RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA ENDORSING IN CONCEPT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PROGRAP~
FOR LANDSCAPING A PORTION OF I-805
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce Beautification
Committee has been working with CALTRAPdS in an effort to landscape
the right-of-way from Bonita Road southerly to and including the "H"
Street interchange on I-805, and
WHEREAS, said landscaping is vital to the mutual interests
of the City of Chula Vista and the State of California, and
WHEREAS, said landscaping would consist of minimum planting
to be accomplished by the State with its own work forces with appro-
priate plant material being furnished by the City of Chula Vista, and
WHEREAS, it is now contemplated that the City would not be
committed to any future financial obligations for continued mainte-
nance and watering, and
WHEREAS, the program as submitted in concept by the Chamber
of Commerce Beautification Committee would require minimal care and
no watering except occasional washing of foliage, and
WHEREAS, the project could well be termed a pilot program
in substitution of the customary extensive landscaping of_ freeways
which no longer appears to be feasible in light of both the costs as
presently contemplated and the known shortage and expense of watering
for such programs.
PdOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby endorse in concept the Chamber of
Commerce Beautification Committee program for the landscaping of
I-805 as set forth hereinabove.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Chula Vista commends
the Chamber of Commerce for its concern over the landscaping of I-805
as well as its recognition of the gravity of the water shortage
throughout the western United States and its attempt to provide a
solution to the landscaping problem in keeping with such known shor-
tages.
