Page 2
PERMITS FOR CONSTRUCTION 1N THE TRI.RGRAPH CANYON SE1tVER BASIN fseeond readin~ and
adoption) - In compliance with the Telegraph Canyon Sewer Basin Monitoring and Gravity Basin Usage
Agreement between the City and EastLake Development, the City entered into a contract with Willdan
Associates for preparation of the Telegraph Canyon Sewer Basin Improvement and Financing Plan. This plan
and a subsequent addendum provide recommendations for sewer system improvements needed to
accommodate ultimate wastewater flows in the basin and proposes a fee of $184 per Equivalent Dwelling
Unit (EDU) to finance the construction of these improvements. This is a one time fee paid when building
permits are taken out and is not an ongoing fee. Staff recommends Council place the ordinance on second
reading and adoption. (Director of Public Works)
7. RESOLUTION 16861 APPROVING A LEASE AGI~RPMENT WITH THE CHULA VISTA AMERICAN
LEGION POST NUMBER 434 INC., AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME - At the meeting
of 11/3/92, Council, in reviewing the Agenda Report and Lease of the aforereferenced item, directed certain
changes to the lease, the most significant of which is to provide that the City dedicate the proceeds of any
insurance policy paid for by the Legion to fred alternate housing for the Legion if the building which is the
subject matter of the lease is destroyed (i.e., loss of greater than 50% of replacement value). Staff
recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Parks & Recreation) Continued from the meeting of
11/8/92.
Councilman Malcolm stated that there were no clearly stated remedies in the lease if the Legion failed to
invest the $100,000. He felt everyone should have an understanding of what the remedies would be if the
invesnnent was not made, and spelled out in the lease. He would prefer two S-year options rather than one
10-year option. The five year options would give the City more flexibility if the property was needed in the
future for park expansion. He questioned whether toxics would be utilized on the property as it was not
indicated in the lease. Page 1, Condition 3, stated the investTnent would be 'no more' than $100,000 and
he felt it was misleading, it was the Council's intent that the American Legion should invest "at least'
$100,0OO. It was his interpretation of the lease that the City could only remove the Legion at the end of
the lO-year lease or the lO-year option.
City Attorney Boogaard recommended default of the lease and eviction if the Legion failed to invest the
$100,000. He referred to Exhibit C which listed the improvements to be made but only to the extent of
$100,000. He disagreed with that interpretation of the language and felt the City had the right to terminate
the lease with the Legion any time after the first ten years.
Robert L. McCauley, representing the American Legion, stated they had initially wanted a 25 year lease but
had agreed to a 10-year lease with a 10-year option. They felt they had to have the 20 years for their
$100,000 investment. It was his understanding that the City could terminate the lease only after the initial
10-year period or after the 10-year option.
Mayor Nader stated it was his understanding that it was a lO-year lease with a lO-year option also.
City Attorney Boogaard stated that if Council wanted two lO-year terms the lease would have to be revised.
Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks and Recreation, supported Mr. McCauley and stated it was also his
understanding during negotiations that the lease was a lO-year term with a 10-year option.
City Attorney Boogaard recommended that the language be changed to state *if during the tenth year the
landlord determines that the pr,.rni~es are needed....'.
Mayor Nader stated that was the Councirs intent ff not their unanimous desire and suggested that the
clarification recommended by the City Attorney be incorporated.
RESOLUTION 16861, AS AMENDED BY THE CiTY ATFORNEY, Ot"l'/flhn~D BY COUNCiLMAN RINDONE,
reading of the text was waived.

U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has received bids for the improvement of the Levy Road (access to the Nature
Interpretive Center). Included in the bid is an optional item for the construction of a sewer line, cleanouts,
and items requested by the City to prepare the road to accommodate a filmre sewer utility. Staff
recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Community Development)
Councilman Malcolm requested that staff include the names of bidden and amounts of bids in the staff
report.

complete the work efficiently and safely, the contractor is requesting that portions of 'G" Street between
Fourth Avenue and Broadway be closed for several hours each day. Staff recommends approval of the
resolution. (Director of Public Works) Pulled from the Consent Calendar.
Councilman Rindone questioned whether staff knew there would be closures when the low bid was accepted.
Clifford Swanson, City Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director, responded that the proposal for the closure
was presented after the bid was awarded.
Minutes
November 10, 1992
Page 4
Councilman Malcolm was concerned that the construction company would be saving money but the
taxpayers would still be paying the same amount. He did not feel the sweet should be closed during the
morning rush hour and should also be open shortly before the schools dismissed. The closure of sweets
should be included in all future bids.
Councilman Moore expressed concern that what was being done was to the benefit of the contractor. Action
taken should be in the best interest of the City and he questioned why it had not been included in the bid.
MS {Rindone/Moore) to approve Resolution 16884 with the exception that the portion of G Street between
5th and Broadway would have a m~xqmum of six honPs closure during the day thus allowing the egress to
and exiting from the elementary school facing G Sneer.
Mr. Swanson stated the contractor had indicated that for the block of G Street between 5th and Broadway
he could allow eastbound traffic at all times and westbound traffic would be detoured to adjacent
Under that scenario there would be access to the school.
MOTION WITHDRAWN: {Rindone)
RESOLUTION 16884 OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MOORE, reading of the text was waived.
MSUC (Rindone/Moore) to support the closure except between Sth and Broadway which would be restricted

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND I~F.I.&TE, D RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
14. PUBLIC HF. ARING PROPOSED RATE INCREASE FOR HARTSON MEDICAL SERVICES FOR
EMERGF. NCY PARAMEDIC SERVICES - On 5/9/89, Council approved an agreement with Hartson Medical
Service to provide basic (BLS) and advanced (ALS) life support/ambulance services with Chula Vista. The
agreement requires Hartson to respond to 90% of all ALS calls within 10 minutes and 90% of all BLS calls
within 30 minutes. Hartson has consisten~y met these threshold standards during the past twelve months.
Pursuant to the agreement, Hartson has proposed to increase their fees by an average of 5.2% effective
11/1/92. (Fire Chief) Continued from the meeting of 10/20/92.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open.
Tom Morgan, 9573 Chesapeake Drive, San Diego, CA, representing Hartson Medical Service, urged Council
to approve the 5.17% rate increase. He then reviewed significant increases in their operating expenses.
Minutes
November 10, 1992
Page 5
Mayor Nader questioned how long it would take Hartson's to compile additional information.
Mr. Morgan responded that they were currently compiling a report for the City of San Diego and felt it
would be ready in approximately one month.
Sam Lopez, Fire Chief, informed Council it would take approximately two weeks for staff to review the
materials.
Councilman Malcolm noted that the raise would only affect 39.4% of the patients and of that only 50% paid
their bill and would have no affect on the Medicare or Medicaid patients.
Carolyn Butler, 97 Bishop Street, Chula Vista, CA, spoke against the increase and recommended that the
request be reviewed during better economic times.
There being no further public testimony, the public heating was declared closed.
MS {Nader/Rindone) to continue the public hearing to the meeting of 1/5/93 to allow Hartson's to furnish
further information for Council review.
Councilman Malcolm stated that Hartson's had been a tremendous neighbor and consistently met their
contractual obligations over the last twelve months. He did not necessarily want the lowest bidder but the
best provider for the city.
Mayor Nader stated the reason for the motion was not to look at going to a low bidder but to allow
Hartson's time to bring back supporting documentation justifying their request for a rate increase.
Councilman Rindone stated that was also his intent in seconding the motion. He felt Council should make
the appropriate decision once all facts were presented.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved unanimously.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Bill Ayers, 44 E. Mankato, Chula Vista, CA, representing the American Legion, stated he was happy the lease
with the American Legion had been resalved. He invited Council to attend the memorial service for the
Chula Vista Veterans Council and American Legion at the Park View Bowl.
BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
None submitted.
ACTION ITEMS
15. RF,?~)LUTION 16886 APPROVING ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO ASSF_,SSMENTS IN
CONJUNCTION WITH ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 90-2 (OTAYVALLEYROAD) - On 6/23/92, Council
confirmed the assessments for Assessment District Number 90-2, Otay Valley Road. Council directed staff
to reconsider certain property owner requests for additional credit for slopes and constructed improvements.
Minutes
November 10, 1992
Page 6
These requests were reviewed and brought to Council on 7/21/92. This item is a follow-up to that report.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Public Works)
John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, requested that Mr. Palumbo's request be removed from the agenda
in order to allow more time to meet with SDG&E and the client.
RESOLUTION 16886, AS AMENDED (ALTRRNATR A), OFIrr.~RF~ BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, reading of
the text was waived.
Robert Brady, 1360 South Magnolia Avenue, El Cajon, CA, property owner of 505 Otay Valley Road, spoke
in opposition of the staff recommendation. He disagreed with the denial by staff of an adjustment of 20%
due to a "small" job which mounted to $6,662.31. His costs were in a lump sum for development of the
property and, therefore, he had no individual invoices to submit.
Mr. Lippitt responded that staff was trying to be consistent in their recommendation as they had done with
other properW owners. The idea of giving credits wasn't to cover their entire costs but that they wouldn't
be assessed twice for the same thing.
VOTI~ Ohl MOTION: approved unanimously.
Mayor Nader stated that he had to defer to the recommendation of staff. He noted that the scope of work
to be done in the assessment district should be done with some consultation with the properW owners being
assessed.
16. REPORT SUPPLENIENTALRRPORTTOP, F~SOLIYHONAMENDINGTHI~FISCALYEAR
1992-93 BUDGET - This report is supplemental to the report and resolution recommending the amendment
of the Fiscal Year 1992-93 Budget to propose certain cuts. The primary report indicates that the City
Attomey's office will be preparing a response to the Council on the issue of the entire staffing needs for the
Attorney's office and to come back with a recommendation. Staff recommends acceptance of the report.
(City Attorney)
City Manager Goss reviewed the past staff recommendations.
Billy Cox, 276 4th Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, representing the Chula Vista Palice Officer's Association, spoke
against the staff recommendation. He expressed the Association's concems regarding the freezing of Police
Department overtime. He requested that Council reject the staff recommendation and leave the overtime
intact and at the discretion of the Chief of Police.
William J. Alexander, 773 Brookstone Road, #304, Chula Vista, CA, representing the Chula Vista Library
Board of Trustees, spoke in opposition to the staff recommendation. The Library Board had abided with the
first round of budget cuts. The second round of budget cuts would result in a loss $24,000 in books and
materials. Council had stated that there would not be service reductions but with the proposed cuts,
approximately 20,000 annual users would not be served.
Councilman Moore stated that he respected any individual coming forth and speaking for their department
but they were speaking on specifics and not the budget as a whole. What would have to be decided were
the priorities of funding. He felt that Council should also reduce their budget by 2%.
Mayor Nader stated it was his understanding that the 2% budget cuts were from contingencies. He
questioned whether the City implemented a 2% cut across the board.
Minutes
November 10, 1992
Page 7
City Manager Goss responded that the 2% cuts were pretty much across the board. The Parks and
Recreation Department was below the 2% and the City Attorney's Office was above the 2%. The $164,000
in Police Department overtime would be frozen with the understanding that it could be utilized if necessary.
The goal was to have better management of the overtime of the department.
Mayor Nader noted that one of the recommendations by Council at the 9/8/92 meeting was a voluntary four
day work week for employees and questioned the status of that item.
Candy Boshell, Director of Personnel, informed Council that staff had been meeting with the various
employee organizations regarding their concerns. There were also a number of legal concerns that had to
be addressed. A draft policy was prepared which staff felt satisfied all of the concerns.
Councilwoman Horton questioned what the reduction would be to the budget if the Mayor/Council vehicle
was turned in.
City Manager Goss stated the City was self insured and therefore the cost savings for insurance would be
minimal. The tnle savings would be on the maintenance costs and the equipment replacement monies. The
$2,300 replacement cost did not deal with O&M budget but revenues could be obtained if the vehicle was
auctioned.
Mayor Nader noted that those costs would have to be compared to possible reimbursement costs before the
impact could be determined.
Councilman Rindone stated he had raised the question of usage of City vehicles and felt it was conspicuously
absent from the report. He felt it could possibly have an impact upon the budget.
Mayor Nader stated that if the City vehicle policy was going to be discussed he would not be able to
participate upon advice from the City Attorney. He suggested that it be a separate discussion in terms of
the specific issue and agreed that the time taken to bring it back was too long. He stated that also included
in the motion on 9/8/92 was to have the City hold off on further expenditures on the animal shelter
relocation.
Councilwoman Horton stated that her request on 9/8/92 was for a report on the cost savings of a joint use
facility with the County animal shelter.
Mayor Nader stated that another recommendation at the 9/8/92 meeting was stepped up enforcement of
expired auto registration.
Rick Emerson, Chief of Police, informed Council that his staff was looking at that recommendation along
with the animal shelter. He hoped that report would be ready in approximately one week.
Councilman Rindone stated he was concerned with the perceived reduction of Police Department overtime.
The first priority of the Council was public safety. He was not convinced the overtime was a reduction as
the recommendation was to encumber and freeze the funds. In reality the funds could be utilized, therefore,
it was not realistic to say it was a reduction. He did not see it as a reduction and questioned what staff
would offer as an alternative.
City Manager Goss responded that the only alternative would be to look at other depat ux~ental budgets for
the $164,000. Staff was trying to prepare for next year so there would be time during the budget process
to review the expenditure patterns.
Minutes
November 10, 1992
Page 8
Councilman Rindone expressed concern over the perception of cutting the graffiti supplies. At the very least
he would support encumbering the funds and freezing them. He was pleased that staff had been so
proactive in getting donations for the program but if additional funds were needed they should be there.
Councilwoman Horton stated the reason the budget was proposed to be cut was because $16,000 had been
budgeted and $3,500 had been spent. She felt that $5,000 was realistic. She had found it very easy to get
volunteers and paint donated. She thanked Frazee Industries for donating 110 gallons of paint to cover
fences.
Mayor Nader stated he had serious concerns with the freezing of the Police Department overtime. If the
Chief was actually able to save the $164,000 he would rather see it put back into the department, i.e. hiring
of additional police officers or expanding current programs. He didn't feel the City was suffering from a
shortfall of administrative services or departments that dealt with land use processing. He also did not feel
every employee needed to work fiye days a week and management salaries, not unrepresented salaries, could
be frozen. Public safety was the most important single service the City provided. He stated the City Attorney
now had a higher case load than ever before and that it was not a department that the City could afford to
cut as long as there were other areas for potential cuts. The City should move quickly to implement the
voluntary cut back that would save money for the City.
MOTION: (Nader) to implement the recommended staff cuts on graffiti supplies and freeze and encumber,
not cut, the funds recommended by staff for library materials and refer the balance to staff to bring back
a report regarding potential savings of consolidation with the County on the animal shdter, potential
revenue enhancement for stepped up enforcement of unregistered vehicles, potential cuts in adrninislration
and land use departments, and voluntary four day work week. Motion died for lack of second.
Councilman Moore questioned the intent of the administrative and land use depa~ h**ent cuts.
Mayor Nader stated the budget for the land use processing departments continued to go up when
construction was down. He did not feet that there was a need to have increases or existing levels when the
work load was down. There should be a combination of duties in departments which would assist in the
streamlining of permits, save duplication of efforts, time savings, and cost savings. He would like a report
back to Council. He was not proposing layoffs but savings due to attrition.
MS (Moore/Malcolm) to accept the staff recommendations with the exception of the City Attorney and City
Council budgets.
StJI~'II'I'UTE MOTION: (Rindone/Nader) to accept the staff recommendations with the exception of the City
Attorney, City Counc~, and Police Department.
Councilman Malcolm stated the Chief of Police figured the depanraent could save an amount in excess of
$164,000 due to reorganization of the department. He did not want the Council to state "go spend money".
If additional monies were to be expended he wanted to know the where, when, and what of the programs.
VOTE ON SUBSTITLrFE MOTION: apprnved 3-2 with Malcolm and Moore opposed.
MSUC (Moore/Malcolm) to reduce the City Council's budget by approximately 2% with the cuts being left
to the Mayor's disa'etion.
MSUC (Malcolm/Nader) to not cut the City Attorney's budget.
City Attorney Boogaard stated he would bring back a confirming resolution for Council approval.

approved a recommendation to implement city-wide cuts of $755,505. During the discussion, Council

FURNITURE AND FIJRNISHINGS, TO IMPLEMF24T SAME - Due to the press of business in the City Attorney's
office, Council authorized a deputy city attorney position at the time of adoption of this year's budget. At
the ~ime, the issue of secretarial support for the new position was deferred until the approval of the
Redevelopment Agency's budget, and it was understood that it would be necessary to provide a place to
house the attorney and secretarial positions selected to fill the new positions. Staff recommends approval
of the resolution. (City Attorney) 4/Sth's vote required.
City Attorney Boogaard informed Council that Councilman Malcolm had submitted a new architectural
drawing for his office and recommended it be attached to the Resolution as Exhibit A.
Councilman Malcolm felt the redesign was appropriate and more in focus with the economic times. He
stated the City Attorney and City Manager supported the redesign. He reviewed the changes and stated that
it was his understanding that the plan would have to be reviewed by staff and the Design Review
Committee.
City Manager Goss stated the redesign was in compliance with the overall plan and would have to be
reviewed by staff and the Design Review Committee.
RESOLUTION 16888 OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN MALCOLM, reading of the text was waived, passed and

c. Mayor Nader congratulated Councilwoman Horton and Councilman-elect Fox. He had an
opportunity to read the Clinton economic plan and felt there would be an increase in federal monies for
infra-structure improvements for economic development. The City should start looking now at what
infrastructure improvements would be most beneficial to the City, would help the City set up a successful
enterprise zone, business incubators, and recruit back into the community the manufacturing job base lost
over the last several years. He requested that staff look at that and bring back any necessary action.
19. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilman Malcolm
· Appointment of new Council representative to Legislative Committee. Councilman Malcolm stated
he had talked with the Legislative Committee and recommended that his vacancy be filled by Councilwoman
Horton.
MSUC (Malcolm/Moore) to appoint Councilwoman Horton as the new Legislative Cornrniltee member.
· Councilman Malcolm stated the City needed to take positive action regarding the Olympic Training
Center as there was a possibility that the City could lose the opportunity. He felt staff should be directed
to work exclusively on the project to push it through. It would be a good investment even if the City had
to hire someone just to work on the project. He requested that it be placed on next weeks agenda or that
the City Manager take action on his own.
Mayor Nader requested that it be placed on next weeks agenda in case Council action was appropriate and
so the City Manager could inform Council of his intentions.
Councilman Moore:
· Councilman Moore stated that the legislative program established by the City, along with the
legislative team, was appreciated and approved of in Sacramento along with SANDAG and the other cities
in the County.
Councilwoman Horton:
