A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON
SUPPORTING PROPOSITION 12, 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, parkland 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 parkland 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, 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,
Therefore, be it resolved that the City of Carson supports the passage of
the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection
Bond Act of 2000, and encourages California voters to approve this bond act in
March 2000.
