RESOLUTION NO. 2107
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, ENDORSING
COUNTY PROPOSITIONS "A" AND "B" ON THE
NOVEMBER 3, 1964 BALLOT.
WHEREAS, Proposition "A' on the November 3 ballot pro-
vides for a new 800 -bed Olive View Hospital to replace substandard
wooden buildings erected 44 years ago which are wholly inadequate for
modern hospital care and treatment, are considered fire hazards, and
the cost of operating these buildings now spread out over a wide area
could be greatly reduced by modern and more efficient facilities; and
WHEREAS, a new Childrents Hospital at Rancho Los Amigos
in Downey is also provided for in Proposition "A' to care for 120 children
suffering from chronic and long -term disabilities who are presently
housed with adults with similar problems, therefore not receiving the
beneficial psychological and rehabilitation results they can achieve when
grouped together; and
WHEREAS, Proposition "A" also calls for modernization pro-
jects at the General Hospital, including 16 new surgeries and a proposed
laboratory, thus keeping pace with the fantastic growth of the County which
has seen the hospital's bed patient count rise from 58, 000 to 135, 000 in
30 years, and is now so overcrowded in its surgeries that needed sur-
gery is often postponed for lengthy periods for lack of space; and
WHEREAS, Proposition "B" on the November 3 ballot provides
for the building of a new MacLaren Hall to replace inadequate, overcrowded
facilities for non - delinquent children from infancy to 18 years accepted
under tragic circumstances, including abandonment, neglect, child beat-
ing or sexual assault, who currently must be cared for without the best
type of security, supervision or efficient staff functions; and
WHEREAS, an increase in the capacity of Los Padrinos
Branch Juvenile Hall is provided for in Proposition "B" from the present
310 beds to 400 for the temporary care of juveniles who must be held in
custody by the Probation Department pending the disposition of their cases
-1-
10190
by Juvenile Court, thus alleviating critical overcrowding, where fre-
quently 70 boys on the average must sleep on the floor because of bed
shortages; and
WHEREAS, all these projects represent urgent needs of
Countywide benefit and of public interest and represent facilities of
a long- range, non - recurring nature which should be financed through
the issuance of bonds; and
WHEREAS, the bond issues total $26, 680, 000 for Proposi-
tion "A' and $8, 590, 000 for Proposition "B ";
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Coun-
cil of the City of E1 Segundo, California, wholeheartedly endorse Proposi-
tions "A" and "B" and urgently request all citizens to vote "Yes" on these
propositions on the November 3, 1964 ballot as being in the best interests
of meeting the future needs of Los Angeles County.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 26th day of October,
