RESOLUTION NO. 2120
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO URGING THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
TO OPPOSE CONSOLIDATION OF ALL MUNICIPAL
COURTS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY INTO ONE
COUNTY -WIDE MUNICIPAL COURT DISTRICT.
WHEREAS, the proposed legislation to consolidate all of
the Municipal Courts of the County would substantially deny to the com-
munities of Los Angeles County local control; and
WHEREAS, the proposed consolidation would only be a theo-
retical economy and would result in the loss of Police man hours thru
additional travel time to more distant courts; would be more inconvenient
to witnesses and litigants residing in our community; and
WHEREAS, this Los Angeles County Division of the League of
California Cities has made an extensive and intelligent study of the consoli-
dation of courts in this County and its report goes next to the Association
of Municipal Court Judges of Los Angeles County for approval, and if
approved by that body, then will go to the Board of Supervisors of Los
Angeles County, then to the Judicial Council of California and to the
Assembly Judiciary Committee; and
WHEREAS, this unexpected and sudden action presently pro-
posed by the Board of Supervisors would be in complete disregard of the
Leaguets report that has the depth of careful and professional study;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE
AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles
County is earnestly requested to deny any favorable consideration of the
proposed consolidation of all Municipal Courts of Los Angeles County into
one county -wide Municipal Court District.

hold any action on a proposed consolidation of any nature until after the
