City Holiday Lighting
TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
The City of Chula Vista has a long history of providing holiday lighting for the downtown area
and on the overpasses over I-80S. The City had previously contracted the City's holiday
decoration activities to a private entity at an annual estimated cost of $65,000. However, due to
budget constraints beginning in the 07/08 fiscal year, this contract was eliminated and the
Construction & Repair Program of Public Works assumed that effort even though they were not
staffed to do so. Over the last few years, Construction & Repair has spent approximately 460
hours annually installing and removing decorations at various locations but has lost 31% (5 of
16) of its staff due to budget reductions and currently has two vacancies (44% reduction).
As a result, the installation (and removal) of holiday decorations will now be "limited" to the
area on Third A venue between E Street and G Street. Decorating this area on Third A venue will
provide sufficient holiday lighting for the Starlight Parade.
Provided below are the areas that will not be decorated due to budget constraints:
. F Street between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue (palm trees)
. I-80S Overpasses on H Street & J Street
. 11 public parking lots within the downtown area
. Third A venue between G Street and H Street
By not decorating the areas identified above, an estimated 165 hours will be saved; thereby,
allowing these hours to be redeployed to complete ever increasing facility maintenance demands.
We have notified Mr. Greg Mattson, Executive Director of the Third Avenue Village
Association (T A VA), detailing this scaled down holiday lighting plan.
Please feel free to contact me at x5873 if you have any questions.
