RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA OPPOSING AB 2225 REDEFINING THE MEANING OF
COMMITTEE OR SUBCOMMITTEE
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, AB 2225, which substantially extends the provisions
of the Brown Act, requires that all meetings of legislative bodies of
local agencies be open to the public, to committees or subcommittees
of such local agencies whether the committees or subcommittees are
composed of more or less than a quorum of such legislative bodies,
and
WHEREAS, the City Council, upon the advice of the Legislative
Subcommittee established for the purpose of examining legislation, has
concluded that serious question of possible violations of the Brown
Act could arise even though a less than quorum committee or subcommittee
would be unable to take any action whatsoever as a result of any dis-
cussions which they might endeavor, and
WHEREAS, such restriction goes far beyond the so-called
sterile meeting where a quorum meets, but does not or cannot by their
own rule take action and would in fact create serious problems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby urge the defeat of AB 2225, which would
hamper the conduct of public business and prevent essential studies
and restrain the activities of two-member subcommittees carrying out
investigative procedures.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of
Chula Vista be, and she is hereby authorized and directed to forward
certified copies of this resolution to the Chairman of the Assembly
Committee on Governmental Organization, Assemblyman Ralph, Assemblyman
Wadie P. Deddeh and all other members of the San Diego County Legislative
Delegation.
