THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALI-
FORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER
AS FOLLOWS:
First: Said Council hereby finds that the facts as
recited in the preamble of this resolution are true.
Second: That the Mayor and City Clerk of the City of
El Segundo, be and they are hereby authorized and instructed
to make, execute and deliver, on behalf of said City and in
its name, a quitclaim deed to said North American Aviation,
Inc., a corporation, (in form approved by the City Attorney)
quitclaiming to said last mentioned corporation the said
respective easements, insofar as they pertain to and affect
said respective parcels of land hereinabove described only,
as the City Council feels that the retention of said ease-
ments by said City over said particular parcels of land,
would be inequitable and unjust when the City does not have,
and apparently will not have, any further need of the same
so far as said particular parcels are concerned.
On roll call, the foregoing resolution was adopted by the following
vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Gordon, Peterson, Swanson and Mayor Selby;
Noes: Councilmen None;
Absent: Councilman Thompson.

mendations heretofore made by the Planning Commission and as a re-
sult of hearings held by the City Council.
