RESOLUTION NO. 7'944
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
OPPOSING A.B. 801
WHEREAS, A.B. 801 has been introduced in the 1961 Regular Session
of the California State Legislature, which bill extends to private
housing the government- enforced prohibition against discrimination in
the sale of renting of public housing.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY RESOLVES:
SECTION 1: That this City Council expresses its opposition to
A.B. 801 for the following reasons:
1. It interfers with the traditional American right to
hold and sell property as the owner sees fit.
2. It proposes an unwarranted expansion of government.
3. It attempts to legislate morality.
4. It is vague in definition, susceptible to misin-
terpretation, wide open to abuse, and will be waste-
fully expensive to police.
SECTION 2: That this City Council supports voluntary fair treatment
of all citizens, by such policies as its merit system of fair City
employment practices.
SECTION 3. The Clerk of the City Council shall certify to the
adoption of this resolution, and shall cause copies to be sent to
appropriate representatives.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this day of / , 1961.
