RESOLUTION NO. 6085
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA URGING THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY TO
INCLUDE THE CITY OF AZUSA AND OTHER
PARTICIPATING CITIES IN THE COOPERATIVE
GASOLINE PURCHASING PROGRAM FOR
1973-1974.
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent of the County of Los Angeles has recently announced
that he will not include the City of Azusa add other participating cities in the Cooperative
Gasoline Purchasing Program for 1973-1974; and
WHEREAS, the decision of the County Purchasing Agent was allegedly based on the
shortage of gasoline and the fact that some of the major oil companies would give no
assurance that they will even bid on the County's requirements; and
WHEREAS, The City of Azusa has heretofore participated in the Cooperative Gasoline
Purchasing Program at the request of the County, and the Program has achieved substantial
savings in the cost of gasoline to the County and the participating cities; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the Cooperative Gasoline Purchasing Program, the City of
Azusa and other participating cities have not made individual purchases and, therefore, have
not established a basiis for individual requirements if a gasoline shortage occurs, and the
failure to establish such individual requirements is a direct result of the Cooperative Gasoline
Purchasing Program; and
WHEREAS, if a gasoline shortage in fact occurs, there will be more reason than before
for cooperative action to insure that an adequate supply of gasoline is provided at reasonable
prices for essential county and municipal services; and
WHEREAS, cooperative action may take the form of ordinances adopted by the County
and cities within the County imposing price controls on the wholesale and retail prices of
gasoline and the requisition of gasoline from storage facilities within their respective juris-
dictions for their common use.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council urges the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles
County to require the County Purchasing Agent to include the City of Azusa and other
participating cities in the Cooperative Gasoline Purchasing Program for 1973-1974, and to
advise the suppliers of gasoline within the County of the necessity of providing an adequate
supply of gasoline at reasonable prices for essential County and municipal services, and that
if this is not achieved through the Cooperative Gasoline Purchasing Program, other appropriate
action will be taken by the County and the participants.
