CONSENT CAI.RNDAR (Items pulled: 5a, 7 and 8) BALANCE OF CONSENT CAI.RNDAR OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, reading of the text wa~ waived passed and approved unanimously. S. WRrYrEN COMMUNICATIONS: a. Letter requesting endorsen~ent of the 'Forest Conservation Initiative*. Duncan McFetridge, Chairman, Save Our Forest and Ranchlands, Post Office Box 475, Descanso, CA 91916. It is recommended that this request be referred to staff for review. Pulled from Consent Calendar. Duncan McFetridge, 8966 Riverside Dr., Descanso, CA., chainnan of 'Save Our Forests and Ranchlands' stated that they were bringing before the people of San Diego County what they believed to be the most important land use decision to be made in the County in over one hundred years since the creation of the National forests. The reason that they were bringing the initiative forward was because they had discovered that they had no permanent open space protection for water shed, water life habitat, architectural areas and scenic. They were bringing before all the cities a request for endorsement of their initiative. They also researched large lot zoning to protect the resources he mentioned. Wildlife management officials, forest officials, park officials and scientists universally agreed that the conversion of the meadow lands to urban Minutes May 19, 1992 Page 2 uses would literally destroy the forest. It was their last remaining wildlife habitat. They had to have large lot zoning. Thus far the cities of Del Mar, Coronado, El Cajon and La Mesa had endorsed the initiative. The Union Tribune had endorsed their group in twelve editorials and had endorsed the initiative. Mayor Nader stated that staff had referred to potential implications for the City in requesting that it be referred back to staff. He noted that several other cities felt able to go ahead and make an endorsement. He wondered what potential negative implications for the City staff had in mind. John Goss, City Manager, responded that he had not read it that way. It had said '...the request appears to have a lot of merit but there was insufficient data to determine the ramifications upon the City.' Staff in his office looked over the letter, they attempted to talk to the Environmental Resource Manager to get some input but she was not available. Without having any further knowledge or research on it, they had to recommend a referral to staff for a report. Councilman Malcolm was not sure they were the ones to determine land use issues in an area that was forty miles away. The property was owned by private individuals. If they wanted to get serious about protecting the forest in that area then it was up to the tax payers to buy out those private individuals. He did not think the property should be bought by down zoning them so low that all economic use was taken from people that might have their life savings tied up there. He would support it if it would be to protect it and ask the citizens, state or federal government to acquire those areas that were held in private land ownership so that the entire area could be preserved, He thought that was a fair way to do it. Mayor Nader extended his personal endorsement to Mr. McFetridge. He thought that the people of San Diego County should be allowed to vote on the item. He said that an open space resource of that value that was within forty miles of the City was a resource for Chula Vista and for all the residents of the County. Councilman Moore stated he would have no problem with correspondence to the heads of congressional parties and a similar letter to the secretary of the appropriate cabinet, congressional parties and the governor. He did not want to see all of the forests disappear. He wondered how their effort would be received by those that made the policy. MSUC (Moore/Grasser Horton) for the staff recommendation. Mayor Nader stated that the item would be brought back and that staff would advise Mr. McFetridge of when it was hack on the agenda. b. Letter of resignarion from the International Friendsbdp Commission - Betty Hammock. It is recommended that Betty Hammock's resignation be accepted with regret and a letter of appreciation be sent. c. Letter of resignation from the Cultural Arts Coram~sion - Barbara McGovern. It is recommended that Barbara McGovern's resignation be accepted with regret and a letter of appreciation be sent. 6. RESOLUTION 16625 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF NOT TO EXt~_~_n $100,000,000 AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPIVIF. NT REVENUE BONDS OF THE (.;I-IY OF CHULA VISTA TO FINANCE COgIS OF CERTAIN GAS AND I~.I.I~L.-i lflC FACILITIES FOR SAN DIEGO GAS AND ~.I.F.t,'IKIC COMPANY; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF AN INDENTURE OF TRUST AND A LOAN AGI~ ~}~MENT PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE BOBS AND THE REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN OF THE PROC~I~nS THEREOF, RESPEL-rtVELY; AND lll~l ATED MA-I-It~S ., - On 3/24/92, Council approved a resolution declaring the City's intent to issue revenue bonds and make the proeeeds available to SDG&E for construction of electrical facilities. The resolution is the follow-up Minutes May 19, 1992 Page 3 authorizing the issuance and sale of $100 million of revenue bonds in order to finance certain gas and electric facilities for SDG&E. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Finance) 7. RESOLUTION 16626 APPROVING AMENDMENT TO THE BIENNIAL Rt_~MENT OF THE 1992/99 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (R. TIP) AND AU'I~OKIZING ITS SUBIvU-I-rAL TO THE SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GO~ (SANDAG) - On 8/6/91, Council held a public hearing on the 1992 Transnet Transportation Program Expenditure Plan and approved the resolution adopting the 1992 Seven Year Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). On 11/22/91, the SANDAG Board adopted the 1992/99 Regional Transportation Improvement Program including the Transnet Program of projects. The 1992/99 RTIP becomes effective 7/1/92. SANDAG will consider amendments to the Biennial Element of the RTIP on 6/26/92. The next major opportunity to amend the 1992/99 RTIP will be in June of 1993. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Public Works) Pulled from Consent Calendar. Mayor Nader asked if that was part of Proposition A and if the funds were restricted by law to automobile related transportation improvements. Cliff Swanson, City Engineer, responded affirmatively. Carolyn Butler, 97 Bishop St., Chula Vista, CA 91911, stated that it was her understanding that phase two for Chula Vista Transit was to begin that evening. Mayor Nader stated that was not on the agenda that evening. John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, stated the item was not on the ageride but believed phase two had been started. He would contact the Transit Coordinator and ask him to get in touch with Mrs. Buffer. Mayor Nader asked the City Manager to be sure that Mrs. Butler was notified as to when the item would be on the agenda. RESOLUTION 16626 Ob~'ERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, reading of the ten was waived, passed and approved unanimously. 8. RESOLUTION 16627 APPROPRIATING ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE JOGGING TRAIL BRID(~ REPLACEMENT PROJECT - On 2/11/92, Counc~ approved the appropriation $30,000 from the Golf Course Revenue Fund for two pedestrian bridges along the golf course jogging tra~ and also declared an emergency situation waiving the public bidding process. After the informal bidding process, it was determined that additional funds will be required. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Parks and Recreation) 4/5th's vote required. Pulled from Consant Calendar. Councilwoman Grasser Horton stated that her main concern was that the item had been before them the previous February and it had been noted that it was an emergency situation so the public bidding process was waived. Now it was close to the end of May and she saw the condition of the two bridges as a liab~ity to the City. She asked why it had not been brought to the Council sooner and why staff had not acted upon it. Jerry Foncerrada, Parks Superintendent, responded that staff had acted upon it right away. A bid packet had been prepared and sent to five local fabricators giving them ten days to respond. Only one of the five responded with a $94,000 bid. Staff then contacted a pro-lab bridge company and received quotes of Minutes May 19, 1992 Page 4 $17,000 plus for the two bridges. The company then submitted the spec calculations. Once the specs were approved by the Building and Housing Department, the company was then authorized to consU'uct the bridges which would take six to eight weeks. The bridges were due to be delivered the first part of June. He next had to contact someone to install the bridges and build the abutments. The abutments needed to be built before the bridges arrived. RESOLUTION 16627 OFF~qED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, reading of the text was waived, passed and approved unanimously. * * END OF CONSENT CALENDAR * * PUBLIC HEARINGS AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES 9.

RESOLUTION 16629 AMENDING THE FASTlAKE GRRRNS SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PlAN (PCM-92-03) 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. Councilman Moore asked if there was consideration for a sated community and if that would require privately maintained streets. Bob Leiter, Director of Planning, responded that, in practice, it would lead to that. He did not think the City would want to maintain streets behind a gate. It would be a policy issue but he thought that would be the conclusion. Mayor Nader thought that would require further action by Council. Mr. Leiter answered that was correct. A condominium or townhouse project would require further re- subdivision of the property and that tentative map would go before the Council and would be an issue Council would deal with at that time. ORDINANCE 2514 WAS PLACED ON FIRST READING AND RESOLUTIONS 16628 AND 16629 WERE O~-~-~IED BY MAYOR NADER, reading of the text was waived, passed and approved unanimoufiy.

Four hundred seventeen acres are within the Rural Fire Protection District and require detachment to avoid service duplication. The annexation will allow development of the project through provision of necessary municipal sen, ices from Chula Vista. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Planning) RESOLUTION 16630 APPROVING THE *SALT CREEK RANCH REORGANIZATION' TO THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA 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 16630 OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, reading of the text was waived, passed and approved unanimously. Minutes May 19, 1992 Page 6 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Steve McIntosh, 10601-A Tierra Santa Blvd., Ste. 330, San Diego, CA 92124, representing And Theft K-9 Services, stated they provided security dogs for businesses in Chula Vista and throughout San Diego County.

He wanted to find a way to get dogs that were not suitable for home environment and were being destroyed by Animal Control. He stated they provided liability insurance.

Mayor Nader asked that Mr. Mclntosh be given the name and telephone number of an appropriate contact on staff. ACTION ITEMS 12. ORDINANCE 2515 ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 2.15 TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO CONTAIN PROVISIONS GFAWALs~LY APPLICABLE TO ALL BOARDS, COrv~ffl'l'yb:l~_q, AND COMMISSIONS, AND TO RESTRICT CONSIDERATION BY THE CITY'S VARIOUS ADVISORY GROUPS OF ]VI/¥I'fI3.RS THAT DIRECTLY INVOLVE A DISPUTE BETWEEN AN ENTITY WITH WHICH THE CITY DOES BUSINF..SS AND AN ORGANIZRr~ BARGAINING UNIT OF THAT ENTITY (first readinK) At the 3/26/92, Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance which clarifies that no board, commission, or committee of the City shall become involved in personnel matters of entities with which the City conducts business, without first obtaining the advice and recommendation of the City Manager and the City Attorney, and then only with the consent of the Council. Staff recommends Council place ordinance on first reading and adoption. (City Attorney) Councilman Rindone suggested that the next to the last line be changed to read "..,advance advice and approval of the City Attorney..." on the policy statement. He was in favor of the policy statement, but not the ordinance. Bruce Boogaard, City Attorney, stated he would welcome the City Manager's advice to any Commission. He personally would not want any detailed authority over a Commission's ability to consider a subject matter. The Commission's advice to Council would not be binding on Council. The Council could reconsider their advice at that time. He recommended that the original policy statement remain "...only with the advance advice of the City Attorney and the City Manager." Councilman Malcolm asked if the ordinance would need to be amended if they wanted to prohibit a Board or Commission from getting involved in labor disputes without the approval of the Council and/or the City Attorney and the City Manager. City Attorney Boogaard answered yes. The ordinance did not say the Human Relations Commission could get involved in the labor disputes. It said that they could consider transit problems or problems with the transit system, but that did not mean they could not consider other problems. The policy would override and admonish all the Boards and Commissions that when a matter directly impacted a labor dispute they should think t%vice before getting involved, they should solicit the advice of the City Manager and the City Attorney, and then they should render full advice to the Council. That would give them the discretion as to when they should do so under that policy statement. Minutes May 19, 1992 Page 7 Councilman Moore stated that recommendations come from staff and Council provided approval. As policy makers, the Council should not allow a Board or Commission that was unprepared or ill-advised to be subjected to the repercussions of a law suit. MS (Rindone/Nader) to adopt the policy statement as drafted by the City Attorneys memo without any Councilman Malcolm felt that the approval of the City Attomey and the City Manager were necessary and that it undermined the City Manager's job and responsibilities if they let the Boards and Commissions get in the middle of labor disputes with people that directly had to report to the Gity Manager. He felt they needed to protect the integrity of the work environment. AMENDMF_/qT TO MOTION: (Malcolm/Rindone) that advance advice and approval be requital by beth the City Attorney and the City Manager and could be appealed by the City Council. City Attorney Boogaard said the statement did not deal with internal labor disputes. He had not thought the referral wanted staff to address that. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: approved 3-2 with Mayor Nader and Councilman Moore oppose& VOTE ON POLICY AS AMENDED: approved 4-1 with Mayor Nader opposed. 13. RESOLUTION 16598 AMENDING THE COUNCIL POLICY ON S~ SERVI(~ TO PROPERTY NOT WITHIN THE CITY BOUNDARY - Council Policy 570-02 was created to allow County residents near existing City sewers who were not contiguous to the City boundary, and thus not able to annex, to connect to City sewers. The policy states that any County resident wishing sewer service from a City sewer main must enter into an agreement with the City to not sign a written protest petition, or otherwise file a formal written or oral protest of annexation at the Conducting Authority level of annexation proceedings. In a previous action, a resident of El Rancho Vista that had requested annexation and sewer service was denied that service because the area opposed annexation. Staff has received several requests for sewer service ~'om county residents and, in light of the policy and past actions, believe that the policy needs to be reviewed. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Public Works) Continued from the 4/21/92 meeting. Cliff Swanson, City Engineer, presented the staff report. Michael J. Roark, 231 Fourth Ave., Chula Vista, CA, an attorney representing residents at 3645 and 3655 Proctor Valley Rd., Bonita, requested that the item be continued to allow more time to study what was being proposed and for receiving additional public testimony. Councilman Malcolm asked if the item was time sensitive. Mr. Swanson answered there were buyers wanting to close escrow but he did not know how time sensitive it was. Councilman Malcolm asked if staff knew what the cost of the court mandated upgrade was going to be to the citizens of Chula Vista at that time. John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, answered that Chula Vista's share of the court ordered mandate was probably going to cost in the range of $200 million and that included operations over the next ten years. Rates would be increased by 12% a year and would probably be up to $4,500 or $5,000 in ten years. Minutes May 19, 1992 Page 8 Councilman Malcolm stated that was about $4,000 per home and yet the policy before them wanted non- Chula Vistans to be able to annex for a fee equal to $2,200. He thought the sewage fee should be raised to keep it more in line. He could not support it because he thought the fee was too low. Councilman Moore did not see any reason to rush into the amendment of the policy. MSC (Malcolm/Rindone) to refer back to staff for two weeks to address concerns raised by Council. Approved 4-0-0-1 with Councilwoman Grasser Hotton abstaining due to a poss~le conflict of interest 14.A. RESOLI3TION 16631 APPROVING THE 1992/93 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) BUDGET AND AUTHORIZING THE TRANSMI'ITAL OF THE CDBG APPLICATION, FINAL STATEMENT, AND CERTIFICATIONS TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT - The City of Chula Vista will receive $1,380,000 in CDBG entitlement funds and anticipates receiving CDBG program income of about $181,000 from the Housing Rehabilitation revolving fund. Staff recommends approval of the resolutions. (Director of Community Development) Continued from the 5/5/92 meeting. 4/5th's vote required. B. RESOLUTION 16632 APPROVING REALLOCATION OF $7;150 OF COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMF_.h'T BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS FROM VARIOUS COMPLETED PROJECTS TO THE WOODLAWN PARK COMMUNITY CEN'rER AND REQUESTING THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO TRANSFER SAID FUNDS Councilman Rindone stated he would abstain from participation and voting. Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, presented the staff report. Mayor Nader stated that forced air, air conditioning systems were notorious for making people sick and wasting energy. He asked if any work had been done on looking at an alternative, more modern system. David Harris, Community Development Specialist, stated that he had spoken with Gregg Hanson, Bu~ding Services Superintendent, who did the study on the HVAC system and they had done extensive study to ensure that it would be the most energy efficient system. They had also compared it to the thermal storage type system and based on the cost of electricity, etc. they determined that system would be the best system for the City. Mayor Nader had asked staff to contact an outside expert assuming that he would give some preliminary answer without cost to the City. He asked ff that had been done. City Manager Goss responded that Mr. Hanson had been in contact with people the Mayor talked about but did not know if they had concurred with the Mayor's opinion. Mayor Nader asked if the budget could be approved and reserve the precise form of the air conditioning system to another time or if staff could simply advise him. City Manager Goss answered yes that staff could do that and that it would be coming up on Thursday when the CIP budget was presented to Council. Mayor Nader asked if the proposed budget was adopted that night which specified a particular type of air conditioning system in the main librat7 if they would be bound to spend the money on that particular type of system or could they spend the same amount on any type of air conditioning system that staff might later deem appropriate. Minutes May 19, 1992 Page 9 Mr. Salomone responded that generally in CDBG programs there were a lot of detafis of the funding that were worked out later. He said that there would be reciprocal agreements returned on the school items and changes in the capital items. Those would be approved at a later time so certainly what the Mayor was requesting was well within their authority, there would be no programmaffc reason to include that in any motion and Council would retain the laffrude. Nora Sears, 1142 Nolan Ave., Chula Vista, CA., representing Jobs for Youth, thanked the Council for their support. Carolyn Buffer, 97 Bishop St., Chula Vista, CA. 91911, a member of a the Community Service Center for the Disabled in San Diego, spoke in favor of the staff recommendation. Councilman Malcolm stated his disappointment in the recent rap concert that the Boys and Girls Club had. Scott Mosher, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club, stated he had spoken to staff and other concerned groups about how the older teen population was one that was drastically under served in the community and one that was as vitally important as all of the other age groups. The Club was trying to find creative ways to better serve the older teens and the concert had been an attempt to do that. Mayor Nader commended staff for formulating their recommendations, noting that it had been a difficult job. Councilman Moore had a concern about allocating funds for playgrounds unless there was a definite asset to the after school recreation program between the schools and the City. Mr. Salomone stated the School District had requested $25,000 per site to provide equipment. They would return with that description as a reciprocal agreement. Jess Valenzuala, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that one of the conversations he had the previous week with the staff of Community Development was to look at the two requests and to see how that equipment would benefit the City's programs and also to formulate a joint use agreement on the use of that equipment. One of the concerns he had was access to the equipment on occasion in certain playground areas fenced off from the general public. He felt public access was important if the City was going to fund those programs for the general public as well as benefiting the after school recreation programs. Councilman Malcolm understood that the City was developing a policy with the School Diswict to have joint use and that it would be brought back in between the time of funding. Mr. Salomone responded that was correct and staff had provided a sample of a joint use agreement for Council to review. Councilman Moore asked how the South Bay Community Services program had been funded the previous year. Mr. Harris responded that the program had been funded with $48,000 the previous year. It had been a match allocation in which they had to raise $48,000 from the community during the year which they accomplished. Staff was proposing to fund them at the same level and to also require that they continue to get at least half of their support from the community. Councilman Moore asked if the money the City provided was matched and if that was put into some type of housing program. Mr. Harris answered that was correct. South Bay Community Services was working on several housing projects. The primary ones involved preservation, working with the City on the preservation of the federally Minutes May 19, 1992 Page 10 subsidized low income apartment units for different projects and also with a proposed transitional and very low income housing project. Councilman Moore had a problem with funding something that was duplicating what was suppose to be done within the City. He understood they had received a grant and most of that was for a staff member. Mr. Harris responded that the $48,ooo that the city provided to South Bay Community Services was used to hire a qualified community development coordinator with experience in housing development to take on the responsibilities of organizing the community development effort. He said the additional funds that they raised were used for pre-development activities which included environmental review, site con~ol design, etc. Mr. Salomone stated that one of the reasons they funded that entity in that capacity was because they functioned as a local non-profit. The housing element and the CHAS just adopted addressed that as a goal of the housing element to work with local non-profits. That local non-profit had access to funding sources other than those that the City could get and staff saw them as able to do activities and attract funding sources in addition to what staff could do. Councilman Moore asked ifWoodlawn Park Community Center Rehab had only asked for $7,280 and if there was another program for Woodlawn that was reduced. He asked if staff could tell him what the $29,SS0 reduced to $20,000 on page 14-3, third from the bottom, was. Mr. Harris responded that the funds were for the operation of Woodlawn Park Community Center. The insurance for the Center was $9,000 per year, including their coverage for car and property. The other $11,000, plus about $1S,000 that they were able to raise through fundraisers was used to fund activities at the Center. That was their operational costs and the other allocation was to replace the roof which was leaking. Councilman Moore asked if the Salvation Army Senior Nutrition Program was not being provided anything and if the rational was that they could find money from another source. Mr. Harris responded that was correct. Councilman Moore stated that the Boys 8, Girls Club requested $17,000 plus and it was reduced to $9,000 and asked what that program was. Mr. Salomone answered that it was the Teen Outreach Program. Councilman Malcolm thought Council should go with the Boards and Commissions' recommendations and the staff recommendation before them. He stated that the previous week he had called the City Managez~s office and the Director of Parks and Recreation and told them about an opportunity to have the Police Olympics compete in basketball in Chula Vista. The City of Chula Vista was the present gold medalist. Staff quickly responded and made the gym available for police officers from all over the State of California to compete in Chula Vista. His n'ade off with the police officers was that they would help advertize and help work with children if the City could get the children there. He thought it was very important to bring children in to let them watch some great basketball players that were good people, that were not beating people up with billy sticks on streets and kieklng them, but were real human beings and to let the children obtain a relationship to see what police were all about. That was something the Director of Parks and Recreation was going to promote. RESOLUTIONS 16631 AND 16632 OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, reading of the text was waived, passed and approved 4-0-0-1 with Councilman Rindone abstaining.
