CC RESOLUTION 2117A10907
RESOLUTION NO. 2117a
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING
SENATE BILLS NOS. 335 AND 336 PERTAINING
TO THE OPERATION OF AIRPORTS.
WHEREAS, Senate Bill No. 335 and Senate Bill No. 336,
respectively, provide, (1) that property owners near airports must
endure those inconveniences that are not harmful to the health or com-
fort of ordinary people, and (2) authorizes a county, city or airport dis-
trict to acquire, by eminent domain, the air space above private property
for airport use such as takeoff and landing pads; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill No. 335 and Senate Bill No. 336 are
proposed legislative enactments that will not correct wrongs which have
been and are being perpetrated, and are statutory implements directed
to the defeat of the rights of the property owner to obtain proper compen-
sation for property, the use of which is destroyed or damaged by airport
activities; and
WHEREAS, these Senate Bills will defeat court determina-
tions that airport noises can and do damagingly deprive homeowners of
the use of their homes; and
WHEREAS, the taking of the air space over a home for take-
off and landing patterns also can and does similarly damage the home-
owner in his ownership; and
WHEREAS, full damages from excessive airport noises and
low flying plane noises should be fully compensable, as in other instances
of a public taking, unrestricted by biased legislation such as suggested
by Senate Bills Nos. 335 and 336; and
WHEREAS, these proposed enactments, Senate Bills Nos. 335
and 336 are completely objectionable and directly opposite to the public
interest;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo,
10
is unalterably opposed to the passage and adoption of Senate Bill No. 335
and Senate Bill No. 336 for the reasons hereinabove set forth and urges

fied copies of this resolution to Randolph Collier and Thomas M. Rees,
Senators of the State of California; to Donald L. Grunsky, Tom C. Carrell
