A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CARSON IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION 44, THE
WATER CONSERVATION AND WATER QUALITY BOND LAW
OF 1986
WHEREAS, an adequate supply of good quality water is essential to
the health and safety of California's ever growing population; and,
WHEREAS, adequate supplies of good quality water are vital to the
maintenance and development of the State's economy; particularly California's
two largest industries, tourism and agriculture, generating $45 billion in annual
revenue for California; and,
WHEREAS, locally sponsored water conservation, groundwater recharge,
and drainage projects are among the most cost effective ways to help insure
adequate supplies of good quality water; and,
WHEREAS, in 1984, the California electorate approved a Clean Water
Bond Act which provided $10 million for low interest loans to water agencies
for water conservation projects; and,
WHEREAS, application for those loans exceeded available funds by
nine times, demonstrating the need for such a program; and,
WHEREAS, the Water Conservation and Water Quality Control Bond
Act, Proposition 44, on the June ballot would provide $150 million for loans to
water agencies for water conservation, groundwater recharge, and drainage
projects; and,
WHEREAS, the Water Conservation and Water Quality Bond Act,
Proposition 44, would be an extremely cost effective measure for Californians,
costing an average of 37 cents per household annually; and,
WHEREAS, funds available from Proposition 44 are expected to be
a significant help in developing locally sponsored water conservation, drainage,
and groundwater recharge projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of Carson hereby supports Proposition 44 and urges its passage by
the California electorate on June 3, 1986.
