A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUESTING LOCATION OF UNITED
STATES CUSTOMS AND IPM'IIGRATION SERVICES AT
ONTARIO AIRPORT
WHEREAS, Los Angeles International Airport is the sole ter-
minal in southern California accommodating overseas commercial
flights; and
Such airport is in a heavily developed area and has become
overcrowded so that persons who must use its facilities are greatly
inconvenienced by having to travel excessive distances and wait
countless hours for service; and
The growth of industry and tourism in eastern Los Angeles
County, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and San Diego Counties
is showing some of the most accelerated gains in the nation; and
Ontario Airport is easily accessible from the counties men-
tioned above, and could handle the overflow from Los Angeles, pro-
viding relief from impacted freeway travel, costly use of fuel, as
well as saving passengers and other persons valuable time; and
Ontario Airport is presently used as a point of diversion when
Los Angeles Airport has been closed down to air travel because of
poor weather conditions ; and
The 1984 Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles, and the
influx of national and international visitors to this area could
be handled more easily and better served with additional airport
facilities,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that it hereby urges its representatives
to the Congress to make every effort to obtain approval for lo-
cating United States Customs and Immigration Services at Ontario
Airport in order that flights originating outside the United States
a hb
5/19/82 1.
Customs and Immigration Services jurisdictions may be accommodated
at such airport.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
