BUSINESS'
3.A. RESOLUTION 18266 APPROVING CHULA VISTA DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION'S (DBA)
BUDGET--In accordance with the Chula Vista Municipal Code, the Chula Vista Downtown Association is required
to submit an annual budget for Council approval. The Council also reviews the Association's annual report
describing the District's past year's management activities and achievements. Staff recommends approval of the
resolution and accept the report. (Community Development Director)
B. REPORT CHULA VISTA DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION'S REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
TO FUND 1996 PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR DOWNTOWN
Para Buchanan, Principal Community Development Specialist, clarified that the item included the approval of the
Downtown Business Association budget which was funded through the business improvement district assessment.
Action did not authorize any funding from the city or the Agency. The second part of the item was the Downtown
Business Association request for supplemental funding from the Agency and city services to assist with three
promotional events in the downtown area. Staff recommended that the DBA's request be deferred to the FY 96/97
budget session.
· James Fergus, 355 Third Avenue, Chula Vista, CA, representing Board of Directors, Chula Vista Downtown
Business Association, requested that Council approve their request for funding for promotional activities and
circumvent the normal budget procedures. The DBA budget was presently in it's fifth month as they were out of
sync with the city's budget cycle. They were planning for events through the end of 1996 and needed to know what
support they would receive from the city. The events were the Farmer's Market, 7th Annual Third Avenue
Festival, and 34th Annual Starlight Yule Parade.
Chair/Mayor Horton questioned how the DBA would handle the situation next year.
Mr. Fergas responded that it may be necessary to work with the city to adjust their budget schedule to coincide with
the city.

Member Rindone felt the request was reasonable because the business owners had also made corrmaitments for the
three activities. It was also a significant commitment to offer to adjust their budget cycle to coincide with the city.
Therefore, he would support the request.
MS 01indone/Horton) to approve the $10,020 from city public services and RDA funding for $15,103 with
the understanding that in subsequent years there would be an adjushnent of the DBA budgetary cycle to
coincide with the city,
Member Alevy noted that the proposal included requests for two separate radio buys at $1,000/each. He did not
feel that it would be effective and hoped that the DBA could find another use for the $2,000.
Member Padilla questioned if staff was concerned regarding the potential budget impacts.
Mr. Goss responded that the budget was extremely tight and the Council would be looking at some major cuts and
perhaps revenue enhancements. He felt it was helpful to have everything before Council at one time when making
those decisions.
Member Moot questioned if there was a way to fund the DBA for 'A of the year and consider the remaining request
during the budget process. That would bring them on cycle with the city's budget process.
Chair/Mayor Hor~n felt the DBA needed to be able to plan for the events and know whether the funding would
be there. They were projects with a lot of community benefit and she could not see the Council not supporting
those events,
Member Padilla stated he did not have a problem in taking the request out of sync on a one time basis provided that
the DBA was willing to amend their budgeting schedule. He was concerned with the history of city subsidy for
project oriented events, would the city be looking at funding a larger part of those events in the future, and was that
appropriate.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved unanimously.
