RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA SUPPORTING AB 230 AND AB 1436, AND OPPOSING S
754, WHICH ARE NOT ADDRESSED IN THE LEGISLATIVE
PROGRAM AND REQUIRE DIRECT COUNCIL ACTION
WHEREAS, on February 7, 1995, the City Council adopted the 1995-96 Legislative
Program; and,
WHEREAS, although this program was intended to provide comprehensive direction to
the Legislative Committee on the City's legislative priorities, there are certain issues which are
reserved for direct action by the Council; and,
WHEREAS, the following three pending bills, which under the City's current legislative
policy are specifically required to be addressed by Council, are not addressed in the Legislative
Program; and
1. AB 230 (Tucker) EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES: FUNDING would establish a
voluntary surcharge on intrastate telephone calls, in part to reimburse non-transporting
agencies (e.g. fire departments) which provide first-responder medical assistance.
2. AB 1436 (Burton) HEALTH COVERAGE: FIRST RESPONDER SERVICES would add first
responder services for "initial medical stabilization" to the services which are to be
reimbursed by state-licensed insurance carriers.
3. S 754 (Kennedy) IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT would establish border
crossing fees of $1.50 for vehicles and $0.75 for pedestrians.
WHEREAS, based on the potential fiscal benefit to the city through reimbursement of
fire department costs, the Legis-lative Committee is recommending that Council take a
position to support AB 230 and AB 1436 and oppose S 754.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby support AB 230 and AB 1436 and oppose S 754 and direct the Legislative Committee
to send letters as appropriate.
