RESOLUTION NO. 7696
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
• OF NEWPORT BEACH OPPOSING THE PASSAGE OF
SB 859 INTRODUCED BY SENATOR WILLIAM COOMBS
REGARDING FREEWAY LOCATIONS AND AGREEMENTS
WHEREAS, SB 859, introduced by Senator William Coombs
would, under certain circumstances, authorize the Department of
Public Works to construct a State freeway through a city and to
acquire right of way therein for the freeway even though the city
has not executed a street and freeway closing agreement with the
department; and
WHEREAS, although SB 859 as written does not apply to
the City of Newport Beach, the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach finds that the passage of such a bill would set an undesirable
precedent in that it could, at a later date, be made applicable to
all cities within the State; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach is
opposed to any legislation which would hinder its efforts to solve
the problem of the coastal freeway in the City of Newport Beach; and
WHEREAS, SB 859 is not responsive to the needs or desires
of the citizens of the City of Newport Beach;
