RESOLUTION NO. 2008-081
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA TO RESCIND COUNCIL POLICY NO. 102-04
AND ADOPT A POLICY ESTABLISHING AN
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS FOR BLOCK PARTIES AND
SPECIAL EVENTS, ESTABLISHING CRITERIA TO ENSURE
APPROVAL FOR EVENTS AND ESTABLISHING A FEE
STRUCTURE FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City Council previously approved a policy establishing an administrative
process to seek permission to hold residential block parties subject to certain limitations and City
Manager approval (Council Policy No. 102-04; Block Parties); and
WHEREAS, the Office of Communications, under the auspices of the City Manager, has
been administering the Block Party program for the past five years; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager, through the Office of Communications, has also informally
been approving special events under the guidelines of Council Policy No.1 02-04; and
WHEREAS, staff now seeks to formalize that permit process by rescinding Council Policy
No. 102-04 and adopting a new policy which establishes an administrative process for approval of
block parties and special events, establishes criteria to ensure approval for events is uniformly
granted for all qualified applicants, and establishes a fee structure for administration of the program;
and
WHEREAS, by adopting this policy, the City Council delegates to the City Manager the
authority to grant Special Events Permits or Block Party Permits to any applicant who has shown
proof that he or she has met the established criteria for a special event or block party on City owned,
controlled, or maintained property; and
WHEREAS, administrative fees will be assessed for both the Special Event Permit and
Block Party Permit; and
WHEREAS, City departments are authorized to assess additional costs to recover expenses
incurred should the special event require City services (e.g. street closures, street sweeping, crowd
control, etc.); and
WHEREAS, the permit criterion establishes time, place and manner limits and provides for
a risk analysis to determine the appropriate level of insurance.
