RESOLUTION NUMBER .;l'lJ 1
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF TIlE CITY
OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA. AFFIRMING ITS
OPPOSITION TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INTERVAL
HOUSE FOR BATTERED WOMEN IN THE CITY OF SEAL
BEACH WITHOUT CITY COUNCIL SUPPORT,
it has been deemed appropriate by a Board of Directors to establish
an Interval House for Battered Women at 1609 Island View in the City
of Seal Beach; and
State Legislation has stripped the power of local control from the
citizens of Seal Beach to prohibit or approve of said Interval House;
and
through petitions. phone conversations with city officials and the
news media, significant objection to the establishment of said Interval
House is evident; and \
a hostile community environment prevails around the proposed site for
the Interval House; and
a program of this nature may add non-subsidized costs to the city through
the use of fire and police personnel; and
this program establishes a 24 hour/day care refuge for women and a child
care facility in the middle of a single-family area; and
in addition to welfare programs. elected officials have a moral obligation
to maintain the integrity of long established residential areas; and
most of the elected officials endorsing the establishment of this
welfare program in Seal Beach are not representatives nor residents of
the City of Seal Beach; and
WHEREAS. it is inconsiderate and inappropriate for elected officials from other
cities and outside organizations to force social welfare programs upon
neighboring cities and communities; and
WHEREAS, such action tends to destroy the sovereignty of the individual cities
and promotes hostile, relations among neighboring cities and communi-
ties,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
does hereby affirm its opposition to the location proposed for the establishment
of the Interval House at 1609 Island View; and further opposes its establishment
in any area of the city. without a consensus of community and City Council
support.
