This proposition would amend Article VI, Section 602 authorizing the City Council to appoint
with a four-~fth's vote non-electors of the City of Chula Vista advisory boards whose duties
involve regional issues. This would allow the City Council to appoint non-resident individuals
with specialized expertise on regional issues to advisory boards when it is in the best interests of
the City to do so. This measure has no fiscal impact.

REGIONAL ISSUES?
The Environmental Legacy Fund and the Bayfront Conservancy Trust met on April 27,2000 and
made a recommendation to restructure the Bayfront Conservancy Trust organization to more
closely resemble a City board and commission. Currently, the membership of both the
Environmental Legacy Fund and Bayfront Conservancy Trust consists of individuals from a
variety of governmental agencies and scientific and educational communities. Under the
proposed reorganization, the Bayfront Conservancy Trust is proposing to dissolve as a non-profit
organization and become an advisory board of the City. The Environmental Legacy Fund would
continue as the Nature Center's fundraising organization in a modified form. In order to retain
individuals with the same qualifications on a City-created board, it would be necessary to give
the Council the ability to appoint non-residents when required. This change may also address
the desires of the Library Board of Trustees to include members from surrounding communities
as appropriate. The Charter Review Commission unanimously recommended this change.
