RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA TO AMEND THE OTAY VALLEY REGIONAL
PARK JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT TO
REDUCE THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE CITIZENS'
ADVISORY COMMITTEE FROM 30 MEMBERS TO 21
MEMBERS AND TO PROVIDE AUTHORITY TO THE
POLICY COMMITTEE FOR FUTURE MEMBERSHIP
REVISIONS
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement
(JEPA), dated July 5, 2006, with the City of San Diego and the County of San Diego for the
planning and operation and maintenance of the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP); and
WHEREAS, the JEPA establishes a Policy Committee (PC) consisting of one elected
representative appointed respectively by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, the Chula
Vista City Council and the San Diego City Council that set the policies for the administration of
the JEPA including the resolution of any issues or disputes; and
WHEREAS, among other things, the JEPA establishes a CAC of 30 members appointed
by the PC with a quorum being 12 members; and
WHEREAS, both of these numbers have proved to be too high for the CAC to conduct
business pursuant to the quorum requirements of the Brown Act; and
WHEREAS, an amendment to the JEPA to reduce the number of members of the CAC
from 30 members to 21 members would assist in providing a quorum necessary for the CAC to
conduct business; and
WHEREAS, for administrative efficiency an amendment to the JEPA is proposed to
provide the PC the authority for future revisions to the CAC membership, by a majority vote,
without an amendment to the JEPA; and
WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the
activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because
it involves only a change in the OVRP Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) pertaining to
the number of members on the Citizen Advisory Committee and does not result in any changes
to the physical environmental; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA
Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the County of San Diego Boazd of Supervisors voted to approve the JEPA
amendment on July 11, 2012; and
Resolution No.2012-159

from 30 members to 21 members and to provide authority to the PC for future CAC membership
revisions, pursuant to the amendment in the form presented to the City Council, a copy of which
is on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
