1961-6728RESOLUTION N0. 6728
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM PERTAINING TO THE POSITION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM WITH RESPECT TO
DOCKET NO. 5395, ET AL., SOUTHERN ROCKY
MOUNTAIN LOCAL SERVICE CASE, BEFORE THE
CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD.
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim, California, is a
municipal corporation situated in Orange County approximately
14 miles east of the Long Beach Municipal Airport; and
WHEREAS, the population of Anaheim has increased
from 14,000 in 1952 to over 104,184 in December, 1960; and
WHEREAS, Anaheim, like so many cities in Southern
California has recently experienced tremendous growth in
industrial and residential construction, and the industrial
and economic outlook for the future is most promising; and
WHEREAS, there are located in Anaheim many large
industrial and research organizations, many of whom are engaged
in the manufacture of aircraft assemblies, jet engine com-
ponents, and other products vital to the national defense;
and
WHEREAS, there are also located in the City of
Anaheim numerous industries engaged in the production and
manufacture of chemicals, aircraft parts, electrical parts
and other products; and
WHEREAS, the only other major airports serving the
Anaheim vicinity are the International Airport in Inglewood
and the Lockheed Terminal at Burbank, both of which are
located a far greater distance from Anaheim and traffic
conditions make them even more inconvenient and time- consum-
ing to reach than even their relative distance from Anaheim
would indicate; and
WHEREAS, the Long Beach Municipal Airport by reason
of its much shorter distance and less congested traffic is
needed for use as a major airport by the residents and
businessmen of this city and the neighboring areas.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of Anaheim that the rapid industrial, residential
and business growth in the City of Anaheim and surrounding
areas has created a substantial market for air transportation.
That the needs and convenience of the traveling public re-
quire that this area be provided with more adequate air
transportation. That the Long Beach Municipal Airport, as
the closest and most convenient major airport to the City
of Anaheim and its residents, should be designated as a
terminal or intermediate point on all domestic airline routes
presently certificated to serve Southern California and on all
domestic airline routes which may be certificated to serve
Southern California as a result of the decision in the
-1-
Southern Rocky Mountain Local Service Case, Docket No. 5395,
et al., to the extent that this is legally possible.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the adoption by the
City Council of this resolution is not to be construed as
favoring or endorsing the application of any specific airline
in this proceeding. The interest of the City of Anaheim is
to assist the Civil Aeronautics Board in its determination
of the need for new and improved scheduled airline service
between the Long Beach Municipal Airport and the points within
the scope of the proceeding.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and signed by
me this 7th day of March, 1961.
