SUMMARY
Section 10.08.110 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) establishes holidays for purposes of operating and enforcing parking meters and zones.

An ordinance amending CVMC Section 10.08.110 to replace Columbus Day with Cesar Chavez Day and to add the day after Thanksgiving is recommended. Repeal of an outdated City Council Policy relating to legal holidays is also recommended.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
