RESOLUTION NO. 2004-007
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHUrA VISTA APPROVING THE REORGANIZATION OF
THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND
AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2004 BUDGET TO
REFLECT THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES
WHEREAS, demographic changes, market shifts and other influences are bringing about
population growth and renewed interest and need for revitalization and redevelopment in the
older, established western portion of the City; and
WHEREAS, the focus of planning and development activity has shifted to urban
development and new lifestyle choices resulting in the need for a larger role for the Community
Development Department; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department has been tasked, in addition to
the usual workload associated with redevelopment project entitlement and business retention and
attraction programs, to spearhead and accomplish several major Citywide goals, including
expansion of the Merged Redevelopment Area; preparation and implementation of the Urban
Core Specific Plan; completion of the Bayfront Master Plan, update of the City Housing Element
and formulation and implementation of updated affordable housing policies; and attraction of a
new, four-year institution of higher education; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department has evolved and restructured in
response to these new challenges and opportunities, further reorganization needs to occur in
order to provide more and better focus from Community Development Department staff; and
WHEREAS, the existing Community Development Middle Management and Chula Vista
Employees Association (CVEA) classifications reflect a pay-scale considerably lower than the
planning series and in many instances creates a discrepancy of Community Development staff
being paid less for a similar type and equal level of job responsibility; and
WHEREAS, reclassifications proposed by this reorganization will eliminate this
discrepancy; and
WHEREAS, the reorganization of the Community Development Department, addition of
three (3) new positions, and reclassifications for Community Development will provide
outstanding experience and resources in public policy, development planning, negotiation and
management necessary to accomplish department goals; and
WHEREAS, the reorganization will enable the Director to flexibly staff and to place
incumbents in the appropriate position based upon their knowledge and abilities at no loss to
their respective salaries, while allowing new opportunities for growth in their classification; and
WHEREAS, the reorganization as relates to the redevelopment arm of the department
will be able to work directly with any new entity formed through Council action on
redevelopment structures.
