City Manager Goss stated that if the Council makes a policy
decision that it would like to take positions on State
Propositions, it would be staff's recommendation to support
this proposition.
Councilman Nader commented regarding propositions that
impact not only City operations but areas the Council finds
itself as public officials called upon to deal with, he
believes it is appropriate to take positions.
Councilman Nader further noted that to his knowledge CAL-
OSHA is a proposition that both labor and business groups
have supported. He believes that because the Council has
been requested to take a position, it would be appropriate
to do so. This proposition effects the lives of a large
number of the citizens of Chula Vista. There have been some
unfortunate recent examples of what can happen when
industrial safety is lax (not in the City of Chula Vista,
but in the region) involving firms that employ many of the
citizens of Chula Vista.
