GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AGENDA Agenda Sections: CONSENT CALENDAR items are routine items that are not expected to prompt discussion. All items are considered for approval at the same time with one vote. Councilmembers and staff may request items be removed and members of the public may submit a speaker slip if they wish to comment on an item. Items removed from the Consent Calendar are discussed after the vote on the remaining Consent Calendar items. PUBLIC COMMENT provides the public with an opportunity to address the Council on any matter not listed on the agenda that is within the jurisdiction of the Council. In compliance with the Brown Act, the Council cannot take action on matters not listed on the agenda. PUBLIC HEARINGS are held on matters specifically required by law. The Mayor opens the public hearing and asks for presentations from staff and from the proponent or applicant involved (if applicable) in the matter under discussion. Following questions from the Councilmembers, the Mayor opens the public hearing and asks for public comments. The hearing is closed, and the City Council may discuss and take action. ACTION ITEMS are items that are expected to cause discussion and/or action by the Council but do not legally require a Public Hearing. Staff may make a presentation and Councilmembers may ask questions of staff and the involved parties before the Mayor invites the public to provide input. CLOSED SESSION may only be attended by members of the Council, support staff, and/or legal counsel. The most common purpose of a Closed Session is to avoid revealing confidential information that may prejudice the legal or negotiating position of the City or compromise the privacy interests of employees. Closed sessions may be held only as specifically authorized by law. Council Actions: RESOLUTIONS are formal expressions of opinion or intention of the Council and are usually effective immediately. ORDINANCES are laws adopted by the Council. Ordinances usually amend, repeal or supplement the Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances require two hearings: an introductory hearing, generally followed by a second hearing at the next regular meeting. Most ordinances go into effect 30 days after the final approval. PROCLAMATIONS are issued by the City to honor significant achievements by community members, highlight an event, promote awareness of community issues, and recognize City employees. 2021/09/14 City Council Agenda Addendum Published on 2021/09/13 Page 2 of 5 Pages 6.PUBLIC COMMENTS *6.1.Public Comments Received for 9/14/2021 4 2021/09/14 City Council Agenda Addendum Published on 2021/09/13 Page 3 of 5 From: Justin Akers Chacón <justinakers@cox.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2021 12:25 PM To: CityClerk <CityClerk@chulavistaca.gov> Cc: Justin Akers Chacón <justinakers@cox.net> Subject: Public Comment for tonight's Chula Vista City Council meeting Warning: External Email Hello City Clerk representative, I would like to submit the following electronic public comment to be read at tonight's Chula Vista City Council meeting. Hello, my name is Justin Akers and I live with my family at our home at 463 G Street here in Chula Vista. I have lived in this house and neighborhood for 11 years. I am submitting this comment to call attention to a dangerous situation that has emerged on this street, especially on the block between Fourth and Fifth Avenues where Chula Vista Middle School and Vista Square elementary school are located. For as long as I have lived here, many cars travel at high speeds down and up G street, especially between Fourth Avenue and Boradway Avenue. I have personally witnessed at least six accidents in the vicinity over the last decade. Fast-moving cars have hit residents pulling out of their driveways or collided with on-coming traffic at G and Fifth Avenue when they speed through the light. Most recently, the latter happened about 3 weeks ago resulting in multiple injuries. Before the pandemic, cars had regularly sped down the street as both schools were releasing children, causing great concern as many children cross these streets. Since the pandemic, with fewer students present, many drivers have taken to speeding down the street even more. In fact, people from the area sometimes race down the street in speeds reaching 60 mph. I have recorded some cars traveling at these speeds. Now that students are back in class, once again, I am dreading the danger posed to them by reckless drivers on this street. I am asking that the City please install speed bumps on G street in this area (especially along G and 4th and 5th streets) in the vicinity of these two schools. I fear that if there are not measures to slow down speeders in this area, something tragic is going to happen. Thanks for listening. Thank you, Justin Akers 463 G Street Chula Vista, CA 91910 2021/09/14 City Council Agenda Addendum Published on 2021/09/13 Page 4 of 5 James OCallaghsn has enter the following comment(s): Dear Mayor and Councilmembers on behalf of the South County Economic Development Council we thank you for your inspiring leadership with regards to ensuring our sustainable future through diversion programs in the waste and recycling realm.
