CC RESOLUTION 4076RESOLUTION NO. 4076
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED EXPANSION OF LAX
WHEREAS, the proposed expansion of LAX would place unsafe, unfair,
and unacceptable burdens on the community of El Segundo and many other
communities in the region; and
WHEREAS, expanding air traffic at LAX is not necessary for the region's
prosperity, since future air traffic demand can be met at other airports in communities
throughout Southern California, expecially at airports in communities that will
experience the highest rates of population growth in the region over the next two
decades; and
WHEREAS, serving the regional air transportation needs of Southern
California by way of airports dispersed throughout the region will reduce
environmental impacts, particularly air quality and traffic impacts, in comparison to a
massive expansion of LAX.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council strongly opposes the proposed
expansion of Los Angeles International Airport.
SECTION 2. That the City Council will use its resources to build a
regional coalition in support of these objectives. We will make our case throughout the
region, to our state and federal governments, and in the courts if necessary. No-one
should underestimate the City of El Segundo's resolve to use whatever means available,
both political and legal, to assure that unfair burdens are not placed upon our
community and that a responsible plan is developed to meet the regional aviation needs
of Southern California.
SECTION 3. That this Resolution shall take effect immediately.
SECTION 4. That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption
of this Resolution, shall enter the same in the book of original resolutions of said City,
and shall make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the
proceedings of the City Council of said City, in the minutes of the meeting at which the
same is passed and adopted.
