A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH RELATING TO CORPS OF
ENGINEERS ' WORK ON THE SANTA ANA RIVER
AND URGING EXPEDIENCY THEREOF
WHEREAS, the Corps of Engineers proposes to make
certain works of improvement upon the Santa Ana River below
Prado Dam; and
The heavy rain storms of late 1968 and early 1969
pointed out the necessity for the herein described works of
improvement; and it is essential for the protection of the
City of Huntington Beach in the event there should be a
recurrence of storms of the intensity recently experienced
which would result in costly and tragic inundation and damage
by erosion of portions of the City of Huntington Beach;
and
The improvement of these drainage facilities is in
the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of the
citizens of the City of Huntington Beach .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the Corps of
Engineers be urged to give high priority in planning, alloca-
tion of funds and letting of contracts and commencement of
the work of improvement of the lower Santa Ana River.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That such other works of
improvement as are necessary for the protection of life and
property within the Santa Ana River Basin be undertaken on
the entire drainage system under the jurisdiction of the
Corps of Engineers from Prado Dam to the Pacific Ocean.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That copies of this reso-
lution be forwarded to the appropriate offices of the Corps
of Engineers with a transmittal letter urging their immed-
iate action.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City
of Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the
