A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CALLING FOR THE DISSOLUTION
OF THE ORANGE COUNTY MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the Orange County Mosquito Abatement District
is composed of a Board of Trustees representing one member
from each city in Orange County as well as a County repre-
sentative for a total membership of twenty-seven trustees;
and
The District ' s principal function is the control of
water-related vectors (mosquitors and midges) ; and
The Orange County Health Department has complementary
functions in vector control; and
The 1972 Orange County Grand Jury report suggested that
a twenty-seven man Trustee Board was not necessary to set
policy for controlling mosquitoes ; and
The 1972 Orange County Grand Jury further suggested that
consideration be given to dissolving this special district
altogether, and the control of mosquitoes added to the functions
of the County Health Department, thereby accomplishing a better
utilization of equipment and personnel, and avoid a duplication
of effort,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach hereby endorses the recommenda-
tions of the 1972 Orange County Grand Jury that the Trustee
Board of the District be reduced to five members and that
dissolution of the District be pursued and mosquito abatement
responsibility be placed in the Vector Control section of the
County Health Department .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Orange County League of
California Cities is hereby requested to assist with whatever
1.
necessary legal and procedural steps that are required to
reduce the Trustee Board of the District to five members and
to dissolve the Orange County Mosquito Abatement District .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby
authorized to send copies of this resolution to the Orange
County Board of Supervisors, the Intergovernmental Coordina-
ting Council, the Local Agency Formation Commission and each
city in Orange County.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 2nd
day of July, 1973.
