A communication was received from the City of Long Beach
which opposed the proposed method of financing for the
operation of a Civic Auditorium and Music Center in the
downtown Los Angeles area. The communication was a copy
of that transmitted to the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors. There was contention of the Long Beach Council
that the proposed auditorium and music center would primarily
benefit the City of Los Angeles and would be an economic
detriment to other cities, and would place an unfair burden
on the taxpayers of other communities in the area.
It was moved by Councilman Johnson, and seconded by Council-
man Ortuno that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare
a Resolution to be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors
protesting the method of financing the proposed civic
auditorium and music center in the Los Angeles downtown
area. There being no protests this motion was ordered
carried.
