RESOLUTION NO. 7687
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA SUPPORTING THE EFFORTS BY
THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL TO COMBAT
DRINKING AND DRIVING BY THE YOUTH.
WHEREAS, this year the California Highway Patrol is
placing an increased emphasis on the seriousness of drinking and
driving among graduating high school, college, and young drivers
in general, by waging a major anti-DUI(driving under the influence
of alcohol and/or drugs) campaign, and
WHEREAS, the use of alcohol and/or drugs in the age
group of 16-25 is a major problem. Forty-four percent of all
fatal alcohol and/or drug related accidents that occur at night
involve drivers in that age group. The bottom line is that each
8,000 teens and young adults are killed and over 40,000 are injured
in drinking and driving accidents, and
WHEREAS, the California Highway Patrol, in an effort to
reduce the large number of teen-age injuries and deaths attributed
to drinking and driving, is again, making officers available to
various schools in the San Gabriel Valley to conduct "rap sessions"
with the students and discuss the problems with driving under the
influence of alcohol and/or drugs. A film for showing in the class-
rooms and hand-out pamphlets are available.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA,
CALIFORNIA, recognizing the life affirming theme, behind this
program, vigorously supports these efforts by the California Highway
Patrol in attempting to combat alcoholic abuse during the graduation
celebrations in the time of late May and early June by young people.
