94-089 RESOLUTION NO. 94R-89
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM EXPRESSING
SUPPORT FOR THE "COMMITTEE FOR
21,000 NEW JOBS" EFFORTS TO PLACE
THE "ORANGE COUNTY/EL TORO ECONOMIC
STIMULUS INITIATIVE" ON THE BALLOT
WHEREAS, the United States government has decided to
close the Marine Corps Air Station at E1 Toro (MCAS/E1 Toro); and
WHEREAS, the MCAS/E1 Toro is a resource of county-wide
impact and significance; and
WHEREAS, MCAS/E1 Toro is currently a fully operational
Marine Corps master jet aircraft facility, with twin 10,000 foot
and 8,000 foot runways and 75 acres of aircraft parking pavement;
and
WHEREAS, Orange County's future economic well-being
would be greatly enhanced by the addition of either an
international or air-freight airport facility within the County;
and
WHEREAS, the Southern California Association of
Governments has determined that MCAS/E1 Toro can accommodate over
4 million passengers per year without impacting the viability of
John Wayne Airport; and
WHEREAS, John Wayne Airport is constrained from
expansion of operations both legally and physically, and can not
meet the future air passenger and air freight needs of Orange
County; and
WHEREAS, MCAS/E1 Toro is the only identified,
reasonable site for location of an additional airport in Orange
County; and
WHEREAS, Orange County residents and business must pay
elevated rates for air-freight delivery due to the lack of air-
freight capacity in Orange County; and
WHEREAS, conversion of the MCAS/E1 Toro to commercial
airport uses could generate over 21,000 new jobs and increase
business revenues by over $1.7 billion in Orange County; and
WHEREAS, the MCAS/E1 Toro is a regional asset whose use
should be determined by a regionally representative decision
process;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Anaheim supports the efforts of the "Committee for
21,000 New Jobs," through the initiative process, to allow the
voters of Orange County to decide whether or not a portion of the
MCAS/E1 Toro should be reserved exclusively for commercial
airport uses.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the
City Council of the City of Anaheim this 7th day of
June 1994.
