the City of Chula Vista does establish a policy banning the
purchase, for use by the City of Chula Vista, of products
utilizing fully halogenated CFC'S in their manufacture as follows:

ensure that items or products stocked in the City's
Central Stores are not manufactured using fully
halogenated chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's).
B. The Purchasing Agent, or any City official, shall
not knowingly order or purchase items or products
for City use that are manufactured with the use of
fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's);
however, until industry develops acceptable
substitutes for certain products using CFC's and
halon in their manufacture, such as refrigeration,
air conditioning, some fire extinguishing
applications, etc., the Purchasing Agent may
continue to purchase these items for City use until
such time as industry develops acceptable non-ozone
depleting chemical substitutes.
C. The Purchasing Agent shall insert in each purchase
order or contract, where it may apply for the items
or products, a clause restricting the furnishing of
such items or products containing fully halogenated
chlorofluorocarbons.

This policy shall apply to all purchases of items or
products by the City of Chula Vista for its use.
