Cancelled Agenda Item No. 2(A) Review of Negative Declaration for
IS-91-50B and Item No.3, Final Adoption of SRRE and HHWE.
1. Athena Bradley presented the resolution accepting a County of
San Diego Program Grant to expand Chula Vista's Business Recycling
Outreach Project. It is noted that on Page 5, para. 1, the date
should be changed to July 1993. After clarification of a few
items, it was MSUP (Hall/Myers) to recommend adoption of the
resolution; motion passed 4-0.
2. The resolution approving agreement with County for the City's
Household Hazardous Waste Education Project was presented by Athena
Bradley. Corrections noted: Page 1, paragraph 2 under Background,
the following was deleted: "most of which ends up at the Otay
landfill." Page 14, No.6, line 1 should be "...the County's HHMP
program..." After a brief discussion, it was MSUP (Myers/Hall) to
recommend adoption of the resolution; motion passed 4-0.
3. A discussion was held on the report regarding proposed
commercial, industrial and mUlti-family recycling program. Hall's
commented on: limiting permits on commercial recycling; monitoring
fee; collection by geographic areas for multi-family; diseased
trees and plants should not be recycled into.. the fresh greens
collections. Correction on Page 1, para. 4, delete the second
"that" in line 5.
Clarification given on comments from Myers regarding: the multi-
family versus single family recycling collection bins; use of
recycling stickers for collection; Laidlaw's handling of single
family waste and mUlti-family collection still out for bid; noted
that recycling is still on a volunteer basis at this time.
Kracha suggested changing the title name to include "greens".
Athena noted that "industrial" was already replaced with the new
title being "Commercial, Greens and Multi-Family Recycling
Program. " Further suggestions: permi t be issued for at least
three years for competitive bidding rather than two; Page 4, No.1
under Al ternati ve Optibns, reword to possibly read: "there would be
no competition between haulers after the bid. . . "; Page 5, Paragraph
,
.
Page 2
1 is unclear and too wordy; Page 5, No.2, the geographical areas
be split differently with only one hauler; Page 9, one bidder to do
all the hauling; in favor with the pilot project.
Athena stated a final draft of this proposal will be redone and
sent to commissioners. Comments should go directly to her for
presentation to the council at its next meeting.
It was then moved and seconded (Hall/Kracha) to recommend
acceptance of the proposed recycl ing report. An amendment was made
(Myers/Ghougassian) that there not be additional haulers than what
is presently in existence to single family residential areas;
motion failed 1-3 (Aye: Myers; Nos: Kracha, Ghougassian, Hall). A
vote was taken on the original motion; motion failed 3-1 (Ayes:
Kracha, Ghougassian, Hall; No: Myers).

National University/LCP Amendment No. 11. After a brief discussion
on the proposal and conditional use permit on this item, it was

Negative Declaration; motion failed 3-1 (Ayes: Hall, Ghougassian,
Kracha; No: Myers).
