Fifth: This Council, in adopting this resolution, does not wish to be understood as being opposed to the extension westerly into said Pacific Ocean of the existing ocean beach in any other portion of Santa Monica Bay, excepting within the limits of said City of E1 Segundo, but rather, to definitely oppose any such construction within said City and to also oppose any construction of such nature adjacent to such City unless protective measures are provided, which will adequately protect the ocean beach frontage within said City from encroachment of sand, or accretions.of any nature, which would destroy or adversely effect the tremendous investmentsabove referred to and their continued and proper use for industrial purposes; AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk shall prepare seven certified copies of this resolution and shall deliver the same to the City Attorney of the City of E1 Segundo, who is hereby authorized and instructed by this Council to appear at the public hearing to be held before the representatives of the Corps of Engineers of the Department of the Army of the United States of America, beginning on Tuesday, March 22, 1949, at the hour of 9:00 A.
