RESOLUTION NO. 7770
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO
CONTRIBUTE ITS EFFORTS TOWARD STATEWIDE UNIFORM
AIR POLLUTION CONTROL
WHEREAS, the likelihood of serious mortality from air
pollution in California in the near future has become increasingly
clear through newspaper reports and scientific studies; and
WHEREAS, although the degree of air pollution varies in
intensity from district to district, there can be no doubt that
even those cities relatively free from air pollution at this time
will most surely be seriously affected as the pollution spreads;
and
WHEREAS, the pattern of steady increase in air pollution
from the 1940s to the present and the varying, sometimes ineffective,
controls thus far implemented, point up the urgent need for
immediate, strict and uniform air pollution control throughout the
state, with the basic enforcement being the task of local and
regional agencies; and
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach recognizes that the
regional approach is the only way to meet the problem of imposing
statewide air quality standards, and that cities should play their
full role in developing effective machinery in order that state
and /or federal governments will not be forced to intervene;
