RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROPRIATING $11,500 FOR LEGAL EXPENSES
ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING LEGAL COUNSEL TO THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista Charter (Section 610.(b)) empowers the
power and requires the Civil Service Commission to:
Hear appeals of any person in the Classified Service related
to any suspension, demotion or dismissal.
WHEREAS, this duty necessitates the Commission to have legal counsel when
the employee is represented by an attorney and the Department is represented by
an attorney; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney's office represents the disciplinary authority
and therefore should refrain from advising the Civil Service Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Civil Service Commissioners require an attorney who has no
affiliation with the employee or the City to advise them on the legal aspects of
their responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, during the past year the number of disciplines have increased
substantially which has resulted in more appeals to the Civil Service Commission
creating the need for an estimated 92 hours of legal service which is available
at the rate of $125/per hour.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby appropriate $11,500 from the unappropriated balance of the
General Fund to be transferred into Account 100-0113-5201 for legal expenses
associated with providing legal counsel to the City of Chula Vista Civil Service
