RESOLUTION NO. 79-63
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS OPPOSITION
TO ASSEMBLY BILL 1343.
WHEREAS, the California State Assembly is considering Assembly
Bill 1343 which could have serious detrimental effects on law enforce-
ment in our State and our community; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa has determined that this legisla-
tion if passed would eliminate approximately 11,000 reserve officers
throughout the State of California; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1343 is a direct infringement upon local
government discretion in the hiring, training, and designation of
reserve officers; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1343 will not reimburse local agencies for
the additional cost incurred as a result of its passage; and
WHEREAS, the limit of ten percent on the number of police reserve
units available to cities and counties is arbitrary and does not take
into consideration need or community makeup; and
WHEREAS, this proposed legislation would eliminate the vital
participation of citizens and volunteers which is so important to our
democratic process;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Costa Mesa does declare its opposition to Assembly Bill 1343.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution shall be
directed to members of the Committee on Criminal Justice, State Repre-
sentatives of the City of Costa Mesa, and the Police Chiefs of the
cities in the County of Orange.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 4th day of June, 1979.
