A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING HR 5789
(BROWN) , LEGISLATION TO ESTABLISH A NEW DIVISION
OF THE CENTRAL JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
IN RIVERSIDE.
WHEREAS, the only place of holding Federal Court in the.:_..Central-
Judi.cial District of California is in Los Angeles; and
WHEREAS, the area in and around Los Angeles is sufficiently
congested to make travel by automobile very time consuming and travel by
public transportation, especially for those residents who live outside
the City of Los Angeles, is nearly impossible because of the almost total `
lack of public transportation facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Administration Office - of the -United States Courts ` R
has recommended a Tri-County Divisional Office within the Central District'
of California, within which a Federal District Court would sit to hear a ,-
matter of a federal nature arising in Orange, Riverside, and San Bernar-
dino counties; and
WHEREAS, population studies show that Riverside and San Bernar-
dino counties are the two. fastest growing counties in the State, accord-
ing to the State Department of Finance; and
WHEREAS, while Orange County also shows increases in their
population, consideration should be given to the accessability and con-
venience of residents of outlying areas, such as Palm Springs, 29 Palms,
Coachella, and others:
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace
DOES RESOLVE THE FOLLOWING:
I . That a Tri-County Division of the Central District of
California be established in an area convenient to the population centers
of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties;
2. That Congress appropriate sufficient funds for the Adminis-
trative Office to study the demographics of the proposed Tri-County
Division as they now exist and as they are projected in the future; .and,
on the basis of such study, locate the court in the area most centrally
located for the geography and present and future population within the
area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk be directed to.send
this Resolution to Representatives George- Brown, Jr. , and Jerry Lewis,
Senator Alan Cranston, and Senator S. I . Hayakawa.
