RESOLUTION NO. 1993 . 16
A RESOLUTION OF THE EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT, SUPPORTING
LOCATION OF A DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACCOUNTING CENTER AT THE
SITE OF NORTON AIR FORCE BASE IN SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, Norton Air Force Base is in the process of
closing as part of our nation's defense reduction, and if
therefore, being proposed for various reuse activities under
the jurisdiction of the Inland Valley Development Agency,
and
WHEREAS, Norton AFB has housed for several decades, in
addition to flying missions, a large variety of sizeable Air
Force support units, including audit, Inspector General,
safety, and audiovisual functions, and
WHEREAS, because of this background and many other
similar public and private operations in the general
location, the San Bernardino area has an abundance of
skilled workers who can respond immediately to the needs of
such an Accounting Center, and
WHEREAS, the San Bernardino area offers an affordable
market and many other welcome attributes to new employees,
even beyond the sizeable labor force already available, and
WHEREAS, the siting of a Defense Accounting Center at
Norton AFB enjoys enthusiastic county-wide support, because
it becomes a major employer and economic asset throughout
our far-flung county and in the multi-county region.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the East Valley
Water District joins in supporting and endorsing the
proposal by the Inland Valley Development Agency and urges
the Department of Defense to approve location of a Defense
Accounting Center at the site of Norton Air Force Base.
The foregoing resolution was duly adopted at a meeting
of the Board of Directors of the East Valley Water District
by motion made, duly seconded and carried unanimously on
January 11, 1993 .
