6. RESOLUTION 17253 ADOPTING COUNCIL POLICY NUMBER 900-01 ENTITI.Rr~ 'DF-LRGATION
OF ALFI'HORITY TO IH~LF. ASE PROPERTY FROM AND CONSENT TO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF
RIGHTS UNDER DEVELOPMEgF AGRF. F. MENTS' - The purpose of the report is to streamline certain
transactional transfers related to development agreements. The action related to the establishment of a
Council policy will clarify and simplify administration of development agreements. Staff recommends
approval ofthe resolution. (Deputy City Manager Krempl) Continued from the meeting ofg/21/93. Pulled
from the Consent Calendar.
· Joseph W. Garcia, 484 Fifth Street, Chula Vista, CA, questioned whether the policy would impact
future development agreements. He stated the agenda stated "transfer related to existing development
agreements". He felt the resolution could impact some of the development agreements with the bayfront.
Sid Morris, Assistant City Manager, stated Mr. Garcia was looking at the summary on the agenda which was
incorrect. The actual resolution title did not state "existing' and would apply to all development agreements.
Mayor Nader felt that under some circumstances there should be some level of public review, in public, of
any assignment of rights under a development agreement. If it was felt that most of the agreements did not
require intensive Council scrutiny, perhaps there could be a mechanism that the Planning Commission could
have viewing authority with a right of appeal to the Council. He was not comfortable giving staff wholesale
authority to approve assignments of rights, under development agreements, without public review or
scrutiny.
George Krempl, Deputy City Manager, stated it was intended to deal with the development agreements for
EastLake and Rancho del Rey and staff did not have a concern with limiting the policy to those agreements.
Future agreements could specify the release provisions, or the authority therewith, in the context of the
agreements themselves. The Planning Commission was peripherally involved, they did look at the
agreements and forwarded them on to Council.
Counc~member Fox questioned whether the inclusion of "the Council would have the opportunity to place
the agreement on the agenda" would satisfy the Mayor's concerns.
Councilmember Moore questioned whether the City was only concerned with those agreements that allowed
a portion of the property to be released by the City from the obligations of the development agreement when
required public improvements were installed.
Mr. Krempl responded that was correct with regard to No. 1 of the policy. No. 2 addressed the potential
of transfer of assignments and obligations.
MS (Fox/Moore) to amend Resolution 17253, Item 3 of the Policy, to add 'The City Council members will
be provided an opportunity to request that the item be placed on the agenda*.
Mayor Nader stated it should be understood that if an item was placed on the agenda it had to be approved
by the Council before it could take affect.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved unanimously.
RESOLUTION 17253, AS AMENDED, Op'P'I~,D BY COUIqCII,MEMBER FOX, readillg of the text was waived,
passed and approved unanimously.

from the Consent Calendar.
· Carolyn F. J. Butler, 97 Bishop Street, Chula Vista, CA, requested that when the center was designed
there be enough room for the buses to maneuver safely. She was willing to work with staff.
Mayor Nader stated the resolution was setting a public hearing on October 26th for the item and requested
Mrs. Buffers comments be incorporated in the public hearing.
RESOLUTION 17260 O~ BY MAYOR NADER, reading of the text was waived.

MEDICAL SERVIf:~; FOR BASIC AND ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT AMBULANCE SERVICES - The City and
Hartson Medical Services CHartson) entered into the current agreement on 5/9/89. Under the auspices of
various agreements with the City, Hartson has been providing ambulance services since May 1979. The
proposed amendment to the agreement is based upon recent judicial mandates which cast a doubt upon the
City's authority to regulate non-emergency ambulance services. The proposed extension, which would be
effective until 4/30/97, is recommended based upon criteria enumerated within the existing agreement.
Staff recommends Council give direction to take no action to notify Hartson of intent to terminate and,
thereby, extend the agreement and approve the resolution. (Fire Chief)
· Sharon Henry, 9573 Chesapeake Drive, San Diego, CA, representing Hartson Medical Services, stated
they looked forward to an extension of the contract and hoped they had a long future with the City.
Councilmember Fox questioned what reimbursements the company received for 911 calls that were not
covered by insurance.
Ms. Henry responded that it was a complicated problem. Those who were insured and able to pay paid for
those who could not. The bad debt allowance was almost forty percent.
Councilmember Rindone questioned whether the purchase of Sterling Medical Transport had been
completed.
Ms. Henry stated they had assumed their assets and were running their calls, but there were still some legal
obligations that needed to be taken care oL There was no impact in Chula Vista as Hartson was the primary
provider.
RESOLUTION 17265 OFFERED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, reading of the text was waived. Staff
recommendation to take no action to notify Harmon of intent to terminate and, thereby extend the

17. REPORT ADULT PROGRAMMING ON CABLE TR. LRVISION - On 7/27/93, Council
directed staff to review with Cox Cable options for keeping sexually explicit television transmissions (audio
as well as video) out of the homes of subscribers who do not specifically request such programming. Staff
recommends Council review the policy alternatives and provide further policy direction regarding which
alternatives to pursue. (Administration)
· Steven Collins, 5333 Baltimore Drive #34, San Diego, CA, representing Cox Cable, stated he had
been working with staff for over a month to address the Mayor's/Council's concerns over the pay-for-view
adult programming. Customers had total control over the channels they received and watched and Cox was
committed to showing them how to delete any channels they did not want at a minimum cost and no
inconvenience. They were willing to offer customers the two box option and the use of the trap and were
beginning an on-going communications campaign. They recognized that the adult entertainment may be
offensive to some and they would continue to offer their customers a wide variety of choices and alternatives.
Councilmember Fox questioned if a consumer wanted to block out a channel if it would be at no cost.
Mr. Collins responded there would be a minimal cost to rent an addressable box or the basic box. There
would be no cost for the trap if the customer did not want the box.
Councilmember Rindone questioned whether any customer could request a trap. He further questioned how
many customers they had in San Diego County and how many had requested traps.
Mr. Collins responded that was correct. There were approximately 326,000 subscribers in San Diego County.
There were 200,000 subscribers that had received Spice since the first of July and to date, there had only
been seventeen requests for traps.
· Jack Hopkins, 1339 Mesa Grande Place, Chula Vista, CA, stated he was concerned that he would
be charged extra to keep something out of his home that he did not want.
Mayor Nader stated staff had presented Council with six alternatives for consideration. He did not feel the
issue was censorship as no member of the Council was seeking to prevent someone that wanted to view the
matetial from doing so. He was seeking to have it removed from the signal for those that did not want to
have it. He did not feel that customer requested blocking was enough.
MS (Nader/Fox} to approve staff recommendations. 1) Direct staff to request that Cox Cable and Chula Vista
Cable send information to their subscribers informing them how a channel with unwanted programming
can be blocked out (audio as well as video) by using the parental control device on their cable box ff they
have one, and how customers without a cable box (or for whom the parental control device is not a
satisfactory solution) may request that their cable company install a trap to permanen~y delete the channel
fxom the subscribers home at no cost or inconvenience to the subscn'ber. 2) Direct staff to include an article
in an upcoming C~ula V'mta quarterly newsletter sumrealizing for our residents the information indicated
in item number one above. 3) Authorize the Mayor to send a letter on behalf of the City Council to the
Federal Communications Comrnlnsion requesting the Fees assistance in requiring cable operaton to
completely block sexually explicit television transmissions from the homes of subscn'ben who have not
specifically requested such prngrammlng. 4) Direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution for
consideration by the General Resolutions Committee of the League of California Cities requesting legislative
action to require cable operators to completely block sexually explicit television transmissions from the
homes of subscn'bers who have not specifically requested such prngrarnming. 5) Authorize the Mayor to
Minutes
September 28, 1993
Page 7
send letters on behaff of the City Council to all of the other cities in San Diego County alerting their city
councils to this issue and requesting their assistance in publicizing this issue and in requesting their own
cable operators to implement methods of completdy blocking sexually explicit television Irar~ni~ions from
the homes of subscritics who have not specifically requested such programming. 6) Authorize the I~ayor
to sent a letter to Cox Cable on behaff of the City Council more formally requesting that Cox Cable
implement one of the three options described for completely blocking sexually explicit television
transmissions f~om the homes of subscribers who have not specifically requested such programming:. A) Cox
Cable reversing their system so that the Spice channel would automatically be completely blocked out unless
a customer specifically asked to have it unblocked; or B) Cox Cable providing every cable customer with a
decoder cable box at no cost to the customer who does not want the sexually explicit material; or C) Cox
cable scrambling the Spice channel audio as well as the video signal that is received through cable
connections that do not have decoder cable boxes.
Councilmember Moore felt there needed to be some level of scruples for businesses. The key was to block
the channel from the homes of subscribers that had not specifically requested the program. The burden
should be on the cable company and not the homeowner. He felt item 6A and 5 modified to advise other
cities in the County of Council's action would be appropriate.
Councilmember Fox stated he would strongly support the motion as he agreed that the subscriber should
not have to take action to prevent pornography from coming into homes. Subscribers should not have to
pay for that option.
VOTE ON MOTION: apprnved 4-0-0-1 with Rindone abstaining.

OTHER BUSINESS
18. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT(S)
a. Scheduling of meetings - no discussion.
b. Proclamation applauding the efforts of Cohen, Osio, Perman & Associates, Inc. to educate Chula Vista
merchants regarding cross-border marketing opportunities. Discussed under 19a.
19. MAYOR'S REPORT(S)
a. Sponsorship of seminar/tour to promote Chula Vista merchants' opponzunities in Mexico. Continued
from the meeting of 9/21/93. Mayor Nader stated the item was the same as Item b under the City
Manager's comments. An information memo had been sent to Council regarding the mutual understanding
reached among Cohen, Osio, Perman & Associates, the Mayor, and staff that a proclamation, in lieu of City
sponsorship, would suffice for their purposes to promote the event. The City A~torney felt that would not
present any liability issues for the City. Therefore, he had issued such a proclamation. A proclamation in
lieu of sponsorship would not entitle the City to any a cut of the revenues and he was uncertain as to
whether that was a concern to Council.
b. Opposition to Proposition 174. Mayor Nader stated it was clear from Mr. Worden's memo, in
addition to various other concems that would be expressed during the campaign that the initiative would
gut the local land use and zoning authority.

MS (Nader/Fox} to take a position in opposition to Proposition 174.
Councilmember Fox questioned if the Maker of the Motion would accept a Friendly Amendment which would
state the Council opposed the Proposition based on Mr. Worden's opinion. Agreed to by the Maker of the
Motion.
Councilmember Moore stated he had a problem with the motion. His legal advisor was the City Attorney
and not someone he did not know. He was not for or against the Proposition but the way it was being
handled. He felt it should have been an agendized item to allow for discussion. He was not ready to vote
on the issue.
Mayor Nader stated Mr. Worden did represent the City under special retainer. The City Attorney had advised
Council that he had looked at the opinion and agreed with it.
City Attorney Boogaard stated he supported the recommendation of Mr. Worden and that it did impinge on
the City's authority to plan and zone properly.
Councilmember Rindone stated he felt very strongly on the issue and that the discussion could be anywhere
from five minutes to two hours. He supported the motion but wanted to ensure that the concerns were not
restricted to Mr. Worden's opinion. He felt bringing back the item in proclamation form would be
appropriate.
City Attorney Boogaard stated he was prepared to respond to any questions regarding Mr. Worden's memo
on the loss of the authority the City would suffer just from the zoning and planning authority. The City
would be limited in their authority to zone schools as it pertained to classrooms.
Councilmember Moore stated the correspondence was dated 8/25/93 and further questioned where it went.
He questioned why an item of such importance had not been brought to Council sooner or reviewed through
the normal legislative procedure. He felt Council was at their best under the A113 system and at their worst
when they by-passed that system.
Mayor Nader stated the information had been given to him by a third party and passed on by him to the
City Attorney.
Sid Morris, Assistant City Manager, responded that in the past staff and Council had not taken a position
or addressed initiative or referendum items. It was his understanding there were limitations on the actions
that could be taken by Council on an item in an initiative form. Staff had been aware of the Proposition
but because Council had not taken action on such items in the past, it had not been brought forward to
Council.
Mayor Nader stated Council, in the past, had taken action on initiative items. Council typically did that
when a limitation on their ability to serve the public was implicated by the terms of the initiative, as
opposed to philosophical concerns of Councilmembers.
Councilmember Rindone stated staff should, whether it was an initiative process or another means, bring
an item to Council if it was not in the best interest of the Charter or the constituents. If there was a need
to make a recommendation it should be brought forth to Council.
VOTE ON MOTION AS AME/~ED: approved unanimously.
c. Report of upcoming expenditures. Mayor Nader stated the item was regarding upcoming travel
expenditures for the Japan/American Mayors' Conference ($786) in Sacramento on October 10-14 and the
League of California Cities Annual Conference ($1,596) in San Francisco on October 16-19 he was requesting
Council approval for.

MSUC (Fox/Horton) to approve the Mayor's request for ~ravel expenditures.
Councilmember Moore requested that the Mayor/Council secretary give the Council a breakdown of travel
for the fiscal year, i.e. what was spent, how it was spent, and what remained in the travel account. He felt
that should be routine and on a quarterly basis.
