ANA URGING SUPPORT OF PROPOSITIONS A, B AND C
APPEARING ON THE NOVEMBER 3RD, ~964 GENERAL
ELECTION BALLOT
WHEREAS, Orange County Propositions A and B are of vital
concern to the citizens of the City of Santa Ana and to all of
the citizens of Orange County in that they provide for 40-year
General Obligation Bonds to provide adequate housing for vital
County departments, that is, a County courthouse and branch
court structures throughout the County of Orange and a new
County maximum security jail; and
WHEREAS, the County, of necessity, has been using temporary
structures, leases and other wasteful procedures to inadequately
house our courts throughout the County because of the failure of
former bond issues to provide adequate financing for proper court
structures; and
WHEREAS, the present jail facility, which was adequate
35 years ago, ~ now wholly inadequate and must be replaced as has
been consistently recommended by County Grand Juries these past
years; and
WHEREAS, Proposition C, presented by the City of Santa Ana
to the voters, urgently requires a "YES" vote to provide for the
acquisition of land to enlarge the Civic Center area to make room
for the logical grouping of governmental buildings of the City,
County, state and Federal; and
WHEREAS, most of the cities throughout the County of Orange
and the leading civic and service club groups within the County
are urging the "YES" vote on Propositions A, B and C as necessary
to the proper development and growth of the area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA: That this City Council urges all of the voters
of the City of Santa Ana to vote "YES" on Propositions A, B and
C as they appear on the Ballot at the General Statewide Election
on November 3rd, 1964, and to urge a "YES" vote upon their friends
and acquaintances throughout the County of Orange to insure against
the continuation of the difficult wastefulness and intolerable
conditions now existing in the housing of County departments and
the handling of maximum security prisoners and to insure against
a drastic increase in real property taxation throughout the County
which would result in the increasing of rents and costs to owner
householders.
This City Council feels that the situation has now reached
a point where action must be taken by the County and the City,
either by the approval of General Obligation Bonds spread over a
long period so that the users of these structures and this land
will assist in paying for the cost, or by direct taxation which
would put the entire burden on the present residents in 3 or 4
years time.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa
Aha at its regular meeting held on thel9th day of October, 1964.
