RESOLUTION NO. 5830
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA, SUPPORTING THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, AS
PROPOSED AND ENDORSED BY THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA
CITIES AND THE COUNTY SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, representatives of the League of California Cities
and the County Supervisors Association of California have heretofore
formulated and agreed upon guidelines to follow in the formation and
operation of agencies to deal with regional problems such as the
quality of the environment, transportation, parks and recreation,
disposal of waste and maintenance of water quality, and
WHEREAS, these regional problems transcend the existence
of governmental boundaries and should be solved on a cooperative
basis by the elected officials of cities and counties within logical
regional areas, and
WHEREAS, a task force of mayors, city councilmen and county
supervisors representing the League of California Cities and the
County Supervisors Association of California have agreed upon the
following policy statement with regard to said problems:
1. The creation of regional organizations, which also may
be known as Councils of Government (COGS), should be man-
dated by statute.
2. The regional organizations so created must reflect the
varying nature of problems of regional significance and
political and economical characteristics of different
regions within the state.
3. In order for a regional organization to retain local
responsiveness and public visibility, the governing body
of such a regional agency shall be composed entirely of
locally elected officials. The various sub-units of the
regional agency would not necessarily have to contain
1008 locally elected officials. Rather, these could be
a blend of city, county, state and federal officials,
plus such public members and special district representa-
tives as an individual regional organization deems appropriate.
4. Regional organizations shall be authorized to assume
limited powers and functions with reference to the operation
of regional services.
5. The regional organizations shall be granted such regula-
tory and taxing powers as necessary to carry out the regional
functions.
6. The regional organizations shall provide a planning and
federal and state grant review service.
7. The regional organizations shall serve as the "umbrella"
organization for agencies established for regional purposes;
the regional organizations shall be empowered to appoint
new regulatory agencies as the need arises. Agencies so
created should be sub-units of the regional organization.

8. All state and federal agencies having regional responsi-
bilities should be required to coordinate with the regional
organization,
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista has
reviewed said guidelines and policy statement and concurs with the
concept set forth therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby support the Council of Governments,
as envisioned and formulated by the League of California Cities and
the County Supervisors Association of California.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of
Chula Vista be, and she is hereby directed to forward certified copies
of this resolution to the League of California Cities, the County
Supervisors Association of California, and the Board of Supervisors
of the County of San Diego.
