RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA TAKING A POSITION TO OPPOSE AB 3116 (CURRENTLY
INACTIVE) REGARDING STATE PRISON CONSTRUCTION
INCLUDING FACILITIES IN THE SOUTH BAY, AND AMENDING
THE LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM ACCORDINGLY
WHEREAS, AB 3116 would authorize the Department of Corrections to construct four
new medium and maximum security prisons and two new "reception centers" throughout the
state, including a new 2,500 bed (5,100 inmate) facility adjacent to Donovan State Prison on
Otay Mesa; and
WHEREAS, appropriation of funds would be contingent upon voter approval of a $2.6
billion prison bond measure in November; and
WHEREAS, construction and operation could provide economic stimulus to the region,
but with counterbalancing social, crime, and/or South Bay image impacts in connection with
the additional prison siting; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends opposition (and a related amendment to the Legislative
Program) in the interest of achieving a balance in prison locations within the County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby take a position to oppose AB 3116 (currently inactive) regarding additional state prison
construction including facilities in the South Bay, and amending the Legislative Program
accordingly to oppose the siting of additional prisons or other facilities when such siting would
have the effect of over-concentrating the detrimental impacts of those facilities in the South
Bay.
