YEAR 1991/92 ~ LI~ut-I~D STATES ~G COMPANY, INC. AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
E~ECLri~ SAH) AGI~RP~4ENT - The construction of quality public works infrastructure improvements
depends in part, on the quality of materials used. The City has an excellent inspection staff which is
complemented by contract inspectors. To make the inspectors more effective it is necessary to obtain
material testing services for projects built with both public and private funds. These services provide the
inspectors with the ab~ity to assure that the materials supplied to construct the project meet the project's
specifications. As a result of the RFP process, staff has negotiated a contract with United States Testing
Company to provide material testing services for FY 1991/92. It is estimated that the consultant will provide
between 2,000 and 3,000 person hours of material testing services at a total cost of $150,000. Staff
recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Public Works) Pulled from the Consent Calendar.

Mayor Nader stated that Council would discuss Items 17 and 18 simultaneously.
Councilman Malcolm questioned what was being done on 'H' Street in front of the Tierra Nova Center
where the asphalt is breaking up.
Clifford Swanson, City Engineer, responded that the area would be reconstructed and resurfaced. This would
be the responsibility of the City.
John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, responded that some of the problems were the result of the design
regarding the landscape medians. The damage was mainly due to water, not materials.
Mr. Swanson stated that staff had reviewed the design standards for the medians and has changed them.
Councilman Malcolm referred to the consultant rate of $50.00/hour (Item 18) and questioned whether
someone could be hired by the City cheaper.
City Manager Goss responded that if the City hired inspectors, it would result in lay-offs during periods they
were not needed.
Mr. Swanson stated that the contract also included vehicles furnished by the compan~ as well as supervision
provided.
Councilman Malcolm felt it was the responsibility of the Council to see that the citizens of the City had
affordable housing. He expressed his concern over the fees currently being charged to new homes and felt
the City should monitor the rising fees.

RANCHO DEL REY SPA I: RANClIO DEL REY PARTNERSHIP - The tentative map for SPA III includes 405
acres located between "I-P Street and Telegraph Canyon Road and immediately west of Paseo Ladera. The
project includes lotring for 1,380 dwelling units, a 26+ acre Junior High School site, a 10.8 acre park, and

City Attorney Boogaard stated that Councilwoman Grasser Horton had stock investment in the parent
company of the joint venture partner on this item and was therefore advised that she should abstain from
participation and voting in order to avoid a conflict of interest,
Mary May from Lattleri/MeIntyre reviewed the tentative map, water conservation and air quality plan, and
design standards.
Betty Dehoney, P and D Technologies, reviewed the environmental report and related issues.
Ms. May stated that staff had received two written eornmunieations regarding this project. One was from
MeMillin Company discussing the water conservation plan, park and ride facilities, and the parkland
dedication calculations, Staff feels the wording reeornmended regarding the water conservation plan would
restrict the Couneil's options in adopting and implementing a local water off-set program and would
recommend no changes to the condition as it is currently worded, Staff will be bringing an interim water
off-set policy to the Interagency Water Task Force for review, Regarding the park and ride facility, staff feels
that it would be appropriate to consider the development of a master plan and financing of such plan,
Because there is no such plan in place at this time they felt the condition requiring a park and ride facility
would be appropriate, They would support the addition of language to Condition #56 which would state
*requirements of this condition may also be met by dedication, improvements, and/or financial par~eipation
in a park and ride farility at the sole discretion by the City Council, The Parks and Recreation Department
is currently reviewing the dedication calculations/population factor for senior housing projects and the
project would be subject to whatever parkland dedication requirements are in place when the project
develops, The second letter was received from Alan Olsen regarding the usage of a construction road near
his home, Staff has worked with the property owner and has drafted a condition which is included in the
draft tentative map resolution,
· City Manager Goss stated that the fire station and training tower was included in the fire master plan,
Previous information transmitted in the CIP budget was in error as it was his understanding that the
developer of the project would front the cost of the station and training classroom with the costs being
reimbursed by the development impact fees, He had now been informed by staff that their only commitment
was the development impact fee that would be required from this project for the fire station, which would
cover only half the cost of the fire station, He would prefer to have them front the cost of the project but
it is his traderstanding that they are not required to do so,
Mayor Nader questioned whether the condition could be amended to reflect the original understanding by
City Attorney Boogaard responded that there was a nexus problem with making it a condition on the
tentative map, He had been advised by staff that the CIP program would only relocate Fire Station No, 4
over further on *IF Street but that service levels were eurrently being met by the current station location,
There were suggestions that a sim~ar result could be achieved by revising the DIF to include an interest
component for that fire station reloeation and then offering in exchange for frontlng the money, an interest
value, There is also the possibility of changing the thresholds to state that a regional delivery of fire services
is a new threshold standard, It is ettrrently phrased in response times,
Mayor Nader questioned why the Fire Station was being reloeated if it was not needed to meet current
l~vels,
City Manager Goss responded that the new location would be necessary as staff was planning for the entire
community, Currently there is no difference in service level but there will be upon build. out, This is

normally negotiated in a development agreement but the developer had not expressed interest in a
development agreement at this tLrne.
Mayor Nader stated he tended to agree with stafi's recommendation regarding the water conservation plan.
He expressed concern that the City could adopt a plan and then have the water authorities adopt a plan in
conflict. He questioned whether an amendment could be made which stated that any City approved plan
the developer would be held to would not be in conflict with, or require, measures inconsistent with any
plan adopted by the water authority.
Robert Leiter, Director of Planning, responded that the intent was that the City would adopt an overall policy
that would take into account any regional program or additional requirements that the City may want to
impose. Staff would agree with his proposed clarffication,
Mayor Nader stated that after Rancho del Rey SPA I and lI had been approved, complaints had been received
from impacted property owners outside of the 300 foot legal noticing requirement. He noted that Council
had adopted a policy which called for expanded noticing when it would appear that property owners outside
of the legal requirement would be impacted.
Mr. Leiter responded that all projects were reviewed on a case by case basis and staff felt that the 300 foot
requirement had been a good distribution. Staff had mailed out over 500 notices to property owners.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open.
Ken Baumgarmer, 2727 Hoover Avenue, National City, CA, representing McMillin Communities, spoke in
support of the staff recommendations. McMfllin had notified over 1,200 people when SPA III had been
presented. Since that time two forums had also been held. Comments in the letter submitted to Council
regarding the water conservation plan were related to the Council's position at the last meeting. He would
defer to Council's decision on this issue and noted they were very supportive of the Interagency Water Task
Force, Their concern was over the interjurisdictional problem between water agencies. The park and ride
facility was also a concern due to the specfficity of Condition #56. The amendment proposed by staff does
not completely meet their concerns as the MTDB Transportation Plan lists several alternate sites. They were
concerned that the condition would not allow for the selection of the best site.
Mr. Leiter stated the amendment pinned the location down to that site or a site to be determined through
a master plan for eastern Chula Vista. Staff would support an additional phrase that would say 'the specific
site on the plan or another designated that would meet the approval of the City or this regional plan~.
Mr. Baumgartner responded that the amendment as clarified would be satisfactory. The concern over the
park dedication was regarding the factors that were used for population to determine acreage. The response
that the parks and Recreation Depax h~ent is reviewing that formula is a sufficient answer to their concern
at this time. The issue of the fire station came as a surprise as the Public Facilities Financing Plan clearly
spells out that they would pay the fees. MeM~lin has been discussing the potential of a development
agreement with the City and are interested in it at this time.
Coune~rnan Rindone requested elarLfication regarding the issue of parkland.
Mr. Leiter responded that the current parkland dedication ordinance does not differentiate senior housing
projects so the calculations done up to this point have been based on the current ordinance. If the Parks
and Recreation Deparnnent recommend changes in the ordinance, it would be applicable to this project.

Mayor Nader questioned whether McMillin would accept a new tentative map condition that would address
the issue of a development agreement.
Mr. Baumgartner responded that he could support that amendment in concept. It was his understanding
that the development agreement would only be related to the issue of the fire station.
'City Attorney Boogaard stated the consequence would be that no final map would be recorded until an
agreement was reached.
Mayor Nader stated he had been advised by the City Attorney that language should be added that would
include a waiver by the developer of any later claim that adoption of a water consention plan would not
:create an unlawful or unenforceable condition of the tentative map.
Mr. Baumgarmer responded that this had also been done for the transportation plen and a series of plans
that were under development at the time of previous approvals.
Mr. Leiter responded to Councilman Rindone's question regarding parkland. The City's parkland ordinance
had been amended after the specific plan was adopted which created a higher parkland requirement. The
originai master plan for the project contained sufficient parkland based on those standards. Af-ter mended
to a higher standard it resulted in a deficiency. Staff recommended a condition that would take care of this
:through a combination of fees or additional land dedication.
Councfiman Moore felt that information should have been presented to Council in print rather then verbaily
during the meeting. This was not the way the City should do business end he was disappointed in the
verbal presentations and conditions.
Mark Wanon, 10595 Jamacha Boulevard, Spring Valley, CA, supported the recommendation that the water
issues be referred back to the Interagency Water Task Force. The water problem was a regional problem
and he felt it should be dealt with on a regional basis. If a regional approach could not be agreed upon,
an equitable local program should be worked on involving the City and the water agencies serving the City.
Mayor Nader expressed his concern over the number of property owners that were notified of the public
hearing. He realized that the notices mailed complied with state law but did not feel it complied with
Council policy. He questioned the procedure that should be taken if Council chose to notify other property
owners of a public hearing. He commended the developer on the noticing efforts but felt the City had an
independent responsibility.
City Attorney Boogaard responded that the public hearing should remain open and then be continued to a
specific date. Public comment should be suspended in order to allow the Council discussion on this item.
Councilman Moore felt that a map should be included with projects which include tentative and alternate
routes, consnmction period, deliveries, and equipment.
Mayor Nader stated that due to the number of issues raised tonight and the noticing of property owners,
he would suggest that the public hearing be continued.
City Attorney Boogaard stated that on the tentative map resolution he recommended Condition 53.5 which
would state 'developer and city shall have entered into a reimbursemen~ agreement which addresses fronag
the entire costs of relocating Fire Station No. 4. Condition 71 should State, at the end of the first sentence,
*including the duty to pay the fee in effect at the time the building permits are issued*. Condition 77 should
:state *the developer shall agree to waive any claim that the adoption of a final water consezvation and/or

air quality plan shall constitute an improper subsequent imposition of a condition". The environmental
consultant had also reconunended a condition regarding the construction traffic and park and ride which
are contained in the tentative map resolution. An additional line should be added to Condition 56 which
would state 'the specific site shall be in the vicinity of the site indicated or an alternative site possibly off
the territory of the tentative map which meets with the approval of the City*.
MS (Moore/Nader) to approve the recornm,~lded anlevdmants to Conditions 53.5, 56, 71. and 77 as
presented by staff.
Mr. Baumgardner questioned the mount of the reimbursement agreement.
City Attorney Boogaard stated the developer would be credited with the difference between the DIF
contributions for that component and actual costs of construction. If the costs were $878,000 they would
pay DIF charges of $300,000 then they would front the difference and be reimbursed as new projects came
on line.
Mr. Buamgardner questioned Whether the interest component would be pan of the reimbursement
agreement. He also questioned whether there would be a priority regarding the reimbursement of DIF fees.
City Manager Goss responded that to his knowledge there were no other projects claiming fire DIF funds.
Mr. Baumgardner stated their concern was that additional fac~ities could be added above the requirement
of a standard fire station.
:.
City Attomey Boogaard responded that the reimbursement agreement would be based on 'fair share'.
Mr. Baumgardner felt comfortable with what was being proposed tonight and felt the specifics could be
worked out in the negotiations of the reimbursement agreement.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved 3410-2 with Couneihnetnbets Grasser Horton and Malcolm abstaining.
MOTION: (Nader) to continue the public hearing to the regular meeting of August 13, 1991 and direct staff
to renotice the hearing. The notice is to include all residents as notified by the developer. Motion died for
lack of second.
Councfimen Moore stated that the legal noticing was done, staff had reviewed this individual case and felt
the noticing requirement was sufficient, and the Planning Commission had also held a public hearing on
the project. He felt the system was followed even though it would have been preferable to expend the
noticing.
Councilman Rindone stated that a reasonable effort had been made by staff. The noticing did fulfill the legal
requirements. It was his reaction that because the Council had been proactive in requesting a previous delay
and no one was present to object, that Council should move forward with the project. He felt that a
forrealized policy should be brought forth regarding additional noticing requirements in order to resolve this
issue.

existing single-family dwelling at 1515 Hilltop Drive as a shelter for runaway and homeless youth between
the ages of 12 and 17 years. One of the conditions of approval called for a six-month review by Council.
The shelter did not open until late November 1990 so the six~month review has been delayed until this time.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution in order to provide for staff review and renewal in six months.
I ~',~ l
(DireCtor of Planning)
Ken Lee, Assistant Director of Planning, reviewed the conditions placed upon this project at time of initial
approval. Six letters were received regarding the shelter, four residents were not aware that the project was

in operation. The two others cited problems such as lack of supervision, noise and loitering. Staff at the
facility did acknowledge that there had been several problems in the beginning but that they had been taken
care of. In contacting the adjacent residents, staff had been informed that the problems had been addressed.
Staff recommended that Council extend the permit for six months (January 8, 1992), renewal be subject to
consideration by the Zoning Administrator, and noticing be reduced to 300 feet along with those submitting
letters or speaking before the Council. The decision of the Zoning Administrator could be appealed to the
City Council.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open.
Kathrlm Lembo, 315 4th Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, Director of Southbay Community Services, Administrator
for the Casa Nuestra Shelter, spoke in support of the staff recommendations.
Mayor Nader questioned what the time restrictions would be for outdoor exercising.
Ms. Lembo responded that students were not allowed on the equipment before school or after 9:00 p.m.
Maureen Whitehead, 1514 Jasper Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, stated that previous problems were being
addressed at this time. She had no slrong complaints and felt things were going quite smoothly.
Sharon Raymundo, 1604 Jade Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, stated that many of their initial concerns had been
addressed, The main concern was the staffing of the facility. She questioned who did the staff selection,
guarantee of a good future staff, and screening process regarding drugs, theft, and/or gang behavior.
Councilman Malcolm responded that Chief Winters was on the Board of Directors and had assured the
Council at the time the permit was issued that any problems would be swiftly dealt with.
Peggy Noble, 1584 Jade Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, questioned the screening, monitoring, training, and
.licensing of staff. Other concerns were visitation for children, counseling and whether it was mandatory,
and recreation.
Ms. Lumbo stated that staff is licensed by the State and required to meet certain educational guidelines and
a background check is run by the Department of Justice. Children stay for three months, four beds have
recen~y been extended to five months. She then reviewed the staff positions and counselors available.
There being no huther public testimony, the public hearing was declared dosed.

on the spread of assessments for the open space districts. The reports were accepted and the required public
hearing was set by Council at its meeting of 6/18/91. Staff recommends approval of the resolutions. If the
urgency ordinance is not approved, staff recommends that the resolution to levy assessments for Open Space
District Nos. 3, 7, 8, 20, and Bay Boulevard Landscaping District not be approved at this time. In such case,
staff will return to Council with the assessments lowered pursuant to the requirements of the current
Municipal Code.
John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, stated that four letters of protest were received. He then reviewed
why the City has districts, how they are formed, and the spread of assessments.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open.
John S. Orell, 684 Rainsong Drive, Chula Vista, CA, resident of Open Space District 18, spoke in opposition
of the staff recommendations and Resolution 16249. He felt the increase was excessive and that the public
deserved an explanation. He further expressed his concern over the landscape maintenance of the contracted
area.
George Sanchez, 552 Sunburst Lane, Chula Vista, CA, resident of Open Space District 18, spoke in opposition
of the staff recommendations and Resolution 16249. His property is on the corner of Foxboro and Sunburst
Lane which borders Gregg Rogers Park. There is open space next to his home which has not been
designated as open space (over 2,000 sq. ft.). He has maintained much of this himself but felt he would be
paying twice the mount for service he was not receiving. He also stated that the portion of open space
behind his home had not been maintained and expressed his concern that this was now a fire hazard. If
the City would deed this property to him he would then be responsible for its maintenance.
Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks and Recreation, responded that he was uncertain of the boundaries of his
property at this time.
Counc~man Malcolm requested an answer by next week.
Zen Parfish, 694 Rainbow Drive, Chula Vista, CA, resident of Open Space District 18, spoke in opposition
to the staff recommendations and Resolution 16249. He felt a 100% increase in the assessment was
excessive.
Douglas Adriance, 467 Oriole Ct., Chula Vista, CA, resident of Open Space District 7, spoke in opposition
to the staff recommendations and Resolution 16250. He stated that the eucalyptus trees were a mess to
those residents living on the edge of the district. He had contacted staff and offered to remove several of
the trees bordering his property and replant at his expense but staff was not receptive at that time. His brick
wall has been destroyed and he is now having to replace it with chain link. He also felt the budget was
ex'ffemely difficult to understand.
Counc~man Malcolm questioned why the Parks and Recreation Department would not be receptive to
replacing trees with trees that were currently on the list of acceptable landscaping.
/dr. Valenzuela responded that he was not aware of this offer but would be receptive to talking with Mr.
Adrlance.
Teresa Walker, 1188 Sundown Lane, Chula Vista, C_.% representing forty-five residents of Open Space District
18, spoke in opposition to the staff recommendations and Resolution 16249. They did not believe that the
1991-92 budget should be approved tonight as they felt the estimates were inaccurate and required further
investigation. They opposed the urgency ordinance to raise the reserve and formally announced their

dissatisfaction with the current holder of the landscaping comxact for their open space. A list has been
prepared of homeowners that would work with the City.
l~ob Arciaga, 4113 Sweetwater Road, Bonka, CA, representing RC's Landscape, responded that property
owners needed to notify him whenever an emergency arose. Areas were not receiving as much watering due
to the water cutbacks by the water districts. Whenever a routing schedule for maintenance is deviated from
it is often a result of water cutbacks.
Councilman Moore stated it was the contractor's obligation to notify the City if there were problems with
equipment in the various districts.
Counc~man Malcolm felt Council should move forward with the exception of District 18 with this being
brought back before Council on August 6th. This would give staff time to meet with the property owners
of that district regarding their concerns. He did not feel that the homeowners should have to pay for faulty
:equipment, the district should not have been accepted if equipment was faulty, and if it is, it should be
replaced.
Dan Soloman, 576 Sunburst Lane, Chula Vista, CA resident of District 18, stated that the property owners
in the district were not aware of an emergency number to call.
Mr. Valenzuela responded that the Parks and Recreation Department could be contacted during regular
business hours at 691-5151 or notify the dispatcher at the Police Department for emergencies.
Larry Lockree, 1164 Sundown Lane, Chula Vista, CA resident of District 18, questioned what districts would
be continued tonight. He requested clarification regarding the charges for an "adjacent meter' and the
number of homes being charged assessments.
Mayor Nader responded that District 18 would be continued.
L. J. Scott, 432 Windrose Lane, Chula Vista, CA, resident of District 11, questioned the increase in their
assessment and felt it unnecessary due to all the homes currently being consu'ucted.
Councilman Malcolm responded that the homes Mr. Scott referred to were not accepted into the district at
this time. He felt that when accepted, their assessment could possibly be lowered.
There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was declared dosed,

Mayor Nader questioned whether the City Attorney had reviewed any of the landscaping agreements for the
open space districts. If it was found that the work being received is deficient would there be legal remedies.
City Attorney Boogaard responded that he or his office routinely reviewed the contracts. There would be
legal remedies if it was found that work was not acceptable.

Coleen Scott, 4 East San Miguel Drive, Chula Vista, CA, representing the Cultural Arcs Commission, gave a
brief overview of proposed activities for the Cultural Arcs Faire. The Cultural Arts Commission was prepared
to work on this event and had received many often from volunteers but it was felt that professional help
would be needed for guidance.
Councilman Malcolm stated that the City faced cut backs from the State and questioned whether any other
fund raising had been conducted.
Mrs. Scott responded that fund raising would be under the direction of the consultant once hired.
Dency Souval, 698 Gilbert Place, Chula Vista, CA, representing the CulULral Arcs Commission, stated that the
consultant would also formulate the budget for the Faire. The Commission had been advised by the County
Arts Counc~ and the City of San Diego Cultural Arts Commission to hire a consultant.
Councilman Rindone agreed that the request was a nominal fee and there was a need for a commiuTient
from the Council. He hoped that the Council would look at all requests involving nominal fees as one
package or accept the recommendation of the City Manager which would be to add the request to the ~Wish
List' and delay funding until cuts from the State were known.
Councilman Moore stated this was a new commission and they were g~ven a difficult task to perform,
therefore he could support their request. He volunteered to forego the League Conference with monies
budgeted going toward their request.
RESOLLrrION 16251 Ol'k'hqED BY COUN~Z~/~aNI MALCOLM, reading of the text was waived.
Councilman Rindone questioned when the City Manager felt the ~Wish List' would be before Council for
review.
City Manager Goss hoped to bring it back to Council at the second meeting in August.
Councilman Rindone then questioned whether the maker of the motion would include $9,800 in funding
for the After School Program that was currently on the "Wish List". He was very supportive of the Cultural
Arts Commission and the After School Program.
Councilman Malcolm stated that staff had indicated that the needs of the children were being met at this
time. The After School Program would be a perpetual commitment and the request for the Faire would be
a one time request for funding. He felt the Council was responsible to the Commission for this one time
funding.
Councilman Rindone responded that he would support the motion because the August date supplied by the
City Manager was not that far away.
Mayor Nader stated that he was comfortable that the program proposed by the Commission would provide
involvement for youth and was worth a $4,000 expenditure.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved unanimously.

c. Referred to Item 9 on the Consent Agenda and questioned whether the contract with Ace Video
allowed for cumulative hours of service.
Jim Thomson, Deputy City Manager, responded that the additional service was for four hours of camera
operator time per month and up to 4 hours of video consultant services per month. This was over and above
'what was called for in the RFP for videotaping of Council meetings. Staff did strive to have this cumulative
'but the contractor was concerned that there would be an unfunded liability. The other concem was to
encourage the City to get more into videoing in other ways and felt this could be done on a monthly basis,
This was a trade-off during negotiations, but they did agree to carry over time if they were not available
when the City needed them, to a time agreeable by both parties.
Councfiman Rindone appreciated staffs position but expressed concern over using the four hours every
month. He would like to refer it back to staff to see if it could be on an annual basis. He felt this would
be a reasonable position or compromise.
