CITY ATTORNEY BUDGET TO FUND THE POSITIONS OF
PARALEGAL AND INVESTIGATOR USING EXISTING CITY
ATTORNEY BUDGET RESOURCES
WHEREAS, in 2019 the City established the Neighborhood Protection Unit (NPU) and
hired the first City Prosecutor to address illegal cannabis businesses operating in Chula Vista and
to prosecute violations of its Municipal Code, along with related state law offenses, as criminal
misdemeanors; and
WHEREAS, the positions of Paralegal and City Attorney Investigator classifications
have been created and approved by the City Council during the budget process to provide
necessary support to the NPU; and
WHEREAS, the positions of Paralegal and City Investigator are necessary now to
support the prosecution of the increased number and more complex illegal marijuana business
cases; and
WHEREAS, once the illegal marijuana business problem has been addressed, the NPU
will be able to work closely with the Police Department, Code Enforcement, and the District
Attorney’s Office to address other lower level, but still important, neighborhood crime and
disorder conduction that violate the City’s Municipal Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista, that it amends the Fiscal Year 2019/2020 City Attorney budget to fund the positions of
Paralegal and Investigator using existing City Attorney budget resources.
