A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH SUPPORTING LEGISLATION TO RE-
QUIRE RECOGNIZABLE PRICING ON ALL ITEMS OFFERED
FOR PURCHASE BY THE PUBLIC
WHEREAS, advanced computer science has instituted a system
of price coding by the manufacturer on items commonly found
in markets and groceries; and
Such coding system is not readily understood by the purchaser
of such commodities without resorting to research, and is the
source of considerable inconvenience to the public,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that it fully endorses legislation which
would require all stores which stock items bearing such manu-
facturer' s coding system, to mark all commodities offered for
sale to the public with the exact price stamped in arabic numerals
thereon so that the purchaser can readily determine and understand
the cost of such items, and urges that such legislation be enacted
forthwith.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby directed
to transmit copies of this resolution to appropriate state legis-
lators , the League of California Cities, and the Orange County
Board of Supervisors.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 15th
day of June 1981.
