RESOLUTION NO. 2805
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, URGING
THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
TO AMEND EXISTING LAW THAT IMPEDES OR PRE-
VENTS TIMELY LICENSING OF ESSENTIAL POWER
PROJECTS.
WHEREAS, the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission has found that the need exists for addi-
tional energy in Southern California; and
WHEREAS, state legislation enacted during the 1975 -76
session requires that the State Energy Resources Conservation
and Development Commission make specified findings regarding
nuclear fuel reprocessing and waste management before any project
can be licensed; and
WHEREAS, the President of the United States has called
for the use of nuclear power to provide a share of the nation's
energy production, but because of concern over the risk of the
proliferation of nuclear weapons, has also announced that the
federal government will defer indefinitely the commercial re-
processing of nuclear fuel, thereby preventing the State Energy
Resources Conservation and Development Commission from making
said findings; and
WHEREAS, the inability to make such findings because
of said change in federal policy will make licensing of needed
power plants impossible without amendment of the law;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of
the City of E1 Segundo, California as follows:
That the City of E1 Segundo urges the Legislature
and the Governor of California to take all actions made necessary
by changes in Federal policy immediately to amend existing law,
specifically California Public Resources Code, Sections 25524.1
and 25524.2, that now impedes or prevents the timely licensing .
of essential power projects; and

will be provided electric power from any project to enact similar
resolutions urging reform of the State's laws; and
