Tremendous disruption of traffic patterns b Drunken and disruptive behavior in the parking lots and inside the stadium. c. Empty bldg for long periods attracts vandalism, graffitti and maybe illegian aliens 3) Thousands of CV residents have spent millions of dollars to buy a home to enjoy the quiet suburban way of life in CV. A football stadium is inconsistent with a suburban way of life. 4) A stadium on our bay front would adversely affect the favorable development of our bayfront 5) Most objective, professional analyses of sports stadiums reveal that most do not yield a surplus of revenues over total costs to the host city. SO...DO EVERYONE A FAVOR AND RETIRE THE STADIUM COMMITTEE.

City Manager Jim Sandoval gave a presentation on the history of the Chargers stadium process in Chula Vista. He explained that there are two sites the city is currently considering; the bayfront site where the South Bay Power Plant currently stands, and the Otay site in eastern Chula Vista. He specified that the City is not looking at the Gaylord hotel site. He also made clear that whatever site the City were to pursue, it would be voted on by the people of Chula Vista. He also specified that no General Fund money would go to subsidize the stadium. Mr. Sandoval explained that in previous Council discussions it was agreed that the stadium process shou ld: 1 Include Extensive Public Input 2. Have Extensive Public Review of its Design 3. Not Involve Existing City of Chula Vista General Fund Monies (new monies generated by the project may possibly be used as an incentive) .4. Not Create Either Short or Long-Term Fiscal Deficits to the City 5. Identify Environmental Impacts and Provide Appropriate Mitigation Measures 6. Identify Financial Impacts and Benefits to Chula Vista 7. Blend in with the Character of the Community Page 1 8. Give Attention to the Area Surrounding the Stadium Complex 9. Not be Detrimental to the Bayfront Master Plan 10. Not be Detrimental to the Future University Master Plan 2. Deputy Mayor McCann thanked Mr. Sandoval for the background on the stadium sites, and introduced San Diego Chargers Representative Mark Fabiani. Mr. Fabiani begun by explaining the three principles that the Chargers have stated in regards to a Chula Vista stadium: 1. This will be a privately financed facility. The Chargers will not request public funding from the City of Chula Vista. 2. No stadium will be approved without a public vote. 3. There will be a thorough environmental review. Mr. Fabiani explained that the one major issue stopping progress from moving forward is the South Bay Power Plant. He said the Chargers would like to know a firm date for when the power plant will be dismantled. But he reiterated that the Chargers are not at a point where they are going to put a deadline on the project. 3. Deputy Mayor McCann thanked Mr. Fabiani and introduced Assistant City Manager Scott Tulloch. Mr. Tulloch introduced Michael Meacham, Chula Vista's Director of Conservation & Environmental Services. Mr. Meacham gave a Power Point presentation on the South Bay Power Plant's status. PUBLIC COMMENTS Thirteen individuals spoke to the Subcommittee during the public comments section. CLOSING COMMENTS BY SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS Mr. Castaneda said that it is good for the City to have open public discussion about a project the size of a football stadium and pointed out that when the City Council voted to create its subcommittees earlier in the year, openness and public input was the purpose and goal. He reiterated that no matter what, it will be a public vote that will ultimately decide the issue of a stadium in Chula Vista Mr. McCann thanked everyone for coming to the meeting and agreed with Mr. Castaneda's comments about the need for public input in this process.
