RESOLUTION NO. 93-30
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING
SENATE BILL 123 WHICH CHANGES THE REQUIRED
VOTE TO SELECT A LEAGUE OF CITIES' REPRE-
SENTATIVE TO THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY
MANAGEMENT DISTRICT (SCAQMD) BOARD OF
DIRECTORS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the current system of selecting the League of Cities' SCAQMD Board
representative requires a vote of two-thirds of Orange County cities; and
WHEREAS, this figure represents two-thirds of the County's incorporated population;
and
WHEREAS, during the past year, Orange County cities held two meetings and six
separate ballots to elect their representative; and
WHEREAS, in none of these six ballots did any candidate receive the required vote; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 123, authored by State Senator John Lewis, would eliminate this
"double two -third" standard and replace it with a "double majority" vote requirement; and
WHEREAS, such a "double majority" standard would provide a fairer method of
selecting the League of Cities' Board representative, while at the same time protecting the
interests of both larger and smaller Orange County communities;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa
Mesa supports the passage of Senate Bill 123.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 19th day of April, 1993.
