A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH URGING THE CREATION OF
A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTROOM FACILITY
IN THE PROJECTED SANTA ANA FEDERAL BUILDING
WHEREAS , the Central District of California ranks twenty-
second in geographical size among the present ninety-three
United States District Courts ; and
It is the only district among the first seventy-seven in
geographical size to have only a single courtroom location; and
The Central District of California ranks sixth of the
ninety-three United States Court Districts in the number of
civil case filings ; and
The population encompassed within the Central District of
California is the largest among the ninety-three United States
Court Districts ; and
It is probable that criminal filings are likely to bear,
at least in a general way , a relationship to population and
the number of civil filings ; and
The difficulty of getting to the present courthouse in
Los Angeles from the outlying counties , such as Orange,
Riverside and San Bernardino, due in part to heavy freeway
congestion and due in part to the complete lack of adequate
parking facilities near the present courthouse , makes an
additional courtroom location desirable ; and
The above factors indicate the requirement and desirability
of an additional courtroom facility in the Central District
of California; and
The location of such an additional facility at Santa Ana
in Orange County would be much more accessible , convenient
and desirable , not only for Orange County litigants , attorneys ,
1.
witnesses and jurors , but also to most of such persons residing
in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties ,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach urges the creation of a United States District Courtroom
facility or courtroom facilities in the projected federal
building in Santa Ana, California.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 16th
day of August , 1971 .
