18. PUBLIC HEARING HOUSING AND COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT NR. Rr)S - For Fiscal Year (FY3
1993-94, the City will receive a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entiffement of $1,664,000
and anticipates receiving program income of about $524,670 from the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation
revolving fund. Staff recommends that Council conduct the public hearing, accept the staff report on the
FY 1993-94 CDBG program, and direct staff to return on 5/18/93 with the funding recommendation report.
(Director of Community Development) Continued from the meeting of 5/4/93.
Mayor Nader stated the public hearing had been continued from the 5/4/93 meeting and reopened the
public hearing.
Those speaking in opposition of South Bay COmmBRity Serfices - Casa Nuestra were:
· Regina Hickey, 21 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA
· Robert Sipan, 5425 LaJolla Hermosa, Avenue, LaJolla, CA
· Bernita Sipan, 335 Kimball Terrace, LaJolla, CA
· Dan Hon, 398 "C" Street, Chula Vista, CA, requested a continuance of the public hearing
due to lack of information received.
Councilmember Rindone stated Ms. Sipan had stated $150,000 was allocated and requested clarification.
Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, responded the speaker was referring to action taken
by Council in March to reallocate Block Grant funds for the project in the amount of $150,000. Council also
reallocated other funds from a pre-payment of a loan from Civic Center Barrio. The total amount of funds
was $618,000. The reason for the hearing was because the neighbors learned of the public hearing on Block
Grant Funding, which was held every year, and the opponents of the project knew Council could reallocate
Block Grant Funds at any given time and speak to the Council on that issue.
Mayor Nader questioned whether the Council could, under the agenda item, retroactively take funds that
were allocated from last years allocation and remove them from the project.
Mr. Salomone responded that was correct.

City Attorney Boogaard stated he had been consulted by Councilmember Rindone, who not knowing the item
was permissible subject matter for the agenda, remained at the dias. When the item was previously heard
he left the dias due to property he owned in the neighborhood. He wished to announce again that he would
not participate in the proceedings due to property ownership. The only permissible way he could participate
would be to remove that particular item from consideration by Council. The problem was that as long as
the item remained subject matter to the Councfl's discretion any other matter he voted on could affect dollars
remaining for the project in conflict which could then have an affect on the property interest he had.
Councilmember Rindone perceived a direct impact on the value of his property as a result of the project.
He felt the FPPC would simila~y advise him to not participate in the decision.
Mr. Salomone stated the project did not compete with other elements but there was discretion within the
housing category.
City Attorney Boogaard stated if the allocation to the housing category could be first he could then
participate in the remaining elements as long as the Council, without Councilmember Rindone, decided how
much was to be allocated to the housing category.
Mr. Salomone responded staff would bifurcate the housing category when brought back to Counc~ for
approval.
City Attorney Boogaard requested that any contact with Councilmember Rindone regarding the item go
through his office.
Those speaking in support of South County Economic Development Council - NAFTA lmple~n~ntatinn
Strate~r Plan were:
· Doug Perkins, 1000 West 24th Street, National City, representing the South County
Economic Development Council
There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed.
Mr. Salomone informed the public that the CUP for South Bay Community Services was tentatively scheduled
on 6/23/93 before the Planning Commission and 7/13/93 before Council.

BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
19. REPORT ENVIRONMFJqTAL ZONE TASK FOR(~ RF/20~ATIONE - On 1/12/93,
Council created a Task Force to identify ways of atl~acting environmentally sound businesses to Chula Vista.
The Task Force has developed a set of recommendations to create and implement a Regional Border
Environmental Task Force. Staff recommends Council: (1) accept and approve the Task Force Concept Paper
(dated 4/28/93); (2) support the Task Force application for Community Devalopment Block Grant funds at
the 5/18/93 meeting; and (3) direct staff to return following the 5/18/93 meeting with specific action items
for approval. (Director of Community Development)
Jim Bliesner, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA, ReinvesUnent Director for the City/County Reinvestment
Task Force, Co-Chair of the Environmental Zone Task Force, reviewed the concept paper. It was the Task
Force's consensus that an appropriate legal structure be formed, i.e. a non-profit agency, with the authority
to expedite the program and establish necessary subsidiary joint ventures, partnerships, etc. For the first
year the agency would do the following short term items: 1) draft and submit, through local governmental
entities, State legislation necessary to access relevant state funds; 2) investigate the need and potential of

a joint powers authority for the purpose of combining the resources of all southbay governmental entities
for the task; and 3) begin to create and fund two subsidiary activities, i.e. environmental business incubator
and an environmental technology resource center. They requested Council approve the concept paper and
agree to contract with the non-profit organization to implement the concept.
Dan Noble, 4452 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA, Environmental Business International, Inc., Member of
Environmental Zone Task Force, focused on the criteria for selecting eligible entrants, incentives, and
benefits to the community.
Councilmember Hotton questioned what the $100,000 would be used for and if matching funds would be
obtained.
Mr. Noble responded the Task Force had not proposed obtaining matching funds from other cities but from
the private sector. $200,000 would be used as initial seed capital to set up the infrastructure to implement
the proposals.
Councilmember Fox stated although it was true that matching funds would come from private sources, there
were also a number of federal agencies where funds could possibly be obtained.
Mayor Nader questioned whether Mr. Noble envisioned the Council moving forward and inviting the other
jurisdictions that would be involved in the JPA to sit down and begin formation of the authority.
Mr. Bliesner responded the proposal asked Chula Vista to take the lead in making a commitment of funds
to provide the impetus for the formation of the non-profit agency, to put the environmental coordinator in
place and then proceed, if necessary, with the formation of a JPA. The key question was what was needed
to make it work, if it could be made to work in a significant manner without a JPA, and then proceed.
Initially the primary benefits would be directed at Chula Vista and as it grew the potential for joint powers
and expansion would occur.
Mayor Nader stated he had spoken to officials that would be involved in a JPA and had been given their
support. He envisioned that items would be put in place to cut through jurisdictional red tape and therefore,
he felt there should be a move toward the creation of the JPA.
Councilmember Fox stated the concept paper addressed the creation of the JPA and if adopted the
appropriate action would be to notify the jurisdictions.
Mr. Bliesner stated the Task Force was concerned with the timeliness and possible delay caused in forming
a JPA.
Councilmember Rindone questioned the proposed salary for the executive director. He recommended that
rather than listing a set salary and fringe benefits a range be listed. In order to obtain a top level executive
director there should be a three year commitment.
Mr. Bliesner responded the figure of $70,000 - $75,0000 had been discussed.
Those speaking in support of the staff recommendation were:
· Diane Takvorian, Environmental Health Coalition, Task Force Member
· Chuck Manley, 7S0 "B' Street #1830, San Diego, CA, California Trade & Commerce Agency
· Michael Shames, 1717 Ketmer, San Diego, CA Sierra Club

Development and International Trade Center
Councilmember Fox stated there was an opportunity to stake a claim in the future, in something the State
and Federal governments were supporting. The zone was about businesses and jobs and he was proud of
the educational effort being made. The obtaining of funds from other jurisdictions was an objective of the
Task Force. Chula Vista was committing the funds first and if the City was going to stand out front the City
should reap the benefits. There was a window of opportunity and he felt the City needed to move quickly.
Barbara Barnburger, Environmental Resource Manager, reviewed the purpose of the legislation which would
piggy-back on existing legislation designating the area as the Border Environmental Commerce Zone. That
designation was a blessing from the State that would allow the Task Force to go to the Federal government
for funds under the auspices of the State designated zone. Hopefully, it would be mandated under Cal EPA
Environmental Technology Partnership Program and the Citys program would become a model.
Councilmember Moore stated success could defend upon how rapidly and well the City proceeded in the
future. He requested the City Manager provide information as to where the funds were coming from, if thare
were options regarding the source of funds, and what projects would be delayed or deleted. He was
concerned the City and County of San Diego did not come through with a conceptual agreement. He felt
a team of City staff members should be established so that everyone would know what was going on, not
just the environmental manager.
Councilmember Hotton questioned whether a JPA would be required if a team were established.
Councilmember Moore stated that would come forward and the team would assist.
City Manager Goss stated under the mechanism or umbrella of a JPA, some of the structural and
organizational problems could be addressed.
MS (Nader/I/ox) to approve part one of the staff recommendation, i.e. 'to accept and approve the Border
Environmental Commerce Zone Concept Paper, dated May 3, 1993'.
Councilmember Fox stated the staff recommendation included going forth with legislation to create the zone
as defined and geograFhically drawn.
Mayor Nader stated the hiring and funding were not part of the motion because the allocation was part of
the CDBG allocation that would be on the 5/18/93 agenda. He felt there should be a mechanism in the JPA
that would give Chula Vista a higher share of return on the invesWnent if there was not a sim~ar investment
fronted by other jurisdictions. There also needed to be a mechanism that resolved any inte~urisdictional
differences on administration of the zone.
Ms. Barnburger stated the designation of the zone would be based on which municipalities wanted to
participate in the zone. The actual designation of the boundaries would stay the same, what would change
would be who was within the boundaries of the zone. The boundaries were based on major transportation
routes to the border.
George Krempl, Deputy City Manager, stated the Environmental Zone would not affect the other land use
controls. The location of industries would still have to be in industrial zoning.
VOTE ON MOTION: apprnved unanimously.
MS (Nader/Fox) direct staff to proceed with contacting the elected officials from the other jurisdictions to
call a meeting to begin planning for the creation of the joint powen authority within the proposed Border
Environlnental Comrn~,xce Zone with diz~ction to develop a proposal for creation of a JPA and bring that
proposal back to Council, as well as to other Councils and Boards that would be required to approve it
before it could be formed.

Councilmember Moore felt a letter should be sent from the Mayor expressing the Council's desire for mutual
agreement and inviting them to the meeting.
Mayor Nader stated he would send the letter but he was also looking for the meeting to be supported by
staff so a report could be compiled to be taken back to the other governing entities. He stated he would
incorporate the recommendation into his motion with the second's agreement.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved unanimously.

ACTION I'I'F~VIS
20. RESOLUTION 17111 AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO ESTABLISH NEW GI~RRN
FEES AT THE CHULAVISTA MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE - American Golf Corporation, the golf course lessee,
is requesting a new green fee schedule effective 7/1/93 and a change in the Resident Senior Monthly Ticket
program. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Parks and Recreation)
Councilmember Horton questioned whether the losses were covered by insurance.
Tom Frost, Regional Director of Operations, American Golf, responded they were not+ The golf course was
located in an area susceptible to flooding and in a flood plan area.
Those speaking in opposition to the staff recommendation were:
· John K. Relph, 583 Fig Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, stated he was in support of the dues increase but
in opposition to the deletion of Seniors on Friday.
· Raymond Cayla, 112 "H" Street, Chula Vista, CA, stated he was opposed to the deletion of Seniors ....
on Friday.
Councilmember Moore questioned the difference be~veen the staff recommendation regarding Seniors and
the Commission recommendation.
Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated staff recommended that Seniors would not have
to reserve tee times between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon, Monday thru Friday. The Commission felt they
should offer the advance reservation Monday thru Thursday and leave Friday open so the Seniors would not
have advance reservations between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon.
Councilmember Fox questioned whether the recommendation for an increase in fees took into account a
need for reasonable return.
Mr. Valenzuela responded the overriding consideration used in the fee setting process was to refer to the
lease agreement which referred to comparable public comes. There was no mention of reasonable return.
Carmen Sandoval-Fernandez, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, stated she had voted against the
Commission's recommendation as she supported the staff recommendation which would leave the program
as it was for the Seniors. In her opinion, American Gold did not make a good case as to why the Seniors
should not be able to continue on Friday.
· Tom Frost, 5000 E. Anaheim, Long Beach, CA, Regional Director of Operations, American Golf
Corporation, stated they supported the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission in regards
to Senior citizens. The starting times from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon were prime times on Fridays in the area.
American Golf recommended Council consider the rates that were recommended by American Golf, not those
recommended by staff or the Commission. Staff had recommended that rates for the residents of the City
go up to $14.00, American Golf recommended $15.00. Staff recommended that weekend rates go to $18.00
and American Golf recommended $19.00. American Golf recommended that Senior monthly passes go from
$40.00 to $42.00. The rates American Golf recommended were approved by the Chula Vista Men's Club

Board of Directors and the Chula Vista Womens Club. Those groups accounted for almost half of the total
resident play at the Chula Vista Golf Course. City staff had recommended a July I implementation date to
get on a year to year basis. Since the last increase was 5/16/92 they recommended June I for
implementation.

recommendation for rare increase, resident senior monthly pass and resident senior discount card be honored
Monday thru Friday [rom 8:00 a.nL to 12:00 noon, and the proposed rate increase would be effective on July

Parks and Recreation Commission vote. Alnencknent accepted by the Maker and Second of the motion,
VOTE ON RESOLUTION 17111, AS AMENDED: approved unanimously.
Mayor Nader stated he would be open to revisiting the issue of Senior play on Fridays ff there was evidence
that full-rate paying golfers were being prevented from playing because of reservations made under the
Senior discount.
21. RESOLUTION 17112 APPROVING AN AGRERMENT WITH MAYFLOWER CONTRACT SFIVICP-~,
INC. FOR OPERATION OF CHULA VISTA TRANSIT (CVT) AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CVT BUS FII;.RT
FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 1993 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1996 - Six responsive proposals to operate CVT
and fleet maintenance were received in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP). A four-member panel
evaluated the proposals and recommends Mayflower Contract Services, Inc. as the CVT contract operator.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution- (Director of Public Works)
William Gustarson, Transit Coordinator, stated the issue was a management and maintenance services
contract. He reviewed the differences in the proposals. The primary reason the evaluation panel
recommended Mayflower was because of the management team issues not cost allocation. On page 8 of the
agenda statement, Benefit Package Table 4, under San Diego Transit, Attendance and Safety Bonus, should
state "$100 quarterly". Under Mayflower, Life Insurance, ir should state "$5,000 term policy", and under ATC
VanCorn, proposal for next year, Vacation, should be "after seven years, Fifteen days vacation".
Councilmember Fox was concerned regarding the issue of the Section 3E argument. He questioned what
the risks were to the City ff there was a Section 3E challenge.
Mr. Gustafson stated when the proposals were evaluated in the first phase each of the three fLrrns received
about the same scoring. The panel's decision was not based on the cost allocation issue per se, but rather
on the management team that was proposed. The RFP was written and emphasized a certain level of
experience. The primary risk to the City would be disruption in senrice. He assumed nothing would happen
ffSan Diego Transit had nor allocated their costs, if not challenged. If it was challenged someone could try
to obtain an injunction to prevent the awarding of the contract which he felt unlikely. If someone appealed
to the FTA and an investigation ensued and it was decided the costs were not allocated, San Diego Transit
would have to try to increase their costs ro the City. San Diego Transit had stated they allocated the costs
based on the proposal. Aside from the cost allocation issue, he felt the panel would still have given San
Diego Transit a lesser score due ro the supervisory position change that was not made clear in the written
proposal.
Councilmember Fox stated there was no reason to believe that San Diego Transit had not allocated the costs
as they had stated.
Mayor Nader stated was under the impression, after talking to staff, that cost allocation was a significant
factor in the staffs rating of San Diego Transit's response. It was his understanding that any change in the
management team was subject to the concurrence of the City. He questioned why the City would be
concerned if the City had to concur.

.)
Mr. Gustarson stated that was correct for two positions, the location manager and maintenance manager.
There did not appear to be sufficient costs in the budget to pay for the position if a manager of equal
experience was proposed.
Mayor Nader questioned whether anything unsatisfactory had been found regarding San Diego Transit's
management and safety record. He also questioned whether the three bids were equal in terms of the
amount of City staffing required to administer and oversee the contract.
Mr. Gustarson responded they had not. All three bids were equal in the amount of time required to
administer the contract.
Councilmember Rindone stated it appeared the benefit package from San Diego Transit was more beneficial
to the employee.
Mr. Gustarson felt it would be correct to say that when looking at the two issues, it was his opinion that San
Diego Transies benefit plan was better than Mayflower. The ATC benefit plan negotiated for the new
contract had some changes and was fairly extensive, although it did not cover as many items as San Diego
Transit.
· Carolyn Buffer, 97 Bishop Street, Chula Vista, CA~ stated Mayflower was a Canadian Company and
therefore their profits would not remain in the City, State, or CounuSr. She expressed her concern regarding
the maintenance of the buses, i.e. tires, rims, and interior. She felt San Diego Transit was a quality firm.
· Jon Monson, 1000 Howe Road, Martinez, CA, Vice President of Operations, Mayflower Contract
Services, stated they were not a Canadian Company and were based in the United States. He then pointed
out the positive aspects of their proposal. The procurement was not a low bid process and they had followed
the City's rules consistently and felt the staff recommendation was consistent with the rules laid out in the
RFP.
Councilmember Rindone requested that Mr. Monson expand on his comment that it would be operated from
the City.
Mr. Mortson responded that local management would be empowered to make all necessary decisions from
Chula Vista in a facility in the City's corporation yard.
· Wayne Dailing, 4507 Carnaby Court, Carlsbad, CA, Operator of the Poway Transit System for
Mayflower Contract Services, assured Council that Mayflower was a competent provider of service.
· Roger Snoble, 100 16th Street, San Diego, CA, President and General Manager of San Diego Transit
Corporation, urged Council to award the contract to San Diego Transit Corporation. Their operation worked
on empowering people at the lowest level to make sure they could make decisions at the local level. They
wanted LYE to be a unit that was supported by San Diego Transit but under the City's control and direction.
Councilmember Fox questioned whether San Diego Transit had ever been challenged in a way that
interrupted service. He also questioned whether there had been concern regarding the qualifications of the
replacement team.
Mr. Snoble responded they had not been challenged where it interrupted senrice. One person would be on
the transition team and with the project for three years. Over the transition period it was their hope to
develop people that were already on the property as they had the history and knowledge of the system.
Councilmember Moore questioned whether San Diego Transit was subsidized in any way by the City of San
Diego.
Councilmember Rindone stated San Diego had not scored well in transition experience and requested
clarification.
Mr. 5noble responded that one of the problems in going in was knowing precisely what all the procedures
were. That was why they brought in a transition team with higher experience to make sure everything went

smoothly. The advantage would be that most all of the employees would still be there. He did not see the
transition as a problem. They felt is was important to have that level of personnel for the transition in order
to get everything set-up, established, and going. He felt certain everything would go smoothly but ff it did
not they were prepared to live by the proposal.
· Ted Closter, 10393 San Diego Mission Road #205, San Diego, CA, representing San Diego Bus
Drivers Union 1309, Local Amalgamated Transit Union, stated they would be the collective bargaining
representative if the award went to San Diego Transit. He felt the San Diego Transit benefit package was
far and above the proposed package by Mayflower. San Diego Transit also proposed to use 98% of the
employees as full-time, Mayflower proposed 75% as full-time employees.
· Greg Attaway, 275 Minor Street, Chula Vista, CA, spoke in support of San Diego Transit.
Councilmember Fox stated the scores, in his opinion, were extremely close but San Diego Transit was the
lower bidder. They were a local company and the benefit package was superior. Therefore, he would
support San Diego Transit.
MS (Fox/l-iorton) to approve an agreement between the City of (~ula V'~ta and San Diego 'lYan~it for
operation of Chula Vista Transit and maintenance of the Chula V~sta fleet for a period of July 1, 1993
through June 30, 1996.
Councilmember Moore stated he would always have a problem in changing the recommendations that came
before Council.
AMENDMENT TO MOTION: (Horton) to add an option to extend the agreement for an additional two yea~,
July 1. 1996 through June 30, 1998. Amendment agreeable to the Maker of the motion.
Mayor Nader questioned whether the amendment was acceptable to San Diego Transit.
Mr. Snoble responded that it was.
City Attorney Boogaard stated he assumed the proposed resolution was to authorize the contract in
essentially same form as presented in the agenda package, except for changing the name and authorizing
the Mayor to execute. Staff had negotiated favorable provisions in the agreement, i.e. the indemnification
provision which he would want included in the new agreement with San Diego Transit.
Mayor Nader stated that was his understanding of the motion except that benefits offered by San Diego
Transit, not offered by Mayflower, would also be inco~orated into the agreement along with lower costs.
City Attorney Boogaard questioned whether that would include the driver benefits,
Mayor Nader stated the driver benefits were the subject of a contract with the City and probably the subject
of a collective bargaining agreement between San Diego Transit and the Transit Union.
City Attorney Boogaard stated they had included in the proposed agreement that they offer certain driver
benefits, page 21-3.
Mayor Nader stated he did not want to see anything less than what was included in the proposed agreement.
City Attorney Boogaard stated the proposed contract for Mayflower, except for the changes discussed, was
adequate. Council could authorize the execution with those changes or, if preferred, it could be brought
back with the changes. He felt comfortable with the passage of the resolution with the signing of the
contract by the Mayor.
Mayor Nader questioned whether the motion was to strike "Mayflower" and replace with "San Diego Transit~
and provide that the contract included the additional benefits offered by San Diego Transit. The Maker and
Second of the motion agreed as to the intent of the motion.

· Jim Dickey, National Sales Manager, Mayflower Contract Services, stated there were significant
indemnity and insurance issues that were part of their negotiations in the proposed agreement. He did not
feel it was in the City's best interest to assume San Diego Transit was willing to assume those clauses
without being aware of them. He clarified there was a division office in California and emphasized they had
recommended an 'A team~ which they would not pull out.
Mayor Nader questioned whether San Diego Transit was agreeable to all provisions in the contract
negotiated with Mayflower.
Mr. Snoble responded they were unaware of what had been negotiated with Mayflower after the process.
If there were other things over and above the RFP they had no knowledge. There were significant
indemnification and insurance clauses in the RFP they complied with.
City Attorney Boogaard stated under the motion it was assumed the agreement would be revised, presented
to San Diego Transit, and ff there was a problem, staff would not allow execution and it would be brought
back to Council for clarification. The indemnification provisions set forth in the proposed agreement were
intheRFP.
Mayor Nader stated San Diego Transit had indicated they consented to the terms in the RFP.
VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED: approved/[-1 with Moore opposed.
22. RESOLUTION 17113 APPROVING AN AGBRRMENT WITH THE AMF. MICAN RED CROSS FOR
HANDYTRANS OPERATION FOR THE PERIOD OF a'ULY 1, 1993 THROUGH ~UNE 30, 1996 - The City
received four responsive proposals in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Handytrans operation.
The proposals were evaluated by a three-member panel. The panel recommends American Red Cross to
operate Handytrans. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Public Works)
Councilmember Rindone questioned what the fair rate of recovery percentage was for Handytrans.
Mr. Gustafson responded it was about 15% to 16%, the law required 10%.
Councilmember Moore questioned why the hold hamless agreement had been modified.
City Attorney Boogaard responded that the proposer, after making the proposal, had their Risk Manager
reread the hold harmless provision and they had serious obj octions contending the insurance company would
not insure them if they were obligated to perform under the proposed indemnity clause. Staff then
negotiated that they could have a reduced indemnity obligation if they reduced the price because the stricter
indemnity came with a value to the City, i.e. approximately $36,.000.
· Carolyn Butler, 97 Bishop Street, Chula Vista, CA, stated if she could not get Dial-A-Ride right now
she wanted a grant next year to approach it. She resented the fact that she could ride on Handy~ans with
the patrons she worked for but she, as a disabled person, could not use the system. She felt it was wrong
and needed to be changed.
· Nancy Hitchcock, 1421 Nolan Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, stated she had used Handytrans for ten years
and was extremely satisfied with their service. She was afraid if there were any changes it would impact
the employees. She recommended that those currently working for Handytrans be rehired at their current
wages.
Mr. Gustarson stated the RFP required a minimum star~ing wage of $6.00/hour and the current starting
minimum wage was $5.10/hour. Red Cross did commit to interview and hire qualified drivers and
dispatchers.

Mayor Nader stated there were provisions in the contract that appeared to require compliance with the/iDA
standards. He was concerned with the language which stated "ADA compliance must be achieved by 1997'
and he questioned whether that compliance was when the contract began or when it ended.
Mr. Gustarson responded it would be full compliance, regarding the hours of operation, at the end of the
contract. There would be expansion of service every year until full compliance was met in 1997. Right now
the system was meeting the demand regula~y for requests. They were falling short on the hours of
operation. Next year the region as a whole would be expanding the Dial-A-Ride services by another hour
or two in the evening.
Mayor Nader stated there had been a referral on the item to the Human Relations Commission and their
meeting was tomorrow, he questioned whether the City's ability to enter into an agreement would be
jeopardized if the item was postponed until Council received the Commission report.
Fir. Gustarson suggested time was getting short for the transition and if that was the only consideration,
Council could approve the agreement and staff would come back to Council with any recommendations
regarding changes to service. The contract could be amended at a later date as it was a cost per hour
contract.
RESOLUTION 17113 OFFERED BY COUNTER RINDONE, reading of the text was waived.
Mayor Nader stated he would vote against the motion because of the referral to the Human Relations
Commission and the lack of their recommendations. His vote was not against the Red Cross. The referral
was for what provisions, if any, should be made for supplemental service and what services Handyu'ans was
providing.
Mr. Gustarson stated the Human Relations Commission was new to transit issues and he was not sure they
would be able to reach a conclusion and recommendations at their meeting.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-1 with Nader opposed.
23.A. RESOLUTION 17114 APPROVING THE CONVERSION OF TWO VEHICI.P_~ TO COMPRESSED
NATURAL GAS, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR (FY) 1992-93 BUDGET AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS - On
4/27/93, Council was asked to accept bids and award conu'acr for the purchase of u-ucks previously
approved in the bY' 1992-93 budget. Council continued the item until 5/11/93 so that staff could: (1)
examine whether consideration of local sales tax generations would have changed the bid award; and (2)
make a recommendation on possible conversion of the vehicles to alternate fuel. Staff recommends approval
of the resolution. (Director of Finance and Director of Public Works) 4/Sth's vote required.
B. RESOLUTION 17091 ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF
TRUCKS - Bids were received for the purchase of five vehicles, approved in the Fiscal Year 1992-93 budget.
Three vehicles are provided for in the Equipment Replacement Fund and the other two in the General Fund.
Three vehicles will be used in the Engineering-Inspection Division and one each in Parks Maintenance and
Animal Regulation. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Finance) Continued from
the meeting of 4/27/93.
Mayor Nader stated there were no requests to speak on Item 27 but there were members of the public
present to speak on Items 7 and 24. Mr. Garcia stated he would return next week.
MS (Rindone/Nader) to deal with Items 23, 24, 26, the Redevelopment Agency agenda, and Closed Session
items. All other items would be continued to the meeting of 5/18/93.
City Attorney Boogaard stated there were three items Council needed to discuss in Closed Session: 1) Igou
vs. City of Chula Vista; 2) new litigation County of San Diego vs. City of Chula Vista relating to the Rancho
San Miguel project; and 3) Hummel vs. City of Chula Vista.

AMENDMENT TO MOTION: (Nader/Rindone) to find the items as outlined by the City Attorney were a
marter of urgency and were to be heard by the City Counc~.
Councilmember Rindone requested Item 9 be continued for a petiod of vwo weeks as he felt there needed
to be additional staff research.
City Attorney Boogaard stated due to a request for information from Councilmember Rindone he felt it would
take at least two weeks to prepare a proper response. The question was whether the church and state
separation requirements were met.
Ma or Nader stated he could appreciate the request by wanted those operating the program be consu]ted
an~/if they felt it would harm their operation to have a two week delay he wanted to be informed.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-1 with Moore opposed.
Dave Byers, Deputy Director of Public Works/Operations, informed Council he had been assured by Mr. Lind
there would be twenty-four hour/seven days per week access to the "J" Sweet school site for fueling. Staff
was recommending the conversion immediately of two 4X4 pick-ups. One was a vehicle for a new position
approved in the current year's budget and the second vehicle was in bad shape and not worth saving. Staff
wou]d return to Council with the request to convert three vehicles next year when it was determined what
the State's program was. One was a new vehicle for a new position approved in the current year's budget.
The animal conwol vehicle was curren~y beyond repair and the park maintenance vehicle was unsafe.
Councilmember Rindone stated research had shown that other alternatives were more effective than CNG.
He referred to a report which stated numerous automobile manufactures were producing alternate fuel
vehicles. He felt staff needed to validate the information received regarding flexible fuels in order to make
a dilTerenee in the environment. He was extremely concerned regarding the potential for explosion with
CNG.
MS (Rindone/Fox) continue the item one week for report back on alternative fuels.
City Manager Goss stated staff was responding to a specific request and the report did not articulate an
overall sxzategy. He felt the City needed to try the different types of alternative fuels as a part of mix in the
fleet. Because a CNG pump was available staff felt they could start with that system. He did not feel there
was a problem in holding the item over for one week, it was not a commitment to CNG but an effort to try
to do what Council wanted regarding alternate fuels.
Councilmember Rindone felt there was merit in first hand experience. He was willing to change his motion
as he felt the City needed to experiment. He wanted to make it very clear that by changing the motion he
expected the next time staff returned to Council it would be an alternate fuel vehicle.

alternative fuels or fiem~le fuels.
Councilmember Fox stated he would second the motion with the understanding that the vehicles would have
to qualify for the particular alternative fuel so a resniction would not be imposed that could not be done.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved unanimously.

RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC. FOR ACQUISITI ON, INST,s-H ATION, TRAINING, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
(]]'Y-WIDE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYb'I'Ir, M, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO F,)~CUTE SAME -
The a~reement is for the purchase and installation of equipment and software for the City-wide Geographic
Information System CGIS). The GIS is a key element in the City's continuing efforts to improve staff
efficiency and to provide better service to the citizens of Chula Vista. A GIS uses the latest computer
technology to combine graphic and non-graphic data processing techniques for the creation of geographic
or land use information by integrating diverse automated City data files, including maps. The system will
give staff, managers, and policy makers the ability to use geography (individual parcel, planning area, City
block, etc.) as a common denominator for the review and impact analysis of data from a number of different
sources such as sl~eets, easements, sewers, drainage systems, street trees, street lights, a'affic signals, land
use/zoning, assessment districts, fire hydrants, etc. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director
of Public Works) Continued ffom the meefing of 4/27/9:3.
· Joesph W. Garcia, 484 5th Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, expressed concern that monies were being
borrowed from the sewer fund for the purchase of the GIS system. He questioned whether the sewer fund
collections were being expended for other than their intended purposes. The initial bid for ESRI did not tally
with the amount of money being spent for the entire system. He felt the agreement was tenuous as there
were escape clauses regarding performance.
Councilmember Moore stated 56% of the $2.4 million budget would come from the sewer fund and
questioned whether it was a loan.
Clifford Swanson, City Engineer/Deputy Public Works Director, responded that it was not. The $1.4 million
was justified on the basis of usage for the sewer system in tracking, putting it on the system, mapping, and
rise,
Fred Wong, GIS Manager, stated the bulk of the funds were to capture the sewer system information.
Currently the information was incomplete. In a follow-up project they would get aerial photography to pin
point manholes, elevations, etc.
Councilmember Fox stated there would be a cost savings of $4 million over ten years and a break-even point
in the fifth year. There would also be increased productivity and efficiency.
RESOLUTION 17095 OFFERED BY COUNCILMEMBER FOX, reading of the text was waived.
Mayor Nader noted there would be tremendous savings and questioned whether the special funds would be
reimbursed from the savings.
Mr. Swanson responded it was not so much a reimbursement as not having to spend money as fast. Staff
could also do their work more efficiently with better information available.
City Manager Goss stated he was not sure what would be required administratively but felt the savings could
be tracked. What was being described was a more efficient system and would be more of a cost avoidance
program.
Mayor Nader stated he was not convinced the sewer fund would realize over 50% of the savings. He
suggested that an allocation formula for savings be developed by which the fund was made whole through
the savings. He did not want an enormous sum expended to make it precise, if there was a ball park
estimate it was good enough. He did not want to be in a situation where funds were being taken from a
special fund for a special purpose and using it to subsidize a cost savings or new funds in some other area
at the expense of those paying the special fees. The point would be to implement a policy of at least good
faith reimbursement to the special funds.
AMENDMENT TO MOTION: (Nader/Fox) direct staff to make a good faith estimate of allocation of savings
from the GIS and to allocate those savings proportionately to the funds being used to pay for the system.

Councilmember Fox questioned when the decision would be made as to whether or not Chula Vista would
be designated as a model city.
Barbara Barnburger, Environmental Resources Manger, responded she would meet with representatives on
Friday to discuss funding sources available. They were hesitant to go with the City of Chula Vista at this
point.
Councilmember Moore stated he had a problem with the development of a satellite work center due to the
size of the city.
Ms. Barnburger stated the satellite work center was for private and public entities. The University of
CA/Davis and Caltrans had a program where they would be placing satellite work centers throughout the
State and providing matching funds to pay for capital costs,

26. REPORT CHULAVISTAHUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL - Council established the Chula
Vista Human Services Counc~ (CVHSC) in 1988 in response to recommendations contained in the newly-
adopted Social Service Plan. The Mayor and Council appointed the directors of public and private human
services agencies as its members, many of whom were not Chula Vista residents. Over the past four years,
CVHSC has brought together agencies and resources to collectively address the Ciry's most pressing human
services needs. Although not an official advisory body, the Council's activities are undertaken under the
auspices of the City and with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other City funding. Some
of the programs initiated by the CVHSC may involve direct services to the public, which creates a liability
factor for the City. The larger issue is the role of the CVHSC and its relationship to the City. Staff
recommends Counc~ accept the report and approve one of the resolutions. (Director of Community
