RESOLUTION NO. 7325
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA IN SUPPORT OF THE ORIGINAL DRAFT PROPOSAL OF
CPO PROVIDING FOR TRANSIT DISTRICT LEGISLATION (AB 2648)
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the present wording of AB 2648 differs substantially
from the Comprehensive Planning Organization draft endorsed by the City,
and
WHEREAS, the present wording of the legislation includes an
elected Transit District Board which the City of Chula Vista feels
does not provide the responsiveness to the people a board appointed by
agencies with general governmental responsibilities would have, and
WHEREAS, the legislation currently contemplates planning
responsibilities be undertaken by the Transit District, rather than the
San Diego Comprehensive Planning Organization which, most appropriately
has been given the task of formulating regional plans including trans-
portation plans, and
WHEREAS, the district as it is presently drawn does not in-
clude a sufficient area of San Diego County or sufficient percentage
of the population to be considered a truly regional plan; thus jeopardizes
federal support, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista directed
the City Attorney's office to prepare a memorialization of the minute
action of Tuesday, June 4, 1974.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista supports the original draft proposal submitted by
the Comprehensive Planning Organization and petitions the legislature
to adopt the proposal in substantially that form, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City endorses an appointed
Board of Directors rather than an elected Board of Directors for the
Transit District in order to prevent a proliferation of special districts
and to provide for maximum responsiveness to the people in the county, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Transit District should be
solely an "operating agency" conceived to implement the transportation
plans that are adopted by a county wide transportation planning organi-
zation and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Transit District, in order to
be regional in scope and serve urbanized areas encompassed at least the
western one-third of the county, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a representative of the City
Council of the City of Chula Vista be and is hereby authorized and
directed to forward a certified copy of this resolution to the San
Diego legislative delegation and all other interested parties.
