A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIONAL CEMETARY
AT THE CAMP PARKS FACILITY IN ALAMEDA COUNTY
WHEREAS, the Department of the Army has indicated its
intention to excess approximately 150 acres of the southern most
part of the Camp Parks Reserve Training Area; and
WHEREAS, the Veterans Administration Department of
Memorial Affairs has indicated its interest in establishing a
national cemetary at this location; and
WHEREAS, the proposed national cemetary would be
immediately adjacent to the City of Dublin's easterly boundary;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Dublin City Council reviewed the
proposal by the Veterans Administration at its meeting of
August 27, 1984; and
WHEREAS, the Dublin City Council wishes to inform the
United States Congress Armed Services Committee of its position
with respect to the location of a national cemetary at this site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dublin City
Council does hereby resolve the following:
1. The City Council supports a national cemetary in the
aesthetically pleasing rolling hills of a portion of the Camp
Parks site, but opposes the location of a national cemetary
on the 150 acres presently proposed by the Veterans
Administration.
2. In that the Alameda Counny Local Agency Formation
Commission has designated several thousand acres of land to
the City of Dublin's easterly boundary, including the Camp
Parks site as coming under the City of Dublin's sphere of
influence; and thus potentially becoming part of the City of
Dublin proper in the future; the City wishes to express the
necessity of having a public thoroughfare traversing the Camp
Parks property from the City of Dublin to the east in order
to accomplish the future expansion of the City of Dublin.
3. The City Council encourages the United States Congress
Armed Services Committee to consider the City of Dublin's
position with respect to the location of the national
cemetary as presently proposed by the Veterans
Administration.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 27th day of August,
1984.
