A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY URGING THE DEFEAT OF. ASSEMBLY BILL 919
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 919 has been introduced; and
WHEREAS, the effect of this assembly bill to permit the Con-
solidated County Fire Department to take over the fire department
services of various cities is contrary to the - interests of cities,
in general; and
WHEREAS, said bill provides that, once such services are taken
over by the County Fire Department, there can be withdrawal there-
from only by a vote of the people; and
WHEREAS, it has been established that it is less expensive to

County Fire Department;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That it is respectfully urged that Assembly
Bill 919 not be adopted by the Legislature of this State, as to do
