A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH DECLARING ITS POSITION ON THE
ORANGE COUNTY HARBOR DISTRICT AND APPROVING THE
PROGRAM OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEAGUE OF CITIES
TO INITIATE DISSOLUTION PROCEEDINGS.
WHEREAS, the taxpayers within the Orange County Harbor
District should have an opportunity to determine their future
with regard to harbor facilities and services, and
The original purpose of said harbor district, to wit.
to develop and maintain Newport Harbor, has been so greatly
changed, altered and added to by legislative amendments that
the present purposes and powers of the harbor district are
entirely different from the original purposes and powers of
said district, and
There appears to be some overlapping of jurisdiction
between the harbor district and certain cities relating to law
enforcement and fire fighting, and
There appears to be some expenditures by the harbor
district of funds for local benefit rather than regional
recreational benefit, and
There exists a separate taxing jurisdiction in the
agency of the harbor district, which levies taxes to be used
exclusively for harbor purposes , and
There exists two parallel administrative agencies , the
district and the county, for the administration of the regional
harbors , beaches and parks program in Orange County, and
Representatives of twenty-four cities in Orange
County in April, 1968, at the League of Cities Board meeting,
voted that "action be taken to cause the dissolution of the
Orange County Harbor District as it now exists , " and "that the
functions of said Harbor District be undertaken by a separate
department of the county government in conjunction with parks ,
beaches , harbors , and regional recreation generally, " and
It would be of benefit to the residents and taxpayers
in both the cities of Orange County and the county generally to
undertake these changes,
NOW,, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach does hereby resolve as follows:
1. That it is in the best interests of the citizens
of thi& .city and Orange County (a) that the Orange County Harbor
District be dissolved, and (b) that the duties and functions of
said district be transferred to a Cojnty Department of Parks ,
Beaches and Harbors under the County Administrative Officer of
Orange County and the Board of Supervisors of Orange County.
2. That the city' s representative to the Executive
Committee of the Orange County League of Cities is hereby auth-
orized to vote in favor of the plan proposed by the League of
Cities Harbor District Dissolution Committee.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of Huntington
Beach at an adjourned regular meeting held on the 29th day of
January, 1969.
