RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ENCOURAGING THE
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO TO COMMENCE DISCUSSIONS REGARDING A
HOST COMMUNITY FEE
WHEREAS, the County of San Diego operates a solid waste landfill within
the territorial limits of the City of Chula Vista ("Otay Landfill"); and,
WHEREAS, landfills are not a desirable land use within a community
because they increase hereby truck traffic creating adverse wear and tear of
City streets and roads; contribute to traffic congestion, noise and air
pollution; deposit trash and garbage often containing toxic and hazardous
materials; create long term monitoring problems, create problems with
off-road, illegal dumping; removes productive land from other, environmentally
safer, less burdensome use; and generally creates an adverse image for the
City; and,
WHEREAS, during the 1990-1991 fiscal year budget review staff was
directed by the City Council to explore the possibility of additional revenues
that may be available to the City through the concept of host community fees
for adverse land uses; and,
WHEREAS, a monetary contribution {"Host Fee") from residents of
communities benefited by the Otay Landfill should be made to the City of Chula
Vista to help offset the adverse consequences of such a land use for hosting
the landfill and to provide financial incentives for communities to encourage
locating solid waste facilities within a community; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA DOES HEREBY
FIND, RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the City Council of the City of Chula Vista hereby
requests that the County of San Diego deliberate upon, and commence
discussions with the City of Chula Vista to institute on behalf of the City of
Chula Vista a Host Fee surcharge on the disposal of trash and garbage at the
Otay Landfill·
Section 2. That the City Clerk shall transmit a copy of this resolution
to the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego.
