SANTA ANA DECLARING T~T NO CITY PROSECUTOR IS CHARGED
WITH THE DUTY OF PROSECUTING MISDEMEANOR OFFENSES RE-
SULTING FROM VIOLATION OF STATE STATUTES AND REQUESTING
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF ORANGE COUNTY TO PROVIDE FOR
PROSECUTION OF SUCH OFFENSES
~REAS, the reorganization of inferior courts in the State
of California has resulted in the establishment of the Municipal
Court of Santa Ana-0range Judicial District which said Court has
jurisdiction of all misdemeanors arising in the City of Santa Aha;
and
WHEREAS, some Deputy from the District Attorney's Office is
almost constantly in attendance at such Court during such times as
are there provided for the hearing of criminal matters; and
~EREAS, on the l~th day of April, 1953 at the hour of 8
o'clock P. M. the Charter of the City of Santa Ana became effective
for all purposes and thereby provided a new form of government for
said City and there is not now, any City Prosecutor or Officer
charged with the duty of prosecuting misdemeanor offenses arising
upon violations of the statutes of the State of California and in
the opinion of the City Council such prosecution of misdemeanor of-
lenses arising under violations of the statutes of the State of Cal-
ifornia does not warrant the attention of the City Attorney of said
City and would be properly handled by the Office of the District
Attorney of Orange County and greater efficiency would result by the
assignment of a Deputy from the Office of said District Attorney to
said Court for all criminal actions prosecuted therein from whatever
portion of said Judicial District they might arise;
NOW, T~LLEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED; THat the City Council of the
City of Santa Aha hereby requests the District Attorney of Orange
County, California to prosecute all misdemeanor offenses arising
upon violation of the statutes of the State of California occurring
within the incorporated limits of the City of Santa Aha.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa Aha
at its special meeting held on the 14th day of April, 1953.
