NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby authorize the construction of a pipe gate and additional posts to prevent vehicular access on City property in the D Street/First Avenue area. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City staff is hereby directed to remove the illegal fences immediately. Presented by Approved as to form by J~n P. Lippitt Ann Y.
