Resolution No. 3078RESOLUTION NO. 3078
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
SUPPORTING THE LONG BEACH NAVAL SHIPYARD.
WHEREAS, the Long Beach Naval Shipyard is the second largest
employer in the Southern Los Angeles /Orange Counties area with
expenditures of 300 -350 million dollars for the last three years
annually; and
WHEREAS, these expenditures annually represent a major contribution
to the counties' business economy, tax base and employment market; and
WHEREAS, the loss of the USS Albert David and USS O'Callahan from
the Long Beach Naval Shipyard's work package and the abrogation of
contracts for the USS Peleliu and the loss of the commissioning of the
USS Missouri to San Francisco, rather than Long Beach, have resulted in a
reduction of 36% or $125,223,546 in the 1987 fiscal year budget, with an
expected layoff of 1,300 workers this summer; and
WHEREAS, a layoff now of 1,300 employees will cost the Navy between
12 - 13 million dollars to re- employ and train personnel in February 1987
when work is scheduled to be available.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Cypress City Council
endorses the efforts of the City of Long Beach and local organizations to
strive for the return of the USS Albert David and USS O'Callahan to the
Long Beach Naval Shipyard and, further, supports the Long Beach Naval
Shipyard in maintaining its active status.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution be forwarded to the U.S.
Department of Defense, Secretary of the Navy, and the appropriate Federal
legislators.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a
regular meeting held on the 14th day of April 1986.
