A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH OPPOSING PAYMENT
OF COMPENSATION FOR REMOVAL OF CERTAIN
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGNS.
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States has here-
tofore enacted the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 for
the purpose of providing for scenic development and road
beautification of the federal-state highway systems and
that such Act contemplates and requires action by the sev-
eral States; and
WHEREAS, Section 131(g) of the Act requires payment
of compensation tion upon
on the removal of certain outdoo
r adver-
tising signs, displays and devices, such compensation to be
shared by the federal government and the States; and
WHEREAS, with respect to the State of California,
payment of compensation for such removal is unnecessary and
wasteful because such removal and the consequent securing
of "effective control", as defined in the Act, can better be
accomplished under the police power of this State; and
WHEREAS, over a period of many years the police
power of the States has become and now is the well establish-
ed and judicially recognized means of enforcing zoning and
similar land use controls, and, accordingly, the compensa-
tion provision in the Act is likely to confuse and undermine
established practices and procedures.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT A.ESOLVED by the City Council
Of the City of Huntington Beach that this body hereby de-
l.
Res. No. 2514
Glares its opposition to Section 131(g) of Public Law 89-285,
the Highway Beautification Act of 1965, and urges the Congress
to delete said provision by appropriate amendment to the
Act;
AND IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk be, and he
is hereby directed to prepare a certified copy of these resol-
utions and forward them to United States Senators Thomas H.
Kuchel and George Murphy and to Honorable Richard T. Hanna,
Representative in Congress.
