A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUESTING THE CREATION OF A
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTROOM FACILITY IN
SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, the Central District of California ranks twenty-
second in geographical size among the present ninety-three
United States District Courts and the Central District of California
ranks sixth of the ninety-three United States Court Districts in
the number of civil case filings, and criminal filings are likely
to bear, at least in a general way , a relationship to population
and the number of civil filings ; and
The population encompassed within the Central District of
California is the largest among the ninety-three United States
Districts; and
It is the only district among the first seventy-seven in
geographical size to have only a single courtroom location; 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 heavyfreeway congestion and due,
in part, to the complete lack of adequate parking facilities
near the present courthouse makes an additional courtroom loca-
tion desirable; and
The above factors indicate the requirement and desirability
of an additional courtroom facility in an additional District
of California; and
The location of such an additional facility at Santa Ana
in Orange County would be accessible, convenient and desirable,
not only for Orange County litigants, attorneys , witnesses and
jurors , but also to most such persons residing in Riverside and
San Bernardino Counties,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach urges the creation of a United States
er 1.
District courtroom facility or courtroom facilities in the
Federal building to be constructed at Santa Ana, California.
PASSED AND ADOPED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 15th
day of July, 1974 .
