RESOLUTION NO. A
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH ENDORSING PROPOSITION ONE,
THE $250 MILLION PARKS AND RECREATION BOND
ISSUE ON THE JUNE 4TH STATEWIDE BALLOT
WHEREAS, Proposition 1 on the June 4th statewide
ballot will provide $250 million for new facilities and the
development of existing resources for historical features
of the State Park System and for fish and wildlife conserva-
tion; and
WHEREAS, $90 million of this will be granted
directly to all California counties for the use of local
government, which throughout the State is in dire need of
park funds, as the demand for local parks has increased
tremendously; and
WHEREAS, if Proposition 1 is approved by the voters,
the City of Newport Beach would receive approximately
$206,000 for beach development; and
WHEREAS, these local parks will be created and
developed at no cost to the property taxpayer; and
WHEREAS, the need for passage of this bond issue
is apparent due to the increased loss of potential parkland
to development;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of Newport Beach hereby endorses Proposition 1,
for the preservation of our State's natural environment in
the face of the current park crisis, and calls on all
Californians to cast a YES vote for Proposition 1 on June 4,
1974.
ADOPTED this 28th day of May, 1974.
