RESOLUTION NO,228
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach is intensely interested in
seeing a broad and beautiful, s@ndy beach at the ocean, which is the
Southerly boundary of said city; and
WHEREAS, since the construction of the jetties whIch form a part-
of th~ general plsn and scheme of the Los Angeles Flood Control,which
said jetties are eBtended into the ocean on either side of the mouth
of A1amitos Bay, and which said jetties are entirely located within
the City of Seal Beach and were constructed by the said Los Angeles
County Flood Control District through a permit given by said City of
Seal Beach, the beach on the East side of said jetties and In the City
of Seal Beach has not been filled in as anticipated, while adjacent
to the West jetty and in the City of Long BeaCh, the beach has been
made by sand to the end of said jetty; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinIon of the City EngIneer of the City of
Seal Beach and others that said beach wIll never be extend4d and that
__ .there 111'.111 'b,e no acc:ret;!,oR~_ )1n..!;1i;L an immense flow of water used for

cooling the generators in the Los Angeles Gas and Eleotric Company
plant, adjacent thereto, have been diuerted from Its present 9utlet,
which is adjacent to and Easterly from the East jetty of said Flood
Control, as the continuous flow of the large volume of water prevents
the settling of any sand in the immediate location of said jetty;and
WH~S, it is the opinion of the City Engineer of the City of
Seal Beach and others that if the said cobling waters can be diverted
so that they will be emptIed into the channel of Alamitos Bay or some
other suitable manner evolved to dispose of saId cooling water other
than by an open ditch adjacent to and Easterly from sald,EQst ijetty,
that accretion would immediately follow, and the said City of'Seal .
Beach would be much benefited thereby, and that a considerable tract
of land would be made in the form of a broad and beautifUl beach, and
which would become the property of the State of California, and could
be utIlized by it for state park ,purposes.
NOW,THEREFORE, be it resolved that this matter be taken up with
the Division of State Lands of the Department of Finance, with a re-
