Chula Vista Youth Sports and Marijuana

Okay, so it’s not what you think but it did get you to click on the link :)
On July 12, 2011, the City Council will be making decisions on both items --- so if you feel strongly about either now is the time to have your voice heard.

All youth sports could soon be impacted by higher fees.  We outlined the fee increases in a previous blog and other media also picked up on the story.  
Parents, coaches and players came out in numbers at the last council meeting to urge the council not to raise fees.  The item was tabled to give the city more time to see if additional money could be found.  
Tuesday night (July 12) the council discusses the results and will decide whether fees will need to be raised or not.
Medical marijuana has become much more prevalent in recent years due to the research supporting its medicinal benefits.  But there still remains huge controversy and debate over research, need and access issues.
Chula Vista will be considering whether to allow marijuana distribution in the City and exploration of approving medical marijuana collectives.  It appears that there is little, if any, support to allow medical marijuana dispensaries.  
Distribution - Collectives - Dispensaries ... What’s the difference?  I actually don’t know and will be tuning in to find out.  
If you feel strongly on either issue and want your voice to be heard - now is the time.

Contact your Mayor & Council today.
If you’re just curious to learn more about the issues and the decisions, you can watch the meeting online.  No need to watch the entire meeting, just click on the agenda item you’re interested in and there you go!
