RESOLUTION NO. 3690
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING REMOVAL OF THE
LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES FALL CONFERENCE FROM THE
CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, the United States of America by direction of the President of the United States,
approved by the United Nations of the World, and the Congress of the United States engaged
the American Military to free the Nation of Kuwait from the invasion and tyranny imposed by
Saddam Hussein, Dictator of Iraq, and the military forces of Iraq; and
WHEREAS, every level of government as a representative of the public is affected by and
is vitally concerned with the well being of our Nation, its mission, and goals with regard to the
Persian Gulf War; and
WHEREAS, contrary to the position of the United States of American and the People of
the United States, the City of San Francisco appears to have officially sanctioned opposition to
the Persian Gulf War and taken the position contrary to the public interest by declaring their
community to be a sanctuary for those who opposed the Gulf War; and
WHEREAS, the City of El Segundo is cognizant of freedom of expression and the right to
dissent, but does believe San Francisco should be accountable for their position and should not
benefit by being the host City for numerous communities that strongly opposed the official
position of the City of San Francisco.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA,
DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City of San Francisco be eliminated as the site for the 1991 Fall
League of California Cities meeting, and that an alternative site be selected and utilized for the
