QUESTION

CAN THE CI':'Y, UNILATERALLY, ox MOTION OF rns CITY

COUNCIL, ABANDON THE USE OF I't':E SANI'A MONICA MUNIcIpAL tURPORT AS A:: AIRPOP.T?

ANS'4ER

NO.

DISCUSSION

I. Preliminary Matters

At the public hearing in the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on

January 10, 1962, I orally expressed an opinion in accordance

with the fore6cing. Because of the discussion engendered by

said opinion and tne remarkS of the City council at that time,

I felt that I had been instructed to prepare a formal opinion

in writing.

Because of the number of documents involved, it is impractical

to refer to all of them or attach copies. Suffice it to say

that where pertinent, there will be specific references and

quotation from the documents on file. For a very good index

to most of the documents and a composite picture of the Airport development, you are referred to Map No. 2163, on file

in the office of the City Engineer. This map contains 12

sheets, and noted thereon are the bulk of the documents

dealing With the Airport.

Section 50474 of the Government Cod" authorizes the City to

enter into contracts or other',vi.se cooper-a te with the Federal

Government or other publi~ or private agencies in connection

with the erection or maintenance of airports. This section is

alsO derived from theStat~tes of 1927, Chapter 267, page 007,

Section 4, the pertinent provisions of which are as follows:

"SECTION 4. In connection with the erection or

maintenance of any such airpOrt . . . any such et ty

. shall have the power a':'ld jurisdiction . • . to

enter into contracts or ot.hert..•Lae co-operate with the

federal government or other public or pr1 vate agencies,

and otherwise exercise such power3 as may be required

or convenient in the promoti:m of aeronautics and the

furtherance of commerce and nav i gat.ton by atr-."

It is clear theit the use of the funds for aLq;ort purposes is

adequately provided for in the statJtory law of this State.

The various contracts entered into by the City with private

operators also are pr-ov Lded for and are permissible for the

development of an airport (Gover~ment Code Section 50478;

Pipes v. H1.lderbrand., 110 CA 2d 645).

:n addition. the disposition and use of park landa ar€ a

municipal affair (Mallon v. City of Lon~ Beach, 44 C. 20 1

Hiller v. City of Los 1\l"[;e1e8, 197 tJ,CAJ.12j Wrley·v. City
