Palomar Street and to receive TDIF Credit.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: None.
DISCUSSION:
On November 14, 2000, the City Council adopted a resolution which authorized Ayres Land
Company, as manager of ACI Sunbow, LLC, to construct East Palomar Street between Medical
Center Court and the Eastern Boundary of Sunbow and to receive TDIF credit for that work. The
construction on East Palomar Street was divided into two phases, lC and 2A. Centex Homes, acting
on behalf of ACI Sunbow, sought and received three bids for the phase lC work on East Palomar
Street between Medical Center Court and Paseo Ladera. The low bidder was Erreca's, Inc. and the
construction contract was awarded to that firm.
On December 12, 2000, Ayres Land Company requested that they be permitted to contract with
Erreca's, Inc. to do the work on phase 2A as a change order to the contract on phase lC. With the
exception of a few bid items, they have negotiated with Erreca's to do the construction of phase 2A
at the same bid prices as that for phase lC. Ayres Land Company cites the following benefits as
justification for doing this work as a change order:
Page 2, Item __
Meeting Date: 1/16/01
Construction on this portion of East Palomar Street can begin much quicker if they do
not have to go through the bid process.
Erreca's was able to get their subcontractors to hold their bid prices, which might not
be possible if they went through the bid process.
Due to the current construction climate, it might be difficult to get three or more
qualified bidders.
Because Erreca's is doing the work on the adjacent segment of East Palomar Street
and the adjacent subdivision, it would be a logistical nightmare of having multiple
contractors on the same site.
Attached is a spread sheet showing the comparison of prices between the contract for phase 1C and
the proposed contract (change order) for phase 2A. The cost of construction of phase lC, based on
the contract for that phase, is $738,809.10. The cost of construction of phase 2A, based on the
proposed contract for that phase, is $836,052. I0.
Section 3.54.040 of the Municipal Code (the TDIF Ordinance) requires a developer to secure at least
three qualified bids for work to be done. However, paragraph C. 11 of that section permits the City, in
their discretion, to modify any of the requirements through an agreement entered into with the
developer. The attached agreement authorizes Ayres Land Company, as manager of ACI Sunbow,
LLC, to enter into a change order on the phase lC contract with Erreca's, Inc. for the construction of
phase 2A. A concern of staff is the price of the traffic signal shown on the bid for phase 2A. There is
no similar work on phase lC and staff is comparing the proposed price with similar City contracts for
traffic signal installation to determine whether or not the price for the traffic signal work is justified.
The agreement provides that ACI Sunbow shall receive credit for the cost of the Traffic Signal
installation at the price determined to be fair and reasonable by City staff, after the completion of the
construction and the post construction audit. Last, the agreement also requires Ayres Land Company,
as manager of ACI Sunbow, LLC, to indemnify the City and its employees should a lawsuit arise
over the City's action in permitting the work to be done as a change order to a previous contract.
FISCAL IMPACT: None to the City. Ayres Land Company will receive TDIF credit in accordance
with the provisions of Municipal Code Chapter 3.54, Transportation Development Impact Fee. The
actual amount of credit will be determined by the Director of Public Works and be based on final
costs. The developer will pay all related City staff costs, including those for administration of the
TDIF credit procedure.

Dear Cliff:
Please find enclosed the following documents:
I. Phase lC bid fi.om Erreca's;
Phase lC cost/quantity detail;
3. Phase 2A bid from Erreca's; and
4. Comparison worksheet
These documents will show that Erreca's bid on 2A is at the same price as that for IC. We will be providing this
document to Centex Homes, and their intention is to process this proposal as a change order to their existing
In order for us to receive our TDIF credits, the City will need to approve this change order. The benefits of doing
this as a change order are many:
Construction on this crucial portion of East Palomar can begin much quicker (January);
Erreca's was able to get their subs to hold their prices, which might not be possible if we went to a bid process;
At this time, it might be difficult to get three or more qualified bidders; and
It will eliminate the logistical nightmare of having multiple contractors on the same site.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I will call you to schedule a meeting to discuss. Thank you for your
cooperation in this matter.

The City has received letters dated March 3, 2000 and October 9, 2000 from Ayers Land Company
requesting authorization and Transportation Development Impact Fee credit for construction of roadway
facilities along East Palomar Street from Medical Center Drive to the easterly boundary of Sunbow II,
Phases lB, lC and 2A, and for improvements related to Olympic Parkway construction between
Oleander Avenue and Brandywine Avenue, including drainage basin improvements in Poggi Canyon
and mitigation (general biological, wetlands, CSS) for Phase lA and IB roads.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing Ayres Land Company
as Manager of ACI Sunbow, LLC to construct the portions of East Palomar Street identified and
included in Sunbow II, Phases IB, lC and 2A as well as the Poggi Canyon Detention basin included in
the Phase lA contract, and receive credit against Transportation Development Impact Fees.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable
DISCUSSION:
East Palomar Street - Sunbow II Phase 1B
On March 3, 2000, Samuel M. Holty, Vice-President o£ Ayres Land Company as Manager of ACI
Sunbow, LLC, sent a letter (Exhibit "A') to the City requesting authorization and Transportation
Development Impact Fee credit £or the construction o£ East Palomar Street from Medical Center Drive
to the easterly boundary o£Sunbow II, Phase lB. This street segment is identified as a portion of Project
No. 17 on the City's Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) list included in the Development Impact Fee Report revision dated October 25, 1999 (Exhibit
"B"). A minimum of three bids for the construction work involved are required for TDIF credit by
Council.
Kaufman and Broad, Inc., the guest builder for this portion o£ Sunbow II, obtained qualified bids from
three companies. A contract was signed between Kaufman and Broad, Inc. and the low bidder, Erreca's,
Inc., on May 13, 1999. Kaufman and Broad also entered into a "Purchase and Sale Agreement" with
ACI Sunbow assigning the Development Impact Fee credits to Sunbow. A copy of the overall contract
amounts for East Palomar Street are shown in Exhibit "C".

Meeting Date 11/14/00
Staff has reviewed the TDIF-eligible elements of the proposals submitted by the three firms that
submitted bids. It appears that Erreca's bid is also the lowest of the three bids submitted for the TDIF
items. The overall contract amounts for the work covered by this TDIF project are summarized as
follows for the East Palomar Street portion of Sunbow II, Phase lB.
1. Storm drain construction: $206,500.00
Dry utilities: $70,610.00
3. Roadway construction/street improvements: $580,605.00
4. Grading/Earthwork: $499,992.00
5. Landscape, planting, hardscape, irrigation: $253,300.00
6. Street lights, traffic signal poles, street hardware: $71,725.00
TOTAL: $1,682,732.00
East Palomar Street - Sunbow II Phase 1C
The City subsequently received a letter from Mr. Holty dated October 9, 2000 (Exhibit "D') requesting
reimbursement by the City for improvement work related to additional phases (lC, 2A and 2B) of the
Sunbow II project. Phase lC consists of certain residential developments known as Sunbow Village
5 and Sunbow Village 6 plus a portion of East Palomar Street.
Centex Homes, the guest builder for this portion of Sunbow II, obtained qualified bids from four
companies. A contract was signed between Centex Homes and the low bidder, Erreca's, Inc., on April
3, 2000. Centex Homes also entered into a "Purchase and Sale Agreement" with ACI Sunbow assigning
the Development Impact Fee credits to Sunbow. The portion of Erreca's bid eligible for TDIF credit is
included in Exhibit "E".
Staffhas reviewed the TDIF-related elements of the proposals submitted by the four bidding companies.
It appears in this case as well that the overall Erreca's bid is the lowest of the three bids submitted for
the TDIF items. The contract amounts for the work covered by this TDIF project are as follows for the
East Palomar Street portion of Sunbow II, Phase lC.
1. Storm drain construction: $27,010.00
2. Roadway construction/street improvements: $265,981.40
3. Grading/Earthwork: $92,530.00
4. Landscape, planting, hardscape, irrigation: $207,228.70
5. Street lights, traffic signal poles, street hardware: $146,059.00
TOTAL: $738,809.10
East Palomar Street - Sunbow II Phases 2A and 2B
As part of their letter dated October 9, 2000, Ayres Land Company also requested reimbursement for
facilities constructed within Phases 2A and 2B. They submitted a copy of preliminary estimates made
by Rick Engineering Company, dated August 9, 2000, for all construction work associated with these
projects. A review of the construction plans for Phase 2B indicates that no new TDIF-eligible
Page 3, Item
Meeting Date 11/14/00
improvements will be constructed with this phase. The construction estimate for the East Palomar Street
portion of Phase 2B is summarized as follows. Note that the bonding mount (as discussed in Exhibit
"F") will be used for credit at this time.
Sunbow Phase 2A, East Pal0mar Street:
1. Grading and Mobilization: $83,153.00
2. Roadway construction/streets: $502,171.00
3. Storm drain construction: $26,984.00
TOTAL: $612,308.00
Total of bonding amount for this project: $591,205.00
GRAND TOTAL, PHASES lB, lC and 2A: $3,033,849.10
Under TDIF ordinance procedures, a developer may request credit for the construction of facilities
identified in the TDIF project list. The construction cost estimate for Project No. 17, from Medical
Center Drive to the eastern Sunbow boundaries, as revised in the October 25, 1999 report "Eastern Area
Development Impact Fees for Streets", is $1,726,099 plus $258,915 for contingencies, or $1,985,014.00
total. This is significantly less than the estimated construction cost of $3,012,746 for this portion of East
Palomar Street. However, this difference is relatively small when compared to the entire TDIF program
of $216,752,798, and it should be made up by subsequent TDIF projects that cost less than the estimated
amount.
Olympic Parkway
The City received an additional letter from Mr. Holty, dated March 3, 2000 (Exhibit "G"), requesting
reimbursement by the City for improvements related to various components of Olympic Parkway
improvements between Oleander Avenue and Brandywine Avenue, including drainage basin
improvements in Poggi Canyon and mitigation (general biological, wetlands, CSS) for Phase IA and IB
roads. Based on the cost breakdown from TC Construction, the total cost of the Poggi Canyon drainage
basin was $916,969.50.
Based on an impact analysis performed by Merkel & Associates in an August 31, 1999 letter (Exhibit
"H") accompanying the October 9, 2000 Ayres Land Company letter, DIF element roads impacted 6.27
acres of wetlands and CSS of a total project impact area of 17.22 acres. Mr. Holty applied the
percentage of the acreage impacted (36%) against the total cost of $916,969.50 to arrive at a figure of
$330,109, which Ayres is requesting as reimbursement. Ten percent of the total ($91,697) would be
associated with East Palomar, while 23 percent ($210,903) would be for Olympic Parkway and three
percent ($27,509) for Medical Center Drive. Staffgenerally agrees with this methodology.
Ayers' letter also requested reimbursement for plauning work performed for the off-site section of
Olympic Parkway and mitigation (general biological, wetlands, CSS) for Phase lA and lB roads. Since
these components are not directly construction-related, they would not be considered for TD1F credit
at this time. Planning and design-related items will be considered for credit during the audit process
after construction has been completed.

TDIF Cr?dit Process
The TDIF ordinance provides a procedure for issuance of credits to developers. According to Section
3.54.040 of the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, the developer, upon approval of the estimated cost
by the Director of Public Works, shall be entitled to immediate credit for 50 percent of the estimated cost
of the construction attributable to the Transportation Facility Project. Once the developer has received
valid bids for the project which have been approved by the Director of Public Works, the amount of the
immediate credit shall be increased to 75 percent of the bid amount. The immediate credits shall be
applied to the developer's obligation to pay fees for building permits issued after the establishment of
the credit. Ayres Land Company has complied with the procedural requirements of the TDIF ordinance
for credit at the 75 percent level for Sunbow II, Phases IA, lB and lC and at the 50 percent level for
Sunbow II, Phase 2A. Per this ordinance a description and cost estimate of the improvements along with
other information and statements are required to be submitted to the City Council.
The October 9, 2000 letter from Ayres Land Company to the City transmitted an engineer's estimate for
Phase 2A and 2B improvements to East Palomar Street and the credit requested by Ayres. The
September 11, 2000 letter from the City to ACI Sunbow delineates the approved estimates for the
Faithful Performance and Material and Labor Bonds for the street improvements to the Phase 2A portion
of East Palomar Street.
The following information has been submitted as required by the ordinance for credit at the 75 percent
level:
1. Letters dated March 3, 2000 and October 9, 2000 to the City Engineer requesting that the City
authorize reimbursement or credit for the construction of a portion of East Palomar Street as
identified in Sunbow II, Phase lB and lC, and reimbursement for the construction of
improvements related to various components of Olympic Parkway improvements §'etween
Oleander Avenue and Brandywine Avenue, including drainage basin improvements in Poggi
Canyon for Phase lA and lB roads.
2. Rick Engineering, under contract with Kaufrnan and Broad, has prepared and submitted grading
and improvement plans to the City. The improvement plans were approved as of February 15,
1999.
3. Easements and rights-of-way for the project have all been obtained as required by the Director
of Public Works.
4. All necessary permits and environmental clearances necessary for construction of the project
have been obtained by Ayers Land Company. Ayers Land Company has also paid all required
permit and plan check fees and posted any security which is necessary for the project.

Agreement by and between City of Chula Vista,
a Municipal Corporation, and Ayers Land Company as
Manager of ACI Sunbow, LLC
Regarding Phase 2A Construction of East Palomar Street
This Agreement is entered into effective as of ., 2001, by and between the City

Recitals
Whereas, on November 14, 200 the City Council of the City of Chula Vista authorized
Developer to construct phases 1C and 2A of East Palomar Street and to receive credit against the
Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF); and
Whereas, Developer sought and received 4 bids for the construction of Phase 1C of East
Palomar Street between Medical Center Court and Paseo Ladera; and
Whereas, Phase lC and the adjacent developments improvements were awarded to
Erreca's Inc (Contractor) as the lowest responsive bidder; and
Whereas, Developer is now prepared to proceed with Phase 2A and has requested the

Whereas Developer recommends modifying the bidding requirement through this
agreement, and City staff concurs, because the construction of this portion of East Palomar can
begin much more quickly by using the same contractor, Contractor has negotiated with the
subcontractors to hold their bid prices, logistical difficulties will be avoided by having the same
contractor responsible for both segments of work, and due to current construction climate, it may
be difficult to get three or more qualified bidders on the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and the mutual obligation of the parties set
forth herein, Developer and City agree as follows:
1. Developer shall enter into a change order with Contractor constructing Phase 1C for the
construction of Phase 2A of East Palomar Street provided construction is completed at
the same bid prices as received through the bidding process utilized prior to the award of
Phase 1C.
2. Developer shall receive TDIF credit for Phase 2A, provided Developer is in compliance
with the terms of this agreement, in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance #2251
as amended by Ordinances #2289, #2580, and #2803.
3. Developer may receive TDIF credit for the cost of the Traffic Signal installation upon a
determination, in the sole discretion of the Director of Public Works, in a reasonable and
fair amount based upon the cost for similar work performed under City contract after
completion of the construction and the post construction audit.
4. Developer shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless
the City, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, from and against any and all
claims, suits, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, and demands to which the City is
exposed resulting directly or indirectly from (a) the City's preparation, review, approval
of this Agreement, (b) the granting of the modification by the City Council of the bidding
requirements contained within the TDIF Ordinance, and (c) any and all other claims
related to the construction of Phase 2A. Further, Developer, at its own expense shall,
upon written request by the City, defend any such suit or action brought against the City,
its officers, agents or employees. Developer's indemnification of City shall not be
limited by any prior or subsequent declaration by the Developer.
5. General Provisions
a. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended
from time-to-time or cancelled by the mutual consent of the parties hereto but only in the same
manner as its adoption. The term "this Agreement" includes any such amendment properly
approved and executed.
b. Governing Law/Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any action arising under or relating to this
Agreement shall be brought only in the Federal or State courts located in San Diego County,

Venue for this Agreement, and performance hereunder, shall be the City of Chula Vista.
c. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one
instrument.

Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 1/16/2001
also requires that the local agency provide this information to the public for a minimum of
fifteen days prior to reviewing this information at a public meeting. SB 1760 likewise requires
local agencies to make available to the public, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal
year, information about capacity charges. These reports have been available in the City Clerk's
office for public review since December 22, 2000.
The City of Chula Vista has several types of Development Impact Fees CDIF"), Parkland
Acquisition and Development fees ("PAD"), and Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve fees, which
were assessed during the fiscal year, ended June 30, 2000. The major categories of DIFs are
for transportation, traffic signal, park, drainage, sewer and public facilities. The
TranspOrtation DIF was increased in November 1999 from $3,998 to $5,920 per EDU. The
Public Facilities DIF fees were increased in June 2000 from $2,150 to $2,618 per EDU.
Other existing DIFs remained at the same rate as the previous year.
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES (DIF)
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was adopted by the City
to finance and coordinate the construction of new transportation facilities so that streets are
built when needed. This fee is applicable to all new development east of 1-805. Prior to the
program, streets were built by developers in a fragmented fashion with 6-lane facilities,
necking down to 2-lanes and expanding back to 6 lanes again. In addition, there was a fairness
issue since some developers fronted on large streets and others did not. Now all developers in
the Eastern portion of Chula Vista pay the same fee per dwelling unit and either the City
constructs the street or a developer does, using the cost to offset the TransDIF fee at the
building permit stage. The fee for FY00 was $5,920 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU).
Detailed FY00 financial information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 1.
EASTLAKE PARK DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was adopted by the City to
finance and coordinate the construction of park facilities in the Eastlake area. During FY00,
the City and Eastlake changed the terms of the loan through the Amended and Restated
Eastlake II! Development Agreement, which was approved by the City Council on February 1,
2000. It is ordinance number 2805 which became effective March 6, 2000. Under the revised
agreement, the City has loaned the principal plus accrued interest for a total of $880,738 from
this fund to Eastlake. The demand for payment shall be within 90 days of City's written
request or June 1, 2002 whichever occurs first. The amount of interest shall accrue based on
the average quarterly interest earnings rate on the City's investmem pool of funds. When the
funds are repaid, they will be used to build a community center. Detailed FY00 financial
information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 2.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL FEE - This fee was adopted to provide for the projected traffic signal
needs for the City that result from increases in traffic volume caused by development. As
funds are accumulated they are expended on traffic signal projects that meet the warrants at the
time the funds are available. This is a citywide fee with a FY00 rate of $13 per trip generated.
Detailed FY00 financial information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 3.
Page 3, Item
Meeting Date 1/16/2001
TELEGRAPH CANYON DRAINAGE DIF - This fee is applicable to all new development
within the TeLegraph Canyon Drainage Basin. Detailed FY00 financial information is
presented on Attachment A - Schedule 4.
INTERIM PRE-SR125 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was adopted by the City
to finance transportation facilities in the Eastern Territories that would be needed to provide
adequate and safe transportation facilities if there are delays in the construction of State Route
(SR) 125 by CALTRANS or others. The fee in FY00 was $820 per EDU. Detailed FY00
financial information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 5.
TELEGRAPH CANYON GRAVITY SEWER DIF - This is a fee for the expansion of the
trunk sewer within the basin for tributary properties. The fee in FY00 was $216.50 per EDU.
Detailed FY00 financial information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 6.
TELEGRAPH CANYON PUMPED SEWER DIF - This fee is collected for the expansion
of the Telegraph Canyon trunk sewer to serve those properties outside of the basin. These
flows are pumped into the trunk line temporarily and it is anticipated they will ultimately drain
to another basin, either Pogo or Salt Creek, by gravity. If Telegraph Canyon basin becomes
built out, there may be no reserve capacity for the temporary pumped flows and a parallel
system must be built. At the time that the Pogo Canyon and/or Salt Creek Basin sewer
facilities are completed, the unused funds paid by developments in the basin will be returned to
the current property owners. The FY00 fee was $560 per EDU. Detailed FY00 financial
information is presented on Attachment A - Schedule 6.
SALT CREEK SEWER BASIN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was adopted to
provide the necessary financing to construct the Salt Creek Interceptor. This fee is applicable
to the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, that portion of the Upper Otay Lake Basin north of the Salt
Creek Sewer Basin, and that portion of the Lower Otay Lake Basin east of the Salt Creek
Sewer Basin. The fee in FY00 was $284 per EDU. Detailed FY00 financial information is
presented on Attachment A - Schedule 6.
POGGI CANYON SEWER BASIN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE - This fee was
adopted to provide the necessary financing to construct a trunk sewer in the Poggi Canyon
Sewer Basin from a proposed regional trunk sewer west of 1-805 along Olympic Parkway to
the boundary of Eastlake. The fee was established at $400 per single-family dwelling.
Detailed FY00 financial information is presented on Attachment A- Schedule 6.
OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 1 & 5 PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT
FEE - This fee was adopted to provide the necessary financing to construct the facilities. The

Meeting Date 1/16/2001
TELEPHONE SYSTEM UPGRADE ($13) - Upgrading and expansion of the City's
existing telephone system to accommodate growth, including installation of new
conduit, wiring additional telephone lines, and a voice processing system.
RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ($6) - Updating and modernization of the
existing records system to prepare the City for anticipated increases in transactions and
volumes of records.
Although the majority of project costs are to be borne by new development, it's important to
note that various components or specific projects within a component contain both a City and
new development cost share. The City share generally reflects "joint impetus" projects, which
are necessitated by both growth and non-growth factors and/or the City's obligation to correct
pre-existing space/equipment deficiencies. The PFDIF fees only relate to new development's
cost share for each component.
PARKLAND AQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT (PAD) FEES
This in lieu fee was adopted by the City to acquire neighborhood community parkland and
construct parks and recreational facilities. The FY00 fee was $4,375 per single-family
dwelling unit. Detailed FY00 financial information is presented on Attachment C.
TRUNK SEWER CAPITAL RESERVE FEES
This fee was established to pay all or any part of the cost and expense to enlarge sewer
facilities of the City so as to enhance efficiency of utilization and/or adequacy of capacity.
Detailed FY00 financial information is presented on Attachment D.

The ending balances as of June 30, 2000 are in the process of being audited as part of the audit
of citywide financial statements, and are therefore subject to adjustment.
FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR FUNDS IN POSSESSION OVER 5 YEARS
Government Code Section 66001(d) requires the local agency to make findings every five years
with respect to any portion of the DIF fees remaining unexpended to identify the purpose for
which it was charged. This year the City has elected to make such findings for any funds
remaining unexpended for five or more years. The following project has fees, which were
collected five or more years ago, which remain unexpended and is listed to satisfy Section
66001(d) of the Government Code.
a. Eastlake Park Development Impact Fee
The fees collected prior to FY93 plus the interest earned is still needed for park facilities.
Per Council approval and a request from the Eastlake Development Co. for their cash flow
needs, the funds are on loan to Eastlake Development Company to be repaid on demand.
No other DIF or PAD funds contain monies that have been on deposit for five or more years.
Copies of this report were sent to the Ayres Land Company, the Building Industry Association
of San Diego, the Eastlake Development Company, the McMillin Companies, the Otay Ranch
Company and Pacific Bay Homes.

Meeting Date 1/16/2001
FISCAL IMPACT:
With findings that identify the continued need for the unexpended and/or committed or
uncommitted fees, the City retains the fees for the future projects. Without findings that the
unexpended funds are still needed for the projects, the City would be obligated to refund the
$783,060 in park funds plus interest accrued that have been held for five or more years
pursuant to State Government Code Section 66000. Since the City has loaned $800,000 of the
park funds to the developer, Eastlake Development Company, money would have to come
from some other source to refund the $783,060 plus interest. The loss of the funds would
jeopardize the Eastlake Park Agreement and the future EastLake community center.

TO: Michael Meacham, Special Operations Manager
CC: Sid Morris, Assistant City Manager
FROM: Willie M. Gaters, Environmental Resource Manager
SUBJECT: City of Chula Vista Electricity Conservation Projects
Below is a list of electricity conservation projects undertaken by the City since 1993.
1993 Civic Center Library - Chiller Project
1993 Police Department- Interior Lighting Retrofit
1995 Lighting Retrofit Phase I
1996 Lighting Retrofit Phase II
1997 Police Department- Replaced Chiller
1998 Traffic Signal Lights Red LEDs
1998 Police Department - Replaced Domestic Water Heater
From the inception of the conservation efforts, the City has conserved approximately
13.8 MW of electricity and continues to conserve about 3.7 MW/year. This reflects a
cumulative cost savings of approximately $1.15 Million to date at an on-going savings
rate of over $300KJyear. The City's combined cost for the electricity conservation
projects is approximately $990K with about $110K in incentives from SDG&E.
In spring 2001, the City will retrofit green traffic signal lights with Green LED fixtures.
This project will save an additional 1MW/year and result in a cost savings of about
$74K/year. The City's cost for this project is $88K with $337K in incentives from
SDG&E. After the completion of the Green LED replacement project, the City will
conserve 4.8MW of electricity annually and will accrue savings of about $385K/year
from all the electricity conservation projects combined.
Additional electricity conservation projects involving the City and Community are being
evaluated and will be presented to the council for approval prior implementation.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at ext. 5918.

Dear Gov. Davis
The time has come! The solution is at hand!
British Petroleum has described a plan to build a photovoltaic
solar panel factory for $550 million that would manufacture
500 MW per year of solar panels. You could build it. It would
reduce the cost of solar panels to about $1~000~ which is 20%
of what they now cost.
Elkem (Norway) and AstroPower (Delaware) have agreed to the
future establishment, in Norway, of a jointly owned manufacturing
venture that will supply low-cost silicon feedstock to the global
solar power industry. Eileen Smith told the California PUC
in September, 2000, that photovoltaic grade silicon costs only
10% of the cost of silicon now used in solar panels. You must
ask your Energy Commission to combine these two break-throughs
to see how low we can drive the cost of solar panel electricity.
Meanwhile Enron Corp., Reliant Energy, Southern Co. and Sempra,
maybe more, are all probably holding back generating plants
to keep their obscene profits rolling in. When Harry Truman
was president and the railroad workers went on strike, he called
out the National Guard and took over the railroads to keep the
workers on the job and the trains running.
Governor Davis, the profiteering energy company executives are
threatening the public health and safety with their rolling
blackouts. You should follow Truman's exampler take Over the
power plants and begin investiqations with the goal of bringing
criminal charges a~ainst the execs. You would probably be
guaranteed a second term.
Sincerely
" Clayco~b, President
Tired of the electric energy crisis, the high cost of natural
gas and electricity~ smogging your vehicle? Think proton
exchange membrane, "pem" for short, fuel cells. Pems produce
electricity from hydrogen which can come from water. The only
output of a pem , in addition to the electricity, is distilled
water. In the near future, the hydrogen can come from natural
gas ~ethan~, but in addition to the electricity and water,
the pem then produces carbon dioxide, CO?. Gasoline can be
used to supply the hydrogen but at much g~eater cost and with
more pollution
The pem, instead of a gasoline engine, will drive your motor
vehicle, and one at home will generate your electricity at night
when you can't use solar cells (photovoltaics). Ballard Power
Systems of Vancouver, British Columbia, Fuel Cell Energy of
South Windsor, Connecticut, and Plug Power of Latham, New York,
all in the fuel cell business, last September had a combined
market capitalization of $12 billion. But use infoseek and
search Fuel Cells 2000 for more information than you'll want
to know. ~~, ~_4~~

The Honorable Elizabeth A. Moler
Chair
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
888 First St., N.E.,
Washington, DC 20426
Dear Chair Moler:
I take the opportunity of your Commission's August I technical conference on California's electric restructuring to clarify my views
on the vital issues of market structure, equitable distribution oi' benefits and timing. I am also writing to encourage your Commission to
proceed with the implementation of its jurisdictional responsibilities as requested in the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC)
Policy Decision. I have asked Commissioner Fessler to read this letter into the record &the proceeding so that the members oft. he Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) might have an accurate assessment of my Administration's position.
For the past six years, I have made my opinion already known to each of my appointees to the CPUC and the California Energy
Commission that California can no longer abide ever increasing costs in our electric infrastructure. The retail price &electricity has been, is
and, if not for comprehensive reform, will remain too high for sustaining growth and improved standard of living in California.
I have supported and am enthusiastically reconfirming today my strong commitment to opening robust competition at both the wholesale and
retail levels for electrical generation. And, as I wrote on April 29 of this year to you and to Commissioner Fessler, I have specifically
-,ndorsed the December 20, 1/)95 CPUC Policy Decision's basic framework as well as the FERC filings presented that day seeking approval
of the Power Exchange and Independent Systems Operator. I also urged you and your colleagues as well as the CPUC Commissioners to
proceed without delay in the implementation steps necessary to meet the start up date for this new market structure. In the intervening
months, there has been neither any development nor any view that has persuaded me to alter my conviction. Indeed, I am encouraged by, and
have joined, with Legislators in encouraging the responsible negotiations that have been occurring among the parties to accelerate the
transition period of the Decisions so that all classes of customers will quickly and equitable share I the benefits of customer choice and lower
generation costs without inequitably voiding the public contract with utility shareholders, large and small.
Of course the California Legislature has an appropriate role to play in implementing these long needed reforms. Although the
CPUC has sufficient statutory and constitutional authority to implement the industry restructuring the public interest will be served with
statutory confirmation &the market structure called for in the Policy Decision, and the provision for a non-bypassable competition transition
charge, to the extent that is needed. In addition, the CPUC is awaiting legislative direction on social, environmental and fiscal diversity
programs and for the Legislature to provide a sustainable financial footing for these programs which does not distort the operation of
competitive markets nor disadvantage any class of competitive entrance into the generation market. I would also seriously consider
Legislative proposals to advance the date for collection of utility stranded costs, to faeilita~te the involvement of public power authorities and
to accelerate the deployment of the direct access options. I wil! necessarily oppose any legislation which seeks to alter the Decision's basic
framework or time line.
1 firmly believe that the CPUC has fostered unprecedented public debate on these difficult issues. The Public has been well served
in the process and the CPUC has facilitated responsible joint proposals for refining the Decision from the interested parties. The Legislature,
therefore, will benefit from being able to address mature and well-considered positions in its deliberations. For this reason, I am confident
that the CPUC and the FERC should proceed quickly with implementation steps, knowing that the Decision's basic framework will remain
stable and that a majority of the parties in the Decision are working to maintain a united California Front in the filings before your
Commission.
I look forward to working with both Commissions to see a successful conclusions to this historic effort.
