RESOLUTION NO. 69-1-13-1
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO DECLARING ITS
POSITION ON THE ORANGE COUNTY HARBOR DIS-
TRICT AND APPROVING THE PROGRAM OF THE
ORANGE COUNTY LEAGUE OF CITIES TO INITIATE
DISSOLUTION PROCEEDINGS
WHEREAS, the taxpayers within the Orange County Harbor District
should have an opportunity to determine their future with regard to
harbor facilities and services; and
The original purpose of said harbor district, to -wit: to _
develop and maintain Newport Harbor, has been so greatly changed,
altered and added to by legislative amendments that the present
purposes, powers and philosophy of the harbor district are entirely
different from the original purposes, powers and philosophy of said
district; and
There appears to be some overlapping of jurisdiction between
the Harbor District and certain cities relating to law enforcement
and fire fighting; and
There appears to be some expenditures by the Harbor District
of funds for local benefit rather than regional recreational
benefit; and
There exists a separate taxing jurisdiction in the agency of
the Harbor District, which levies taxes to be used exclusively for
harbor purposes; and
There exists two parallel administrative agencies, the District
and the County, for the administration of the regional harbors,
beaches and parks program in Orange County; and
WHEREAS, representatives of twenty-four of the cities in Orange
County in April, 1968, at the League of Cities Board meeting, voted _
that "action be taken to cause the dissolution of the Orange County
Harbor District as it now exists," and "that the functions of said
Harbor District be undertaken by a separate department of the
County government in conjunction with parks, beaches, harbors, and
regional recreation generally," and
It would be of benefit to the residents and taxpayers in both
the cities of Orange County and the County generally to undertake
these changes;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Juan
5'7
Capistrano does hereby resolve as follows:
1. That it is in the best interests of the citizens of this
city and Orange County (a) that the Orange County Harbor District
be dissolved, and (b) that the duties and functions of said district
be transferred to a County Department of Parks, Beaches and Harbors
under the County Administrative Officer of Orange County and the
Board of Supervisors of Orange County.
2. That the city's representative to the Executive Committee
of the Orange County League of Cities is hereby authorized to vote
in favor of the plan proposed by the League of Cities Harbor District
Dissolution Committee.
PASSED and ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of San Juan
Capistrano at a regular meeting held on the 13th day of January,
1969.
