A RESOLUTION OF'THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA HONORING THE SAN DIMAS
MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM.
WHEREAS, we who live adjacent to the San Gabriel Mountains know
that beneath the soft green cover and spectacular
heights lie many hazards to which the unknowing hikers
and climbers fall prey, and
WHEREAS, as familiar as we are with these mountains, we are
equally familiar with the sight and sound of emergency
vehicles, both land and airborne, proceeding to yet
another rescue, and
WHEREAS, through the veil of fear and pain the sure and competent
hands of the SAN DIMAS MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM bring comfort,
assurance and safety to victims of ever-present
dangers hidden in the mountains, and
WHEREAS, from.a loosely structured group of dedicated men who
were solely motivated by their concern for the safety
of mountain visitors, the team was first organized
in 1955; iri 1957, it was made a part of the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department, and its members became
Reserve Deputy Sheriffs. Two things should be noted,
their pay, for insurance coverage only, is One Dollar
per person,'per year; also, while, since 1961, some
equipment and all vehicle costs are borne by the
Sheriff's Department, the team continues to be dependent
on contributions, for complete financial solvency;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Azusa, recognizing the invaluable services performed by the SAN
DIMAS MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM, joins the multitudes of appreciative
spectators and recipients alike, in expressing its sincere thanks to
this outstanding group for the large role they play in making this
area a much safer place for all of us who reside here.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 5th day of October, 1981.
