CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF August -L�; 1972
Item Title: _ Ordinance - Amending Section 23. 1 of the Chula Vista City Code,
as Amended, by Adding Thereto Certain Provisions Relating to
� the Requirement of Special Plumber Gertification - First Reading
Initiated by : City Attorney
Aftached is ' a copy of Resolution [ ] Ordinance [ aJ Agreement [ ] Plat [ )
Background:
Recently, the City of Chula Vista has been sued by the Laborers International
Union in the Federal Court for violation of inter alia the 1964 Civil Rights
Act.
The grounds of the complaint were that since �}-e adopted this section of the
Uniform Plumbing Code, which required a plumber to be certified in addition
to being licensed, and since this certification had been applied in racially
discriminatory ways, the City of Chula Vista �vas perpetrating arbitrary
discrimination.
The Building Department has informed me that this certification is, as a
practical matter, never required and that if a plumber is licensed by the
'State, this is enough evidence that he is qualified.
In order to emphasize the fact that the City does not encourage racial dis-
crimination and in order to resolve this court action, these unimportant �
sections of the Uniform Plumbing Code, as adopted by the City Code, should
be amended accordingly.
