A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH RESPECTING A COMPROMISE
PROPOSAL RELATING TO THE MORATORIUM ON OFFSHORE
OIL DRILLING ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COASTLINE
WHEREAS, a moratorium has been placed on offshore oil
drilling in the coastal waters of the State of California; and
A tentative proposal has been agreed upon between the
Secretary of the Interior and certain representatives to the
United States Congress from California to permit offshore oil
drilling during such moratorium in exchange for protection of
specified portions of the coastline until the year 2000; and
Such protection has been offered scenic areas such as Big
Sur, Malibu, Marin County, Monterey and San Diego; and
The County of Orange and the cities of Huntington Beach,
Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and San Clemente merit treatment
equal to that afforded other coastal areas of California, and
should be included in any compromise proposal under
consideration,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that it will vigorously oppose any
compromise proposal which is not modified to include equal
protection measures for the coastal resources of Orange County
and its beach cities, and will support a continued moratorium
on offshore oil drilling along California' s entire coast.
FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is directed to furnish
copies of this resolution to the Orange County Board of
Supervisors, the United States Secretary of the Interior, and
California' s representatives to the Congress.
