RESOLUTION NO. 6707
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM REQUESTING THAT MUNICIPALITIES
HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS WHICH PERTAIN TO SCHOOL
DISTRICTS WITH REFERENCE TO SURPLUS PUBLIC
PROPERTY.
WHEREAS, the Federal Government now possesses and will
continue to acquire considerable quantities of property no longer
needed for their original governmental purposes; and
WHEREAS, much of this property, declared surplus, is
stored and ultimately sold through the offices of the General
Services Administration; and
WHEREAS, certain rights and privileges to the acquisition
of this surplus property are accorded to non profit organizations
and to school jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, the rights and privileges of cities to acquire
such surplus property are severely restricted and are generally
limited to purposes of Civil Defense; and
WHEREAS, much surplus property is purchased by private
individuals for speculative purposes; and
WHEREAS, in effect, municipal jurisdictions do not have
the same rights and privileges now enjoyed by school districts
and by certain non profit groups; and
WHEREAS, all such surplus property has been purchased
with public funds and paid for by the tax payers; and
WHEREAS, it is generally deemed equitable that City
Governments should enjoy the same rights and privileges, insofar
as surplus property is concerned, now accorded to school districts
and to non profit organizations; and
WHEREAS, the rights and privileges of cities should in
all justice take precedence over the rights and privileges of
private speculators.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Anaheim hereby goes on record as favoring the adoption
of legislation and administrative rules and regulations which
will vest in cities the same rights and privileges now vested in
school districts and other non profit organizations, with respect
to the acquisition of Federal surplus property.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and signed by
me this 7th day of March, 1961.
