Staff will begin reviewing selected insurance policies to ensure compliance with the Code. Staff recommends Council place the ordinance on first reading. (Director of Personnel) Mayor Nader noted the ordinance had been placed on first reading at the 8/3/93 meeting and questioned why it was not on the agenda for second reading. City Attorney Boogaard responded the ordinance had required more than a clerical correction, therefore, it required an additional first reading. 7. RESOLDTION 17214 APPROVING AG!~KKMENTS WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY PROMOTIONS GROUPS FOR EXPENDITURE OF CITY FUNDS - The 1993/94 budget includes funding of various Community Promotions groups. The Council considered requests from these groups during the budget session on 6/3/93 and approved funding for the Chula Vista Jaycees, Gretchen Evans Library Concerts, U.N.

Mayor Nader stated after reading the confidential memo he had concerns which he felt would be properly addressed in closed session regarding pending litigation and personnel. City Attorney Boogaard responded he was unaware of an urgency that would not allow the item to be scheduled for the next Council meeting. Diana Levin, Risk Manager, stated the appropriation needed to be approved because the settlement needed to be done in a timely way. The papers effectuating the settlement needed to be signed that week. City Attorney Boogaard felt that would justify emergency findings in order to discuss the item in Closed Session. Councilmember Moore asked whether the Mayor was questioning the individual payment or the process of utilizing the liability trust fund. Mayor Nader responded he was questioning the individual payment that necessitated that process. He suggested the item be trailed until Councilmember Fox returned to the meeting.

AND THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT - The City, in conjunction with the San Diego Unified Port District, is planning to host the San Diego Symphony Pops Orchestra for a concert at Bayside Park on Sunday, 8/22/93.

Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Parks and Recreation) 11. RESOLUTION 17218 ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR TREE TRIMMING SERVICES IN THE CITY - Sealed bids were received on 7/21/93 for tree trimming services. The subject project includes the trimming of a total of S,011 trees located at various locations throughout the City. Staff recommends approval of the resolution accepting bids and awarding the contract to Golden Bear Arborists, Inc. (Director of Public Works) Pulled from the Consent Calendar. Mayor Nader stated he had received complaints regarding past tree trimming services on the east side of Fourth Avenue between Davidson and "E" Streets. He questioned whether the work had been done by the proposed contractor. He further questioned whether it would be possible that the contract provide for replacement of trees if negligent trimming made replacement desirable. John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, did not believe that was in the contract. However, if City property was damaged it was in the "Green Book" which was standard for all contracts. He did feel if there was a valid concern, the City could require the contractor to replace the trees. The proposed contractor did the last contract and, according to the Superintendents at Public Works, had done a good job. The item could be delayed if Council desired. Councilmember Rindone stated that last year he had requested a review of the number of employees in the tree trimming section of the street department. He questioned what percentage of the tree trimming was done by City employees versus the percentage trimmed by the contractor. Mr. Lippitt stated there was a total of seven authorized positions but there was one vacancy. Two person crews did the complaint trimming, specialized trimming, tree removals and replacements for the sidewalk program. They were not set-up to do major block trimmings. The City crews did less than half of what a contractor would do in a normal year. Staff would return with their work program when the item was brought back to Council. Councilmember Rindone stated he was not certain the City could not provide the service in a more cost effective way. He realized the contract addressed a different type of tree trimming, but wanted to see stalTs response and their analysis. He realized the City could not take over the operation in a year, but wanted to know if it would be beneficial to take it over in two, four, or five years. Mr. Lippitt requested a two week delay to allow staff to prepare a report for Council. MS (Rindone/Nader) to continue the item to the meeting of 8/24/93 for a report addressing the concerns expressed by Mayor Nader and Councilmember Rindone. Minutes August 10, 1993 Page 4 Councilmember Moore felt the report was appropriate and that it should cover three to five years of costs and percentages. Councilmember Rindone stated he supported the recommendation and wanted to know, if the City was to resume tree trimming, if it would be cost effective in three to five years. If the City could never achieve the point where it would be cost effective, then Council needed to know that. Councilmember Moore stated there was a certain need for in-house tree trimming due to complaints, etc. and he felt that should also be included in the report. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 3-0-2 with Horton and Fox absenL 12. REPORT NOTIFICATION OF CITY INTENT TO NOT RENEW LEASE AGREEMENT WITH SAN DIEGO GAS 8t lq.RCTRIC (SDG&E) FOR EASEMENT - pAR~F,I.

Staff is recommending the cancellation of lease agreement for Parcel Number 141-37-54H.

The study is underway and the preliminary results indicate that amendments to the standards may be appropriate. A one year extension of the moratorium would provide an adequate period of time to complete the study and process the amendments and associated environmental review. Staff recommends Council adopt the urgency ordinance. (Director of Planning) 4/5th's vote required. ORDINANCE 2565 EXTENDING FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR THE MORATORIUM ON THE ACCEPTANCE, PROCESSING AND/ORAPPROVAL OF APPLICATIONS FORADULT-ORIENTED RECREATION BUSINF, SSF~, AS PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE NU1VIBER 2558 (~c'V ordinance) - 4/5th's vote required.

PUBLIC HEARING AMF3qDING THE CITYS 1992/93 HOME PROGRAM DESCRIPTION - South Bay Community Services is requesting $617,646 of HOME Federal Housing Funds from the City for Acquisition and Rehabilitation of a 14 unit apartment building at 31 Fourth Avenue which they plan to develop into a short-term housing facility to serve homeless families in the South Bay.

Councilmember Rindone stated he would abstain from participation due to a conflict of interest and left the dias. Councilmember Fox questioned whether a definitive determination had been made as to whether a 4/5th's vote was required. City Attorney Boogaard stated staff was evaluating that issue. Based on his preliminary reading he had originally believed that a budget amendment was not necessary because the monies were already appropriated. However, it appeared the Home Program funds had never been appropriated in the past but, staff and the Budget Manager believed that it required a 4/5th's vote because it would be an interim year amendment to the budget. This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was declared open. MSC (Nader/Fox) to approve the staff recommendation to continue the hearing to the meeting of 8/17/93. Apprnved 3-0-1-1 with Horton absent and Rindone abstaining. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS 16. REPORT PROPOSAL FOR CHILD CARE FACILITIES FOR NEW COIVIMUNITY CENTERS/CITY FACILITIES - The Commission is recommending that the General Plan be amended to include a child care element for placement of child care facilities in existing and future public city buildings. Staff recommends Council accept the report. (Child Care Commission) George E. Ham nan, Chair of the Child Care Commission, gave a brief history of the proposal. The Commission had met with the Parks and Recreation Department and they endorsed the program. The idea was to have a check-off so that when new construction of City buildings was started, they would already have the right combination of rooms, restrooms, etc. to meet the requirements for a child care facility. Councilmember Moore expressed concern that the check list was idealistic and questioned where the guidelines were obtained. Mr. Hartman responded that several members of the Commission were in the business and had indicated they were State guidelines. The check list included in the packets was an example only and the Commission realized it would have to be developed in conjunction with experts regarding the requirements and what was feasible. Minutes August 10, 1993 Page 6 Councilmember Rindone stated he had been in charge of a child care facility for three years and noted the key to the facility was the cost of staff to operate a program. The check list should include minimum requirements as per State guidelines and anything above that was desirable. Councilmember Moore felt government could not do everything for everyone. He questioned whether the Commission had looked at joint efforts and if that would be inappropriate for a Child Care element of the General Plan. Robert Leiter, Director of Planning, responded the General Plan would look at a variety of ways to provide a certain type of service. He felt it would be appropriate to have further discussions between staff and the Commission regarding what the real scope of their effort was. It would not be inappropriate to talk about funding of joint facilities in a Child Care element of the General Plan. Councilmember Fox stated he had been a member of the Chula Vista 2000 Subcommittee and recognized that if the recommendation passed the objectives listed and the check list were only conceptual in nature. He agreed government could not do everything and that outside providers would be needed. One of the major recommendations from the Subcommittee was the establishment of an intergenerational facility. He felt it was a concept that should be reviewed. MS (FoX/Nader) to approve the recommendation of both the Child Care Commission and the Parks and Recreation DepartmenL Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated it was staffs intent to work with the Child Care Commission and the Planning Deparunent to identify a work plan that would be related to any type of General Plan amendment that could add a Child Care element. Staff would return with the scope of wark and status of staffs' work with the Commission. Councilmember Moore stated one recommended a scope of work and the other a potential element of the General Plan which he felt was different. It was his understanding the Parks and Recreation Depathttent did not have to wait for a General Plan amendment before they started a plan of their own. Mr. Valenzuela stated the scope of work would identify what was necessary to do the update of the General Plan. Staff needed to understand exactly what the Commission wanted to achieve and identify how much staff work would go into that. He felt it would take approximately two months before staff would be prepared to bring the scope of work to Council for review. Mayor Nader stated he wanted to be clear on what he was voting on. The Commission recommendation was clear and was the motion on the table. He felt what Mr. Valenzuela was saying was not inconsistent with the motion on the floor, which was that as a portion of implementing the Commission recommendation there would be a progress report, in the form of a work plan, brought back to Council after initial consultation between staff and the Commission. That was fine as long as it did not develop into a process where a lot of additional staff time and money was being spent on a work plan. He would encourage a friendly amendment that staff not wait until a General Plan amendment was adopted and implemented to proceed with any work that could be accomplished in the mean time towards providing child care. Friendly alnendment: {lVloore) to include a fifth objective - staff ensure to include potential joint venture alternatives which would include major employers, major employer groups, social senrice and religious orgnn~Talious, as well as other public agencies. Agreed to by the Maker and Second of the motion. Friendlyamendmen~ ~Rindone)thechecklistwouldprnvidetheStateminimumrequirementsandnotwhat was desirable. Agreed to by the Maker and Second of the motion. VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED: approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Minutes August 10, 1993 Page 7 MS (Rindone/Moore) to direct staff to report back to Council with recommendations regarding the designation of a percentage of the CDBG monies to any agencies or ventures planning to operate child care facilities. Mayor Nader stated he was concerned with the motion as there was already a social service policy in the City which was a guide for allocating CDBG social service funds. The Child Care Commission was one of the commissions that made recommendations on CDBG social service funding and so their input had been institutionalized into the process. He felt there were a number of non-profit organizations that needed government funding also. Councilmember Rindone stated the intent of the motion was to ask for information with a potential recommendation as to whether the City should have such a percentage. VOT]~ ON MOTION: approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Councilmember Fox requested the Commission revisit the recommendation of the Chula Vista 2000 Subcommittee regarding an intergenerational facility and make a determination as to whether it was feasible. Mayor Nader stated his reading of the recommendation was that a plan would be developed in which there would be criteria for what new City facilities would trigger the child care requirement. Mr. Hartman responded that was the intent of their recommendation. ACTION ITEMS 17. REPORT SOLID WASTE ISSUES - An oral report will be given by staff. George Krempl, Deputy City Manager, updated Council on where the various cities stood, the Interim Commission action, remaining issues, and staff recommendations. The following recommendations were made by the Interim Commission at their last meeting: 2) Recommendation to the County Board of Supervisors that the Board not support the San Marcos financing issue, but support a pay-as-you-go financing method. That would cause an increase on 10/1/93 from the current $43/ton to $65/ton in the tipping fee. 2) The Board cease making any further expenditures in pursuant of either north or south county landfill sites until an agreement on permanent governance, or lack thereof, occurred. 3) the Board should defer tier three purchases which dealt with the San Marcos landfill. The Interim Commission was not willing to consider any funher amendments to the agreement, including the issues Council had directed to be presented and would have made the agreement satisfactory to Chula Vista. One of the three outstanding issues had been resolved, i.e. County approval of the Second Amendment, which stated the County would not issue bonds without a majority vote by the Interim Commission. Outstanding issues were: 1) bonding would be subject to a majority vote of the Commission and the Commission vote could constitute a small amount of the total flow and population which would not be in the interest of Chula Vista or other larger cities; and 2) the ability of the City to pullout, without penalty, once a permanent governance structure had been recommended if the City was not in concurrence with that permanent governance structure. Staff tentatively recommended Council continue to deliberate, but withhold final action until either the meeting of 8/24/93 or a special meeting prior to the drop-dead date of 8/27/93 to join the Interim Commission. That would give the City the opportunity to see if the County took any action regarding the recommendations from the Interim Commission. It would also allow time to see what the other cities would be doing and allow staff time to compile the information requested by Councilmembers Hotton and Moore. City Attorney Boogaard stated the item had been listed for Closed Session discussion regarding the institution of litigation on the surcharge and requested Council take his comments, advice, and recommendations in Closed Session. Minutes August 10, 1993 Page 8 Councilmember Moore felt the two issues that should be addressed were: 1) the minority of the population and tonnage could commit the majority of the cities; and 2) no language in the agreement to allow the cities to withdraw from the Commission if the cities did not agree with the permanent form of governance adopted. The proposed capital improvement projects required should also be addressed. Councilmember Rindone also felt the two key aspects were: 1) the legal en~'apment of the twenty year term and no provision to withdraw from the Interim Commission if the City did not agree upon the form of governance adopted by the Interim Commission; and 2) the two legal interpretations versus the actual verbiage in the agreement. The risk of participation had not changed. The item was trailed until after Council met in Closed Session. Council reconvened the meeting at 8:18 p.m. Mayor Nader stated Council had met in Closed Session and had taken the following actions: 1) authorize the City Attorney to file suit against the County to contest the proposed levying of a trash surcharge on landfills; and 2) to authorize a Council subcommittee consisting of Councilmembers Rindone and Moore to sit down with two members of the County Board of Supervisors to attempt to negotiate agreement. MS 01indonefNader) to direct staff to return in one week with a pre]imlnary report on options available to the City regarding solid waste disposal concerns, Councilmember Moore felt the options should be compared to the County system. He felt the key was that much of the information would be second guessing, but staff could return with approximate costs. The additional costs, above and beyond the cost of taking the trash to landfill, should be included in the report. Councilmember Rindone stated he agreed with Councilmember Moore's recommendation. Mayor Nader suggested staff also consult with representatives of Laidlaw and Waste Management regarding altematives. Councilmember Fox stated when Council had previously requested information regarding alternatives, staff had reported there were few alternatives available. He hoped the new report would contain a more concrete response. City Manager Goss responded there was more information available now but he was not sure the nature of the information would be firmer, it would still be speculative. Councilmember Rindone stated his expectations of the report would include two or three viable approaches, i.e. transfer station, Campo landfill, etc. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Councilmember Rindone had staff show slides of the signs currenfiy posted at the Otay landfill entrance. Mayor Nader stated it appeared the sign said if people were from a non-signatory city the charge would be $62/ton, after the surcharge, which appeared to be out of date because the Commission had already voted to charge $62/ton as the regular charge. MS (Rindone/Fox) to diz~,cr staff to contact the County to ask for removal of the signs and not penalize any citizens inappropriatdy which was in conflict with the current recommendations of the Interim Cornmission on Solid Waste Management. Mayor Nader questioned whether it would be to the City's advantage to leave the sign up as it stated the surcharge would amount to a total of $62/ton. It would argue that the County could not charge any higher because they had put everyone on notice they would charge $62/ton. Minutes August 10, 1993 Page 9 City Attorney Boogaard felt the County would just put a new sign up at the time challenged. The new rate would go into effect 10/1/93. At that time everyone in the County would be paying $65/ton and the surcharge would have to be reset above that. He asked the Mayor to urge those residents doing self hauling to save their receipts. In the event the City was successful in defeating the surcharge, they could then submit the receipts to the County for reimbursement. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent.

Councilmember Moore stated it was his understanding that action had been taken in Closed Session at the 8/3/93 meeting and requested that a memorandum be distributed to Councilmembers any time they were not in attendance. 20. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Rindone: · Councilmember Rindone questioned whether the City was a member of the League of California Cities Executive Committee. He requested Council be advised if the Mayor was unable to attend so someone else could stand in for him. Mayor Nader responded that the City was a member.
