Footnotes to history:
The three council members voting against the resolution to offer a deal to the Dodgers were Earle Baker, Patrick McGee and Edward R. Roybal. Councilman John Holland originally opposed the resolution but changed his vote in hopes of reopening the issue.

Notice Mayor Norris Poulson’s comments comparing the vote on the Dodgers to the votes on Owens Valley, dredging the Los Angeles Harbor and the Colorado Aqueduct. "This, too, is a deal in which we are going to do something for this great city of ours."
