CITY LIABILITY INCURRED DUE TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING
PERMITS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby

the cost to the taypayers for liabilities incurred due to issu-
ance of building permits could unquestionably bankrupt a great
many cities, and
WHEREAS, for municipalities to protect themselves from
such liabilities, it would be necessary to hire an inspector for
each job covered by a building permit.

the City of Chula Vista does hereby go on record as strongly
opposing Senate Bill 874 and urges its defeat.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City
