A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA,
CALIFORNIA, COMMENDING THE EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING PARTICIPATION IN THE
UNITED WAY PROGRAM IN 1972 AND ENCOURAGING THAT THIS
ATTITUDE BE CONTINUED DURING THE CURRENT CAMPAIGN.
WHEREAS, the 1972 United Way Campaign for City employees proved to
be the most successful charitable fund-raising program in the history of
the City; and
WHEREAS, the employee contributions for 1972 more than doubled the
previous year's amount, thereby increasing from $6,000 to more than $12,000;
and
WHEREAS, this total contribution resulted in an average gift per
employee of more than $30.00; and
WHEREAS, this average gift per employee was significant enough to
place Costa Mesa number two in the United States, behind only Milwaukee;
and
WHEREAS, the spirit of community interest and enthusiasm was reflected
throughout the entire employee population as more than 90 per cent of all
employees of the City of Costa Mesa did in fact contribute; and
WHEREAS, this level of giving and degree of participation far exceeds
the various forms of mediocrity found in other public agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, California,
does hereby resolve that the employees of the City of Costa Mesa be given
the highest commendations for their outstanding response to the problems
of community need. Furthermore, it is hoped that this spirit of unselfishness
can be established as an example for this year and future campaigns to come.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 16th day of October, 1972.
