BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Friends of Chula Vista Parks & Recreation donated $4,000 towards the Youth Scholarship Program to supplement the costs of programs and activities for Chula Vista residents . Luis Monge donated $250 to support the St. Patrick’s Day Event at Norman Park Senior Center.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found that Mayor Mary Casillas Salas has real property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action (Norman Park Senior Center). However, to the extent that any decision would have a reasonably foreseeable financial effect on the member’s real property, the effect would be nominal, inconsequential, or insignificant. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 18702(b), this item does not present a real property -related conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal.
Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in an appropriation of $4,250 in donations from multiple donors to the Community Services Department’s budget. There is no net fiscal impact to the General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
All funds were issued for one time use to supplement costs of programs and activities. There is no on -going impact to the budget.
ATTACHMENTS
None.
