RESOLUTION 2006-182
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ADOPTING A COUNCIL POLICY
REGARDING HOLIDA Y FESTIVAL GUIDELINES
WHEREAS, in December 2005, the City Council requested that the City Attorney draft a
Council Policy setting out guidelines to assist the Recreation Department in selecting participants
for the City's Annual Holiday Festival; and
WHEREAS, the intent of the policy is to provide guidance to the Recreation Department so
its selection process is not impermissibly restrictive; and
WHEREAS, the policy establishes selection criteria that recognizes the importance of
honoring and accommodating the religious and cultural traditions of all City residents but neither
advocates, nor endorses any particular religion or message. The policy also makes clear that the City
does not endorse non-religious messages over religious messages. The policy provides reasonable
parameters based on the time limits of the Holiday Festival itself; and
WHEREAS, since the Holiday Festival program has historically provided a venue for the
Recreation Department to highlight its recreation classes, the Festival is open first to instructors who
teach City Recreation Department classes and local schools.
WHEREAS, the Recreation Department has reviewed the policy and, if approved by
Council, expects to use the guidelines in the policy in its selection process for this year's Holiday
Festival.
NOW, THEREFORE, B IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City ofChula Vista
does hereby adopt a Council Po . y regarding the Holiday Festival Guidelines.
Approved as to form by
Buck Martin
Recreation Department Director
