Allen, Judge Bernard Lawler, City Judge of the City of El Segundo,
addressed the'Council with respect to a meeting he and Council-
man Swanson had attended this date, which meeting was also
attended by City Managers, and members of City Councils and
other municipal officers of the cities in the South Bay Area,
and at which meeting it was generally agreed that the.popula-
tion which each individual judge will be expected to serve under
the recommendations made by the Chief Administration Officer
of the County of Los Angeles is extremely high; that for the
area set up for Inglewood -South Bay District, it was felt that
a minimum of six judges would be required; that under the present
law the Board of Supervisors is delegated to fix the boundaries
of the judicial districts, but the Legislature is given authority
to fix the number of judges for each district.
Judge Lawler further stated that no recommendations were
being made to the Board of Supervisors at this time by the
various cities affected, with reference to the boundary lines
of the districts, but he did feel that recommendations should be
made with reference to increasing the number of judges allocated.
Following the report of Judge Lawler, it was moved by

which report, the City Council also notes, has a column
indicating the proposed number of judges for said re-
spective districts;
AND, WHEREAS, although the time allowed for con -
sideration of said report is limited, the Council has,
nevertheless, given the same as much consideration as
possible, and feels that the observations hereinafter
made are founded upon sound considerations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council
of the City of E1 Segundo, California, as follows:
First: With reference to the boundaries of the
respective districts, as indicated upon the map re-
ferred to in the said report of said Administrative
Officer, and particularly with reference to the Inglewood -
South Bay Districts, this Council feels that there has
not been a sufficient opportunity given to study that
portion of said report and therefore has no comments
at this time.
Second: This Council does, however, emphatically
feel that the number of judges proposed in said report
to serve said districts should be increased by at least two.
Third: That the City Clerk be and he is hereby
authorized to forward a certified copy of this resolu-
tion to Wayne Allen, Chief Administrative Officer, as
the response of the City of E1 Segundo to the request
contained in the letter of transmittal of said report
