A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
ENDORSING PROPOSITION 51, THE MULTIPLE DEFENDANTS
TORT DAMAGE LIABILITY INITIATIVE, ON THE
JUNE 3, 1986 BALLOT.
WHEREAS, the City of Cypress was one of the first cities to

Resolution No. 3007 on November 12, 1985; and
WHEREAS, the initiative drive has been successful in having the
measure placed on the June ballot as Proposition 51; and

adequate liability insurance coverage.

of Cypress endorses Proposition 51, the "Fair Responsibility Act of
