reallocation of funds in the board/commission budget. He had voted for the travel budgets because he had
been advised that it was a necessary expenditure. He felt the commission members should pay for their own
cards.
Councilwoman Grasser Horton suggested that each request from a board/commission be reviewed
individually.
Councilmen Moore felt the existing generic cards were sufficient and felt the system was set-up to utilize
either a business card or ID card but not both.

require that the cards be paid for out of the r.~me budget line item unliTed for current cards or out-of-pocket;

were not utilized by Council or staff. He expressed concern over the ability for abuse of such a card.
Councilwoman Grassar Horton agreed with Councilman Malcolm and did not feel there was a need for
picture ID cards.
AMENDMENT TO MOTION: (Nader/lVlaicoim) to delete the report back to Council regarding the advisability
of ID card~ f~om the rabstitute motion, Approved 3-0-1-1 with CounHlm~n Moore voting no and

meeting. He questioned why Sunbow was included in the EastLake Greens open space district and felt that

year.

Diego Gas and Electric Company has requested that the City grant a deferral of the undergrounding
requirements imposed on the Toys R Us project on Thirtieth Street. The request was made because the

feel that there is a high chance that the conduit would wash out if it were to be placed underground.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
a. Joseph Garcia, 484 5th Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, expressed his concern over the number of
consultants being utilized by the City. He further questioned expenditures for police reserves for the Fourth
of July activities.
Assistant City Manager Morris responded that sufficient reserves were not available and therefore police
officers were utilized and paid overtime. The event has become an all day activity. The report on
consultants, requested by Councilmembers Rindone and Grasser Horton, will be presented at the 8/13/91
Council meeting.
Chief Winters stated that the actual expenditures for personnel for the Fourth of July was in excess of
$9,000. The budgeted amount of $6,000 was only an estimate.
Councilman Moore felt that the City had received bad publicity regarding the use of consultants. He felt
that the franchises, i.e. sweet sweeping, managing the golf come, wee trimming, attorney fees, etc., were
services that could be done more economically by an outside company rather than the City. There are areas
where duplication does occur but this is done during peak periods. If additional employees were hired, there
would be lay-offs during the slack periods.
Counc~man Malcolm informed Mr, Garcia that all contracts were being scrutinized by the Council through
this process. He invited Mr. Garcia to submit his concerns, in letter form, to staff for indusinn in the report.
City Attorney Boogaard cautioned Council regarding deliberation of a non-agendized item.
Mr. Garcia further questioned the 1989-90 consultant contract for Stephen A. Malcum for $6,000. He
questioned how anyone on the Board of Directors for Chula Vista Investors could be hired as a consultant
for the City.
Councilman Malcolm requested that Mr. Garcia present this information to staff for review.
Assistant City Manager Morris informed Council that the report coming before Council deals only with
current consulting contracts. The contract referred to by Mr. Garcia may not be included in the report if
it is not current.
b. Teresa Walker, 1188 Sundown Lane, Chula Vista, CA. regarding Item 12, stated that the local
residents were very pleased with the work conducted by City staff, the results of the investigation, and the
new budget. They conended staff members Jess Valenzuela, Joel Chew, Donna Snider, and David Defacci
for their professionalism and courtesy regarding this matter.
c. Irving Patton, 4300 Otay Valley Road, Chula Vista, CA, representing the 7-11 Convenience Store,
stated they had been under a siege of gang activity for the last three weeks and are having a problem with
the response from 911. A clerk was hospitalized due to a gang related confrontation. He had talked with
the police department and has a scheduled meeting with the Chief on August 15th. He was under the
impression that no action was being taken against the perpetrator. /~3

Chief Winters responded that there has been a problem in the past with the individual involved. Police were
called during the altercation and responded in 2 1/2 minutes. When the police arrived two clerks and the
.perpetrator were injured.
Mayor Nader feJt it was clear that there was probable cause and questioned what action was being taken.
Chief Winters responded that he had not received all the information and therefore was unaware of what
was being done.
Councilman Moore stated that he had been contacted approximately 2-3 weeks ago regarding this problem.
He questioned whether there was any history on this individual
Chief Winters responded that he had only been made aware of this situation and therefore did not have all
the information available. Staff had meet with representatives of 7-11 regarding the situation in general,
not this specffic store. The first question is why wasn't he arrested last night, if not, then why shouldn't they
now arrest him.
Councilman Malcolm expressed concern over the response from 911 and hoped that in the future the
dispatchers would note that this is a problem area. He was confident that the Chief would take care of this
as the Council expected it to be done.
Chief Winters stated that from the reports, response time was very good. Staff has the abfiity to go back
and listen to the tapes, but according to the staff at the 7-11, only one call was placed. The RFP for a
computer aided system for dispatch is on the agenda tonight. If approved, this system will designate trouble
areas within the City.
Mayor Nader stated that if there is a situation where someone is known to be a leader of criminal activity,
he would make the views of the City known to the probation office and judges when appropriate.
18. RESOLUTION 16289 APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH SCI-IEMA SY~-t,~J~IS TO DEVELOP A

dosing resolutions for the EastLake Greens Phase I assessment disU~ict proceedings. They approve certain
bond-related documents and award the bond sale to the lowest bidder. They also approve the Security
Enhancement Agreement which provides a safety factor for assessed parcels whose wflue-to-assessment ratio
is less than three to one. Staff recommends approval of the resolutions. (Director of Public Works and
Director of Finance)
Councilwoman Grasser Horton stated she would abstain from participation and voting on this item as her
husbands law finn represents EastLake.
Councilman Malcolm stated that in the past a developer put in the infrastructure and paid the school fees
upfront. The owner would then move in and just pay their property taxes. Now, the developers want to
defer some of the costs or create additional cash upfront, roads are built with bonds, schools are built with
Meilo Roos (bonds), assessment districts are established for maintenance (bonds), along with homeowners
groups (new taxes). People buying in the new areas are being heavily taxed and he felt that the City should
put a stop to it. If it meant no new development, it would mean no new development. He did not feel that
the City could allow the developers to add on these assessment districts and that everything should be paid
up front. He felt a Council meeting/worksession should be held to discuss the City's bonded indebtedness.
He questioned whether there should be an issuance fee charged.
Lyman Christopher, Director of Finance, responded that the City implemented an issuance fee approximatdy
one year ago which is set at 1% for assessment districts. The City does not bear any cost for issuance of
bonds and also receives a 1% issuance fee which is approximately $220,000.
Councilman Malcolm stated that this information should have been included in the staff report. He noted
that the second and third bids and prices were not included in the report and requested that such
information be included in the future.
