RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROPRIATING $35,000 FOR INVESTIGATORS TO
CONDUCT LEGALLY REQUIRED DISCRIMINATION AND
HARASSMENT INVESTIGATIONS
WHEREAS, when an employee makes a claim of discrimination or harassment, it is not
only appropriate, but required by the City's General & Sexual Harassment Policy that an
investigation be conducted in as timely a manner as possible; and
WHEREAS, given that claims of discrimination and harassment may vary significantly
in complexity and scope, it is anticipated that the level of sophistication and independence
required in conducting investigations should vary; and
WHEREAS, while some claims can be investigated by City staff, others require an
outside investigator either because of the individual being investigated, the sensitivity of the
complaint, or the level of expertise and knowledge required; and
WHEREAS, no funds have been appropriated for that purpose in either the Human
Resources Department or the Attorney's current year budget, however, there is a current and
continuing need to spend funds on such investigations; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to appropriate ~35,000 to conduct discrimination and
harassment investigations in accordance with the General & Sexual Harassment Policy,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby appropriate $35,000 from the unappropriated balance of the General Fund into
Account 100-0250-5201.
