resolution, requested the County of San Diego, California to give
those assurances required by the U. S. Army Engineers to provide
the local cooperation necessary for the construction of the
project, and
WHEREAS, the City Council declared it to be a policy and
intent of the Council to enter into negotiations prior to actual
construction to determine a mutually equitable apportionment of
costs to each local agency including the County, to reimburse the
County of San Diego for betterments in highways, roads, streets,
bridges, utilities and irrigation and drainage facilities for
which the state or federal agencies declare the costs beyond their
responsibility, and
WHEREAS, said project to be constructed in conjunction
with State Highway 54 would provide protection against flood
damage to property along the 3.2 mile reach of the Sweetwater
River downstream from Interstate 805 Freeway to San Diego Bay, all
in the cities of National City and Chula Vista, and the County of
San Diego, California by levee and channel improvements under
consideration for construction by the United States, and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista has strongly supported
the construction of such joint freeway flood control project since
1964, and
WHEREAS, said project is vital to serve the freeway needs
of the South Bay area and to relieve the extreme congestion
encountered daily on the 1-5 Freeway between Chula Vista and
National City and will correct many of the flooding problems which
have been frequently inflicted upon the Sweetwater Valley, and
WHEREAS, the City has previously agreed to mitigate
certain environmental concerns by (a) agreeing to delete the ramps
from State Route 54 to Tidelands Avenue and (b) delete the
construction of the Tidelands Avenue Bridge across the channel,
from this project, and
WHEREAS, the City Council on October 2, 1979 conducted a
public hearing on the support of the flood control project and by
