SUPERVISORS IN PROTESTING THE UNJUST AND
UNFAIR AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE PREMIUMS_
BEING IMPOSED ON LOCAL RESIDENTS.
WHEREAS, the automobile insurance industry establishes
rates and premiums based on the location of a person's residence
and not ort that person's driving record; and
WHEREAS, comparisons show that residents of Los Angeles
County generally and of the City of E1 Segundo in particular
pay higher, automobile insurance premiums than people living
elsewhere in California; and
WHEREAS, automobile insurance companies allege that
the high cost of repairing damaged vehicles in Los Angeles County
causes the insurance companies to charge a higher rate to drivers
of Los Angeles County; and
WHEREAS, investigations have shown that automobile
repair costs are comparatively lower in Los Angeles County than
elsewhere in California; and
WHEREAS, investigations have shown that the rate of
incidents of injury accidents in Los Angeles County generally
and in the City of El Segundo in particular is considerably
lower than in other areas in California; and
WHEREAS, such investigations demonstrate that the
automobile insurance companies are charging unjust and unfair
premiums to drivers residing in Los Angeles County generally
and in the City of El Segundo in particular.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1
