staff is unable to perform the necessary services; and
WHEREAS, Estrada warrants and represents that they are experienced and staffed in a
manner such that they are and can prepare and deliver the services required to the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Chula Vista within the time frames provided in the Agreement in accordance all
terms and conditions of the Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby 1) approve the Palomar Street Entryway Beautification Concept Plan and the
Agency hereby appropriates $170,000 from the Merged Project Area Tax Allocation Bond Proceeds;
