RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
OPPOSING THE CLOSURE OF TRAFFIC COURT OPERATIONS
IN SOUTH COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT
WHEREAS, due to continuing reductions in state court funding, San Diego
Superior Court intends to close traffic court operations in the South County (Chula Vista) and
East County (El Cajon); and
WHEREAS, traffic court at these locations will be consolidated and moved to the
Kearny Mesa Traffic Court facility beginning July 6, 2015; and
WHEREAS, these proposed closures will impact police operations and service to
our community by causing longer commute times and increased cases due to the consolidation
of traffic court operations, which equates to officers being out of service for longer periods, more
overtime use, and longer response times to calls for service; and
WHEREAS, certain community members will face public transportation
challenges to attend their court hearing, which will lead to an increase in the number of citations
becoming warrants for arrest.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby opposes the closure of Traffic Court Operations in South County Superior
Court.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 18th day of November, 2014.
