RESOLUTION NO. 2005-131
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE REORGANIZATION OF
THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND RECLASSIFYING
POSITIONS THEREIN
WHEREAS, as a result of the City's ongoing efforts to streamline the entitlement process
for development and redevelopment projects, the idea of creating a more cohesive "development
services" function that includes Engineering, Planning and Community Development started to
take shape; and
WHEREAS, in order to further this effort, it became clear that the Engineering Division
of General Services should separate from the General Services Department and become its own
department under the auspices of a focused development services group of departments; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the proposed reorganization of the Engineering Department
is to better align staffing needs with ongoing efforts to revitalize western Chula Vista. It
recognizes the differences between the delivery, maintenance and operation of municipal
facilities; the primary functions of the General Services department from the core engineering
functions of entitlement of Development and Redevelopment projects; financing and planning of
inrrastructure; and managing traffic congestion of our roadways; and
WHEREAS, in order to meet the demands of growth, traffic congestion, and the
continued development activities, the Engineering Department proposes a reorganization
structure into the following sections:
Administrative Services
Financial, Fiscal Services, and Special Districts: Manages Community Facilities
Districts, Open Space Districts, Development Impacts Fees and infrastructure
financing.
Transportation Services: Assesses neighborhood traffic concerns; implements
corrective measures to enhance vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian safety; provides
for the management, operation, preventive maintenance, and repair of City-owned
street lights and traffic signal equipment.
Inrrastructure Services: Performs inrrastructures' planning studies; provides
technical support for regional Transportation issues through SANDAG and
regional Wastewater issues through Metro; inventories and manages a wide array
of City infrastructure; provides customer support and answers citizen's requests
for services.
Land Development Services: Provides an array of direct services to the public
including the final entitlements of development projects, technical oversight of
privately constructed facilities and infrastructure, and the creation of financing
systems for inrrastructure construction and long term maintenance. The proposed
reorganization structure includes the assignment of staff and the development of
engineering talents capable of implementing changes in Western Chula Vista
within the context of the proposed Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation; and
WHEREAS, the proposed structure includes the reclassification of the existing Deputy
City Engineer position to Deputy Director of Engineering, the reclassification of one Civil
Resolution 2005- I3 I

Engineer position to a Senior Civil Engineer position, and the creation of an additional Senior
Civil Engineer position; and
WHEREAS, the individual currently classified as the Deputy City Engineer will be
reclassified as a Senior Civil Engineer, a Civil Engineer position will be eliminated, and one
additional Senior Civil Engineer position will be created; and
WHEREAS, there are no fiscal impacts associated with the reorganization and adoption
of the strategic plan for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2005. The cost of the above-described
additional staffwill be offset by staff time reimbursed at full cost recovery.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby approve the reorganization of the Engineering Department and reclassify
positions therein.
