Water companies. He also explained the State II Water Alert, which is a mandatory issuance of Stage I,
which was voluntary. The main aspects are: 1) watering of lags on odd or even days, depending on the
house number, and only between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., 2) washing of cars, boats, etc. to be done on these
odd/even days, 3) there should be no hosing down of cement areas, 4) decorative fountains should not be
operating, and S) restaurants are being asked not to serve water unless requested. They are working with
the City staff in order to implement the program and are working toward forming the Southbay Water
Conservation Task Force, which will be made up from key users in the Southbay. Violations can be called
into the water districts. He stated the Allocation Program is a separate issue which deals with the plumbing

4h. Presentation on San Diego Gas and Electric proposed power plant construction - Thomas M.
Mattock, Public Advisor, California Energy Commission.
Mr. Maddock stated his office is independent of the Office of the California Energy Commission and is to
assist the public, insure public notice, provide easy access to meeting locations, and help make information
available regarding proposed construction. He stated SDG&E had filed a NOI (Notice of Intention) to
construct a power plant. The NOI process has two separate public proceedings which review the
environmental impacts, engineering design, and the need for electricity demand, which is a twelve month
process. The first proposed informational hearing will be held in Chula Vista on May 3rd in the Council
Chambers. At the conclusion of the hearings, the Committee will publish a report that will be made public.
Hearings will also be held at the time the report is made public. A final report will then go to the
Commission at a public hearing and voting will take place to approve or disapprove. The full details of the
proposed plant is contained in seven volumes and additional supplements. Anyone interested may sign up
for the Interest List, attend the meetings, and/or give public comment, and become an intervener.
Mayor Cox questioned whether the support for the BITthe site from the community would weigh in the
evaluation of the sites.
Mr. Maddock stated that there will be two sites originally chosen. Technically, the community support will
not be relevant. He stated that the Energy Commission has the authority to grant permission to build a
plant and also can override local ordinances, if the statewide need for electricity overrides the local concerns
in zoning.
Mayor Cox stated that Chula Vista has some of the last existing wet lands in California, and the City has
been working with the California Fish and Game to preserve this area. He felt that there would be adverse
effects from the power plant which could impact this balance and questioned whether this would be
considered.
Mr. Maddock stated that staff has already asked several of these questions regarding the Chula Vista and
Carlshad sites. There will be a detailed analysis done during the NOI phase and an EIR in the AFC phase
(second twelve month review). There are statues which also require Coastal Commission review and
recommendation.

David Nielsen, San Diego National Sports Training Foundation stated this was the culmination of four years
of work. He then introduced Larry McCullum, Training Centers Director for the Olympic Training
Committee, and Ken Weisman, Associate Partner, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
Mr. Leiter stated that the staff report dealt only with the EIR and that staff had an additional presentation.
Mr. Nielsen stated theywould request exemption from conditions #2 and #3, requirement for the foundation
to install median landscaping. It was their understanding that EastLake would put in the improvements as
the developments occurred along the fights-of-way. They estimate it would cost approximately $300,000.
Kent Aden, EastLake Development Company, 900 Lane Avenue, stated there were two portions of road being
talked about the south portion of Hunt Parkway and the other being Orange Avenue. There are two separate
sets of conditions covering these. The first, the City is already covered on is the south part of Hunt Parkway
which is conditioned as part of the EastLake Greens project and will be installed in approximately two years
with the EastLake Greens project. The second portion on Orange Avenue would be condifioned with
EastLake Trails and Vista project which should be three to five years. They felt it was either covered or if
not, the would have the opportunity to cover in future approvals, and they would give the City a letter to
that effect.
Councilman Malcolm stated he would like to see the project approved as presented tonight. It was his
understanding that one of the capital improvements by EastLake would be all infrastructure needed to bring
traffic into the Olympic Training Center. He felt infrastructure was all landscaping requirements in the
streets as staff was recommending. He did not feel tonight was the time to try to negotiate, but the more
important question was when would it be done, and would it be in conjunction with the opening of the
Olympic Training Center. He felt this was a major document and if these conditions were taken out tonight,
the City would lose leverage with EastLake to ensure that it was done and done right. He stated it could
be worked out at a later date and then amended.
Dr. Andrew Strenk, 801 2nd Street, Santa Monica, California, representing Southern California Olympians,
stated they supported the project and staff recommendations.

Chula Vista as an asset to the program. He added that this project has already had a significant impact
throughout the world, and they are looking forward to becoming a member of the community in the future.
There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed.
City Manager Goss stated staff would recommend one further condition which should be modified.
Condition 26A should be modified as "precise plan to evaluate rather than utilize low and high pressure
sodium lighting." and delete "to the maximum extent possible".

in Rohr Park.
MSC (Malcolm/Cox) to have s~aff bring back a resolution to allow a minimal fee charge to off-se.t the
increased insurance charge.
Assistant City Manager Asmus stated that Rohr Park will be shut down starting in September for
construction work, and CVLS is concerned they will not be able to come up with the $2,600 premium in
time. The City's Risk Manager has suggested that Council may want to consider the reduction of the liabfiity
coverage to $500,000 from $1 m~lion which would reduce the premium to approximately $1,200. CVLS
and staff feel conffortable with the decreased coverage. Staff does not support the City paying half of the
premium as there are many other organizations that are also in need of assistance.
Councilman Moore questioned whether the motion would also cover the changes needed in the agreement.

14. REPORT (;HY POLICY REQUIRING DEVELOPERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
FOR NATURAL DRAINAGE
Steven Krasnoff, 2445 5th Avenue, San Diego, California, representing Rancho del Sur expressed their
concerns over: 1) the downstream owner could be required to maintain their drainage facilities even though
the flows could be coming from upstream properties, 2) the upstream property owners would not be
required to pay their fair share of the maintenance costs under these policies, and 3) he felt the policy
should contain language to require sharing of the maintenance costs of any drainage facilities that serve
more than one property equitably between all the owners of the drainage basin.
Thorn Fuller, 2727 Hoover, National City, California, representing Rancho del Rey Partnership, stated they
were in support of the policy. He noted the costs of maintaining concrete drainage basins and felt there
were many reasons to go to natural drainage. He addressed a letter that had been submiRed to staff
requesting consideration regarding bonding.
John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, stated there were two issues. The Fwst was how the drainage area
will be maintained, which has been resolved, since they will be part of the open space district. As a
consideration of that, Council had requested staff return with a requirement or policy for developer
participation. He stated that the downstream owners are always required to receive the upstream drainage
and the districts would take that into account when determining the assessments. The other factor is when
there is development upstream, retention basins w6uld be required. Staff feels that Mr. Fuller's comments
are appropriate and as revenues come in the amount of the bond could be reduced.
Councilman Moore questioned whether the safeguards could be placed in the policy.
Mr. Lippitt stated that staff could amend the policy to include safeguards regarding upstream development
as much as possible.
Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the assessment and whether it would be the same ff it were a
concrete channel and whether the costs will fluctuate from year to year.
Mr. Lippitt stated there would not be an annual assessment if the channel was concrete. It is hoped that
the costs will eventually go down, with a reserve after the five years.
MSC CMcCandliss/Moore) to adopt the proposed policy and to refer the letter to staff to address those
concerns. Approved 3-0-1-1 with Councilman Malcolm abstaining and Councilman Nader absent.

a. Councilman Malcolm:

requirements for the City would be one, three, or five million dollars. He felt it was inappropriate that the
issue of lowering the insurance requirement for the Live Steamers was brought before Counc~. He stated
he would rather fund the $1,300 rather than placing the City at such a risk.
City Manager Goss stated that he agreed with Councilman Malcolm in terms of the liability issues. This was
presented as a verbal report and staff had felt that this had been taken care of last week. He felt staff was
trying to look at all options available and noted that the Live Steamers were out of insurance as of today,

Stated she had recently h~ard that the City of San Diego was attempting to establish thresholds for
freeway use and capacity. She requested a report back from staff regarding what has been discussed and
