Dear Mayor Lewis:
As I am sure you recall, in November of last year the city of Chula Vista requested your city
council adopt a resolution in support of our efforts to bring a University of California campus to
Chula Vista. To date, fourteen of the eighteen cities around the county have adopted
resolutions supporting our efforts. Resolutions in support of bringing a University of California
campus to Chula Vista have also been adopted by the San Diego Division of the League of
California Cities, the county of San Diego, and by joint resolution of the California Assembly
and Senate.
Developing support from cities throughout the region is a necessary step we must take in
order to demonstrate the regional significance of our proposal to the University of California
Board of Regents. Please find attached a copy of Chula Vista Resolution No. 18991, which
we believe can be used as a draft for your council’s consideration.
If you have questions or would like a representative to address your city council on this
matter, please feel free to call me at (619) 691-5044.
Sincerely,
Mayor
