RESOLUTION NO. 2006-022
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE REALLOCATION AND
APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO ADD A GRAPHIC
DESIGNER POSITION TO THE OFFICE OF
COMMUNICATIONS
WHEREAS, on May 5, 2005, the City Conncil heard and accepted the results of the
Office of Commnnications' participation in the City's strategic planning process; and
WHEREAS, the duties of the Commnnications staff continue to evolve and expand. As
Chula Vista grows (our population has increased by more than 40,000 since the commnnications
audit), and residents expect to hear more about community issues, the need for commnnicating a
strong City image to the public has become even more critical; and
WHEREAS, based on the current demands for service, this goal cannot be met by the
single graphic design position approved for the Office of Commnnications; and
WHEREAS, the Office of Commnnications has explored out-sourcing the work, which
cannot be handled by the one full-time employee. However, the standard rate for a graphic
design firm approaches $lOOlhour. The use of student interns was also attempted, but their
limited availability and skills, coupled with the time the graphic designer was required to spend
training these individuals, prevented this from solving the work load problem; and
WHEREAS, as a result, the Office of Commnnications is requesting the permanent
addition of a Graphic Designer position to the staff.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Conncil of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby approve the transfer of $20,000 from the Office ofCommnnication's Services
and Supplies budget to the Office of Communication's Personnel Services budget, appropriate
$12,220 from the available balance of the General Fnnd to the Office of Commnnication's
Personnel Services budget based upon nnanticipated staff reimbursement revenues, and approve
the addition of a Graphic Designer position to the Office of Communications.
