RESOLUTION NUMBER~
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH OPPOSING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
OF MILE SQUARE PARK (A REGIONAL PARK FACILITY)
AS LIMITED USE RECREATION
WHEREAS, the Orange County Harbors, Beaches and Parks is funded through countywide
collections of ad valorem property tax levied against all privately-owned property
within Orange County, and
WHEREAS, the County of Orange owns and operates regional park facilities intended for
public use and to be accessible by the general population, and
WHEREAS, Mile Square Park is a County of Orange regional park facility and is the nearest
such facility to the City of Seal Beach; and
WHEREAS, a recent proposal to the County of Orange to develop a portion of Mile Square
Park would convert over 180 acres of generally accessible areas to limited use
recreation requiring payment to gain access, and would add a third golf course to
two previously convereted golf courses for a total of 54 "holes"; and
WHEREAS, this same proposal would result in only approximately 200 acres of the original
640 acres of Mile Square Park remaining a generally accessible public park.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
protests the conversion of a significant portion of generally accessible public regional park land
to limited use recreation, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council requests that the Orange County Board of
Supervisors reconsider this long-term displacement of a regional park paid for by all Orange
County property taxpayers, including property owners within the City of Seal Beach, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be distributed to the mayors and Council
members in all other Orange County cities with the encouragement that each council consider
taking an action similar to Seal Beach.
