RESOLUTION 18694 ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF OTAY LAKES ROAD DUAL LEFT TURN LANES AT EAST "H" STREET AND AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM THE TRANSDIF TO THE PUBLIC FACILITIES DIF (STM-322) - This project was originally htnded during the fiscal year 1995/96 and fiscal year 1996/97 Capital Improvement Program budget process. The prqiect was funded to provide dual lefi turn lanes on Otay Lakes Road (north and south bound approaches) at East "H" Street, and widen the east and west bound approaches of East "H" Street to provide an additional thorough lane in each direction. According to the 1993 Traffic Growth Management Study, the intersection in its current state, creates a delay I~3r the north and south bound traffic.

The proposed dual left turn lanes will improve the approaches to level of service C, thus increasing its compliance with the City's threshold standards. Staff recommends approval of the resolutkm. (Director of Public Works). Item pulled by Councihne~nber Rindone. Councilmember Rindone stated he assumed this had been worked out, although he wanted to verity, since it was not in the staff report, what was the time line liar the construction and specifically how are we assured that it will not interfere with the instructional programs at either institution at that corner. City Engineer, Cliff Swanson, stated that the contractor has 140 working days to complete the prc~ject; that is approximately 28 or 29 weeks when you account tilt holidays.

On April 1, they are required to put in their request to modify/the current MOU. On May 15, they are required to give their initial proposals. The City has 33 business days to put together a team to negotiate with them. On May 23, he was contacted by the Assistant City Manager, George Krempl, who inli>rmed him to come tip with some dates and call him back if the dates where adequate tier their attorney and negotiating team. He called Mr. Krempl back, and they agreed on May 29. On May 28 at approximately 3:00 p.m., he was contacted by David Byers, Deputy Director of Public Works, who stated he had been infbrmed that he would be the lead negotiator for the City's team. He t~lt it was totally inadeqaate to call the atiernoon beti~re the first meeting to negotiate. This is a total of fifty plus business days between May 29 and this evening that this City has not put together a teain to negotiate in good faith. This is the third year that he has negotiated, and we have adopted a bridget without even coming close to having a contract. If the City Manger doesn't want to negotiate, then IAFF Local 2180 would like to exercise their right under Labor Code §1962 where employees shall have the right to self organization to form, ,join, or assist labor organizations to present grievances and reconunendations regarding wages, salaries, honrs, and working conditions to the City Council. He has been inlbrmed by past negotiators that the City Manager likes to drag on the negotiations until September so that he may have a better picture of projected revenues. If this is the case, they would be glad to h>ok at a cnntract that goes from September I to September 1. We have asked to negotiate earlier, we have asked to come to the table in Jannary, and here we are with about 15 days left in their contract, and they have yet to have one meeting. This is goven~ing in bad faith. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES None submitted. BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS None submitted. ACTION ITEMS 13. RESOLUTION 18695 APPROVING THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997/98 INCLUDING BOTH THE FISCAL YEAR 1997/98 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP (HOME) PROGRAM BUDGETS AND AUTHORIZING TRANSMITTAL OF THE 1997/98 CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PLAN TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUDI - On 5/13/97, Council received public comment on the draft Consolidated Plan fi>r fiscal year 1997/98 and reviewed all project and programs being considered tbr CDBG and HOME funding.

(Director of Community Development) Minutes June 10, 1997 Page 5 Councilmember Rindone asked if it was true that the COPS program was in year 2 of a 3 year grant. Juan Arroyo, Housing Coordinator, replied that it was correct. We would be going into the third year of the federal matching grant program. We are currently in the second year. Councilmember Rindone stated that this would have an impact on the 1998/99 budget for those four positions. Could it be continued under CDBG at that puint. What is the federal amount? Mr. Arroyo replied that CDBG could be considered as a funding source, but the federal source of money would be exhausted. Chris Salomone, Community Development Director, stated that the annual federal amount is more than $80,000, our match has been a little less than that. Councilmember Rindone stated he had no problem with what was betbre Council, but he requested an information memo regarding the COPS Program in the final year, the amount, and what the impact would be for Fiscal Year 1998/99. RESOLUTION 18695 OFFERED BY CO[INCILMEMBER RINDONE, heading read, text waived, passed and apprnved 5-0. ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR Item No. 12 had been pulled. but the minutes reflect the published agenda order. OTHER BUSINESS 14. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT(S) Assistant City Manager, Sid Morris, stated as a lbllow~up to the intbnnation received during Oral Communications, he felt it was appropriate fi~r Council to know that he had two. and possibly three, meetings within the last thirty days with the IAFF President on a variety of different issues. If he had concerns regarding the lack of speed with which we were getting to the table on negotiations, he had not mentioned it. He had a number of opportunities tn do so. Also, our team leader, David Byers, has been in contact with the Association and that at a mutual agreement, they decided to postpone the first meeting to give Mr. Byers some additional time with his team and that a series of meetings is about to be scheduled. Mr. Goss stated that the Chief Negotiator fi>r the City indicated that they could have started the process a couple nf weeks ago, hut it would work out better tbr both parties if they had an opportunity to cost out their detailed and lengthy proposal that they had sub~nitted to the City. Also, if there is ever any contention that the City staff tries to drag on negotiations well into the Fiscal Year. that is certainly untnm. There has never been any eftbrt to do that. To the extent that it may have happened in the past, that was because, in some cases, the IAFF wanted to see how the police negotiations turned out betbre they took their position. In other cases about ten years ago. we needed to see what the State was doing in terms of our funding and that also led to a mutual agreement on both sides. 15. MAYOR'S REPORT(S) - none.
