RESOLUTION N0. 66-106
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA
URGING SUPPORT OF THE HOLIDAY SAFETY PROGRAM OF THE NATIONAL
SAFETY COUNCIL.
WHEREAS, the Christmas season marks that time of year in which we
celebrate a holiday dedicated to "Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward Men";
and
WHEREAS, the prevailing spirit of Yuletide fellowship is often marred
by the occurrence of needless traffic accidents, turning a time of joy and
happiness into one of heartbreak and despair; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the National Safety
Council reminds us that more fatal accidents, including more pedestrian
deaths, happen each Christmas Eve than at any other comparable time of the
year, with darkness, speed, alcohol and pedestrian errors the causes of the
high toll; and
WHEREAS, fears have been expressed that the season's highway toll
may reach an all-time high unless drivers and pedestrians take extra pre-
caution; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the National Safety Council
is asking all organizations to eliminate the serving of alcoholic beverages
at traditional office Christmas parties as a practical attempt to eliminate a
statistically proven definite source of death and destruction on the highway;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa fully supports the holiday safety program and urges all citizens
to do everything in their power to prevent accidents during the holiday
season; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this City Council supports the program of
the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the National Safety Council and urges all
organizations having office parties and celebrations for the Christmas season
to abstain from the use of intoxicants which contribute so substantially to
holiday traffic accidents.
