A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA IN SUPPORT OF
PROPOSITION 12, THE SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD
PARKS, CLEAN WATER, CLEAN AiR, AND COASTAL
PROTECTION BOND ACT OF 2000
Whereas, California's state, regional, and local parks serve as recreational,
social, and cultural centers for California's communities, providing important venues for
youth enrichment and safety, community identity, protection of natural and historic sites,
park land and open space; and
Whereas, the state's commitment to state, regional, and local parks has
dwindled over the last decade, thereby California and its communities have not kept
pace with the needed funding for rehabilitation, development, and acquisition; and
Whereas, during this same period of diminished funding for state, regional and
local parks, California's citizens have increased their visits to state and local parks; and
Whereas, California is known for its incredible natural resources of open space,
mountains, rivers, coastline, and forests that positively impact the state and local
economy, and
Whereas, California is largely an urban state where it is projected the state's
population will continue to grow by 18 million by 2020; thereby placing more pressure
on existing park land and facilities; and
Whereas, California's economy is dependent upon maintaining a high quality of
life that includes attractive and safe public park and recreation facilities and services;
and
Whereas, the last statewide park bond was passed in 1988; and
Whereas, Proposition 12, the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air,
and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000, provides $2.1 billion for state and local park
projects to preserve our natural heritage and allow urban areas to expand much
needed recreation facilities that serve children, youth, seniors, and families; and
Whereas, of this sum, it is estimated that the City of Poway will directly receive
$593,000 in per capita funding as well as the ability to apply for additional competitive
funding.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Poway, California does
hereby support the passage of Proposition 12, the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean
Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000, and encourages voters to
approve this bond act on March 7, 2000.
