and now is the time to make changes in order to save costs, and since it may be necessary to widen the
improvements to accommodate a proposed project on the south side of the river (MCA project), staff has been
working with the contractor to make minor changes to accommodate the widening and is negotiating the change
order. Staff recommends Council accept the report and direct staff to continue negotiating with the contractor and
return to Council with a final report and change order in September 1995. (Director of Public Works)

ACTION ITEMS
9. RESOLUTION 18005 APPROVING THE AMENDED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
(MOU) WITH THE CALIFORNIA BUSINESS INCUBATOR NETWORK (CBIN) AND THE RELATED
SUBCONTRACT BETWEEN THE CALIFORNIA BUSINESS INCUBATOR NETWORK AND BUSINESS
CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT - The proposed amendments and related subcontract will update the existing MOU
contract to reflect revised benchmarks and timeframes and to provide for performance and regulatory compliance
accountability. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Community Development) Council
action is necessary on this resolution prior to Council action on the following item.
Councilmember Moot questioned if Items 9, 10A, 10B, and 10C could be discussed at the same time.
Cheryl Dye, Economic Development Manager, responded that all the items were directly related and Council may
want to take action concurrently.
Mr. Googins felt based on the way it was presented on the agenda that Item 9 should be addressed first.
Councilmember Moot requested that staff review the first option regarding the hiring of staff and why it was less
preferable.
Ms. Dye responded that it was a City program funded via funds received by the City. The City was directly
responsible for performance and regulatory compliance. In order for the City to spend EDA monies there were two
options: 1) enter into a contract for services as had been done for the Technology Center with Southwestern College;
or 2) administer the program directly. In order to do the latter it would require City staffing. It was budgeted that
the incubator would be handled under a contract for services. There was an existing MOU with California Business
Incubator Network (CBIN) and Business Cluster Development which was under a different set of circumstances
prior to receiving EDA funds. In working with them it was staffs experience'that the existing agreement should
be focused on fund raising, facility fit-up, tenant solicitation, and general advisory services. Staff felt it would not
be appropriate for CBIN to do the day to day supervision. Therefore, staff recommended that the existing
agreement be amended to focus on those activities and that the City take over the direct administration. That would
put the BEBC Manager and BEBC Administrative Assistant under the City BECA Director. That would help to
ensure that all the EDA requirements were adhered to.

Councilmember Moot questioned if CBIN was not structured in such a manner that they could deal with the
regulatory requirements.
Ms. Dye replied that CBIN was the advocacy group fbr incubators across the State and their focus had primarily
been to act as a catalyst to encourage the start-up of incubators and to assist in that process. That was the purpose
for which the City originally entered into a MOU with them. Staff considered extending that to have an agreement
that would cover all the EDA requirements, but staff did not feel that was their expertise.
Councilmember Moot questioned if CBIN raised any concerns regarding the City hiring two of their employees to
run the program.
Ms. Dye stated there had been on-going negotiations and at times concerns had been expressed. An agreement had
been reached and CBIN and Business Cluster Development had signed the agreement. There had been a great deal
of discussion with CBIN and their employees about how the transition would occur. A letter of intent had been
drafted which the employees had signed which stated they were fully aware of the terms and conditions of
employment with the City, i.e. the same title, same job description, and same salary range. They did go through
the City's recruitment and hiring process.
Councilmember Rindone stated there were two options for City employment, i.e. hired the next day or retroactive
to 7/1/95. He questioned if the employees would have to meet the same hiring standards and requirements for all
new City employees.
Ms. Dye responded that the City was very involved in the recruitment and hiring. The Personnel Department
oversaw the development of the job descriptions, advertising, and formation of the interview panel. The candidates
were forwarded to the Director of Community Development for input on final selection, In order for them to be
hired they would have to have physicals and the BEBC Manager would have to take a quantitative analysis test and
both would have to go through the City orientation.
Councilmember Rindone stated it could not be retroactive because they would have to meet the conditions of
employment for the City and once they complied with those requirements their hiring could then proceed. He
questioned the conditions of the EDA grant and status of the employees if the grant was not continued after the grant
period.
Ms. Dye responded the funding was spread over 34 months. The employees would be hired as unclassified
employees or "at will. employees. It was also stipulated in the ordinance creating the two unclassified positions
that the positions were for the term of the grant only. The intent was to form a non-profit organization and continue
the program on indefinitely in one form or another.
Councilmember Alevy stated the budget for two employees was $I06,000 and questioned if it included benefits.
Ms. Dye stated it was total costs of salary and benefits. It was the same salary the employees were currently
receiving from CBIN. The fringe benefits were higher with the City. The Manager was equivalent to a Principal
Community Development Specialist and the Administrative Assistant was equivalent to an Administrative Office
Specialist II.

OIq~ERED BY COUNCILMEMBER RINDONE, reading of the text was waived.
Councilmember Moot questioned the need to purchase new equipment for the employees versus utilization of used
equipment.
Ms. Dye stated there was no existing equipment available for the employees.
Mr. Morris informed Council that most of the equipment would be computer equipment and there were no additional
computers available within the City.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved unanimously.
11. RESOLUTION 18008 APPROVING THE COMPOSITION OF THE INTERIM ADVISORY
BOARD AND APPROVING IN CONCEPT THE PROPOSED COMPOSITION OF THE FULL BORDER
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMERCE ALLIANCE (BECA) ADVISORY BOARD - BECA has immediate need
for an Interim Advisory Board to guide Community Development/BECA staff in the early stages of project
implementation. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Director of Community Development)
Cheryl Dye, Economic Development Manager, introduced the new BECA Director, Jeff Bogart.
Mayor Horton questioned if it would be appropriate for Council to appoint an alternate on the Interim Advisory
Board.
Ms. Dye felt it would be appropriate.
Councilmember Rindone stated except with one exception all the members of the Task Force that had worked on
the project for two years to help create the alliance had been excluded from the Advisory Board. He questioned
why they had been excluded.
Ms. Dye responded there would be opportunity when the permanent Board was established. In terms of the Interim
Board, it included sponsors, SAIC which had been involved from the inception although not formally appointed to
the Task Force, EBI which had been a consultant and involved with the Task Force, and SDG&E which was

currently working with the City to become a sponsor and donate funds. Staff also took into consideration
representation from local governmental jurisdictions and that was why South County EDC had be~n included
(support had been received from Imperial Beach, National City, City of San Diego, and County of San Diego).
There needed to be representation from the City's partner, San Diego Adjustment Program which was the other
EDA funded regional economic program which was represented by the San Diego Technology Council. A non-
profit environmental group had also been included which was the U.S./Mexico Border Progress Foundation. There
was also a representative from the academic community, UCSD which had been working with the Task Force. She
felt Councilmember Rindone's comments were well taken and it would be looked at during the freTnation of the final
board. Council had directed staff to ensure that there was heavy private sector involvement.
Councilmember Rindone questioned the purpose of the permanent Advisory Board. The current proposal for the
permanent Advisory Board included 30 members and he did not feel that was realistic or workable.
Ms. Dye replied the purpose of the Board would be to work with staff to help implement the program, help staff
to develop policies for recommendation to Council for the program, act as a conduit to other service providers
throughout the region to leverage resources and coordinate programs, play a major role in marketing and attracting
major resources to the program, and lending credibility to the program. The list presented was a starting point and
included the categories of partners staff felt should be included. The San Diego Technology Council had a very
~argebeardanduti~izedc~mmitte~swithm~stacti~ntakingp~a~ewithinasma~Iexecutive~~mmittee~ Staffwanted
to analyze those options and return with recommendations.
Councilmember Rindone stated he was reluctant due to the number of members on the Advisory Board. With such
a large number members did not have the "buy in" required to make a successful board. He looked forward to
seeing the staff recommendations and felt the recommendation for the Interim Board was acceptable. He felt
representation from the small environmental businesses was lacking and that it would send a message that the City
was not interested in small companies.
Ms. Dye stated the Interim Board included the Greater San Diego Chamber of Commerce and the individual being
recommended represented a two person firm. Staff also wanted to see an environmental company in the Southbay
represent the South County Economic Development Council. The permanent Board included an environmental dry
cleaner and a recyeler, both small businesses. Staff would review the general representation.
Councilmember Moot volunteered as the alternate for the Council on the Board
RESOLUTION 18008 OFFERED BY MAYOR HORTON, reading of the text was waived. Councilmember

Services and Education; representative of South County Economic Development Council (EDC); representative
of San Diego Technology Council; and Linda Pratt, San Diego County Department of Environmental
Health/Pollution Prevention.
Councilmember Rindone stated he would vote for the resolution because it specifically addressed the Interim Board
and concept and he was comfortable with that. He did not want his "yes" vote to be misunderstood as support for
the size of the permanent Board.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved unanimously.
12.A. RESOLUTION 18009 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF LEMON GROVE
REGARDING THE PROVISION OF ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES IN LEMON GROVE, AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT - The Police Department, through its
Animal Regulation Division, provides animal regulation services for the cities of Chula Vista, National City, and

OTHER BUSINESS
13. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT(S)
a. Scheduling of meetings. Mr. Morris stated staff needed additional direction regarding the amphitheater
tour scheduled for Saturday, September 23rd.
Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, stated it appeared that Council and staff would only be able
to tour two facilities in one day. He then reviewed the five facilities within the area that could be toured: 1) Irvine
Meadows Amphitheater, 2) Pacific Amphitheater, 3) Greek Theater, 4) Universal Amphitheater, and 5) Glen Helen
Pavilion. He recommended that Council tour the Glen Helen Pavilion with the Greek Theater or Pacific
Amphitheater as the second choice. The Glen Helen Pavilion was most like the two proposals for the City, i.e.
large out door state-of-the-art amphitheater. The Greek Theater was small but was run by Nederlander and had
plays which the Glen Helen Pavilion did not have. The Pacific Amphitheater had experienced problems with sound
impacts, traffic impacts, litigation, operational problems, etc. He felt it would be a 10 hour day. If Council wanted
to tour the Greek Theater and Universal Amphitheater it would require less time and Council would be talking to
a Nederlander and MCA facility.
Councilmember Alevy suggested that Council tour th~ Glen Helen Pavilion first and then the Greek Theater, if time
permitted they could tour the Pacific Amphitheater on the way back as an alternate. That would afford Council the
ability to see a facility of comparable size and then tour facilities of both developers.
Mayor Horton stated she had requested that staff invite the Planning Commission on the tour.
Minutes
August 22, 1995
Page 8
Mr. Salomone informed Council that the Chair of the Planning Comnfission would be on the tour and he would
speak to the other members regarding their attendance.
Councilmember Rindone stated the Planning Commission would be hearing the request the first week of September
and they may want to take a tour prior to hearing the proposals. He was concerned that if Council toured a facility
operated/owned by one of the developers and not the other that it would be mis-read as providing undue influence.
He felt Council should tour the Glen Helen Pavilion due to the sirailarity of the facilities and then tour the Greek
Theater and Universal Amphitheater because they were the other two operators. Due to their proximity to each
other he felt there could be time to include both. Council could also travel the night before if necessary.
Mayor Holton did not feel the Universal Amphitheater (MCA facility) would be similar to anything proposed for
the City. The proposal by Nederlander would have theatrical plays and she wanted to see the difference between
the two amphitheaters because she was not familiar with how they would be different. Council was not looking at
companies, but different types of facilities that might be located within the community.
Councilmember Alevy stated whichever of the two proposals approved, the City was guaranteed one of the two best
companies. He did not see it as an issue of Nederlander versus MCA. There were other issues regarding location,
EIR's, etc. that had to be reviewed by Council. He felt Pacific Amphitheater was no longer an amphitheater
because it was enclosed. The Greek Theater would be similar in shape and share the same environmental concerns
because it was located in the middle of a park. The Glen Helen Pavilion would be similar in size. He felt Irvine
Meadows might be better to tour than the Pacific Amphitheater which was located in the nfiddle of a fair grounds.
Councilmember Padilia felt it important to look at the designs and utility of the facilities so Council would
understand their options and what they wanted to bring into the City. Including a building/operator was an
important consideration. If possible, he wanted to tour a facility either built or operated, or both, by both the
developers with projects before the City. Council needed to see what they did and how they did it.
Mayor Horton stated that would be a good idea if MCA had a comparable facility in close proximity to San Diego.
They were two of the best operators in the country and that was not the issue. Council would be looking at the type
of facility that would be housed in the community.
MSC (Horton/Alevy) to set the tour for Saturday, September 23rd and include the Planning Commission
members. Council would tour the Glen Helen Pavilion first, the Greek Theater second, and if time allowed,
tour Irvine Meadows on the route back. Approved 4-1 with Rindone opposed.
b. Mr. Morris stated staff had coordinated a forum for the affordable housing program for the EastLake
planned community. The forum was scheduled for 8/30/95 at EastLake High School at 7:00 p.m.
14. MAYOR'S REPORT(S)
