WHEREAS, Government Code section 54221(b)(1) requires the Council to take
formal action at a regular public meeting to declare the Property surplus land or exempt
surplus land, as supported by written findings, before the City may take any action to dispose
of the Property; and

and facilitating community programs aimed at promoting responsible pet ownership; and
WHEREAS, if the City exchanges the Property with the adjacent property owner, the
Property will be exempt surplus land pursuant to California Government Code section

exchange of the Property, does not require that the City exchange the Property, nor does it require
that such a Real Property Exchange Agreement contain any specific term or condition; and
WHEREAS, a declaration that the Property is exempt surplus land is contingent upon the
City’s exchange of the Property with the adjacent property owner pursuant to the Real Property
Exchange Agreement, and if for any reason the City does not exchange the Property, the Council
does not intend for this declaration to have any force or effect.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista, that the Property is exempt surplus land pursuant to California Government Code
