A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
REQUESTING CONTINUED FEDERAL SUBSISTENCE FOR HELICOPTER
SERVICE IN THE LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN AREA TO PROVIDE
HELICOPTER SERVICES FROM DOWNEY TO THE INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT AND OTHER DESTINATIONS
----, WHEREAS, the City of Downey has been certified for scheduled helicopter
service in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area and based upon this certifica-
tion and the existing contract between Los Angeles Airways and the City of
Downey, municipal funds have been expended for the purchase of a helicopter
site to serve the citizens of Downey and the surrounding area; and
WHEREAS, the City has appropriated sufficient funds in its current
budget to properly improve the heliport in accordance with the Civil
Aeronautics Board standards to provide adequate facilities for said helicopter
service to our citizens and;
WHEREAS, previous testimonials have been submitted outlining the
importance of scheduled helicopter service to the citizens of this area,
including North American Aviation Space and Inforration Division, Aerojet
General and many other industries and commercial firms directly related to
the economy of southern California.
WHEREAS, we have been advised that the continued subsidiary to helicopter
service, if continued until the year 1970, would provide sufficient experience
and customer habits for helicopter use that the subsidiary could be discon-
tinued after 1970 in accordance with current and future conservative Federal
expenditures.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the Congress of the United States and the Bureau of the
Budget include in the budget between now and 1970, sufficient funds as rec-
ommended by the Civil Aeronautics Board for phasing out Government assistance
of helicopter operations rather than any abrupt termination of helicopter
subsistence.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
resolution.
