RESOLUTION 18173 APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH EYE/COMM, INC. FOR PRINTING OF SEWER B1LLS AND MAILING SERVICES FOR SEVVER BlLLS AND OTHER CITY MAIL - In accordance with Council direction, staff circulated a Request For Proposals (RFP) for printing and mailing services for sewer billing. In an effort to reduce City expenses, as well as to improve the level of service on daily mailing, other mailing services were included in the RFP and in the proposed contract with Eye/Comm, Inc. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Public Works and Director of Finance) Pulled from the Consent Calendar. ® Bruce Collin, 58 Corte Maria, Chula Vista, CA, representing Bay Port Press, a primary subcontractor for MatMail, deferred his time to the MatMail representative. ® Rich Rechif, 4045 Bonita Road, #305, Bonita, CA, representing Youmans Braithwaite & Rechif CPAs, spoke on behalf of MatMail. He stated he was their certified public accountant and had a financial interest in the item. He had helped to prepare an analysis of the contract and he felt a error had been made by staff in analyzing the proposals. He felt Mr. Alvillar was the low bidder on the job by at least $13,000 and more likely over $20,000. MatMail was also a local business and the low bidder, therefore, he requested that Council reconsider the item. Councilmember Rindone stated he was not familiar with the principal owners and participants of the competing finns. Mr. Rechif replied that MatMail was the prime contractor for the City's mail at the present time and had submitted a proposal for the sewer billing. He was the managing partner of Youmans Braithwaite & Rechif CPAs and their part of the contract would be the data processing portion of the sewer billing project. · Manuel Alvillar, 98 East Shasta, Chula Vista, CA, representing MatMail, stated he had submitted a proposal in response to the City's RFP for the sewer billing. Last Thursday he had been notified that he was not the low bidder. Councilmember Rindone stated he had .just become aware that through his employment he had an involvement with one of the participants which he was not aware of. Mr. Boogaard stated the Adult Education Division of the Sweetwater Union High School District had retained MatMail for mailing services. Sweetwater Union High School District was a public agency and income from a public agency was exempt from income for conflict of interest purposes. He recommended that Councilmember Rindone stay at the dais and listen to the arguments, if at any point he felt that he had been biased by his prior decision, he should then abstain from the final participation. It was a matter of perception of impropriety more than a conflict of interest. Mr. Alvillar stated in reviewing their proposal his bid was $13,000 less than the other bidders and if lower postage was used it was $22,000 less. His service fees were $4,000 less than the two competitive companies. Mayor Horton questioned if there would be a problem in continuing the item for further staff review since the RFP period had expired. Robert Powell, Finance Director, responded that he did not feel there would be a problem. Staff had been given the information and he was prepared to present the staff response. Councilmember Moot stated it was his preference not to evaluate numbers in complicated matters during the meetings. He did not feel it was fair to any member of the Council. It was important to have that information in the Council packets. He requested that the item be brought back to Council with staffs written analysis of the material. Mr. Powell responded that staff would be returning next week with the other contract involved in the sewer billing process and staff could bring the item back at that time. Mayor Horton stated she preferred the continuance. She noted it had always been Council's preference to try to hire local companies when possible. Minutes January 9, 1996 Page 3 Councilmember Alevy stated he would like time to meet with the Finance Director to discuss the item prior to action by Council. He felt he could offer his expertise in outlining the dift~rences in the proposals. He was concerned with the variances in the prices and differences in postage being used. A breakout on the postage figures would also be helpful as the postal rate was a key element. MSC (Horton/Alevy) to continue the item to the meeting of 1/16/96, approved 3-0-1-1 with Padilia absent and Rindone abstaining. 8. RESOLUTION 18174 APPROV1NG MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR EAST ORANGE AVENUE INFILTRATION BASIN WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE, AND EASTLAKE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - The agreement provides for the permanent maintenance of the East Orange Avenue infiltration basin. It designates the parties responsible for maintenance of the basin, and identifies the open space maintenance district assessments as the mechanism for financing permanent maintenance. Staff recommends Council continue this item. (Director of Public Works) Item continued on the Consent Calendar. * * END OF CONSENT CALENDAR * * PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES 9. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERING AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 19.54.020 AND ADDING SECTION 19.04.197 TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE - On 10/17/95, Council passed an emergency ordinance to exempt Residential Care Facilities for seven to twelve residents from having to obtain a Conditional Use Permit when those residents have been determined to belong to a protected class as defined in the Federal Fair Housing Law. Based on further analysis of the legal issues related to the matter, staff is recommending amendments to the Municipal Code that would permanently exempt such uses from the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit, provided that any such facility is located no closer than 1000 feet to another similar facility. Staff recommends Council place the ordinance on first reading. (Director of Planning) ORDINANCE 2659 AMENDING SECTION 19.54.020 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADDING SECTION 19.04.197 IN ORDER TO MODIFY THE UNCLASSIFIED USES REGULATIONS TO ALLOW RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES AS A MATTER OF RIGHT (first reading) Ken Lee, Assistant Planning Director, stated the City had been informed last year by the Department of Housing and Urban Development that they City may have unknowingly violated federal housing law by requiring a CUP to establish residential care facilities to house 7-12 individuals of a protected class. HUD felt it was discriminatory on the part of the City. In October 1995, Council passed an urgency ordinance and directed staff to return with a permanent ordinance. The Planning Commission voted 4-3 with the majority voting in favor of retaining the present CUP process as they were concerned with the lack of local control regarding land use decisions if the ordinance was adopted. It was the opinion of the Planning staff and City Attorney that the City was preempted by federal law. Therefore, staff recommended that Council adopt the ordinance. Mayor Horton questioned if there was a legal opinion regarding the number 12, i.e. maximum individuals allowed. Mr. Lee responded that there was not a clear cut case regarding the number. In terms of existing challenges that had come forth the City Attorney's office was comfortable with that number. Mr. Boogaard replied that 12 was the number HUD would use in the administration of the law, i.e. the point at which they would stand down from litigation. He felt it was their determination that 12 was the dividing line between a large family and a business. Because the City was required by law to treat such uses as a large family the City would have to say that large families of X number or greater could not reside in that location. Unless the City was prepared to state that families of a smaller number could not reside there the number 12 was generally accepted as the proper number. Minutes January 9, 1996 Page 4 Mayor Horton questioned how the City would know if a facility was in compliance with the 1,000 ft. requirement if there was no review required. Mr. Lee responded that the facility would have to be licensed by the State, and the City received notification of the license requests through the Fire Department. Staff would then respond whether or not they were in compliance with City regulations. Councilmember Rindone questioned how many other public agencies in San Diego had adopted a similar ordinance. Mr. Lee replied that it appeared all other agencies were requiring a CUP at the present time. There was some variation as to whether it was limited to single family areas or whether they were required to be in a multi-use area before they could apply for the CUP. At the present time, the City was faced with the threat of litigation and settlement agreement. The City of San Diego was reviewing their ordinance, but they were not under a separate suit by HUD. Mr. Boogaard stated while the City of San Diego required a CUP it was their operating practice to allow such a facility without compliance of that requirement. This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open. · Rod Davis, 233 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, representing the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, stated they did not feel they were in a position to support or oppose the ordinance and requested a three week delay in order to obtain more information. It appeared to them that other municipalities and agencies were not going to adopt similar regulations, and if the City did adopt the ordinance it would be inviting all of the people that wanted to open residential care facilities, without having to go through any City cheeks or controls, to come to Chula Vista. They felt it was a regional issue. · Patty Davis, 1375 #17 Callejon Montefrio, Chula Vista, CA, requested that Council either defeat the amendment or postpone it. To increase the number from 6 to 12 was allowing a business entity to operate in a single family residential zone without due process for the citizens of Chula Vista. Citizens had the right to know what was happening and address their concerns before the facilities went into their neighborhoods. There was a need for such facilities, but they needed to fit into a neighborhood and not become a nuisance. She did not believe the requirement of a CUP to increase the number of patients was discriminating against a class of people. When a CUP was in place the City had leverage to correct any unforeseen problems, without a CUP there was no City control or accountability. She felt more research needed to be done at the federal level to see what could be done. Other cities were not adopting similar amendments and, therefore, there would be an open door to the City of Chula Vista. There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed. Mr. Boogaard informed Council that due to the impending litigation and legal risks the item had been noticed for Closed Session. Mayor Horton stated she was not comlbrtable taking action on the item and preferred to continue the item for 3-4 weeks. Mr. Boogaard questioned if there were any further pending applications. Mr. Lee responded that there were none. Mr. Boogaard stated there would not be a problem with a three week continuance. If a problem arose staff would return to Council with an urgency item. If it was Council's intent to continue the item he recommended that there not be significant discussion. MS (Horton/Rindone) to continue the item to 2/6/96. Councilmember Moot stated it might be helpful to supplement the report with legal analysis, but he would leave it up to the City Attorney's discretion. The City of Escondido was involved in a lengthy and expensive lawsuit over Minutes January 9, 1996 Page 5 a similar problem and he felt some background from the City Attomey would be helpful. Information regarding the kind of litigation other cities had faced and related costs when they had resisted such challenges would also be helpful. The Council wanted to do the right thing but they needed to be mindful of the potential fiscal impacts. Mr. Boogaard responded that he had submitted a confidential legal memo and analysis to Council. He questioned if Council wanted him to make a public disclosure of the pending litigation throughout the state. Councilmember Moot felt it would be helpful for the members of the public to be apprised of the fiscal impact the Council would be required to consider. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-0-1 with Padilia absent. 10. PUBLIC HEARING PCS-95-04; TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR THE EASTLAKE GREENS UNIT 22, TRACT 95-04, INVOLVING 9 LOTS CONTAINING A TOTAL OF 135 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED TOWNHOMES ON 11.68 ACRES AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH GREENSVIEW DRIVE AND HUNTE PARKWAY - CALIFORNIA PACIFIC HOMES - The Tentative Subdivision Map consists of subdividing 11.68 acres into 9 lots containing a total of 135 dwelling units with 2.1 acres of interior open space, private streets and guest parking areas. The map also includes 1.5 acres of open space which is being offered for dedication to the City. Staff' recotmnends approval of the resolution. (Director of Planning) RESOLUTION 18175 APPROVING TRACT 95-04, A TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR 9 LOTS CONTAINING A TOTAL OF 135 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED TOWNHOMES ON 11.68 ACRES AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH GREENSVIEW DRIVE AND HUNTE PARKWAY - CALIFORNIA PACIFIC HOMES Robert Leiter, Director of Planning, informed Council that the applicant had requested a two week continuance in order to resolve another condition of approval. This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open. MSC (Rindone/Moot) to continue the public hearing to the meeting of 1/23/96. Approved 4-0-1 with Padilia absent. 11. PUBLIC HEARING PCS-96-03; TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR THE EASTLAKE GREENS UNIT 23, TRACT 96-03, INVOLVING 70 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND 3 OPEN SPACE LOTS ON 20.3 ACRES LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SOUTH GREENSVIEW DRIVE, EAST OF EASTLAKE PARKWAY - EASTLAKE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - The applicant has submitted a Tentative Subdivision Map known as EastLake Greens Unit 23, Tract 96-03, in order to subdivide 20.3 acres into 70 single family detached lots and 3 open space lots. Staff' recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Planning) RESOLUTION 18176 APPROVING TRACT 96-03, A TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR 70 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND 3 OPEN SPACE LOTS ON 20.3 ACRES LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SOUTH GREENSVIEW DRIVE WITHIN THE EASTLAKE GREENS PLANNED COMMUNITY - EASTLAKE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open. There being no public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed. RESOLUTION 18176 OFFERED BY COUNCIL~IEMBER ALEVY, reading of the text was waived, passed and approved 4-0-1 with Padilia absent. 12. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER 126 ALONG MAIN STREET FROM INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD TO THIRD AVENUE - On Minutes January 9, 1996 Page 6 12/5/95, Council ordered a public hearing to be held to determine whether the public health, safety or general welfare requires the formation of an underground utility district along Main Street from Industrial Boulevard to Third Avenue. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Public Works) RESOLUTION 18177 ESTABLISHING UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER 126 ALONG MAIN STREET FROM INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD TO THIRD AVENUE AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF ALLOCATION FUNDS TO SUBSIDIZE PRIVATE SERVICE LATERAL CONVERSION Councilmember Rindone questioned if the item was approved what funding would be available for 1996. Clifford Swanson, Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer, responded that the SDG&E Undergrounding Fund was several million dollars. Staff had been discussing the funding of more districts with SDG&E. Councilmember Rindone stated he was concerned that the City would lose some of the funds if they were not used during the balance of the year. Councilmember Alevy stated he would abstain from participation in order to avoid a conflict of interest as his employer did business with SDG&E. Mr. Swanson replied that the City would not lose any money to other agencies as it was set aside for Chula Vista's undergrounding. However, whether that could be lost to undergrounding projects was part of the on-going discussion with SDG&E. If that were to occur, the item would be brought back to Council for policy input and any subsequent approval. · Pat Barnes, San Diego Gas and Electric, stated the City could not lose funds because part of the franchise agreement specified that designated amounts of money be held for 1996 and 1997. That could not be changed without the agreement being changed. SDG&E was trying to cut back on Rule 20A projects and were approaching cities and the county with the proposal that the agencies relinquish some of their planned undergroundings in return for cash payments over five years. Through such an agreement the City would waive it's reserves. In the case of Chula Vista, the City probably could not get another project going or in the works by the end of 1996. Therefore, the City's allocations would remain the same through 1997. The franchise would be re-negotiated in 1997. Councilmember Rindone requested that the City Manager's office review the item as soon as feasible along with any options proposed and bring it back to Council for input. This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open. There being no public testimony, the public heating was declared closed. Mayor Horton stated the proposed project ranked fifth in the Utility Conversion Program and questioned what the first four projects were. Mr. Swanson replied they were Broadway, "F" Street, Orange Avenue, and "E" Street. MSC (Rindone/Moot) Resolution 18177 offered by Councilmember Rindone, reading of the text was waived; staff to supply Council with a memorandum updating the funding available through 1997 and a projection as to any policy decisions or extension of future projects. Approved 4-0-1 with Padilia absent. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS None submitted. Minutes January 9, 1996 Page 7 ACTION ITEMS None submitted. ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR Item pulled: 7. The minutes will reflect the published agenda order. OTHER BUSINESS 13. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT(S) a. Scheduling of meetings. Mr. Goss announced the City had received an Energy Award from SDG&E which recognized Chula Vista as one of the top customers implementing outstanding conservation program. SDG&E would be receiving an award on Tuesday, 10:00 a.m., at SeaWorld from the National Resources Defense Council. SDG&E would be honoring their top 40 customers on Tuesday night, 5:30 - 8:00 p.m., at the University Club. Chula Vista would be receiving their award at that time. b. Department Head presentations. Mr. Goss stated the presentations were a new process for presenting budget information. Over the last several years there had been substantial cuts in the budget which was primarily due to the recession and State take-aways. Departments would be making 15 minute presentations on what they did, what had happened in the past year regarding operations, what their goals were for the coming year, and performance measures for operations. He felt the performance measure portion was an evolving process. The numbera presented would be precise, but in terms of measuring program activities they may not be precise. For that reason staff requested Council feedback on what they wanted measured and goals. In the future he would be outlining, based on the information available, some of the options available in terms of future cutbacks or additional revenues. He felt feedback at that time would be very valuable in putting the overall budget together. Councilmember Moot requested that the agenda list the departments that would be making presentations. If possible, he would also like to see a brief outline of the information to be presented. If that was not available, he requested that it be forwarded to Council after the presentations. Personnel Department Candy Emerson gave a brief background of her personal experience. She then reviewed the department's Statement of Purpose, samples of departmental goals, sample performance measures, and major accomplishments for the current year. Councilmember Moot suggested that a potential goal would be a reduction of work related grievances that resulted in court litigation. If that could be reduced by even a small percentage it could result in a significant savings to the City. Ms. Emerson responded that was a goal that had been listed and would be included in the budget document. Councilmember Rindone felt that training should be included in the Statement of Purpose because it was a vital component of the department. He also noted that many cities and agencies had changed their name to Department of Human Resources which he t~lt was more inclusive and suggested that such a change be considered. He looked forward to seeing the inclusion of a goal for the diversity of the work force at all levels which would be reflective of the community. Mayor Horton agreed that there needed to be diversity, but she hoped Councilmember Rindone was not referring to a quota. Councilmember Rindone responded that he recommended the department insure that there was a selection process in place for applicants to be chosen from. Minutes January 9, 1996 Page 8 Library David Palmet, Library Director, gave a brief background of his personal experience. He then reviewed the department's Statement of Purpose, samples of departmental goals, sample performance measures, and major accomplishments for the current year. Councilmember Rindone complemented Mr. Palmer on a superb report, his enthusiasm, and his dedicated staff. He felt the department's efforts in obtaining grants should also be included. When brought back to Council he would like to see information regarding the relationship of telecenters to libraries and how Mr. Palmet viewed them as library branches of the future. Councilmember Alevy requested that staff include any potential differences, increases or decreases, in capital outlay items. Parks & Recreation Department Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks & Recreation, gave a brief background of his personal experience. He then reviewed the department's Statement of Purpose, samples of departmental goals, sample performance measures, and major accomplishments for the current year. Councilmember Rindone felt the City had the finest Parks & Recreation Department and noted they were doing more with less. He requested that staff examine the number of middle schools where there were after school programs for latch key children. Councilmember Moot felt there was a merger of the department's goals and objectives. Due to the eclectic number and different types of services provided Council needed to get a handle on the difference between goals and objectives so they could begin to prioritize the different services provided. He felt it was one of the most difficult departments to define. Police Department Rick Emerson, Chief of Police, gave a brief background of his personal experience. He then reviewed the department's Mission Statement, samples of departmental goals, sample performance measures, and major accomplishments for the current year. Mr. Goss stated his department had questions regarding the funding of the 800 MHZ system and the CAD/MTD. Those were issues the Council would have to address in the future. He noted that the presentations had averaged approximately 25 minutes and he would try to limit departments to 15 minutes in the future. 14. MAYOR'S REPORT(S) a. Mayor Horton stated the City had participated in the Holiday Bowl Parade and the entry had received an award. 15. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Alevv a. Chula Vista's Parks and Recreation program use of Southwestern College's tennis and swimming facilities. Councilmember Alevy stated it was his understanding that the City presently had use of the tennis courts at Southwestern College and that the City would be able to use the swimming pool until the YMCA facility was built. He had been recently informed that the City did not have use of the swimming pool. Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks & Recreation, replied that on 4/19/95 the Community College Board of Trustees bought out of the City's agreement with the understanding that if the City wanted to use the pool in the interim time until the YMCA facility was built it would have to be done through a use agreement and the City would have to Minutes January 9, 1996 Page 9 pay all related fees associated with the use. In past years the City did not have to pay, but in the future they would have to pass those use costs on to the users. Councilmember Alevy questioned if there was an exchange of funds to negate the contract. Mr. Valenzuela responded that in the early 70's the City and Southwestem College submitted funds for a capital improvement project, i.e. the wading pool and the construction of the pool. The same arrangement occurred for the tennis courts. The City received approximately $2,300 which went to the General Fund. Councilmember Alevy questioned what Mr. Valenzuela recommended for pool facilities on the east side of the City. Mr. Valenzuela replied that when classes were given at Southwestern College the City would have to pass those higher costs on to the user. Over the past three years there had been a closing window of opportunity to use the pool because of the increase in the student population and another aquatic group utilizing the facility. Councilmember Alevy stated he was aware of several pools in the EastLake area and questioned if there was a possibility of public use or joint use with those facilities. He requested that staff return with that information. Councilmember Rindone b. Reopening negotiations to consider elimination of City work furlough and returning annual pay reductions of 1.92% to affected employees on work furlough. Councilmember Rindone requested that the item be continued for two weeks in order to give him time to review the item with the Mayor. c. Councilmember Rindone stated Council had received a memorandum regarding the Civil Service Commission and he requested clarification as to what was expected of the Council.
