WHEREAS, the present apportionment of the State Legislature
is known as the "Federal Plan" and is modeled on the method by
which members of Congress are selected, and provides for repre-
sertation in the Assembly' based upon population, and representa-
tion in the Senate based upon geographical districts; and,
WHEREAS, the present Senate apportionment is constituted to,
and does, safeguard the interests of the less populated areas, it
being recognized that the metropolitan areas dominate the State
Assembly; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition No. 15 would seek the domination both
branches of the Legislature by the metropolitan interests to the
detriment of the lesser populated areas of the State and would
destroy the "Federal Plain'l
, under which California has grown and
prospered;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Ukiah does
18
hereby
RESOLVE: that it is opposed to Proposition No. 15 as an
unjust and illogical mea:sure which would deprive the citizens of
this area of their voice and representation in the State Senate
and would create a dictatorship of urban interests.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be
sent to the League of California Cities and all other interested
i, parties.
