 FUNDING
What it will take to make us our own city
On behalf of a coalition of La Jolla families, neighbors, business
and community leaders we urge you to join our efforts to form the
City of La Jolla.
As you know, La Jolla is part of the City of San Diego, whose political
leadership, staff resources, and focus are centered downtown, far
removed from the important community needs we all share.
As a result of San Diego’s growth, we La Jollans have seen
a continued drain of our tax dollars, while services diminished,
and the quality of life we are committed to protecting is threatened.
We are convinced the time for the City of La Jolla is now.
Phase I was completed in 2005 - for the
legally required fiscal and economic study, to show that we have
the financial resources to be our own, independent City.
You may recall that there was a brief effort to pursue city-hood
in the early 1990’s. Due to recent changes in State law, and
the stated “neutrality” of the current mayor and District
1 Councilman, we no longer face the legal and political constraints
we faced last time, and can now apply for city-hood with the expectation
that it will succeed.
Our Statement of Purpose more completely
describes our reasons for pursuing a City of La Jolla, and the proposed
boundaries of a new municipality.
We are convinced that we not only have the financial resources
to operate our own city, but have the talent, energy, and creativity
within our community to succeed in forming a City of La Jolla. Then
we will have the ability to control our own destiny, protect our
property values and ensure that the quality of life we cherish is
preserved and protected and make La Jolla a better place for the
benefit of all of San Diego.
If you need more information please call the Independent La Jolla
hotline at 858-459-0364. We will try to
answer any additional questions you may have.
Please make a donation to our efforts. Please make checks payable
to Independent La Jolla. Our mailing address is:
P.O.
Box 342, La Jolla, CA 92037.
This is the most important thing we will ever do for our community.
Welcome to the City of La Jolla.
