A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH OPPOSING THE CALIFORNIA SAN
PEDRO BAY INTERCONTINENTAL AIRPORT IN THE OCEAN
ADJACENT TO LONG BEACH HARBOR
WHEREAS , the City of Huntington Beach has determined that
the erection of an offshore airport as projected in the Long
Beach area would have a detrimental effect on erosion, ecology
and environment of the residents of the City of Huntington
Beach; and

that a fifteen-square-mile , man-made island, as proposed, jut-
ting out of the ocean would undoubtedly change the prevailing
ocean currents , create an eroding effect on the city' s beaches ,
and jet planes landing and taking off would produce noise
levels uncomfortable for the residents of Huntington Beach and
surrounding areas ,
NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that the the Council expresses unani-
mous opposition to the "Airport-in-the-sea" Plan, and directs
the City Clerk to transmit copies of this resolution to
Assemblyman Robert H. Burke , other appropriate state legisla-
tors , and the councils of other coast cities .
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
