Chula Vista to weigh PR for university plan

The City Council today will consider allocating about $290,000 to take a step forward in plans to build a university.

The city plans to contract with Sapetto Group Inc., for a public outreach and participation process for the project. The community relations firm met with Chula Vista leaders late last month when an $80,000 university report was presented to the council’s University Committee comprised of Mayor Cheryl Cox and Councilman Rudy Ramirez.

The council will consider spending $147,363 on public relations with the Sapetto Group and allocating $142,403 to Laer Pearce & Associates for public outreach to gain support for the project.

An analysis on financing options for the university is expected by Nov. 30.

The projected institution would be located on about 375 acres in Otay Ranch.

The council meeting is at 4 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 276 Fourth Ave.
