He felt that Council could also review the Wish List, Downtown Business Promotions, the requests from the AIDS Project and ADAPT. Downtown Business Promotions - Budget Memo #9 City Manager Goss stated one of the issues raised was the Downtown Manager and that the budget presented did not include the manager. The impact on the budget would be $25,000 from Redevelopment with the balance of the budget supported by special district assessments and arcs and crafts vendors fees. The Agency budget would not be considered unt~ July 12, 1990 and he felt it might be better to address this issue after that time. MSC (Moore/McCandliss) to continue the item to the budget worksession for the Redevelopment Agency on 7/12/90 at 7:00 pan. Approved 4-0-1 with Councilman Malcolm absenL CALPIRG and ADAPT - Budget Memo #25 and #45 City Manager Goss recommended against the funding for ~IRG and ADAPT. The Police Department felt that many of the programs by ADAPT were being duplicated by other agencies in the Southbay area, Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 2 therefore, they did not recommend funding. Staff had not had time to prepare a report on the AIDS Project but would not recommend against some type of funding. A brief presentation was given by the ADAPT representatives. ADAPT had been taken out of the contractor/vendor level at the County and had been put in the policy level in the Deparunent of Health Services. Treatment is not currently offered, programs are preventative. The DARE program is currently underway and the Bill of Rights program was kicked off six weeks ago. The membership fee is not mandatory but Council should understand that they did need matching monies. Monies are utilized for staffing and matetiffs. The more funds received the better able they are to expand existing programs and develop new programs. When staff is established they will try to send their staff into communities in order to set up their own programs. The City of Poway currently contributes $5,000 and staff time, which is an alternative available to Chula Vista. The County gives them approximately $20,0O0 a year which is disbursed in $2,000 mini-grants. City Manager Goss stated that ADAPT had provided, in 1989-90, $2,000 to the Chula Vista Substance Abuse Task Force through the Police Department. It would seem that the ADAPT program was in need of outside start-up monies and Council could substitute the $2,000 normally funded to the Task Force to the ADAPT program and review through the Block Grant process next spring. Mayor Cox felt it was a good program and that the City should get involved somehow. MS (Cox/Nader) to fund ADAPT with $2,500 in money and S2,500 in staff help and assistance. Councilman Nader questioned where the staff help would come from. Sometimes it was easier funding actual dollars than tzying to find additional staff assistance. City Manager Goss responded that the revenues would come from the Community Promotions fund but he was not sure where the staff time would come from other than staff hours already provided to the Task Force. IMayor Cox stated it was his intent that the necessary staff would be freed up to assist in programs that would benefit the citizens of the City. City Manager Goss stated that he would need more information as to what those programs were before he could properly respond. The recommended fee for the City is $10,000. SUBb'H't UTE MOTION: (Nader) tentatively approptiate S10,000 and ask for a supplemental budget memo prior to be the public hearing and adoption of ~he budget identifying the funding source. Motion died for lack of second. AMENDlVlF_.aX~ TO MOTION: {Nader/Cox) ask City Manager to bring a recommendation back to Council as to whether the second $2,500 should be in the form of a grant or staff time. If the latter, he would like to know what type of staff support the City would be expected to supply. Mayor Cox felt the staff time should be lef~ up to the City Manager and would depend upon the programs utilized. Councilman Nader expressed his concern with the difficulty the staff time may cause rather than just funding an additional $2,S00. VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED: approved 4-0-1 with Councilman Mffcobn absent. Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 3 CALPIRG - Budget Memo #45 City Manager Goss stated the Budget Manager had concluded that this was over and above the basic services already received. He felt there were other requests received that had a higher need. MS{3 (CoX/Moore) to accept the recommendation of the City Manager and not fund the request at this lime. Their request is to revised next year along with all others received. Approved 3-1-1 with Councilman Nader voting no and Counrflm~n Malcolm absent, CIP Budget City Manager Goss stated Budget Memo #54 addressed Couneil's concerns on the freeway interchanges and #56 contained the information requested on the Block Grants. Discussion then followed on the interchange.projects and proposed funding. Staff requested that Council not diver~ ftmds in the Interchange Study fund ($430,003 until a more detailed analysis could be presented for review. Councilwoman McCanclliss felt it would be helpful to have a matrix of the intersections, how much they would cost, what accounts they would come from, and when they would be constructed. Supplemental #1 - City Manager Goss stated this was a summary of the CIP budget presented to Council, The transmitlal memo outlines many of the new projects. Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the schedule for the Norman Park Center. Shauna Stokes, Senior Management Assistant, responded that the plan is to move the seniors on 6/29 with the County moving on the 16th. It is anticipated that the seniors will be out of the building from one to one and one half years. The removal of asbestos will have to go out to bid, they are curren~y working with the architect on the interior materials, colors, etc. City Manager Goss stated staff had recommended looking at the possible conversion of the Lauderbaeh Community Center. Rosemary Lane, Library Director, stated the Library Board of Trustees did not want to make any recommendations until they heard from the Montgomery Planning Committee. Mayor Cox felt there should be a name given to the park at Orange and 4th Streets. MSC (Cox/Nader) to refer to the Parks and Recreation Commilsion and the Montgomery Planning Cornmittee to come back with a name for the Orange and 4th Streets park. Approved 4-0-1 with Countgroan Malcolm absent, Discussion then followed regarding the undergrounding o[ utilities and traffic signals. MSC (Cox/Moore) to authorize sl~ff to contact the property owners on the east side of Orange to Moss to provide the necessary' right-of-way with the understanding that the City would pay for the improvements in subsequent years. Approved 4-0-1 with Councilman Malcolm absent, Councilwoman McCandliss questioned the Redevelopment expenditure of $250,000 for freeway signs. Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 4 City Manager Goss stated he had discussed the reimbursement of costs with the Port Disu-ict and they appeared agreeable. They would review tidelads CIP projects one by one. He did not believe this would be full reimbursement, MSC (Cox/Moore) direct staff to find out the costs to modify the fleeway signs to say Chula Vista Harbor (2 signs - Chula Vista Marina next right}. Approved 3-1-1 with Councilman Nader voting no and Councilman Malcolm absent. Counc~man Nader questioned the $250,000 for the Metro II project. City Manager Goss responded that this was an estimate and may possibly not be enough. Staff anticipated that there would have to be follow-up work, i.e. going on our own or engineering. Councilwoman McCandliss stated she had a problem with the city-wide records management program. Lori Leiberman, Principal Management Assistant, responded that a consultant would be hired the first year and also provide for a part time person that would inventory records and develop a records retention schedule. After the tirst year Council will be presented with options for a records program. MS (McCandliss/Nader) refer to staff for a budget referral and memorandum from the City Clerk. Councilman Nader stated that a verbal report would be acceptable. He further expressed his concern over the $40,000 for a consultant as he felt the City Clerk was hired for her expertise in records management. He did not have any doubt that a records management program was needed throughout the City or that funding was required for microfilming of records. He felt specific information was needed before action could be taken on this request. Assistant City Manager Asmus responded that the Council would have to approve the contract for the consultant in the future. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-O-1 with Counc~mnn Malcolm absant. Bicycle Transportation Projects - City Manager Goss stated the City was given $30,000 funding for the bridge only and that other funds would have to come from the force account or other funding sources for connections. This is currently an unsafe condition and he felt the City would eventually need approximately $219,000 for the project. There will need to be extensive road work done along with the bridge. Counc~man Nader expressed concern over the bicydists and joggers utilizing the same bridge and questioned the feasibility of marking the bridge in order to separate them. Jerry Foncerrada, Acting Director of Parks and Recreation, responded that horses would not be allowed on the bridge and that the joggers and bicyclists shared the entire route gixring right-of-way to each other. MSC (McCandliss/Cox) to set three months as the limit for negotiations with College regarding the right-of- way for the intersection of Otay Road and Gotbrim. with a ~port back to Council at that time. Approved 4-0-1 with Colllln'lm~n Malcolm absent. Gas Tax - Mayor Cox expressed his frustration over the accumulation of projects over four years. He questioned whether it was staffs intent to continue accumulating projects before starting on the improvements. Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 5 John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, replied that the plans were virtually complete arxd staff had met With the property owners individually. It had been an extremely time consuming project. All priority A projects had been completed. City Manager Goss stated there were approximately 2,700 city-wide parcels without street improvements. Mayor Cox stated that ff the pre-annexation parcels could be identified, staff could communicate with the property owners to inform them that there was a program where if they were willing to pay the actual costs of the improvements, the City would pay for the costs of actual design and engineering. This way the City could see how many owners would be interested, with the ultimate goal being the improvements put in those areas that needed it and it would be voluntary compliance. MSC (Cox/Nader) refer the proposal regarding voluntary compliance to staff for a repor~ and recOmrnelldatiolB back to Cotlnci]. Allproved ~[-0-1 with Councibllan Ma]cobll absanL Federal Aid Urban - Mr. Lippitt informed Council that Phase I should be completed by September 1990, Phase II by October/November 1990, and Phase III by June/July 1991. California Library Service - no comments or questions. Park Acquisition and Development Funds - no comments or questions. Public Facfiities - no comments or questions. Redevelopment Agency Funds - Councfiman Nader expressed his concem over the lack of awareness by the citizens for parking in the downtown area. He questioned the expenditure of $56,000 for signs for the parking structure. Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, responded that there had also been a referral m staff regarding the off-street parking. The report had not come back to Council and was not included in the proposed budget. City Manager Goss stated that this was only a spending plan and that staff would have to come back to Council for specific requests or contracts. Mayor Cox questioned the animal shelter configuration and questioned whether other options had been looked at. City Manager Goss responded that the costs were higher due to constraints and contamination. They looked at the County but did not feel it was cost effective. Councilman Nader suggested that an RFP be put out regarding excess space or overflow animals to see if anyone would respond. City Manager Goss replied that he did not know who it would be sent to, staff could revisit that issue. Residential Construction Tax - no comments or questions. Sewer Facilities Replacement - no comments or questions. State Parks and Recreation Program - no comments or questions. Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 6 Town Centre I - In-Lieu Parking Fees - no comments or questions. Traffic Signal Fund - no cornmen.ts or questions. Transportation Act Development Grants - City Manager Goss stated the 'E" Street sidewalk had been reduced to $20,000 (regional funds). Additional funds w~l have to be obtained to complete the project. Miscellaneous Funds - Mayor Cox stated he would like to get the Cultural Arts Commission involved regarding any new projects. He questioned the moving of the statue to Memorial Park as he felt it would be more visible and a better location. City Manager Goss stated there were 33 new CIP projects and 124 current projects. He felt they were making headway as these were being assigned to staff for completion. Councilman Nader questioned the addition of bicycle lockers at the various trolley and bus stops at the City. City Council recessed at 8:56 p.m. and reconvened the Joint City Council/Redevelopment Agency meeting at 9:09 p.m. The Council meeting reconvened at 9:34 with Counc~woman McCandliss absent. Sunflemental Buds~et Memos Consultant Contracts - Councilman Nader expressed his concern over the pest control contracts for the City and requested a memorandum regarding this issue. He wanted to have an environmental pest control policy / developed. City Manager Goss responded that the Risk Manager was working on a program regarding hazardous chemicals in the workplace. Staff would follow up with an additional budget memo addressing that issue. Non-Resident Use of the Library - continued to the Tuesday meeting. Parking Meters - Mayor Cox stated there was better enforcement in the downtown area and the implementation of the parking fee increase and he did not feel that the parking fines should be implemented at this time. He felt it was to much, to quick. MS {Cox/Moore) 1) have enforcement officer put a dime in the expired meter, 2) put a card on the vehicle informing lhe person that there had been an increase in the parking meter fees, and 3) do this for a reasonable phase-in period (4-6 weeks). Mayor Cox stated he had received complaints due to the stepped-up enforcement and felt people should be made aware of the changes in the parking fees. Councilman Moore felt it would promote good will but that the card was extremely important. It should thank the person for shopping downtown along with information on the increased fees. Councilman Nader questioned the ability of the Council to vote on this motion tonight as it was not an agendized item. City Attorney Boogaard responded that the change in procedure in which the City enforces parking fees, "~ which would impact revenues, would be legal for Council to take action. Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 7 Councilman Nader questioned the phase in period. City Manager Goss responded that if it were left to the staffs discretion he would recommend one month. Councilman Nader did not have a problem with raising the parking fines if the grace period was enacted by Council. He felt it would be more reasonable to install a two hour meter in the downtown area. Mayor Cox stated the Project Area Committee would be meeting next week to discuss the timing and he would like to receive their input. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 3-0-2 with Counrilrnelllbe._rs McCari_d]iss ap_d M.a]colrn absant. Chief Winters requested clarification of the motion. Mayor Cox responded that the parking fees were increased on Third Avenue only. Maintenance Workers I (3) - This was a carry-over item pending a staff report on the additional money the City would be receiving for street maintenance and improvements based on Proposition 111. This is a new funding source which gives staff the opportunity to look at these staffing needs. The Public Works Director would like to look at the overall public works maintenance program to see how it works into the street maintenance program. Councilman Moore expressed his concern as to what would happen to the streets if this money was utilized in other areas. He appreciated the report but questioned the timing. City Manager Goss responded that it was staffs intent to come back in July with a more comprehensive program of what could be done with Proposition 111 monies, how it could be spent, timing for funding, and how it would fit into the overall street maintenance program. It was his understanding that the City would not be precluded from hiring staff for street maintenance. Councilman Nader stated he would not want to prejudice the staff report on how to spend the Proposition 111 monies. It should be understood that the hiring of the three workers should not be the only consideration. MSC (Moore/Nader) refer to staff for a report on Proposition 111 funding. Approved 3-0-2 with Couseilmemben Mcf'-and]iss and Malcolm absent. Loans - Budget Memo #19 and #48 - City Manager Goss stated staff would return with the transfers when the budget was ~nalized. Senior Information and Referral Center - Councilman Nader referred to the decline in the use of services. Councilman Moore questioned why the City continued to subsidize Southbay when the City no longer received funds from the County for this program. Jess Valenzuela, Acting Director of Parks and Recreation, stated there was a policy that no one is turned away. Many of the programs serve non-residents but there is a policy to prioritize residents in programs (registration programs). AIDS Project - City Manager Goss stated the request was for $1,000. Staff had no objections to Council funding from the General Fund. There is no supplemental on this request. Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 8 Councilman Nader questioned whether there was a problem with AIDS in the City of Chula Vista. City Manager Goss responded that there was not the level of problem that the City of San Diego had but there was a problem in the City. Dave Byers replied that the AIDS Project received approximately $700,000 a year in various funding and probably another $300,000 to $400,000 in volunteer time. The County Health Department had given the AIDS Project a very high rating. MSC (Cox/Moore) to appropriate $1,000 for the AIDS Project. Approved 3-0-2 with Councilmemben McCandliss and Malcolm absent. Engine Analyzer - City Manager Goss stated this had been removed from the Wish List and placed on the recommended list. It is an expensive piece of equipment that the City currently does not have. The City had been borrowing the unit or had to job out equipment. The equipment will cost approximately $40,000 and would have a 7-10 year life. MSC CMoore/Nader} to place the engine anallrzer in the budget for consideration. Approved 3-0-2 with Councilmembers McCandliss and Malcolm absent. Travelers Information System - Counc~man Moore felt the program paid for itself if well handled. MS (Moore/~ader) to place the Travelers Information System in the budget with the restriction on expenditure unnl it is derided where the funding would come from, City Manager Goss stated the report had been informational but it looked like there were several issues that would have to be resolved. The main issue would be the informational signs on the highway. Councilman Nader felt it would be better if this was addressed when staff had more information. City Manager Goss stated that the application had been submitted for the FCC license. There needed to be a definitive answer by CalTrans on the signs and costs. It was not included in the budget due to the uncertainty of the freeway signs. Councilman Nader stated that the motion made sense from a budgetary point of view but he did not want to set a precedent of placing items in the budget with restraints on the expenditures. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 3-02 with Councfimembex~ McCandliss and Malcolm absent. Expansion of Residential Curbside Program - Stephanie Popek, Principal Management Assistant, stated the report was informational. Staff is currently negotiating but a ballpark figure would be $1.25/household per month. Councilman Moore referred to all r.he increased fees and felt the City would have to do a good job of advising the public of the increased fees and the need for those increases. Councilman Nader felt the public should be informed of the cost alternatives, i.e. curbside recycling and what increase there would be if curbside recycling was not initiated. Public Information and Televised Town Meetings - City Manager Goss stated Budget Memo #36 had three specific recommendations: 1) redesigning the Qum'cerly News Letter, 2) City Manager's column in the Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 9 newspaper, and 3) initiate and participate in a cable televised call-in show (at least annually). Budget Memo #50 addressed televised town meetings. It was felt that the OTAY Ranch Meeting could be a test program with a report back to Council. MSC (Cox/Nader) to approve the ~u'ee recommendations contained in Budget Memo #36. Approved 3-0-2 with Counc~rnembers McCandliss and Malcolm absent. M (Moore) to pursue the video taping of the OTAY Ranch Meeting with a report back to Council on the COSls, beliefits, alld recommendations. Motion died for lack of second. City Manager Goss felt there might be additional funding sources available, i.e. cable companies, developers, etc. He requested that Council give a general statement of approval for the taping of the OTAY Ranch meeting as an experimental project with a report back to Council. MSC (Nader/Moore) move to accept the three recommendations contained in Budget Memo #36 and direct staff to explore televising the OTAY Ranch Town Meeting and use as an experiment with a report back to Council on the success and feas~ility of televising future town meetings. Staff is to explore with OTAY Ranch and Cox Cable the funding of the meeting and have staff consider and make recommendations to Council regarding a call-in feature for the program. Approved 3-0-2 with Councilmembers McCandliss and Malcolm absent. Councilman Nader felt a call-in feature at these meetings would make better sense or it would not be any different than the televising of regular City Council meetings. Establishment of Youth Scholarships - Councilman Nader stated that if Budget Memo #51 was in response to his comments he did not believe that staff understood his request. He suggested that classes that do not meet their maximurn level, that extra spaces be allocated to low income persons. It would not involve asking the insuTactor to take a cut in salary because these spaces would be vacant anyway. Mr. Valenzuela stated it would have to be a negotiated item between the City and the instructor. Mayor Cox stated he could support the first recommendation, i.e. the allocation of a portion of FCP, funds normally deposited as general fund revenues. Councilman Nader recommended that Council approved the first and second recommendations but felt that staff should review his recommendation regarding the untilled spaces. This would not predetermine spaces but would wait until the registration is completed and then would designate the untilled spaces. MSC (Nader/Moore) to approve recommendations: 1 ) allocate a portion of FCR funds normally deposited as general fund revenues, 2) secure funding from outside sources (vendors° companies, organizations, individuals, etc.); and 3) ask staff to implement a program whereby when the registration for the classes is complete, vacant spaces in a given class could be given to low income persons on a materials cost only basis. Approved 3-0-2 with Coun~lmembers McCandliss and Malcolm absent. Fire Department Staffing Issues - Councilman Nader questioned what the staff recommendation was regarding Item #2, ladder truck/rescue rig staffing. City Manager Goss responded that staff recommended that it be deferred and not included in the proposed budget. It was his determination that funds should be utilized to staff Station No. 6 which he felt was the first priority. Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 10 Councilman Nader questioned whether the revenues from new growth would be sufficient to staff that Station. City Manager Goss responded that funds were already being received and were being utilized to balance the current budget. Councilman Nader stated Council had requested a memo which would indicate how much of the revenues the City was already receiving and what the shotflail would likely be. This should include the costs of operating Station No. 6. City Manager Goss responded that he was not certain as to how precise he could be but that staff would look at his request. Traffic Division - Counc~man Nader noted that approximately 26.7% of the officers time of was spend on other activities and questioned what these activities were. William Winters, Police Chief, responded that this would include roll call and training. This was also higher due to the turn over of personnel and their training. Councilman Nader stated it was Councfl's intent, when adding motorcycle officer, to step-up moving traffic enforcement. He was concerned that these officers were being utilized for other duties. Chief Winters responded that the traffic units were responsible for accident investigation. Injury accidents, especially fatalities, would be investigated by the motorcycle officers. This had been their responsib~ity since the motorcycle officers were added to the staff. Chula Vista 2000 Recommendations - Mayor Cox felt this should be carried over to the Tuesday meeting to be heard by a full Council. City Manager Goss felt that ultimately a workshop would need to be held to review the recommendations and the budget implications. Recovery of Cable Consultant Expenses - no comments or questions. Boards and Commission Budget Process - City Manager Goss stated this was an information item and unless directed otherwise staff would proceed with the recommendations to streamline the budget process. Councilman Nader felt the role of the Board/Commission secretary had been expanded beyond what it should be and that a member should be in attendance to answer any questions the Council may have. Communications should go through the Chair of the commission and not through the secretary. City Manager Goss stated that the staff person needed to interface with the bureaucracy but that the actual content should come from the committee with the secretary being the messenger. Street Sweeping - City Manager Goss stated that the report had been done quickly and that one piece of missing information was how many predictable storms there would be in an average year. There are about 10 to 12 storms per season which would be approximately 43 days of measurable rain. The cost of sweeping the entire City over a three day period would be approximately $7,200. Councilman Nader questioned whether the City varied the frequency of sweeping from one season to another. Minutes June 14, 1990 Page 11 City Manager Goss responded that the frequency was not changed due to the season. Councilman Nader questioned if there would be savings if the amount of sweeping was varied, i.e. more frequent sweeping in the winter then the summer. He would like to have staff check to see if it could be done without undue cost to the City. City Manager Goss responded that the decision to change the frequency would have to be a policy decision. MS({Nader/Moore) direct staff to bring back information regarding the poss~ility of negotiating street sweeping contracts that would provide for more frequent sweeping during the winter season to be offset by less frequent sweeping during the ~,mmer season (to be cost neutral). Approved 3-0-2 with CouDe~']rneBlbers McC-andliss and Malcolm absent. Economic Development Program - City Manager Goss stated this was an information item regarding the proposed program. Mayor Cox felt this should be deferred and discussed with the Chula Vista 2000 recommendations. 3. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - None 4. GI lY MANAGERS REPORTf S) - None City Manager Goss requested direction from Council an: 1) the updating of the listing of the 2,750 parcels city-wide missing improvements, and 2) the list of completed street improvement projects in the Montgomery area as requested by Councilman Nader. Councilmen Nader requested that the list of parcels missing improvements be put in the Council library for future reference. 5. MAYORS REPORT{S} a. Letter of Support for County Recycling Grant Application - (Subject came up subsequent to the mandatory seventy-two hour posting requirement and action is required prior to the next regular City Council meeting. It will take a unanimous vote of the Council to place the item on the agenda for consideration.) MS({CoI/lqader) to place the item on the agenda for consideration by Council.
