RESOLUTION NO. 2013-024 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />OPPOSING THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT'S <br />(SCAQMD) PROPOSED AMENDED RULE 444 PROHIBITING OPEN BURNING ON <br />BEACHES <br />WHEREAS, the SCAQMD has proposed an amendment to Rule 444 which, if <br />approved, will add beaches to the list of prohibited areas for open fire burning; and <br />WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana recognizes the important role beach <br />communities play in providing the Southern California region with passive and <br />affordable recreational opportunity; and <br />WHEREAS, many Orange County beach cities have provided fire rings on their <br />respective beaches for decades to allow beach patrons to burn fire wood for aesthetics; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, the proposed amendment to Rule 444 prohibiting open fire burning <br />will eliminate an important recreational opportunity afforded to millions of residents and <br />visitors which will greatly impact Orange County's local economy as well as visitors and <br />residents enjoyment of the beach; and <br />WHEREAS, Orange County beach communities receive millions of visitors <br />annually, and many visit our beaches for the fire ring experience; and <br />WHEREAS, it is estimated that visitors to Orange County beaches generate <br />millions of dollars in annual revenue to beach cities through parking fees, sales tax from <br />local shopping, and transient occupancy tax which indirectly benefits the economy of <br />Orange County; and <br />WHEREAS, beach communities within the jurisdiction of the SCAQMD have <br />different interests that should be considered prior to a complete ban on open burning in <br />fire rings; and <br />WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana supports each beach city's interests and <br />encourages the SCAQMD to allow each jurisdiction to decide what is best for their own <br />communities; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana does hereby <br />resolve as follows: <br />1. That the City of Santa Ana opposes the SCAQMD proposed Amended Rule <br />444 prohibiting open burning on beaches; and <br />Resolution No. 2013-024 <br />Page 1 of 2
