Overview of the City of Chula Vista

Incorporated in 1911, Chula Vista is located at the center of one of the richest cultural, economic and environmentally diverse zones in the United States. It is the second largest city in San Diego County with a population of 278,247 and boasts more than 52 square miles of coastal landscape, canyons, rolling hills, mountains, quality parks, and miles of trails. Chula Vista is a leader in conservation and renewable energy, has outstanding public schools, and has been named one of the top safest cities in the country.

The City continues to enjoy tremendous growth and is posed for further economic expansion.

The cornerstones of Chula Vista’s economic expansion is anchored between the 535-acre Chula Vista Bayfront redevelopment and University-Innovation District. Construction is well underway on a world- class waterfront resort and convention center- Gaylord Pacific with other amenities such as parks and residential housing also advancing. Plans are moving forward on the 375-acre University and Innovation District in the eastern section of the city which will establish a four-year university and an innovation district that will act as a regional economic engine to make Chula Vista and the South Bay a global hub for cinematic arts, green technology, and building a binational economy.

This Legislative Platform provides a foundation for the City of Chula Vista Legislative Program to help Chula Vista advance its interests with California policy makers, agency representatives, industry leaders and others.

This platform also is intended to be a living document that will be updated periodically as circumstances and goals change but the foundation will focus on efforts to enhance our city and the quality of life for our residents.

Legislative Advocacy Guidelines

The purpose of the Legislative Advocacy Guidelines is to describe the City’s internal procedures related to federal, state, and local advocacy. Through the procedures described, potentially impactful federal, state, and local legislation is identified, analyzed, tracked, and the City’s position is communicated to legislators.

Coordination of the Legislative Program
Legislation and issues of interest are brought to the City’s attention through several means: League of California Cities, National League of Cities, Councilmembers, legislators, City staff, community members, and professional or governmental organizations.

All legislation or issues of interest should be referred to the City Manager’s Office for analysis.

The City Manager’s Office, in consultation with City staff and legislative consultant , will review the proposed legislation, and determine the nature and extent of its potential impact on the city and develop an appropriate City response.

Action can then proceed in either of two ways:
2 | P a g e

1. If the Council has previously adopted a position on the legislation through the existing Legislative Platform, the City Manager will coordinate and implement appropriate response. Council will be notified and kept updated on progress and issues.

2. If the legislation is not addressed by the existing Legislative Platform or by Council direction , the proposed legislation will be referred to Council for direction. Staff will place the item on a City Council agenda, including a specific bill number, if any, an analysis of the item, and a recommendation if warranted, for Council deliberation. Staff will follow the direction from Council related to the specific item.

The Role of the Mayor and City Council
The Mayor and City Council has ultimate responsibility for determining the City’s position on legislative issues. The Council's specific responsibilities include:

1. Establish legislative priorities.

2. Meet with the City's state and federal legislative advocates as needed.

3. Work with external entities on issues of shared policy concerns.

4. Determine positions on resolutions proposed for adoption by the League of California Cities, the National League of Cities, and similar regional entities, as requested.

5. Assume an active advocacy role with legislators on behalf of the City. If travel is required, s uch travel will be consistent with current City travel policies.

The Role of the City Manager
The City Manager implements and coordinates t he City's Legislative Program. The City Manager may designate a legislative liaison to assist with coordinating the Legislative Program. The responsibilities and activities of the City Manager include:

1. Ensuring alignment of city actions on legislation with the City’s Legislative Platform.

2. Coordinating contacts and communications with legislators and their staff.

3. With departmental assistance, evaluating proposed legislation that may affect the City.

4. Disseminating information on public policy items of interest to City departments.

5. Directing and overseeing the City ’s lobbyists, including setting priorities for action that are consistent with City Council direction.

6. Preparing advocacy letters expressing the City’s position on legislation that is consistent with adopted platform. The Mayor , Deputy Mayor or City Manager may sign advocacy letters on behalf of the City.

Copies of the communication will be distributed to the Mayor and City Council.

7. Serving, as needed, as the liaison to stakeholder groups, legislative offices, and local jurisdictions concerning legislative activities.
3 | P a g e

8. Coordinating, briefing, and providing support to Mayor and City Council members for visits with state and/or federal legislators, as needed.

The Role of City Departments
City Department participation is essential to the success of the Legislative Program. Departmental employees can provide technical assistance and unique insight into issues potentially impacting the City.

Responsibilities of the departments include, but are not limited to:

1. Informing the City Manager, or designee, of policy issues of importance to the City and any specific bills that may impact the department

2. Designating key contacts within the department or division who are responsible for evaluating legislation and/or assisting with legislative analysis and advocacy letters

3. Suggesting organizations, individuals, publications, and/or legislators who may be partners in advocating the City's position on certain legislation
Signatures on Legislative Communication
Letters and other communications expressing the City's position will customarily bear the signature of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor or City Manager . In order to keep the Council and others informed of all City communication on legislation, copies of the letters will be distributed to the Mayor and City Council.

Communication With Elected Officials
From time to time, members of the City Council may meet with the City’s local, state, and/or federal representatives. These meetings are an important component of building legislative relationships and sharing issues of significance to Chula Vista. Any meetings or communication with local, state, or federal elected officials must be done in a coordinated way to ensure conformity with the approved Legislative Platform, consistency of messaging, accurate information and record keeping, and sharing of resources.

Therefore, as a matter of best practice, any communication with a local, state, or federal elected official or legislative staff regarding the City’s Legislative Platform should be coordinated through the City Manager.

Advocacy Methods
Drafting position letters is one advocacy tool, best used in conjunction with others. The Mayor, City Council, City Manager, and lobbyists may use any, or a combination of the below additional advocacy methods:

1. Calls to policymakers, their staff, or legislative committee staff

2. Meeting with legislators and their staff, stakeholders, and other groups active on the same issue or bill

3. Testifying at a committee hearing regarding the City’s position and/or concerns

4. Building coalitions and partnerships with entities that advance the Legislative Program

Guiding Principles of Legislative Platform

The Legislative Platform is a tool to protect, promote, and guide our City’s interests on priority issues and legislative/regulatory matters that may impact the City at the state and federal level. The guiding principles and broad policy statements allow City staff and legislative advocates to address legislative and regulatory issues in a timely and directed manner, without precluding City Council consideration of additional legislative matters arising throughout the year.

With the continued growth of the City and planned development in the future, the City’s Legislative Platform is aimed at securing legislative policies and resources that will help the City manage this growth, fund critical infrastructure needs, keep the City safe, and maintain and enhance quality-of-life. 1) Maintain Local Control
• Support efforts that preserve and protect our local authority to enact policy pertaining to local affairs. Oppose measures that seek to preempt local control without the concurrence of the City. 2) Promote Fiscal Responsibility
• Support efforts that promote fiscal stability, predictability, and financial independence. Support efforts that preserve and promote the City’s revenue base. Oppose efforts that mandate costs with no guarantee of local reimbursement or offsetting benefits, or that shift local funds to the county, state or federal government without offsetting benefits. 3) Promote Economic Development
• Support efforts that provide local governments with the tools necessary to bolster economic development and efforts streamlining initiatives that would enhance our ability to attract and retain businesses as well as encourage business expansion and job retention. 4) Support Funding Opportunities
• Support efforts that allow the City to compete for its fair share of regional, state and federal funding including competitive grants and other funding programs. Support efforts that promote dedicated funding streams at the regional, state and federal levels allowing our City to maximize local revenues, offset and leverage capital expenditures, and maintain our goals and standards.

2025-2026 Legislative Priorities

1. Assistance in obtaining State and/or Federal funds for Grade Separations at major railroad/transit crossings.

With construction almost complete on the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center and the anticipated increase in visitors and residents, mobility and the flow of people and goods to and from Chula Vista is becoming increasingly critical. Because of this, it is essential that we continue to expand and increase frequency of our public transit system. To do so, grade separations along the Blue Line Trolley are urgently needed at Palomar Street, F Street, H Street, and E Street. Palomar Street has been identified by SANDAG as vitally needed to reduce congestion in the western part of Chula Vista and was ranked in the top two most urgently needed grade separations within the entire MTS trolley system. The City already has invested over $3 million for planning and design of the Palomar Street grade separation project. In 2023, SANDAG was awarded $21.5 million through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) federal program which will fund right-of-way acquisitions and utilities relocation. An additional $128 million in funding is needed to begin construction and complete the project.

2. Secure support and funding for the University -Innovation District and associated infrastructure needed.

The Ci ty is actively engaged in planning efforts on the University -Innovation District related to the infrastructure needed to make the site shovel-ready. A feasibility study is currently underway on an initial phase of development on about 20-30 acres of the 383-acre site. The City will continue working with state legislators and other stakeholders as we continue to pursue support and funding mechanisms necessary to construct infrastructure improvements, prepare for a university partner and protect this key City asset.

3. Secure support and agreement with the State and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to eliminate the toll-only operation of State Route 125.

During the 2021-2022 Legislative session, Senator Ben Hueso secured $20 million for SANDAG to dedicate to the outstanding debt on the State Route 125 (SR-125) toll road, or South Bay Expressway (SBX).

As the only tolled freeway in San Diego County, SBX toll road operations make it difficult to attract and retain employees and disproportionally affects lower income workers in the South Bay. Elimination of toll- only operations on the SBX will incentivize businesses to locate in Chula Vista and the South Bay region, an area long neglected. Early retirement of the SBX toll facility debt also will alleviate transportation congestion on the region’s freeways by more fully utilizing existing capacity along South Bay freeways and arterials during high commute times and reduce regional vehicle miles traveled (VMT) with the creation of employment centers in the surrounding South Bay region.

Staff will continue to work with SANDAG, state agencies like Caltrans, and other stakeholders to achieve elimination of debt by as soon as 2027 and remove toll-only operations on the SBX. 6 | P a g e

4. Promote the ongoing development on the Chula Vista Bayfront including, but not limited to, creation and funding of open space, parks, and business development.

Construction is almost complete on the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center, a catalyst project for the redevelopment of the 535 -acre Chula Vista Bayfront. As envisioned in the Bayfront Master Plan, public access is a cornerstone of the development and that includes open space and new parks. The City will continue to seek funding opportunities to bring residents and visitors outdoor spaces to enjoy our Bayfront as well as preserve existing park access and uses.

Also important to the sustainability of the project is the creation of employment opportunities through the development of new businesses and expansion of existing businesses. Within the Bayfront masterplan area, Chula Vista has one long -established cardroom, Seven Mile Casino . Seven Mile contributes substantially to the local economy by providing jobs and generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual license revenues for the City. As Seven Mile continues to explore table growth to expand their business and redevelop their properties, the City will advocate for the ability of local governments to authorize existing licensed cardrooms to expand the number of tables operated.

5. Secure state funding to pursue development and redevelopment of park spaces in areas in need of additional parkland in western Chula Vista.

During recent community engagement opportunities, the need for additional park space and recreational amenities in the more urban, western portion of the City has been highlighted as a pressing need. State funding would allow the City to pursue planning, design and construction of additional parkland and recreational opportunities as expressed by residents in Chula Vista.
