WHEREAS, the Fire Department received a request from representatives of
Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) to reduce the fee for fire and emergency medical
services for the racing cup season that includes three racing weekends per year from 2008
through 2009; and
WHEREAS, since 2005, the City has historically lowered the fees for public safety
related services from the "Full Cost Recovery Rate" to "Overtime plus 20%"; and
WHEREAS, fire and emergency medical services are required for the purpose of
ensuring the safety of participants and those in who will be attending these events; and
WHEREAS, the CORR events bring significant positive publicity to the City of Chula
Vista; and
WHEREAS, the "Overtime plus 20%" rate will completely offset the direct costs to
provide fire and emergency medical services for the race event; and
WHEREAS, an appropriation of $33,567 will need to be made to the fiscal year
2008/2009 Fire Department Personnel Services budget for overtime costs which will be
completely offset by the event fees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City ofChula Vista
as follows:
I. That due to the significant fees already paid by the applicant to provide this event
for the community the City Council finds that an economic hardship and injustice
would result to the applicant to pay full cost recovery fees which outweighs the
need for the full cost recovery revenue, and on balance, due to the substantial
benefits and significant positive publicity provided to the City the City Council
authorizes the City Manager to waive the full cost recovery rate for fire and
emergency medical services for the Championship Off Road Racing (CORR)
season from 2008 through 2009 for three racing weekends per year.
