(Community Development Director/Planning Director) Continued from the meeting of 6/22/93. Council/Agency member Fox stated he campaigned for the annexation of Montgomery into the City of Chula Vista. He had also been elected to serve on the Montgomery Planning Committee when ir did annex. He felt very strongly that Council should support permit streamlining in the City. However, he did not feel that Council should be supporting streamlining in every situation. There were cases that called for leaving things Minutes August 17, 1993 Page 2 _ the way they were. He further stated that in the original position papers, no where was it stated that this Committee would sunset. It was implied that the Committee would remain. M (FOX) to approve Option 1 to retain the MPC as it was originally established. Motion died for lack of a second. Mayor/Chair Nader stated that Mr. Fox had addressed the Montgomery side of the issue. There was also the Southwestern Project Area Committee side of the issue. He felt that we had an opportunity to do some streamlining and consolidation without breaking faith with the voters of Montgomery who voted to annex to the City of Chula Vista. He supported the concept of community planning groups. He recommended No. 4 under Exhibit A. This would say that as soon as the three-year period, which State law requires for the existence of the Southwest PAC was over the Commktee would be folded into the Montgomery Planning Committee. There would then be one combined Committee that would deal with the combined area of the Southwest PAC and the Montgomery Planning area. Council/Agency member Fox stated that after the PAC was terminated, you would have a Montgomery Planning Committee that could conceivably be composed of people who do not live in the area that was annexed into the City. He took the strict view that there was an implied promise to the people of Montgomery that they would have a community planning committee of their own. He felt that altho,~gh this was a good alternative, it was not what was promised to the people of Montgomery; he was not prepared to water that down. Council/Agency member Moore recommended Option 2 to dissolve the MPC and ask that the existing - SWPAC members vote to add the exiting MPC members to its committee. MS (HORTON/RINDONE) to support Option 2 to dissolve the MPC and ask that the exiting SWPAC members vote to add the existing MPC members to its committee. The committee would perform advisory functions to the Redevelopment Agency on Southwest projects only pursuant to Agency Resolution 1309. Mayor/Chair Nadec felt that the Southwest Project Area Committee did not encompass the entire Montgomery area, there would be areas of the Montgomery community that would be without representation. Regardless of what the minutes reflect, there were representations made that there would be planning representation following annexation. He suggested that the Attorney look at whether the community was entitled to some say in the dissolution of a committee. SUBSTITUTE MOTION: MS (NADERfFOX') to dissolve the Southwest Project Area Committee and merge it into one Southwest Community Planning Committee at the end of the year. Substitute motion failed 2-3 (Horton, Moore, Rindone voting no). VOTE ON MAIN MOTION: Approved 3-2 (Fox, Nader voting no). Council/Agency member Moore stated he would like to see correspondence sent over the Mayor's signature to both Committees asking the three members to accept appointment or election to the Southwest Project Area Committee and asking Southwest to review with staff the legal process and use those three to fill the vacancies if we can do so within legal restrictions. Mayor/Chair Nader asked for staffs assistance in preparing a letter along those lines to assure that it complied with any legal restrictions. Minutes August 17, 1993 Page 3 OTHER BUSINESS 4.
