Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council

Motion in Support of Assembly Bill No. 1406
Port and Harbors: Freight Security
Motion in Support of Proposed Legislation

Assembly Woman Karnette has introduced AB.1406, which will require the California State Office of Homeland Security to report on methods for assessing the states ongoing port security needs.

As residents who live in neighborhoods near the Port of Los Angeles, we are concerned about the lack of Federal and State support to meet the post September 11, 2001 security requirements at the Port of Los Angeles.

We, as the Northwest Neighborhood Council, support the passage of Assembly Bill 1406 and the:

1. Development of an integrated statewide strategic port security plan for California.

2. That the California State Office of Homeland Security take an active role in the preparation of this plan.

3. That the State Office of Homeland Security and California legislative work to increase the federal security grants received by California, since over 40% of our nation’s imports occur through the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Approved by the NWSPNC at its meeting on August 8, 2005.
