RESOLUTION NO. 83R-91
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM SUPPORTING THE ALL RIVER PLAN.
-
WHEREAS, the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers,
has been conducting Santa Ana River Basin flood control studies for
the past 18 years and has determined that the flood threat to
Orange County posed by the Santa Ana River is the worst west of the
Mississippi River due to deficiencies in the Corps of Engineers'
Prado Dam and Reservoir located on the river at Corona; and
WHEREAS, the Corps of Engineers has developed an All
River Plan for removing the flood threat from the Santa Ana River
consisting of modifying Prado Dam, channel work in Orange County
and a new dam at Mentone; said plan has been endorsed by the Boards
of Supervisors of Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange Counties and
approved at all Federal levels up to the Secretary of the Army and
the next logical step is authorization by Congress; and
WHEREAS, special water interests in San Bernardino County
have belatedly raised questions about the Mentone Dam unit of the
All River Plan and have proposed alternative dams and the Corps of
Engineers has studied and reported inconclusively on the feasibil-
ity of said dams as a substitute for Mentone Dam indicating the
need for further study; and
WHEREAS, it is entirely feasible to undertake the design
and construction of Prado Dam modifications, the Oak Street Drain
and channel improvement work in Orange County concurrently with a
final determination of the Mentone vs. Alternatives question.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Anaheim favors the authorization without further delay
of the All River Plan including Mentone Dam or an alternative to
Mentone Dam with adjustments in the final design such that the real
property acquisition line in Prado Reservoir remains the same as in
the current All River Plan at elevation 566 feet.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City is hereby directed
to forward a copy of this resolution to the Honorable Pete Wilson,
the Honorable Alan Cranston and each Member of the United States
House of Representatives representing any area of Orange County.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the
City Council of the City of Anaheim this 1 h day of Mar ,1983.
