RESOLUTION NO. 3307
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WEST COVINA URGING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
TO SUPPORT LEGISLATION INCREASING CITY CONTROL OVER
THE LOCATION AND TYPE OF TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
LINES, TELEPHONE, TELEVISION, AND OTHER OVERHEAD
UTILITY LINES WITHIN CORPORATE LIMITS OF CITIES.
WHEREAS, cities are responsible for guiding the physical
development of land within their jurisdictions for the purpose of
creating the type of living and working environment desired by the
community; and
WHEREAS, the location of such overhead utility lines is a
significant factor in the physical environment; and
WHEREAS, the authority of cities to control the location of .
such overhead utility lines is circumscribed by their lack of control
of easements over state-owned property, notably highways, within and
through cities; and
WHEREAS, this lack of control sometimes results in the dese-
cration of the physical environment that has been nurtured by the
community;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of West Covina that: 1. The STATE LEAGUE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES is urged to sponsor legislation
which will give cities control over the location and type of
transmission and distribution lines, telephone, television and other
overhead utility lines within corporate limits of cities. 2. The
CITY CLERK is instructed to certify to the adoption of this resolu-
tion and to send a certified copy thereof to the State League
Board of Directors.
Adopted and approved this 24th day of January 1966.
