Councilmember Rindone concluded that the pledge from Coors included all the schools in the Sweetwater School District and the elementary schools that feed into the secondary program in the City of Chula Vista. After meeting with the Coors representatives, there is no question that Coors has every intent to be a community partner and provide support in their campaign for promoting responsible behavior among youth and could as well include addressing the issue of over consumption by adults. With this commitment, the partnership between the Coors and Universal Studios will result in a quality facility as well as a community service educational program. Councilmember Moot responded that Coors obviously is taking an extremely responsible position with this issue since it was first raised and discussed in the community. One of the things that Chula Vista does that promotes an extremely healthy lifestyle and also promotes the city and our bi-national cultures is the 10K October Barrio Race. We are always looking for responsible corporate partners to sponsor events like this and to have a company like Coors who might be willing to take a look at an event like this and participate would be a welcome asset to this community. ACTION: Councilmember Rindone suggested that the report be received and filed and to direct staff to work with Coors in the promotion of responsible behavior among the youth as well as the campaign against over consumption by adults.

COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Moot A. RESOLUTION 19092 URGING THE CREATION OF JOINT GOVERNMENTAL TASK FORCE WITH THE CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BOARD, AND SWEETWATER UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD - The City of Chula Vista, the Chula Vista Elementary School District, and the Sweetwater Union High School District share a common interest in promoting the well being of area youth. This resolution would establish a joint governmental task force that would pursue common opportunities and develop strategies to expand the recreational programs and services available to children. It is recommended that the resolution be approved. Councilmember Moot stated that one of the weaknesses perceived within local government is the inability to cooperate with agencies with overlapping jurisdiction. In this particular area, Chula Vista has broken the mold and has been involved with many collaborative efforts that have gone beyond the typical jurisdictional boundaries of local governmental entities. These collaborative efforts have produced tremendous results and achieved many cost savings. Once again, the City can be a leader in creating these collaborative efforts and, in particular, with the different school districts that have jurisdiction in Chula Vista. This resolution proposes that a standing governmental task force be created that meets quarterly to discuss areas and create common solutions addressing common community problems that affect all of these agencies. Specifically, the access to school playgrounds and athletic fields that have been affected by funding and difficult budget times. Many of the fields are going unused and are in need of upgraded maintenance. The City working with the school districts can make these school playgrounds available to youth athletic organizations through joint maintenance agreements. Maintenance of playgrounds and city parks that are adjacent to each other can be sent out for bid for joint maintenance for substantial cost savings. We also know that the after school programs are important to our youths, that in the critical hours from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. that many of the schools are closed yet parents are working. A letter from Senator Locklear succinctly outlines the critical nature of these after school hours and the effect that it has on our public safety services and the effect that good after school programs have on reducing truancy and crime. There are many areas where elected bodies can work together. The City is in a unique position to make it work and should take the lead by inviting other boards to consider creating this task force. Minutes July 14, 1998 Page 12 Mayor Horton indicated a desire to change the critical hours from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. She also related that during discussions with CVESD there was an indication that they were in favor of working together, utilizing our resources in a much more productive manner. They also hoped we could focus on cultural arts opportunities as well as recreational programs. Councilmember Salas expressed appreciation to Councilmember Moot for presenting this resolution. She indicated that during discussions with the Growth Management Oversight Commission that one of the concerns was we didn't discuss this initially with the policymakers of the different bodies. In talking to members of the high school district board and the elementary school board who are in support of this resolution stated how difficult it was to get a dialog going with the three different policymaking bodies, because it was almost impossible to coordinate schedules. Councilmember Padilla responded by adding his support and commending Councilmember Moot for his leadership in bringing this resolution forward. Councilmember Rindone stated that two significant things have changed since it was discussed with the Growth Management Oversight Commission: first, it was perceived as an invitation and not a direction to participate; and secondly, the school overcrowding problem and that was a very proprietary consideration. It is going to be beneficial for all public agencies, because Of those two significant changes. It is a very positive step to take forward and one that should be on an ongoing practice, because any time public agencies vie for partnerships everyone wins. RESOLUTION 19092 OFFERED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOOT, requesting that the draft letter be signed by the Mayor and that the critical hours be changed from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., heading read, text waived, passed and approved unanimously 5-0.
