RESOLUTION NO. 63 -291
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY REFUTING
PUBLIC PRONOUNCEMENT BY GOVERNOR
PAT BROWN THAT NO PUBLIC TRANSPORT-
ATION SYSTEM CAN BE BUILT IN THE
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES WITHOUT THE
AID OF A TAX LEVY IN SUPPORT THEREOF
WHEREAS, Governor Pat Brown has made a public statement to
the effect that no public transportation can be built or operated
without the aid of a tax levy in support thereof, and
WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Contract Cities
Association and to cities individually a proposal by Alweg Monorail
for a rapid transit system operable without taxpayer support, and
find it meritorious,
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: That the statement of Governor Pat Brown to the
effect that no public transportation system for the general use and
benefit of the people in Los Angeles County can be operated without
tax support is a statement which is not based upon any true considera-
tion of the ability of private enterprise to provide public transporta-
tlon without cost to the taxpayer.
II SECTION 2: That the Alweg Monorail proposal appears to be
one solution to- providing a rapid transit network without taxpayer
support; that the Alweg proposal should be given further considera-
tion by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles and by
Governor Pat Brown.

SECTION 3: That private industry has not been afforded
the opportunity nor the encouragement by either the Board of Supervis-
ors or the State of California to provide a rapid transit system to
the people of Los Angeles County; that until public enterprise has
been given full opportunity to present plans, such as the Alweg Mono-
rail Plan, to the proper governmental agencies there is no factual
basis for finding that taxpayers support must be obtained before the
general public of Los Angeles County can enjoy a rapid transit system.
SECTION 4: That the City Council of the City of Temple City
directs the City Clerk to forward this Resolution to the Board of
Supervisors of Los Angeles County and to Governor Pat Brown.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 10th day of June, 1963.
