RESOLUTION NO. 1367
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
CALLING FOR THE DISSOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY MOSQUITO
ABATEMENT DISTRICT°
WHEREAS, the Orange County Mosquito Abatement District is composed of
a Board of Trustees representing one member from each city in Orange County
as well as a County representative for a total membership of twenty-seven
trustees; and
WHEREAS, the District's principal function is the control of water -
related vectors (mosquitoes and midges); and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Health Department has complementary functions
in vector control; and
WHEREAS, the 1972 Orange County Grand Jury report suggested that a twenty-
seven man Trustee Board was not necessary to set policy for controlling mosquitoes;
and
WHEREAS, the 1972 Orange County Grand Jury further suggested that considera-
tion be given to dissolving this special district altogether, and the control
of mosquitoes added to the functions of the County Health Department, thereby
accomplishing a better utilization of equipment and personnel, and avoid a
duplication of effort.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Cypress hereby endorses the recommendations of the 1972 Orange County Grand
Jury that the Trustee Board of the District be reduced to five members and
that dissolution of the District be pursued and mosquito abatement respon-
sibility be placed in the Vector Control section of the County Health
Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Orange County League of California Cities
is hereby requested to assist with whatever necessary legal and procedural
steps that are required to reduce the Trustee Board of the District to five
members and to dissolve the Orange County Mosquito Abatement District.
BE IT ALSO FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby authorized
to send a copy of this Resolution to the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a
