This important promotion should wait for the budget process and not ahead of it. Looks like another internal promotion of the inner circle. The old boys club is alive and well in Chula Vista from the Council to the management team. Where is the JEDI work in all these promotions. The management there at City Hall doesnt look like the Chula Vista I live in. Why not recruit and see what else is out there? David Gonzalez

More importantly, it again looks like another internal appointment of the inner circle. The old boys club is alive and well in Chula Vista from the Council to the management team.

As I put in my comment about this item for the last regular Council Meeting, this item in not on the Agenda but it is in the News and being talked about in the community, namely: the City Attorney's unitlateral decision not to proceed with process for the Welcoming City designation for the City of Chula Vista. While some might contend that the Welcoming City Designation is more symbolic than substantive, perception matters especially when a non-elected city official overides the intent an ordinance passed by the former City Council. I urge the members of the current City Council to revew this and approve actions needed to make Chula Vista a Welcoming City, actually as well as symbolically.
Rev. Tania Y Marquez
I was one of the faith leaders present when Chula Vista was certified as a welcoming city in 2019. This also happened after some of the most difficult years of blatant public racism and discrimination towards immigrants. We were proud of the city and its leaderships. We were proud of the values this certification represented. I urge you to reconsider both your practices and your decision to not seek recertification. Undocumented immigrants already bear the burden of living in the shadows and of facing the uncertainty, fear, and anguish that comes with this. I urge you to reconsider and to make the commitment to be a safe city for those who are already vulnerable.
Kathy Tell
I saw the recent segment on PBS by Gustavo Solis about Chula Vista claiming it is a Welcoming City even though it is no longer one. That is very dishonest. Apparently, the city of Chula Vista should never had had that title since they were releasing police surveilance information to ICE. Chula Vista needs to stop using the title of a Welcoming City and provide a full accounting of the decision not to apply for Welcoming City recertification. Chula Vista needs to make a public commitment to protect the rights, safety and well-being of immigrants.
Nancy Relaford
When we found out in December 2020 that Chula Vista had been sharing surveillance data with ICE, people asked “How could a Welcoming City share data with immigration enforcement and put our immigrant community at risk?” As we worked to change the city’s reckless and secretive surveillance practices, people came to understand that Chula Vista’s commitment to Welcoming America standards was all talk and no action. Certification was just a trophy to point to, not guidelines for decision making. Now the City has made its choice crystal clear: when Welcoming America told Chula Vista to fix concerns related to surveillance in order to gain recertification, the City Manager chose surveillance over immigrants. She unilaterally decided not even to attempt recertification - and then kept the decision secret for months while still claiming Welcoming City status! The nonsensical excuse that JEDI is a higher priority just weakens the JEDI initiative with the same cynical poison. We need transparency, honesty, and a real commitment to immigrant safety, privacy, and inclusion. No more window dressing. No more secrecy and lies. DO BETTER! Carolyn Scofield
Good Evening Mayor McCann and Councilmembers Preciado, Cardenas, Chavez, and Gonzalez, Welcoming City was a valuable program to everyone in Chula Vista. It provided tools and resources to help our city and partners “reduce the barriers that immigrants face to fully participating and build bridges between newcomers and long-time residents.” Now, due lack of transparency and communication in our city, public news sources have revealed that the program no longer exists. The needs for Welcoming City will continue to exist.
I urge you to provide timely and relevant opportunities for our residents to learn the facts about how and why the program ended, and give input and participate in next steps moving forward.
Thank you.
Ian M. Seruelo
I am Ian M Seruelo, a member of Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) and a resident of San Diego. Chula Vista should either be true to its declaration that it is a "Welcoming City" or stop the charade and be transparent to the public. Notwithstanding the recent about-face of the City, we are calling on Chula Vista to reconsider and make a public commitment to set enforceable policies and program criteria to protect the rights, safety and well-being of immigrants.
Margaret Baker
In 2017, South Bay People Power supported Chula Vista becoming a Welcoming City. We were actively involved with establishment of the Human Relations Commission & completing the steps to become “certified.” We naively assumed the City would heed our input at meetings & protect the rights of immigrants. We were shocked & spoke up when we learned from reporters that CVPD has contracts with companies (Vigilant & Motorola) that put immigrants & other vulnerable members of our community at risk of disparate & harmful law enforcement & continues to expand these programs without civilian oversight or accountability. Last week reporters alerted us to the City’s lack of commitment to the Welcoming America Standard, & glaring lack of transparency. We are again stunned! It seems “Welcoming” was just window dressing & a PR ploy.
We demand that the City immediately:
1. Stop claiming the title of Welcoming City;
2. Provide a full & honest accounting of the decision not to apply for recertification & not to seek community input, take up the question before City Council or the HRC or communicate about this major change in direction;
3. Make a serious commitment to repair the breaches of trust, to set enforceable policies & program criteria to protect the rights, safety & well-being of immigrants, & to waste no time in establishing independent civilian oversight & mechanisms of public accountability regarding city policies & programs.
Pati Ruiz
I was surprised to hear in a recent KPBS story that Chula Vista is no longer a certified welcoming city because the city lost it's certification in December 2022. As a Chula Vista resident, I did not read or hear anything from the city about abandoning this program and I would like to understand how this decision was made and the reasoning behind this decision-making process. Also, how was the community informed of this decision? How does Chula Vista support its immigrant community members and how will we, the city, continue to commit to welcoming the immigrants who make us such a strong community? Jose Lopez
ACCE members in Chula Vista helped advocate for the city to be certified as a welcoming city. We were proud that Chula Vista was the first Welcoming City in California during a time when anti-immigrant sentiment was shaping public policy. Then, we found out that Chula Vista PD was sharing ALPR data with federal immigration agencies. Now, it appears that the City Manager has unilaterally chosen to not comply with the City Council mandate to pursue certification as a Welcoming City. All of this is shameful. We need accountability to ensure that Chula Vista stands for values that uphold basic rights and welcomes ALL to our city. We ask that you stop claiming the title of Welcoming City.Provide a full and honest accounting of the decision not to apply for Welcoming City recertification and the failure to seek input or communicate regarding this major change in direction. Make a public commitment to set enforceable policies and program criteria to protect the rights, safety and well-being of immigrants.
Wendy Gelernter
Regarding Chula Vista's "Welcoming City" certification:
* The CIty must stop claiming the title of Welcoming City; * The City must provide a full and honest accounting of the decision not to apply for Welcoming City recertification and the failure to seek input or communicate regarding this major change in direction * The City must make a public commitment to set enforceable policies and program criteria to protect the rights, safety and well-being of immigrants.
Pedro Rios
As a representative of the American Friends Service Committee and a 19-year resident of Chula Vista's District 4, I’m concerned that Chula Vista is not seeking to recertify itself as a Welcoming City. When cities openly declare themselves to be in favor of policies that protect and welcome immigrants, it means that immigrants and their families feel safer to participate in City events. It means that immigrant families can reach out to City officials for support. To not seek out a Welcoming City status designation effectively sends the wrong message to immigrant families - that they no longer are valued and institutional barriers should remain in place to shut them out of participating in the make-up of their city. Chula Vista must reconsider its decision-making processes and it should strive for accountability. City officials must recommit to welcoming immigrants, and it must be explicit in how it supports its immigrant community members.
Andrea Beth Damsky
Good evening Mayor and Council Members.
It is deeply concerning to me to learn that the City of Chula Vista has lost its status as a Welcoming City, without any announcement or official decision to do so. I am one of many community activists who lobbied City Council to urge it to pursue Welcoming City status initially.
It was a proud thing for Chula Vista to be the first Welcoming City in California, and it is a shameful thing to also be the first City to lose this status. It is even more shameful that this status was lost as a result of a unilateral decision by your City Manager, without input from City Council.
Welcoming City status has meaning and value to Chula Vista residents. I implore you to invest time, care, and treasure in re-establishing Chula Vista as a Welcoming City.
Lois K Klepin
Chula Vista is no longer a certified Welcoming City. The message this sends to the San Diego community is that Chula Vista does not consider it important to be explicit about welcoming those targeted by anti-immigrant policies. It says Chula Vista will silently sit by rather than lead on issues of civil and human rights. I find this disgraceful.
That the decertification occurred behind closed doors, and Chula Vistans are only learning about it through reporter alerts, is suggestive of deception.
I expect better from my City Council representatives.
Kathy Hardy
This is Chula? I was excited to be one of the community members who was interviewed by the Welcoming America committee as Chula Vista sought “Welcoming City” status. I was proud when we “passed the test” and became certified. I was there when the flag was lifted on the pole outside of City Hall letting the community know we were committed to being more inclusive of all people. Little did I know that it was all a mirage! We later learned that CVPD had a contract with Vigilant Solutions who was sharing collected data with ICE. Is that the criteria of a Welcoming City? I think NOT! We have recently learned that the City decided to ignore recertification without public input! The City continues to tout the now “empty title” of a Welcoming City when it’s been proven that we failed the test. “This is Chula” is an embarrassment!
