RECOMMENDATION That the Sustainability Commission and Healthy Chula Vista Advisory Commission recommend ADOPT the resolution. II. BACKGROUND The City of Chula Vista adopted the Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan in January 2016 inclusive of strategies to increase healthy food options and overall wellness. At this time staff is bringing forward a Council Policy to adopt healthy food and sustainable measures to all internal and city sponsored events where food is being served through a Healthy and Sustainable Meeting Policy. The policy will also apply to any agencies utilizing meeting space at City Hall or Public Works. III. DISCUSSION Policy Jurisdictions are becoming increasingly aware that cities play a critical role in supporting the health and well-being of their communities. Factors contributing to a community's health can include walkable neighborhoods, quality parks and open space areas, efficient transportation, and safe, clean environments. As such, the Chula Vista City Council reiterated the importance of creating a healthy community in adoptingthe Chula Vista Strategic Plan in 2013 and subsequent Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan in January 2016. Over the past few years, the City has also been implementing its multi -department Healthy Chula Vista initiative, which focuses on integrating public health considerations across municipal capital projects, plans, and services. In order to provide healthy and sustainable options throughout the City many initiatives have been put into place such as updated smoking policies to prohibit tobacco use and reduce litter on all city facilities and updating vending machines to ensure energy efficiency and healthy snack and beverage options are being provided. Access to healthy food options is not only important for maintaining Item No. 5 November 1, 2019 Page 2 health but critical for those that have special dietary and nutritional needs. In order to provide employees and visitors to the city with the best environment to thrive staff has developed a Healthy and Sustainable Meeting Policy and an associated toolkit for staff entitled "Putting Health on the Agenda", a draft of the toolkit will be shown at the November 6th meeting. The toolkit encourages staff and agencies utilizing certain city facilities to follow the guidelines for all internal and City sponsored events to: • Provide healthy food options; • Reduce food container, serving and utensil waste; • Identify ways to reduce paper and energy consumption; • Suggest healthy physical activity breaks; and • Encourage alternative meeting arrangements (e.g. carpooling, video conferencing). These measures are critical forthe cityto continue advancing both the Healthy Chula Vista Initiative and Climate Action Plan. Pilot Program In addition to the proposed policy, in partnership between the City of Chula Vista Office of Sustainability, the Chula Vista Employee Engagement Committee and Healthy Chula Vista, staff is currently developing a pilot program at City Hall to provide a reservable food ware kit. The kitwill be made up of plates, cups and utensils madefrom durable, convenient yet shatterproof material that is also recyclable and BPA -free. This waste prevention food ware kit will be available to reserve for meetings held at City Hall by employees or outside agencies, upon request, with attendance of up to 200 but will also be available for smaller meetings in increments of 25 attendants.

A key component of the plan included measures to provide access to healthy food, such as establishing procurement policies for Municipal Event Catering that promote healthy food options and sustainable practices to provide healthier food access and increase options to employees and residents at City facilities. The City of Chula Vista promotes healthy lifestyles and strives to create environments that support healthy food choices, regular physical activity, environmental sustainability and tobacco -free spaces. The strong relationship between diet, health and environment and the increasing rates of obesity, make supporting healthy choices at work part of our commitment to better health. Modeling healthy choices, especially for food and beverages purchased for all internal and external meetings, trainings, and events are vital to support healthier work spaces.
