1974-323WHEREAS, the Central District of California ranks
twenty- second in geographical size among the present ninety
three United States District Courts; and
WHEREAS, it is the only district among the first
seventy -seven in geographical size to have only a single
courtroom location; and
WHEREAS, the Central District of California ranks
sixth of the ninety -three United States Court Districts in the
number of civil case filings; and
WHEREAS, the population encompassed within the Central
District of California is the largest among the ninety -three
United States Court Districts; and
WHEREAS, it is probable that criminal filings are
likely to bear, at least in a general way, a relationship to
population and the number of civil filings; and
WHEREAS, the difficulty of getting to the present
Courthouse in Los Angeles from the outlying Counties, such as
Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, due in part to heavy
freeway congestion and due in part to the complete lack of
adequate parking facilities near the present Courthouse makes
an additional courtroom location desirable; and
WHEREAS, the above factors indicate the requirements
and desirability of an additional courtroom facility in an
additional District of California; and
WHEREAS, the location of such an additional facility
at Santa Ana in Orange County would be much more accessible,
convenient and desirable, not only for Orange County litigants,
attorneys, witnesses and jurors, but also to most of such
persons residing in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of Anaheim urges the creation of a United States
District Courtroom facility or Courtroom facilities with adequate
parking in the soon -to -be constructed Federal Building in Santa
Ana, California.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and signed by me
this 2nd day of July, 1974.
