CC RESOLUTION 20170 a� RESOLUTION NO. 2017 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, URGING THE ADOPTION OF LEGISLATION PROHIBITING USE OF HARMFUL FUMES IN THE MANUFACTURE OF MODEL GLUE AND RELATED SUBSTANCES WITHOUT THE USE OF A REPELLENT ODOR DISCOURAGING THE VOLUNTARY BREATHING OR INHALATION OF SUCH FUMES. WHEREAS, the practice of inhaling harmful fumes of pro- ducts readily available to all, and particularly available to the youth of our area, has resulted in an alarming amount of abuse, endanger- ing health and imposing permanent injury to many; and WHEREAS, the availability of such harmful fumes for in- haling purposes could be removed by the use of other substances which would not lend themselves to such abuse and through the use of addi- tional substances which would be repulsive and preclude the abusive use of the substances that have been the subject of inhalation; and WHEREAS, a realistic solution and determination of the outrageous practice of inhaling these harmful fumes readily can be effected by proper regulatory legislative enactment; NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA DOES FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That the State Department of Public Health is urged to initiate its investigation into all phases of the alarming practice of inhaling glue fumes and other substances, with the ultimate purpose in mind of eliminating from the manufacture of all products available to the public, every element found to be harmful to human tissue, organs or life upon breathing or inhaling the same, and requiring the addition, to such substances that cannot be eliminated, a semi - offensive odor which would repel the voluntary breathing and inhalation thereof. SECTION 2. That the City Clerk is directed to send a certi- fied copy of this resolution to each state and federal legislator represent- -1- ing the people of this community. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 13th day of November, 1962.
