RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING BALLOT ARGUMENT IN FAVOR
OF PROPOSITION TO AMEND CITY CHARTER SECTION
1201 AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN IT ON
BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, an election with regard to the proposed
amendment of City Charter Section 1201 has been consolidated with
the Election to be held on November 3, 1987, and
WHEREAS, it is desirable that the City Charter be
amended to simplify the process for granting of a franchise by
the City Council, and
WHEREAS, the City Clerk is required to select an
argument for and an argument against municipal ballot
propositions, and is required to give preference and priority to
the legislative body or member or members of the legislative body
authorized by that body in the selection of said arguments for
and against ballot propositions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does resolve as follows:
1. That the following argument in favor of ballot
proposition is approved:
"Under current law, the City must follow an
expensive and time-consuming procedure to grant a
franchise.
The purpose of the existing Charter provision is to
make the public aware of the terms and conditions of
proposed City franchises and obtain public input on
those terms and conditions. This goal is achieved
by the existing requirement that the Council first
adopt a Resolution of Intention to grant a
franchise, setting forth the proposed terms and
conditions. This Resolution of Intention must be
adopted at a public meeting of the Council in the
context of an agenda item of which the public is
given notice and an opportunity to give input,
before the Resolution of Intention is adopted. This
process results in two meetings at which the terms
and conditions can be considered. However, if the
Council changes those terms and conditions, the
current Charter requires two more meetings to grant
the franchise.
It is wasteful and inefficient to require two more
meetings in order to grant a franchise. A "yes"
vote will eliminate this wasteful procedure while
preserving the value of public input."
2. That the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is
authorized to sign said argument in favor of the ballot
proposition on behalf of the City Council and forward the same to
the City Clerk for placement on the ballot.

D. Richard Rudolf, As~tant City Attorney
