IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION 40
ON THE MARCH 5, 2002 PRIMARY BALLOT
WHEREAS, California's state, regional, and local parks and beaches serve as
recreational, social, and cultural centers for California's communities, providing
important venues for youth enrichment and safety; community identity; protection of
natural, cultural and historic sites, parkland and open space; and tourism, and
WHEREAS, in order to maintain a high quality of life for California's
growing population, our state needs a continuing investment in parks, beaches,
surface water quality protection, recreation facilities, and
WHEREAS, each generation of Californians has an obligation to be good
stewards of these natural and community resources in order to pass them onto their
children, and
WHEREAS, California's citizens and visitors have increased their visits to
state and local parks and beaches, and
WHEREAS, California's open space, parks, mountains, rivers, beaches and
coastline, and forests 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 parkland, beaches and related facilities, and
WHEREAS, California's economy is dependent upon maintaining a high
quality of life that includes good surface water quality and attractive and safe
public park, beach, and recreation facilities, and
WHEREAS, Proposition 40, the Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhoods
Parks, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2002, provides $2.6 billion for state and
local park, beach, and water quality projects to preserve California's natural
heritage and allow urban areas to expand much needed recreation facilities that
serve children, youth, seniors, and families; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach that the City
of Newport Beach hereby supports the passage of Proposition 40, the Clean Water,
