RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ADOPTING RESPONSES TO THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE 1987-88 SAN DIEGO GRAND
JURY
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, in late September 1988, the 1987-88 San Diego
Grand Jury released its Final Report, and
WHEREAS, Penal Code Section 933 requires that a local
public agency to whom Grand Jury findings and recommendations are
addressed file written comments and responses in a timely fashion
with the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court, and
WHEREAS, in the report, three of the recommendations
were directed at the City of Chula Vista and require responses--
one recommendation relates to housing assistance for the elderly
and two recommendations deal with solid waste disposal management.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby adopt the following responses
to the recommendations of the 1987-88 San Diego Grand Jury:
J8/26: Implement and/or expand programs for separating and
recycling solid waste to extend the life of existing
landfill sites. These programs should include an
educational component to inform the general public
about the urgent need to recycle and to promote the
marketing of recovered materials. The buy-back
centers for aluminum cans and newspapers, which have
been in operation for many years, are a model for
other marketable, recycleable items, such as tin cans,
grass, and junk of various kinds.
RESPONSE: The Chula Vista City Council supports the
implementation of source separation and recycling
programs as a partial response to the landfill
crisis. To that end, the City's internal recycling
program is currently undergoing expansion, and
decisions regarding a City-wide needs assessment
and/or curbside program are in progress. Research
indicates that public awareness through an active
educational campaign is critical to the success of
recycling programs, and the Council will give
appropriate consideration in planning and implementing
future programs.

#88/28: Form a county-wide solid waste agency to develop
.. long-range trash disposal programs and to facilitate
locating and developing regional landfill sites to
serve all County residents, businesses and industries
for a 30-year period.
RESPONSE: The Chula Vista City Council recognizes the County of
San Diego as the agency responsible for the
development of long-range solid waste management
plans. The City reviews for approval the County's
State-mandated plan every three years. The Council is
also aware that the County and the City of San Diego
are currently conducting a landfill site study.
#88/48: Coordinate efforts with the Housing Commission to
provide housing assistance to the elderly, with a
central registry of available housing open to all
agencies in the County.
RESPONSE: The Chula Vista City Council concurs with this
recommendation. The Council is advised that the
County's Housing and Community Development Department
has recently contracted to develop a centralized
directory of housing resources within the County which
will include a component for seniors and senior social
service providers.
