A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT ORANGE
COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT DIRECTORS BE ELECTED BY
A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.
WHEREAS, a cherished tradition of the American people is "no
taxation without representation"; and

makes expenditures for the residents of Orange County; and
WHEREAS, the District Directors make decisions which greatly
affect transportation within the County and which have long-range
development implications for the residents of Orange County; and
WHEREAS, these Directors are not now directly elected to these
important positions but rather are appointed in an indirect manner; and
WHEREAS, the voters of Orange County have consistently indicated
an ability to intelligently vote for persons to represent their needs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa does hereby recommend that the California Legislature act to
permit Orange County voters to directly elect persons to represent their
interests on the Orange County Transit District Board of Directors.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of January, 1975.
