CC RESOLUTION 185092&2
RESOLUTION NO. 1850
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, REGARDING AMENDMENT
TO THE GOVERNMENT CODE PROVISIONS RELATING TO
INCORPORATION REQUIREMENTS.
WHEREAS, the attention of the City Council of the City
of E1 Segundo, California, has been invited to the condition which
has arisen in this highly populated County of Los Angeles through
the incorporation of small single interest areas with an inadequate
tax base; and
WHEREAS, without recognizing such problem existent with
regard to any area that has heretofore incorporated, or is trying
to incorporate, the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo does
recognize that the problem of incorporating with an inadequate tax
base is of state wide interest and concern; and
WHEREAS, the incorporation of any area where the limited
size of the community would preclude the furnishing of adequate
minimum municipal governmental services would be detrimental to
the public at large and reflect unfavorably upon municipal govern-
ment as a whole;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SE-
GUNDO, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That it recommends to the State Legislature
that the Government Code provision relating to the incorporation of
unincorporated territory be amended to provide that in a county of
over two million population, the minimum population requirement for
incorporating shall be two thousand registered voters.
SECTION 2. That it further recommends that as an alterna-
tive means of control or limit of the formation of such incorpora-
tions, a formula be set by law imposing a minimum assessed valuation,
- 1 -
9263
or any other acceptable standard assuring successful municipal
government .
SECTION 3. That the City Clerk shall certify to the
passage and adoption of this resolution; shall enter the same in
the book of original resolutions of said City; shall make a min-
ute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the pro-
ceedings of the City Council of said City in the minutes of the
meeting at which the same is passed and adopted; and shall forward
copies of this resolution to the League of California Cities and
to the State Legislators from this district.
