OF A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WITHIN
THE FEDERAL BUILDING TO BE BUILT IN THE
CIVIC CENTER
W~EHEAS the Central District of California ranks
twenty-second in geographical size among the present
ninety-three United States District Courts; and
WPIEREAS it is the only District among the first
seventy-seven in geographical size to have only a
single courtroom location; and
WHEREAS the Central District of California ranks
sixth of the ninety-three United States Court Districts
in the number of civil case filings; and
WHEREAS the population encompassed within the
Central District of California is the largest among the
ninety-three United States Court Districts; and
WHEREAS, it is probably that criminal filings are
likely to bear, at least in a general way, a relationship
to population and the number of civil filings; and
WHEREAS the difficulty of getting to the present
Courthouse in Los Angeles from the outlying Counties, such
as Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, due in part to
heavy freeway congestion and due in part to the complete
lack of adequate parking facilities near the present
Courthouse makes an additional courtroom location
desirable; and
WHEREAS, the above factors indicate the requirement
and desirability of an additional courtroom facility in
the Central District of California; and
WHEREAS, the location of such an additional facility
at Santa Ana in Orange County would be much more accessible,
convenient and desirable, not only for Orange County
litigants, attorneys, witnesses and jurors, but also to
most of such persons residing in Riverside and San Bernardino
Counties;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council
of the City of Santa Ana urges the creation of a United States
District Courtroom facility or Courtroom facilities in the
soon-to-be constructed Federal Building in Santa Aha,
California.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
