The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby

69HEREAS, both the federal and state governments have now
approved the location of a medium. security medical-correctional
facility to serve the Southern California area in the Otay P4esa

has strongly supported the location of such a facility in that area
as a type of use that would be totally compatible with any prospec-
tive development of the area, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista fully
appreciates the fact that other governmental agencies may desire
land use development in the area which they consider inconsistent
with such a medical prison facility and many citizens stay interpret
the location of such a facility as being dangerous or detrimental
to nearby residents, and

would interfere with sound growth plans for the area and in some
way present difficulties for the opening of a second border crossing
to Mexico and still others who have a fundamental objection to the
necessity of additional prison facilities, and
WHEREAS, it is the continued belief of the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista that a medical-correctional facility is
vitally needed in the Southern California area to cope with problems
of rising crime and that such a facility would, in fact, be thoroughly
compatible with any proposed growth patterns and would provide addi-
tional employment and dollar expenditures in the South Bay Area.

City of Chula Vista does hereby strongly endorse the location of the
proposed medical-correctional facility in the South Bay's Otay r2esa
